What a beautiful book.

As always Sarah Ready has woven a beautiful love story with passion, family, angst and so much love. Her writing never ceases to amaze me, like ever!

What if you’re in love with someone? What if you make a wish for them to love you? Harmless, right? It’s just a wish after all.

However, what are you supposed to do if it comes alive? What happens if your wish is granted? How many ways can your life change or differ from reality if a wish randomly comes true? Will it be the same? Have you ever wondered what would happen if things weren’t the way they are?

Honestly, Max was a lovable character. I loved him in fated but loved him more here.

I enjoyed how the story unfolded. Just when I thought now everything will be ok, a new dilemma arises and with it new angst.

I adored the ending, but it also broke my heart to say goodbye to these characters who lived in my mind and heart for so long now. But there is also peace in knowing that after so many hardships it’s time for them to live happily ever after.

Absolutely recommended and pls start with my fav Ghosted.

P.s The Max in love version is my favourite. The way he incorporated something special and hidden for her in his jewellery collection each year was so dreamy. That man you guys!

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Swift & Lewis Publishing LLC for the advance audiobook of this title.

This is the second book of the Ghosted series that I have listened to--listened to the 2nd book first. I struggle a bit with this genre--It seems like realistic fiction, and then it's suddenly fantasy. I have to wonder if reading the first book will clarify the perspective for me. I liked Anna a lot. I liked Max sometimes. After their world changed because of a wish, I struggled a lot to figure out what happened to everyone's memories and what the best ending would be for everyone. Did the writer achieve it?

Planning to read the third book next, as I have it already--but can't wait to read the first one!

This is the first book I have read by this author, Sarah Ready, and it did not disappoint! I now want to read the 3 books before this book in the “Ghosted” series. Luckily, this was a standalone book and did not have to be read in order. I very much enjoyed the story line in this book, even though I was skeptical at first. Typically I do not enjoy alternate timelines within my romance books, but this one wasn’t like the typical time “travel”-esk books I’ve read before. I thought this would be a good book for a more reluctant reader who needs something romantic but eventful. It really does grab you right from the start!

I adored this book. I actually have adored this entire series. Ms. Ready truly stretches her imagination in these books and creates some clever plots that employ elements of sci fi and so on.

In this latest installment, Wished, Anna and Max fall for each other, then they don't, then one does and the other one doesn't. It's a bit chaotic but in a good way. I loved the originality of the storyline. The way they continued to develop their relationship even through uncertainty was pretty sweet. I can't help but love the mysticism of it all.

Anna is a character that you only want to see good things happen to - - she's kind and giving and has been dealt a rough hand in life. Max is lonely. He may have plenty of money but he's missing out on love and doesn't want to risk feeling too much because he's afraid of loss.

The narrations of the audiobook were done very well and helped make the book even better.

Thank you to NetGalley for the early copy of the audiobook≥

I want to start by saying I ADORE Sarah Ready! I discovered her last year and have been steadily devouring all of her books. She is a great writer, and I will read literally anything she writes. I also want to address that cover - can you say GORGEOUS???? I'm obsessed.

Now to my least favorite part of the review process... it truly devastates me to say that I did not enjoy this book. This is the 4th book in her Ghosted series. I have read the first two books but haven't had a chance to read her 3rd book, Fated, yet. These aren't necessarily books you need to read in order; however, you do get introductions to the characters so it's more fun to read them in order. I LOVED the first two books. I flew through them in no time. This one, sadly, was a struggle for me.

I really liked the premise. Generally, I'm not usually drawn to these types of romance but again, I'll read anything Sarah Ready writes. Max was an insufferable character, and I found it hard to root for a romance between him and Anna. Anna, on the other hand, was a delightful character. I truly did enjoy her and felt she was fleshed out well.

The structure and pacing of the book were a little odd and because I didn't feel a connection to the romance between the characters, it didn't work for me. Overall, it's hard for me to pinpoint exactly what it was about this book that didn't work for me.

I really enjoyed the narration by Amanda Ronconi and Will Watt. Both were phenomenal.

Even though this one didn't work for me, I look forward to backtracking to Fated and jumping back into this world Ready has created.

First I would like to thank the audiobook publisher for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

When Anna Benoit wishes she’s married to the enigmatic owner of the chateau she cleans, she wakes up in a topsy-turvy world where she’s Max Barone’s wife. Anna is a romantic who believes in The One and Love at First Sight. Why? Because it happened to her. The second she saw Max Barone she fell desperately, hopelessly in love. It didn’t matter that they were from completely different worlds—he owned a jewelry empire, she cleaned houses—love had no barriers. Except one. Max didn’t know Anna’s name, much less that she existed. Then one day Anna made a wish. Suddenly she was in an upside down world where everyone believed she and Max had been happily married for years. It was passion. It was romance. It was love. It was everything she’d ever wished for. Wasn’t it?

What I Loved:
- Narrators, this audiobook is amazing and I love the narrators take on Anna and Max
- Anna's family
- Magic, Max's legacy is jewelry and I love the magic is linked to a family heirloom
- Banter
- Spice
- Anna's sacrifice

Overall I really enjoyed this book and it might be my favorite of the series. This has such a unique magic aspect and I liked how both characters remember the 'before times' which was a new take for this book series. If you are looking for an opposites attract romance with fun magical aspects, crazy neighbors and a unique family setup I would recommend you check this book out!

I already loved this book and reviewed my arc copy but I wanted to check out the audiobook as well!

It was well done. Thank you for the opportunity.

This is a fun one-time romantic fantasy read. I enjoyed the male female narration of the audio book. The audiobook helps in pronunciation of the various French words.

Ok, I had high hopes for this book because I did read the two other books from this series: Fated and Switched. Granted book one also disappointed me I was still hopeful.
Unfortunately, this is a repeat of book one.
I adored Max from the previous books and wanted his story and happy ever after. Anna is not a bad character, she is adorable and I liked her. My problem is I read book two and book three where the final coming together of the main characters is NECESSARY. Lives were on the line, not just broken hearts and tears.
Broken hearts happen every time and any where. And this is what this book is all about - wishes that leads to broken hearts and tears. It is a peek at two hearts and their longings and desires.
I said I liked Anna and I did specially because her grown up moment is selfless. So this book is not exactly a bad one. It is a good romance story. The characters are relatable, specially Anna for me. For a first time reader for this author or for a romance reader who will not compare, this will not disappoint. Max and Anna will engaged you, their story will make you care.
Sadly for me, I cannot help but compare books.
Thanks to netgalley for the audiobooks.

I will never ever want this series to end. I love it so much! I will forever keep an eye out for anything Sarah writes!

I always love Sarah Ready's books, and this was no exception! They are just the best romances. This was such a good read!

Wished is the fourth book in Sarah Ready’s Ghosted series. Anna Benoit wasn’t one to believe in love at first sight until it happened to her. The first time she met Max Barone, head of a jewelry empire, when she was cleaning his home office she knew. After years of love from afar, Anna discovers a magnificent piece of jewelry on his desk with a very old note saying that the necklace granted wishes, and wish she did.

The next morning Anna awakens in a soft and luxurious bed, but it’s not in her room in the tiny apartment she shares with her mother and much younger sister Emmy. And when she arises she finds herself dressed in sexy underwear she never saw before. Arriving at Max’s office building clad in only one of his white dress shirts, she encounters his personal assistant who recognizes her, but when finally admitted to Max’s office, he is as stymied by what has happened as Anna is. And as they try to unravel the events since Anna made her wish, other wishes are made and much occurs.

This is an interesting story wrapped around a fantasy core. As with the first three books in this series, the magic makes all the difference and the characters work towards a happily ever after. I did enjoy this book and I do recommend it!

Wished by Sarah Ready is an utterly charming and magical romance that’s as heartwarming as it is entertaining. The story follows Anna, a chateau cleaner who makes a wish on a mysterious necklace for her unrequited love, Max—the chateau’s owner—to fall in love with her. Chaos ensues when her wish unexpectedly comes true, leaving both Anna and Max in a whirlwind of confusion as they realize that wishes aren’t always what they seem. Their journey to set things right is filled with laughter, tender moments, and a blossoming romance that feels earned and genuine. With delightful side characters like Doreen, the quirky neighbor and friend, and narrators who bring the audiobook to life beautifully, Wished is a sweet and lighthearted story that will leave you smiling. A magical, feel-good listen that’s a standout in Sarah Ready’s repertoire!

This was everything. If I could listen to it again for the first time again, all would be right in the world. Sarah has truly captured my heart with her hopeless romantic MMC and I am running to read her backlist.

Wished was such a fun concept and a unique perspective on just how much power a single thought or wish can hold if it comes true at any moment.

This is by far one of the hardest books I’ve ever reviewed. I imagine it’s like sitting down and having to write your wedding vows, putting your absolute love and adoration for something into words… It’s hard. This entire series is beautiful and one of my favorites of all time. It’s beautiful, imaginative and absolutely heartwarming. It’s one you can read again and again and discover new layers.

Loved the narrator for all four of these books!!

4.75 ⭐️

Sarah is at it again with a great story that kept me hooked until the end! I love the way she keeps you hooked by not always choosing the most predictable plot lines for her stories. If you love romance mixed with a little magic, this one is definitely for you!

Max is in love with Fiona (from Fated - book 3) but after she marries the man of her dreams, he's left alone with his broken heart. Anna is his cleaning lady who fell in love at first sight but Max doesn't even know her name. One wish, with the help of Max's family heirloom, changes both of their lives in ways they never realized they needed.

This book had some good moments not a full on favorite but an entertaining listen nonetheless. I’m gonna check out the others in this little series by Sarah Ready. I have read her other series and really enjoyed those 2.

The was an excellent rom-com! I’ve seen movies like this before but this is the first time I’ve read a book where a wish has changed the life of the main characters. I loved how both Anna and Max remember their original life, but also have memories of what their life had been like in the “wished” for life. I think that’s what adds to the romance, they are enemies in the original life, but they remember the love and romantic times in the “wished” life.

So disappointing.
This is book 4 in the series and can be read alone but you’ll want to read Fated before Wished so you know the background on Max Barone.

I loved the previous book in the series and was anxiously awaiting the release of this book so I’m very disappointed. The narrator is perfect, but I didn’t finish due to way too much content. It’s like this was written by a different person because it has a completely different feeling - the emotions and magic are gone.

Max isn’t romantic or passionate. His relationship with Anna doesn’t have any depth, it is all sexual and not loving but forceful. He’s creepy and possessive and in her words, a predator (end of ch 18.)
I loved the previous book but unfortunately not this one. Thanks to Swift & Lewis Publishing and NetGalley for an advance audio copy to use for my review.
