Quinn and Carson have been best friends since second grade, inseparable but not romantic in any sense. Sure, he was getting more handsome every year, but he was her best friend. Off-limits. Taboo. Quinn refused to even consider him in any other role.During their college years, they made a silly drunken pact to get married if they were both single when they turned thirty. Then they drifted apart.… they drifted apart.
Every failed relationship in her life has reminded Quinn of how special a man her best friend truly is, and how all other men fall short.
Now years later, goal-oriented Carson makes a surprise visit for Thanksgiving dinner with a newly made fortune and one thing left to accomplish.
Can both people get the lucky side of the wishbone?
Wishboned is part of Second Helpings, a group of eleven short stories released by acclaimed romance authors. Each book is a second-chance romance that takes place during Thanksgiving. All guaranteed sweeter than sweet potato pie and dirtier than a sink full of dishes!

Carson and Quinn have been best friends since they were kids and even made a pact that if they weren’t married by 30 they would marry each other. Their lives went in different directions but now Carson is back in town and they are spending Thanksgiving together.
Carson has never forgotten Quinn so when he gets the Wishbone from the turkey he knows what he is wishing for but is Quinn wishing for the same thing?
Short and steamy this is a friends to lovers story that doesn’t disappoint. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Oh my! Who New a short story could be so much?! Carson & Quinn are best friends since childhood. The love has been there but they were too scared to go to the next step & possibly ruin their friendship. Now they’re adults & Thanksgiving dinner offers them a chance for more. Hot & romantic. So much so I had to read their story three times! And each time was happier than the last.
Second Helpings are collaborations of short stories by different authors sharing a Thanksgiving theme & second chances. I’ve read the other collaborations by this and the other authors and loved them (The Cocktail Girls, Halloween Honeys). These individual short stories are quick reads. Their brevity doesn’t lack romance, steam or that ‘Awww’ feeling when your heart melts.
Who ever thought you would meet your forever girl when you were in the second grade! Carson and Quinn have been friends since they were kids. Now they are all grown up and still just friends.
Carson is back in town for Thanksgiving. He’s earned his career success and now it’s time to come back home and get the girl. Quinn has been his best friend for over twenty years. He’s done waiting for more than just friendship.
A wish on the wishbone gives him the perfect opportunity to get Quinn exactly where he’s always wanted her. Carson is ready to let her know that friendship is not all he wants from her. And maybe Quinn feels a little more than friendship too.
This a quick and steamy friends-to-lovers story of finally finding their Happily Ever After!
This is such a sweet quick read. Carson and Quinn are adorable. There wasn’t a single moment that I didn’t love them. I do recommend this book.
Carson and Quinn we’re amazing! You meet some of the most important people in your lives early on.

I am thoroughly surprised by the author and the lovely story she created. It was funny, hot and so sweet all at the same time. It certainly leftme wanting to read more of her work. Five big fat stars to Wishboned.

The made a pack that if they weren’t married by 30, they’d marry each other! Dad drops the bomb that he saw Carson at Safeway, and invited him to dinner. All hotness breaks out after the family goes out! A very quick, hot read! Who needs pie!
A very well written short story with nice storyline and plot. Likeable characters that are well described and develops nicely through the story. I liked this very well written short but captivating and heartwarm story. It is written so you can almost share the feelings of the main characters.
They have friends since second grade but never been more than that. Now they meet again and their fate has its own will.
Absolutely great chemistry and passion. As always when it comes to Alexis Adaire she has delivered a story that is enjoyable and engaging to read.
