Wish: A Male/Male Westbrook Elite Standalone Kindle Edition

by Cambria Hebert (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,056 ratings
For me, choice might as well be a wish.
My parents died in a fiery car crash when I was barely sixteen.
I’m gay.
I’m also totally in love with my brother.
I didn’t choose any of that. In fact, I’ve tried like hell to deny it. But here I am in all my gay, brother-loving, no-parentals glory.
Technically, Max isn’t my brother. Not by blood anyway. That should make it less ick, right?
Considering he calls my parents mom and dad, probably not.
Also, did I mention he’s straight?
So that’s me: the freestyle swimmer doing my best to keep my sexuality on the down-low while simultaneously wishing my feelings for Max will evaporate into thin air.
Too bad he acts like he’s my keeper and my heart shakes every time his eyebrow ring glints in the sun or he levels his opaque stare on me with an intensity matched by nothing else.
My desire to keep my personal life personal drowns at the bottom of the pool when a fellow Elite lets everyone in on my business, which throws Max into macho protective mode all over again.
Enough is enough, though. I’m forcing myself to move on.
Maybe the best way to forget about my forbidden crush is to find a new one.
I have options. More than I realized.
Unfortunately, none of them are leather-wearing, tattoo-sporting, motorcycle-riding grumpholes.
So here I am wishing for Max while someone else wishes for me.
Someone who decides if they can’t have me…
No one will.

Please note that WISH contains homophobia. There is also mention of off-page child abuse and parental death. This book also contains a male/male sibling-esque relationship and mentions of male assault. Some readers may find these things uncomfortable.

She considers math human torture and has an irrational fear of chickens (yes, chickens). You can often find her running on the treadmill (she’d rather be eating a donut), painting her toenails (because she bites her fingernails), or walking her chihuahuas (the real bosses of the house).

Cambria has written in many genres, including new adult, sports romance, male/male romance, sci-fi, thriller, suspense, contemporary romance, and young adult. Many of her titles have been translated into foreign languages and have been the recipients of multiple awards.

    I love Cambria Hebert. I am a huge fan of her #Nerd and Gear Shark series and Westbrook Elite is definitely in the same caliber. In Wish, Hebert is once again showing how talented she is as writing New Adult MM romance. This book has everything the romance lovers want - pining, yearning, desperation, chemistry, passion. It is all there. I can't find enough good words for this book but it is definitely on par with Gear Shark and for me that is a huge call. I highly recommend this book and I can't wait for the next one.

    Omg … Cambria has done it again with Wes and Max!
    It’s an angsty read with lots of heart, yearning and tragedy sprinkled in.
    What a fabulous read … sooo worth it.
    Cambria once again pulls you in, pulls on your heart strings and of course brings in lots of angst and of course all the spice!!!
    Loved this book … the side characters are just as awesome and ‘bro’ like as you’d imagine and Wes and Max’s story is pure heart. A must read if you like the Westbrook Elite boys series 💞

    5.0 out of 5 stars Loved Wes and Max's story; taboo step brothers, brothers best friend, praise kink, suspense and hot
    Reviewed in Australia on 11 January 2023
    Ever since reading Wet and Wingspan I had been patiently waiting and hoping Wes would get his own story. Of Course Cambria delivered it perfectly, she has a way of developing these amazing secondary characters that draw you in a then basically demand their own book.

    I would def's wing and binitely recommend reading both of the previous books are they are interconnected and we get to see our previous favourite couples again.

    Wes and Max's story is one of forbidden love; step brother, brother's best friend, but thereis also years of pining, and there story is more on the emotionally angsty side of things. Max is not Wes's brother by blood but has basically his brother since the tragic accident that took Wes's parents lives. Max had to suffer abuse from his father while growing up and found his safe haven with Wes and his family, I loved how we did get to see those flashbacks and memories to understand where the love really started for Wes.

    Wes himself had been dealt a hard hand in life the tragic death of his parents and dealing with homophobic morons. He basically shut himself down and has only recently been coming to terms with himself and feeling a bit more safe, being taken under Ryan and Jamie's wing finally gave him a solid friend group. We get to see Ryan and Jamie being supportive and protective friends along with meeting Win, Wes's brother. Who I'm secretly hoping gets his own book.

    There is suspense and mystery which Cambria manages to weave brilliantly through her romance stories. I love how different Wes and Max are, opposites basically but they are perfectly matched for each other.

    Another amazing book in the Westbrook Elite series!! I can't wait for more!

    What an amazing book!
    After reading Wet then Wingspan I was so anxious to read Wish
    This is honestly a wonderful book, the story took me on such an incredible journey that at times I was sitting on the edge of my seat.
    The storyline is magnificent, an adoring love that blossoms between Max and Wes, a perfect book.
    Such a lot that I didn’t anticipate and didn’t realise, many twists and turns, parts that blew my mind.
    This was a love that I wanted to happen. I had my fingers crossed whilst reading.

    Angst, emotional, beautiful sweetness, I can’t recommend this book enough…..
    I adored this series it’s utter perfection…..

    Reviewed in Canada on 10 January 2023

    Just a couple days into 2023 and I know this is going to be a year of amazing reads. This was an M/M story that I didn’t see coming. While I’ve started venturing out and trying things outside my comfort zone, I didn’t think Wes and Max would capture me the way they did.

    I was very curious of these characters as you meet them in Wet and Wingspan but i didn’t think I’d get as emotional as I did.

    Wes has gone through his fair share of heartache from losing his parents at a young age and having a really bad experience when he came out to his friends at the age of 16.

    Three years have passed and now he is an Elite Swimmer who tries to keep to himself. The key word here being tries because he was no match for Ryan and Jamie. They recognize him as a fellow “bro” and consistently show that they have his back.

    Max comes in all hot and broody and I was here for it. He is the definition of “he hates everyone but him”. He refuses to take chances when it comes to Wes’ safety. While it would annoy most people, Wes soaks up the attention because he has loved Max for as long as he can remember.

    The problem is, Max is his brothers best friend.

    To say that these characters go through some trying situations is an understatement. Their story was fast paced, suspenseful, hilarious and filled with so much angst (with a side of praise kink 😏) I loved how the past characters are still present in this book and how newer characters are beginning to shine. Mr. Win, I can’t wait to learn more about you.

    I’ll end this review with one of my favourite quotes

    Wes - “ I was not a boy. I wasn’t even good. but I want to be his good boy.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars Possessive and epic

    Max is Wes’s unofficially adopted brother and his other brother Win’s best friend. So having more than brotherly feelings for Max is complicated. Even more so for Max whose family was so abusive Wes and Win’s parents fought his for custody. Wanting Wes feels like a betrayal of the trust their mom and dad put in him, but the pull to be with Wes keeps getting stronger, as does the yearning in Wes’s eyes.

    “But I could never be afraid of the dark because Max stepped out of it so many times. I just thought he might need it when he snuck in at night.”

    “When he came out, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. About him. My first thought when he confessed to me and Win about his preference? So there’s a chance. Not surprise. Not support. Not even disgust… Hope.”

    This book had me feeling so many emotions! I got teary-eyed multiple times. Even though in real life it is not healthy or attractive, there is something about super possessive, co-dependent relationships in romance novels that is so addictive. I guess it’s the intensity of the emotions, the feeling that this love is epic. Max and Wes definitely have that kind of a bond—a connection formed in childhood that almost had no other choice than to grow into romantic love. I just love the bit about the nightlight and what it represented. And how even as a child Max sought out Wes for comfort. And even with Max’s violent, abusive childhood leaving him with anger management issues Wes is never afraid of Max. Max’s darkness holds no fear for Wes. And the way that Wes and Win’s parents gave Max the unconditional love his own parents were incapable of makes the conflicts and obstacles that Max, especially, feels so natural and understandable. Wes may not think so, but Max was right to give Wes time. Wes’s own traumas left him with issues he needed to get a handle on, and Max gave hime time and space to do that (well, a little space anyway). In fact, in a weird way, Wes’s hurt feeling about Max not acting on his feelings sooner is part of how Wes learns to put himself out there and make new friends and stand up for himself. So that when he and Max come together in the end they are more equals than they would otherwise have been.

    If I have any criticism it’s that the steamy scenes go on a little too long—they are emotionally relevant, but just a little long. Also, I’m not really sure the stalker subplot was necessary, or the homophobic teammate. I mean if you removed them from the book, I think you still have a story. I don’t want to spoil anything but I will say a good point is made about how men can be victims too.

    I adore Wes’s friends—Jamie, Ryan, Madison, and Rory—they are so much fun and so supportive and loving. Bro, one of the times I got teary was because of these guys! I will definitely be reading WTF because I need more of Win, Wes, Max, and the Elite swimmers.

    This is my first M/M book. I wasn't sure about reading it at first as it wasn't something I thought I was interested in, but I had to read it. Wes was such a big character in the other stories in the series. I had to read the story, and I was not disappointed, not even a little bit.
    This author knows how to write the drama! This friend group goes through so much together. Maxi and Nemo have been through so much throughout their lives together. They just make sense. They are meant to be from the beginning. I love that Win is the greatest brother and best friend ever when it comes to their relationship.
    I can't wait to read the next M/M story now.
