Wishful Thinking Synopsis
Lexie
has one goal in life: to grant one last wish for each of her patients. There
isn’t a request she will deny, and has yet to fail to deliver a promise. That
is, until the day she goes in search of the infamous rock star Kaleb Knight,
who can’t care less about her life’s ambition, or the children she is
determined to help.
Kaleb
has his own dark secrets. He lives each day as if it’s his last, and refuses to
spare a moment of his time to play the part of a knight in shining
armor—especially for someone like Lexie . . . or so he thought. Now, his head
and heart are at war, and his soul is screaming she is exactly what he needs.
Will
Lexie be the only one that can save him in the end? Or will he instead succumb
to the darkness threatening to consume him?

Kim's Review
4.5 Stars!
Lexie is known as the wish maker at the hospital
she works at. Her goal is to make the last wish of her patients
comes true. It’s a tall order to fill but somehow she seems to come
through every time. Her latest request has become quite a challenge
when she tracks down Rocker Kaleb Knight, Lead singer of Dragon Knight to
convince him to meet with her patients.
Just when she thinks this is the one wish she can’t
grant Kaleb shows up. Will it all be for nothing or can they save
the one thing the both desperately want?
I was given this book in exchange for an honest
review.
Lexie had a twin who died when they were only
fourteen. That lost has shaped Lexie’s world and put her on the
track of grant last wishes for her patients in the pediatric oncology
department. Lost is something Lexie has become all too familiar with
but she gets through knowing that she was able to grant them their one wish.
When her patient Ben needed more treatment that he
doesn’t want to go through she comes up with a way to convince him to do it by
this time it all depends on the help of Kaleb Knight. When things
don’t go according to plan Lexie begins to wonder why she does what she does.
This is the first book in The Dragon Knights series
and boy did it pull me in. This book was an emotional roller coaster
as we got an up close glimpse of how the life of an oncology nurse’s work life
is. This book pull at my heart string as each patient Lexie cared
for either got to go home or worse, died. I was hard to read some of
the book as longing a child is never easy no matter what the reason for the
loss. It gave me a new appreciation for nurses who live this
life. The only down side to the book was Kaleb’s story. It
was all but predictable as to why he didn’t want to visit a sick child but it
was well written. The choices and what was to come was not so
predictable. I couldn’t help but jump on the Lexie and Kaleb band
wagon like Ben did. As more of Lexie’s story as a child comes out
and how she is having her own difficulties you get to see just how well matched
these two are.
The review may only read as a 4 star read but it’s
a definite 4.5 stars. It was a great start to the series and has me
looking for to the next book for the band Dragon Knights.
