3 STARS (I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).Braden and Alexa met the summer they were 10 and fell in love soon after. Before either could tell the other Alexa's parents divorce and her mother takes her from Sand Harbor and moves to the East coast. 15 years later...Bradon has come home from serving in the Army (after being injured in combat) and is trying to get over a divorce and what he will do next. Alexa has also returned when her Aunt Phoebe is attacked in her shop. Alexa and Bradon get together to investigate who attacked Phoebe and their own past.Book 2 in the wish series is quite different then the first book. The only thing that ties them together is the theme of making wishes. This novel is about one couple and not just their journey for love and life but also a mystery. They try and find out who attacked Alexa's aunt and soon are drawn into the past and other mystery. I liked that when I finished this novella I was satisfied. It was only 100+ pages and yet I think it was well done. I will definitely read the third book slated for Summer 2013. Star crossed children, constant companions during each summer are separated by life. Each returns to the shore that was their playground each summer for different reasons. They find each other again, find love in each other again as adults. This was a sweet innocent summer story. Hero and Heroine are strong characters with a wealth of support in their community and family.A great story. Loved it.
