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? 

An ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! I love rock stars so of course I signed up to review this book, but Wishful Thinking is so much more than the normal rocker romance. This is an extremely emotional, heart-wrenching novel and I can guarantee you will absolutely fall in love with the characters.

Lexie is a nurse on the pediatric oncology floor of the hospital. She is well known for giving her patients one last wish, whatever that might be. Kaleb is a famous rock star who has secrets of his own. When Lexie bursts into his world she rocks him to the core. Can Lexie convince Kaleb to grant one little child’s wish? And can Lexie save Kaleb?

This is a must read for all romance fans! Amazing novel by Ms. Duran and I’ll be on the lookout for what she comes out with next.

“Lexie?”

“Yeah, buddy?”

He sucks in a deep breath before saying, “Do you think there are stars in heaven?”

“Of course there are. There is anything your little heart desires.”

“Even my hot fudge sundaes?” His question causes me to lightly laugh. Of course he asks about his favorite dessert that he has been craving for the past month.

“Even your hot fudge sundaes,” I reply. “Before you know it, you’ll be having a stomach ache from eating too much sugar.”

This causes his mother to whimper as she struggles against surrendering to the breaking point. She’s always fought to not break down in front of Braden. She doesn’t want him to see how upset this entire situation makes her.

He brightens from the response, his eyes returning to the show above us. The entire time my view is locked on the little angel in front of me, knowing everything I’ve done tonight to make this possible is still not enough for him. He deserves more. He deserves a lifetime worth of years to gaze up at the stars, not borrowed hours as we wait, wondering when the end will come.

Unfortunately, the wait wasn’t long. Braden took his last breath two days later. I was at his side, holding his mother’s hand when he gave his last smile before closing his eyes for the final time. He took a piece of my heart with him at that very moment, but they all have.
