James, Guard, and Damien are back, still running their resort, where
every fantasy, no matter how perverse, may come true. The three men continue
working out the bumps in their threesome, but when it comes to their
clients, they’re a well-oiled machine. Which works perfectly for the three
new couples arriving in paradise.
Cameron is losing his sight, and he knows that he'll be useless once it goes
completely. He's cashed in everything to leave his life behind for one last
fling. Xander is on the island for a fantasy, too. He's looking for someone
to love on, someone to care for and Cameron seems to be the perfect match,
but can they make it work?
As a writer, Ben always writes the script, which is why his fantasy is to
give up control. He thinks his fantasy can’t be fulfilled, so he settles in
for a relaxing vacation on an island paradise instead. Is he really as safe
as he thinks he is?
Finally, Leo is a consummate Top, always wanting better his technique. He
wants to know what it's like to be a sub, but it won’t be easy for a
Dominant to bottom for five days. Leo will do his dead level best to measure
up; his only worry is who the boys chose to be his fantasy Top…
Review
Jane Davitt, author of Wintergreen, writes: 'Three More Wishes' returns
the reader to the island Sean Michael introduced in 'Three Wishes' and once
again, we're treated to three couples exploring their fantasies in the
perfect setting. The clients aren't the only people on the island though and
the story of the three owners, whose lives can't be fixed or changed for the
better by their surroundings, is as compelling as the fantasies.
We learn a little more about James' trauma and I was left hoping that in
keeping with the theme of three, this series will be a trilogy, because I
really want James, Damien, and Guard to get their own happy ending.
What I find fascinating about the set-up is that although the five-day stay
on the island is expensive, there's more going on than spending some money.
The men who use the island have often reached the end of their road, as with
the first couple, with Cameron about to go blind and contemplating suicide,
or, like Ben, the author who wants to be kidnapped and forced to submit,
they've decided to stop denying a part of themselves. There's an emotional
cost here, a leap of faith, an act of courage, and I love the respect shown
to the clients by the staff and the three men who run the business.
The third story was an intriguing set-up with the sub a Dom, intent on
discovering what it's like to submit to better be able to work with his
subs. Leo's mix of confidence and uncertainty made him vulnerable and what
we see of him through the eyes of the man hired to dominate him gives the
reader a better sense of what he's like.
I found myself engrossed in each developing relationship, as angry as Xander
about the heartless treatment Cameron received from his ex, as eager as Tip
to make sure that Ben gets what he wants, even if it means changing things
up.
And, like many readers, I'm sure, I found myself planning out what my
fantasy would be if I ever got to the island...

"Leave me alone."
"Never."
James sobbed, sweated, twisting as he tried to run.
He heard his name, someone shouting for him, and a loud banging. "James!
James!"
"Leave me alone. Please. Help me! Somebody! He's got me down here!" And he
didn't know where down here was.
The banging continued, got louder, as did the shouting. Then it all went
quiet and he was shaking, something was shaking him.
"Don't. Don't. Please. Guard! Damien..."
The dream exploded in a pop and his eyes flew open. "Oh, my God."
Guard was right there, hands hard around his arms, shaking him. "James!"
"I. Sorry. Bad dream. Sorry. What are you doing here?" Oh, God.
"Are you kidding me? You've been screaming for the last fifteen minutes."
Guard pulled him close, wrapping strong arms around him.
"I'm sorry."
Guard. His Guard.
"It's okay. It's okay, babe." Guard kissed the top of his head. "You're
safe, you're all right."
"I didn't mean to." He shouldn't have gone to sleep.
"Shh. Shh. I have you." Guard was warm, his chest bare, some crazy-colored
flannel sleep pants soft against him.
"You can't stay here." But the touches were easing him, gentling him, and he
was fading away.
"Shh..." Guard laid him back down, still holding him, touching him like he
was the most precious thing.
"I'm sorry." His cheek landed on Guard's shoulder.
"It's okay, Jamie, I've got you. You're safe now."
"Never going to be safe again."
"I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Guard could growl when he
wanted to.
James eyes closed. "I'm tired."
"Then sleep. Let me guard your dreams, okay?"
"Okay. Just tonight."
Just one night.
