Author Interview
Q: What makes the Wishful series special?
Wishful is a collection of southern romance novels honoring my Mississippi roots. When I started the series, I set out to highlight everything that I love about living in the small town South–all our quirks, foibles, and dreams provide a fabulous (and often funny) backdrop to contemporary romances about stubborn, independent women and the men who love them.
Q: Who would dig these books?
Wishful is a southern romance series written for anyone looking for love in a small town. If you loved Hart of Dixie and miss the residents of Bluebell, you just might fall in love with Wishful. It’s a town where everybody knows your name and hope springs eternal! My many of my readers also enjoy the books of Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Kristan Higgins, Melanie Shawn, Ava Miles, and Jill Shalvis.
Q: What order should I read the books in?
This southern romance series has been written so that each story is a standalone that wraps up with a happily ever after by The End. That said, if you want to read them in chronological order I suggest this:
* To Get Me To You (Cam and Norah)
* Be Careful, It’s My Heart (Brody and Tyler)
* Know Me Well (Liam and Riley)
* Just For This Moment (Myles and Piper)
* Wish I Might (Reed and Cecily), part of the Virtually Yours anthology
* Turn My World Around (Tucker and Corinne)
Q: Are there crossovers with other series?
YES! My Meet Cute Romance series of novelettes includes two Wishful stories.
* Once Upon A Coffee (predates To Get Me To You)
* Once Upon A Setup (the prequel to Just For This Moment)

Absolutely LOVED this book. Tucker is an absolute saint in my book and Corinne was doing everything she could to make up for the horrible person she had been. This book is totally inspirational! People could read this book and learn something….. being jerks can come back to haunt you!!! A beautiful standalone wonderful story!!!
I haven’t read any of the rest of this series, and I didn’t need to. There wasn’t copious catch up for the other characters, and the relationships were worked in organically. A good story about familial abuse, though Corinne seems to have gotten through a bit too easily for realism. A good read.
Good romantic read with real life situations to ponder.
Good clean romance book. Helps to restore faith in humanity and to know if you want something it’s ok to fight for it. The characters dealt with issues the way many would in the same situation. Good read
This was a slow sweet build up of a read. Highly recommend it.
I really enjoyed reading this book
I read anything & everything with Kait Nolan’s name on it.
Well written love-story of 2 people meant for each other. All while touching on tough issues of domestic violence and bullying.
Very good book w/varied topics
This author keeps the HEA’s fresh! Although I love HEA’s – you can overdose. This series proves that the there are enough different paths to the happy place to keep things interesting.
Love the Wishful series. Thank you Wait.
Great book -must read!
Anyone can change. A look at the events and people that influence character that gives us an opportunity to think about how we pre judge people and an opportunity to be open minded.
I have enjoyed reading other books by this author.
Loved it
I love all of her books.
Moved too slow, gave up on it after a few chapters.
Was happy to finally see Tucker get his own story.
The Wishful series have all been great stories. This book did not disappoint. Kait Nolan has become one of my favorite writers.
Lovely, touching, emotive story (I teared up quite a few times) with wonderful characters in a hometown setting. I really enjoy Kait’s writing style!
