 Three wishes.

 Seb wants to be happy.

 Matt wants to find ‘the one.’

 Connor wants them.

 Two drunken kisses.

 Seb didn’t plan to kiss Matt and Connor, but he doesn’t regret it, even if it has changed their friendship forever.

 Matt has never considered dating a man before, let alone two. Despite his confusion, being with Seb and Connor feels right.

 One uncertain future.

 Connor’s potential fate has stopped him living and loving. Can he face his fears to be with the men he loves?

Excerpt

 Matt adjusted his jogging bottoms and leaned back against the sofa. The next words popped out of his mouth unfiltered. "I could do with a blow job."

 Seb snorted out a loud laugh. "Too much information." He patted Matt's shoulder. "But hey, if you're desperate, I don't mind obliging." Seb's laughter trailed off into a nervous chuckle. "Umm… that was a joke."

 “Yeah, yeah, of course." Matt couldn't look at Seb. A week ago, he'd have taken a comment like that and ribbed his friend with it mercilessly. Now, he wasn't sure at all that it had been meant in jest. He wasn't even sure that he wanted it to be a joke. He rubbed his jaw, clearing his throat again. "What would you do if I said yes?”

 Seb twisted on the sofa so he was facing Matt. "You're not going to say yes."

 "What if I did?" Matt kept his stare on the ceiling, but he was still able to see Seb shrug out of the corner of his eye.

 “I'd give you one.”

 Seb's reply was so matter-of-fact that it sent a chill running up Matt's spine. It did nothing to ease the pressure in his cock. If anything, blood pumped to it faster.

 "Really?" Matt asked. Why the hell was he still talking? It was like he was engaged in a game of chicken with Seb, trying to see which one of them would back down first. He had no idea how far his head, or his cock, was willing to take it.

 “Sure, why not? It's just a blow job, right? It wouldn't mean anything.”

 "But we're friends," Matt stuttered.

 "Wouldn't be the first time I've sucked off a friend."

 Review
If I had to describe this book in one word, I’d use ‘charming’. If I were allowed to use more words, I’d also include sexy (very) and heart-warming, but my prevailing feeling now that I’ve finished the story is definitely that I have been charmed.

I’ve been charmed by three adorable man who have been friends for ages and slowly either realize that their feelings for each other run deeper or, in once case, come to the conclusion that fear shouldn’t keep them from following their heart.

Polyamorous stories are all too often angst-ridden. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that. For one, angst is a major and important story-thread in romance and besides, thropples or other multi-partner relationships do tend to cause more of a struggle for those involved, if only because our society can’t deal with the idea of anything besides coupling-up.

But while the potential reactions of the rest of the world certainly get mentioned in this book, and Connor, Matt, and Seb are all too aware that what they’re slowly creating is something out of the ordinary, the issues they encounter in that respect are minor. And, for me that was perfect because it meant the story concentrated on the three men recognizing and accepting their feelings before slowly finding their way in what is for all three of them new territory.

And while I’m on the subject of new territory, for both Matt and Connor virtually everything they encounter and do after they give in to their feelings for each other is new. Matt has only every dated women, and Connor, while always attracted to men, has never gone beyond kissing. Seb, on the other hand may have known he’s gay since he was a teenager and may also have plenty of sexual experience, he too has never contemplated a polyamorous relationship before, never mind one with his best friends.

The journey these three men make, from those first impulsive and drunken kisses to integrating their lives is sweet and incredibly sexy, but what touched me most was that it was all unrushed with Seb, Connor, and Matt always taking each other’s comfort into account and never putting any pressure or expectations on each other.

Before you think this book is ‘just’ sugary sweetness (although I’m not sure there’d be anything wrong with that), allow me to reassure you. Of course, there is conflict in this story, be it caused by outside forces and of course there’s also a moment when it all literally appears to crash horribly. But even through the nightmares, the one thing that’s never in doubt is the love these three men share and the certainty that come what may, they will find their way towards happiness.


Long story short, I Wished for You is an adorable feel-good read. In fact, it’s exactly the sort of book I often wish for when I need something to cheer me up.
