A Granted Wish by Lily Michaels is a holiday novella packed full of steamy sexy times, sweet romance, and even a bit of unexpected mystery and a twist of delightful intrigue. This is one of those Christmas stories that’ll leave you cranking the holiday jams while simultaneously hunting down a partner for a little hubba, hubba hellllloooo. Or, ya know, just stepping under a nice cold shower. But I’d personally recommend skipping the latter unless the former is currently unavailable.
This was Lily Michaels’ debut and actually released in 2019. However, despite reading it then—and truthfully, even before that because, yes, full disclosure she is my bestie and I’m her alpha reader—I failed to get a review up in time for last year’s holiday season. So, as a special treat for y’all during this trying and chaotic 2020 holiday season… I give you this must-read gem.
Adam and Grant hold a very special place in my heart, primarily because this was the first MM story Ms. Michaels wrote and the first story I had the privilege of being her exclusive alpha reader for. It was such a joy and a wild, emotional, and smexy ride to get chapter-by-chapter updates in my inbox as she produced this wonderful story. Plus, she gives some tame but realistic Dom/sub rep that makes my lil’ Dominant heart go lub dub, lub dub, lub dub with the happiest of rhythms!
This is a workplace romance that dares to find the boss in a more submissive role while his subordinate—his assistant, to be exact—taking the Dominant position. It combats a lot of the cliche stereotypes in all the bestest of ways.
I would basically recommend this easy, breezy single-sitting novella read to anyone with a pulse. No, but seriously, if you love romance, love hot sex, and love the holidays, this is the story for you.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Adam and Grant their story was full of hot and steamy love making the chemistry was hot even though there was a Lot of ups and downs. This all happened and started at a Christmas party.

Oh my gosh… Where to even begin?? This book is incredibly well-written. The author has an AMAZING, rare, and desperately valuable talent for creating vibrant 3d characters with histories and relationships, quirks and tastes and kinks. Characters who are LIVING and BREATHING to me now. And she weaves in little traits as well as physical characteristics so seamlessly they’re shaped in your head and your heart before you’ve even realized it’s happened.
I’m not exaggerating – it’s SO GOOD. There’s a RARE day and a RARE book I can find that sprouts characters like these from the earth and implants them in my soul.
I kid you not I have yelled at my friends more than once while reading this novella that Adam is THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, and I can only let Grant have him because I LOVE HIM TOO ! They’re so WHOLE and sweet and LOVELY, and I love them so desperately much, and I don’t even know how Lily Michaels could work something so profound in my heart in such a short amount of time, but if I could live in this sweet Christmas story the rest of my life, I happily would.
With heart-swooping imagery, murderously adorable smirks and pet names, neck kisses, perfect little analogies, breathless, heart-stopping love, unexpected twists, and the most Christmassy feels I’ve ever gotten from a book, A Granted Wish is my own little masterpiece. My own little slice of the season that’s going to keep me warm all month, and that I’m a million percent going to read again and again every year (if I can wait that long).
If it isn’t obvious already, I CANNOT recommend this book to you MORE. There’s so much in here I can’t EVEN squeal about because you have to read it yourself and go breathless yourself and melt yourself and realize for yourself what an amazing little story this is. Get it. It’s worth every freaking penny.
