About this ebook

Wishful is a southern romance series written for anyone looking for love in a small town. If you loved Hart of Dixie and miss the residents of Bluebell, you just might fall in love with Wishful. It's a town where everybody knows your name and hope springs eternal! This volume contains Books 10-12.

You Were Meant For Me (Book 10)

It was just supposed to be a fling, so they agreed to no last names—a decision Mitch regretted the moment he woke up to find Tess gone. When Fate gives them another chance, they dive headlong back into their affair to find out whether there’s more than simply heat. But when Tess ends up pregnant, he’ll have the biggest fight of his life convincing her that their fling should be forever. 

A Lot Like Christmas (Book 11)

Hannah's waiting tables at Wishful's Dinner Belles diner and dreaming of getting an interior design business off the ground. What better way to practice and show off her skills than with some holiday decorating? Jaded Ryan, an Army medic on leave, and his cantankerous great uncle, Percy, are desperately in need of Christmas cheer—and a referee. Can Hannah's warmth thaw these frosty hearts?

Dancing Away With My Heart (Book 12)

After a high school trauma hit like a ton of bricks, Lexi has spent years avoiding her best friend, Zach. Now she's back in town just in time for the high school reunion she never planned to attend. All she wants to do is get through this with her secret—and her heart—intact. But what if 10 years is just the right amount of time for Zach to finally get a clue?

Ratings and reviews

If you’re like me and like to leave the best for last, allow me to review the three parts of this Wishful boxed set in the order I would read each. Of course, just like with any Kait Nolan story, the “Dancing Away with My Heart” novella is absolutely worth reading. Lovely couple, entertaining storyline, the familiar setting in Wishful, Lexi’s totally relatable frustration from missing her prom. But to me it just did not make much sense how Zach could be so clueless for so long (obviously, if he had not been clueless, there would be no story). Next – “A Lot Like Christmas” is not just another Christmas story - it is a very endearing, hopeful and uplifting story that will warm your heart. It combines a nod to military service, the afflictions of old age, the importance of family (even if you are not related by blood), and of course, a sweet love story. As I said, best for last. “You Were Meant For Me”, Tess and Mitch’s story, is a great addition to an already great series. It’s got everything I’ve come to love in Kait’s books - very entertaining writing, a spicy yet sweet story that adds some novelty to previous Wishful books (not really a spoiler!), and great characters — Mitch turned out to be a much more interesting character than I’d imagined from his previous appearances. My only gripe is what I think is a somewhat rushed ending — but maybe it is me, I just wanted to keep reading, the story was so interesting.

You Were Meant For Me Mitch and Tess had this whirlwind romance, but they still seemed so connected and had this awesome chemistry. I didn't understand why they felt the need to keep it a secret. Maybe I missed something. I did understand Tess' hesitation after her big surprise. Communication would have resolved a lot of issues but it didn't happen that way initially. Mitch and Teas did finally reach their HEA in a rather unique way. A Lot Like Christmas A sweet, romantic holiday story. Three people, each carrying their own baggage, come together at Christmas. Everyone brings something special into the relationships and help to heal one another in the process. Ryan and Hannah find love, and both help Percy to get past his loss. Dancing Away With My Heart This was my least favorite of the 3 books. I didn't like Lexi. Zach spent most of the book being clueless through no fault of he own. I thought it was interesting that when the lightbulb moment occurred for him, and he tried to address it, he still was made to feel at fault. I felt like it wasn't fair that Lexi knew what was wrong, held on to it and let it simmer for 10 years, and Zach had no idea what was going on. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book received via Booksprout.

I REALLY really love this series. Of course, I already read all of these books before but I still re-read them this time anyway because I still enjoy reading them! And here are my review for each books... You Were Meant For Me: Wow... Kait has done it. Mitch is one of my favorite character and I'm grateful to read about his story, finally. And to say, I'm not disappointed at all. This book is funny with Mitch's family and friends and sweet and hot with Mitch and Tess's chemistry. It's a second chance romance. Tess has her own issue about marriage and in her perspective, her situation with Mitch isn't different from her parents. And I also understand that the Campbell Clan is a bit overwhelming but in the end, Tess fit into Mitch's family just fine! A Lot Like Christmas: OMG... I love Ryan and Hannah. Their story is so cute and so into Christmas season. I love how Kait wrote it a bit funny that make me smile and chuckle in some moments. Really recommended to you all. Dancing Away With My Heart: Lexi and Zach's story is one of my favorite books already and it's a best friends second chance romances. The book doesn't have any steamy scene at all but I feel hot while I'm reading it because Lexi and Zach's chemistry is off the charts so it's easy to give 5 stars for it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
