I'm a huge fan of Ms. Elliott and the Wanted world so this book was a great way to go back to the characters that I love and adore. Because this is taking place prior to the guys meeting the loves of their lives, it really gives us a view of who they were before their women turned their lives upside down in the very best of ways!

Love this series, this is a prequel to the series a kinda where it all started, l love Gunner he is one of my all time book boyfriends

I must say this wasn’t what I was expecting, but none the less, it was enjoyable. The story was intriguing and held your attention. The characters were easy to relate to and connect with. Fans of the romance genre will find this very enjoyable!

I am such a fan of the ORIGINAL Wanted books!!! So, to add any other book into the series tends to bother me. If I am being honest, I was not a fan go this book. I like ho the series ends, and it didn't need more, in my opinion.

I know that is a short review, but it is what I continue to circle back to when I think of this book. The writing is still there! But I wish that the storyline could just be.. Keep the pretty red bow on it and let it be. It was perfect the way it was!

This book is almost like the prequel to the Wanted Series, but I would suggest reading it after book 3 to get the full effect and understand what is going on. This book follows Gunner, Jeff and Josh a few months before the first book "Wanted". It shows the carefree life they had before they met "the ones" and how they were ready for them. It gives a much better insight to Jeff and why he kept Ari at arms length and did the stupid things he did to make her mad.

You ever read something and you didn't dislike it, you just have nothing poignant to say say about it. That's where I am right now. This is more of a prequel than a new installment in this series and honestly I could've lived without going so far back after the other books.

First, let me say that this is a cliffhanger! Desired is the story of 3 college guys, seniors at University of Texas, and their search for "the one". Josh is a manwhore sleeping with different girls almost every night; Gunner, a regular guy who likes the ladies but is not into one-night stand; and Jeff, the older brother to Ellie (a high school senior), who has a crush on her best friend Ari. These three guys seem to be representative of most college seniors. They play hard and love women. Yet each has a different approach to life. Josh has a void in his life and fills it with a different woman every night. Jeff hides his feelings for Ari by pushing her away; and Gunner literally dreams every night of a special someone. The book is written in 3 POVs and sometimes I found myself looking back to the chapter heading to remind myself whose POV I am reading. The novel is well-written and the characters are well-defined and fleshed out. But as good as this story is, I am disappointed that it is not a standalone read.
3 1/2 stars.

As soon as I read the blurb for this story I was instantly intrigued and knew that I wanted to read this story. I was not disappointed with this story because It was a really enjoyable story to read. I loved the storyline and the characters within the story. I cannot wait tore more form this author.

Kelly Elliot can never disappoint. Her characters are amazing and interesting, and this prequel is sweet and so wonderful for fans of her Wanted series.

Loved this book!!! But first, for those who haven't read the first book of the series (Wanted), I suggest you guys read that book first before reading Desired so you can follow through the characters. Anyway, the story and the characters of this book are good! Loved it! I was hooked (yet again) from the start up to the last! I fell in love to the characters again in the series!

**This book is the 'prequel' of the series.**

Sexy. Sweet. I love this author and the stories she tells. Great chemistry. Undeniable attraction. Smoldering tension. Highly recommended!

I'm sorry i really could not get into this story. It just seemed to disorganized for me jumping from character to character, once i got ready to understand one the author would jump to a different guy. Then jump to another guy and then back to the first the guy. All of this was just to much for me. Sorry for i have read this author before and have like the other books. Once again sorry.

I enjoyed this book. It pulled you right in and kept you turning the pages. This book was well written and I had no issues following the story. It tied into the other books in the series well.

Great addition in the Wanted series! Loved how the series continues and getting a more in-depth view of the characters.

I loved how this book gave me an insight to a few questions I had from reading Wanted. Plus it sucked me right back into the Wanted world. Loved it.

Written as a Prequel to the Wanted series, but released as book 8, you may want to read the others first, or immediately after. This book takes a look at the lives of Gunner, Josh and Jeff before they all fell in love.

As told in the guy’s POV, this book is a great insight to what they were feeling while in school, lusting after the girls of their dreams, and the futures that they wanted.

I strongly suggest that you read the entire Wanted series, it is THAT good. Kelly Elliott can seriously write some feelings in her books, and makes you experience all of them.

I enjoyed the characters and their relationships. I now have to go read the rest of the series because I have become invested. Thanks to Kindle Press for the ARC of this title via NetGalley.

I have chosen to DNF this title. I was not able to connect with the characters and I felt like I was reading confusing snippets without fully developed characters.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title.

I am loving this series!! Hot, sweet, fierce, sexy, need I say more!! Kelly Elliott never disappoints and can't wait to read more!!!
