Excerpt
Axel Forrester adjusted his sunglasses and leaned back against a lounge chair, grateful for the first warm, summerlike day in June in the Hamptons. Xander Kingston’s dog, Bella, sat by his side.
An extra pair of glasses lay on the table beside him. He picked them up and propped them over the golden retriever’s eyes. “There you go, girl. That’s better, isn’t it?” He patted her on the head, and she stretched out on the ground, leaving the glasses in place.
He tipped his head up to the sky and closed his eyes, enjoying the heat on his face. As a California kid, his first winter in New York had been a huge adjustment. He’d moved here last summer when he’d become the drummer for the Original Kings and had spent the first couple of months bunking at the lead singer Dash Kingston’s house.
Axel learned fast that the band was a tight-knit bunch, all living in Dash’s home. Until a baby scare with a groupie put Dash in need of a fake girlfriend to fix his reputation, and Axel’s sister, Cassidy, had played the role.
Now Cassidy and Dash were married, having wed in front of family and friends this past winter. Axel had rented a house nearby, as had Jagger, the guitar player, and Mac, the bassist. But Axel and the guys spent more time at Dash’s home studio or here at Xander’s than at their own places.
Xander complained about the fact that the band had followed Dash’s lead, making his house their home away from home, but nobody believed Xander really considered them unwanted company. And Sasha, the famous actress Xander had married this past spring, welcomed them, as long as they knocked first.
Given the Kingston family’s dysfunctional background, courtesy of their now deceased father, the fact that four of the five siblings were settled and happy gave a guy like Axel hope that he’d meet the right woman. He was sick of the rock-star lifestyle, the parties after the shows, the groupies, and the drinking. At thirty years old, he wanted a partner for life.
And if he couldn’t find the right woman?

MY REVIEW
Axel has achieved the rockstar dreams he set out to conquer, but now that he's got it all, he's starting to realize he's feeling a bit empty. Seeing his first love on social media has him thinking and feeling nostalgic, and planning. His buddy's dog is just the ticket to getting Tara back in his life. She's a vet. He's got a dog. She will surely fall all over herself to take him up on the date he's going to propose. Right? Or wrong. Because Tara's life is the way she wants it, and the reasons they walked away from each other back then haven't changed - Axel's got a rockstar's temporary life and Tara has and wants the opposite - stability, the white picket fence, and a home in the Hamptons where her successful veterinary practice is. Can Axel convince Tara to take a chance on them again? Will he have to choose between his dream and his love?
Just One Wish is a sweet, low angst second chance rockstar story. Axel is a sweetheart who's got his work cut out for him to convince his first and only love to give him, them, a second chance. There are adorable furbabies, a strong emotional connection, and two lovable leads.
