Love how romance and love always wins. Even when you feel like shaking the characters and telling them that they are being silly, you still end up rooting for them to succeed. Kait Nolan has a way of drawing you into the stories from the first word.
This is the third collection of Kait Nolan’s Wishful romance series. This volume contains books 7, 8 and 9. If you’ve already purchased the books individually, there isn’t anything new here. However, if you don’t have these books already, this is a terrific collection of really lovely small town romances. Nolan’s Wishful books are full of wonderful characters that you want to spend more time with. It’s really lovely to be able to roll right from one book straight into the next one. The three books in this collection are: Dance Me a Dream, See You Again, and The Christmas Fountain. Dance Me a Dream features Tara and Jace. She gave up her dreams of dancing to raise her younger siblings. Jace is a grad student working on his family’s Christmas tree farm. This is a sweet romance, full of Christmas charm. See You Again is the story of Sandra (Mayor of Wishful), who we have met before, and Gerald (Trey), another character we have met before. This is a second chance love story, and I really loved that the two main characters weren’t twenty somethings, finding “true love” for the first time. Sandra and Trey are older, and rediscovering their love from so many years ago. Finally, The Christmas Fountain features Mary Alice, who we met previously as the woman jilted in another Nolan book. Mary Alice gets a chance at her own happy ending with Chad, new to town. All three of these are quick reads, and as always, it’s a great return to Wishful. I recommend this collection if you’re a fan of Wishful and it’s characters.

I loved reading all the Wishful stories so far and these 3 are no exception. The stories are well written with plenty of romance, intrigue and spark. They have interesting and well developed characters that are captivating and loveable. If you like small town romance with a feel good touch, I recommend this series. I want to move to Wishful.
Only Kait Nolan can capture the essence of a small town southern environment and put it in a story that transports you such that you become a neighbor and family member to the characters. I will read every book she writes and impatiently await the next. This series has had me crying, laughing and wanting to just sit and join in the conversations. There is an authenticity that cannot be denied. As a small town southern girl, I could have easily lived these stories. Each book has brought joy to my life.

Dance Me a Dream
Tara is my hero – I absolutely loved everything about this strong young woman who is trying to do the right thing even if it exhausts her. Jace was a great guy and absolutely captivated by this very skittish gal that he doesn’t recognize. These two had a great story of learning to trust each other and how to look ahead to a future not just day-to-day.
See You Again
This story surprised me. I enjoyed seeing Sandra as the lead in a story and I was surprised by the connection to Trey. Their story tied a lot of loose ends together for the series and did so effortlessly. The story flowed nicely and I really enjoyed getting to know these characters on their own – not just as the parent/mayor and boss.
The Christmas Fountain
Mary Alice and Chad were amazing. Mary Alice doesn’t have a great previous love – even though she thought she did. If Chad wants to make any headway with her – and he quickly realizes he does – he has a lot of legwork to do as she is not very trusting. These two have quite the journey before they can accept what is between them and it’s a great read! I loved that Mary Alice got her own hero after all.
For me, the sign of a good book is the disappointment when you get to the last page. I always want more. I always want to know what happens next. So I am always ready for the next book to be released. I was lucky this time, I was chosen to receive an ARC copy to read and review. I finally realized at the end of this volume that I no longer want to know what’s next, I want to move to Wishful.
I want to get my coffee at the Daily Grind and have lunch at Dinner Belles. I want to walk down Main Street waving to all the people I met on these pages. I would love to throw a quarter into the Fountain and make a wish.
Kait Nolan makes this place come alive in her books. Her characters become real to us and we become invested in their lives. I enjoyed all three of these books but my favorite, because I am an older woman had to “See You Again”. I love stories about second chances and true love finding its way but I especially enjoy the ones that feature older folks because we still want those things too!
Kait Nolan has become one of my favorite authors. She creates her characters and the town with such richness and depth that you can’t help but feel as if you are there with them.
Yes, I want to live in a place like Wishful. I wish there was a town like Wishful.
Keep writing Kait Nolan. I need to know what happens next.
All three of these books are worthy of 5 stars. Be sure to read them. “Dance Me A Dream” “See You Again” and “The Christmas Fountain”

It seems I just can never get enough of ‘The Misfits’! I’m never disappointed when reading any of Kait Nolan’s works. I love the family connections, the true emotions & the heart felt relationships. I always feel as if I know these people, that I may just run into one of them at the grocery, out to dinner or even at the gas station. How anyone is able to weave such a believable story line, from the first Wishful book, to every one that follows, is just such a blessing. I’m not going to give anything away here. Read for yourself. Then start at the beginning, & read them all!!! Kudos Miss Kait!

Wishes really do come through
by Shrtip
These three stories all take place in the town of Wishful. They are books seven through nine. Come fall in love with all the people in this small town. All three stories tell of making wishes in the fountain that had almost dried up years ago. I highly recommend this series of books.

I loved all three books in the volume. The author takes us to the small town of Wishful, MS and I, as a reader, would truly love to live in this fictional town and meet all the characters. These books are each entertaining, full of romance and fun. I highly recommend you read stories by Kait Nolan if you haven’t already.

Nolan brings readers back to Wishful, MS for small town romance. Readers will delight in the characters and small town setting of these three novels. Sweet with heat is the best way to describe these contemporary romances.
I highly recommend this book to fans of the small town contemporary romance genre.
ARC for honest review with no compensation received from BookSprout 4.5 stars
Wishful Romance is Volume 3 by Kait Nolan while each book is a standalone they are interconnected from the prior books. Seeing old friends and meeting new ones is such fun! Interesting characters at different stages in their lives make for a sweet romance and getting back to Wishful and if you haven’t read any of the prior books you will want to get them! Love his series!!
Dance Me A Dream – Jace is on holiday from grad school and when he meets Tara, all he can think of is making her smile. Tara has been the guardian for her two younger half siblings for the past year and a half and is completely in awe of Jace’s generosity. Can Jace grant two of Tara’s wishes and win her heart? This book completely pulled at my heart strings and I loved every second I spent reading this book! It’s sweet, full of Christmas magic, and I loved the everything about this book! Jace is amazing, thoughtful, and a really great influence on Tara and her siblings! He cares about them and I love that right from the very beginning, he could see through Tara’s sadness. Tara is so strong and selfless, and I loved that when she made her first wish, she felt guilty. I can’t use any other word to describe this romance than to say it was sweet and so thoughtful and my heart feels so full!
See You Again – Sandra was about to give everything up for Trey thirty years ago, but life got in the way. Now her son is about to get married and she’s come face to face with the man who haunts her dreams. Sandra and Trey are given a second chance at romance and a future together, but will Trey be able to win a place in her life? Oh man, this story is emotional and sweet and oh so wonderful. Second chance romances are always thrilling to read, and Sandra and Trey definitely needed their second chance. Sandra is integrated in her town, a single mom, but has never given romance a try after her disastrous divorce. Trey is in a similar stage of life. They both needed to reconcile their past and accept their future, but there are definitely some hiccups along the way to make it more difficult. I also loved seeing Cam’s wedding! This book was so good!
The Christmas Fountain – Mary Alice and Chad meet when she brings her friend to his ER. Feeling a connection and attraction, they start to spend more time together, helping with her Christmas foundation. But is Mary Alice willing to open her heart again to romance, or will one strike against Chad ruin their chance at love? Oh my goodness, I loved this romance and I did not want to stop reading once I started. I loved Mary Alice and Chad, and I loved having Mary Alice’s romance finally! Chad is completely perfect for her, as he wants to put her first, is willing to move around his work schedule, and wants to have a future with her. Mary Alice just has a few hang ups about her ex that she needs to face and work through, but she’s looking for the future, she’s looking for someone who wants her. I love the foundation that helps bring them together, too! This was such a sweet romance, and a great way to end this collection!
Never have I ever wanted to move to a town but Kait Nolan and the Wishful series have me hooked!!! This set is amazing and will take you on a ride…there is no better place than Wishful!!! Read this read the series, get and stay hooked on this beautiful town and its wonderful residents!!
Wishful Romance volume 3 is packed full of romance and fun. I love how Kait builds all of her books off of each other. You get a small glimpse of a person in one story.. just enough to make you say “hmm. I wonder what that person is about.” Then Kait brings that character to life in her next story. This set of books is about young love, rekindled love, and love after heartbreak. Once again, another job well done by author Kait Nolan.

This combination of stories shows the best of Wishful – a story of young love, a second-chance romance, and a happy ending for two who had a bad experience each with their first taste of love. The combination showcases Kait Nolan’s talent for a well-crafted story that reaches your heart.

This is a fantastic collection of three of the books from the wishful Series. Each is a complete standalone story, but as is true of all of these books they are best read in order. Favorite characters from previous books appear.as well as references to previous events.

All 3 books in this set were wonderful and such fun to read. The couples in each book were at different stages of their lives, which really made me evaluate other series books I’ve read by other authors. Many times, they are so similar to each other, that their plots and names blur together.
Not so with these stories. In Dance Me A Dream, Tara is a 21 year old young woman, who has put her dreams on hold to raise her younger brother and sister. That alone makes her a heroine in my eyes! When grad student Jace comes back home for holiday break, he’s just as smitten by her as he is by her siblings.
See You Again is a second chance romance, with a couple who haven’t seen each other in almost 30 years! Sandra and Trey’s story is my favorite, partly because I’m of that same age as the characters…which can be a demographic that is overlooked by both authors and readers alike. These two strong willed people need to bend and compromise after being alone for so long.
The Christmas Fountain could be thought of as a second chance romance…in that the heroine, Mary Alice, is getting a a second chance at love…but not with the same man! While she’s handled the breakup of a long term relationship graciously, who wouldn’t root for her to find her happily ever after with handsome and attentive Dr Chad.
I also like the little cameos from the townspeople of Wishful in each book…but not the same in each story! This is one of my favorite series, I think it could be yours, too. There’s something, and someone, for everyone in Wishful!

I really do want to live in Wishful. These boxed sets are great as you get a chance to stay a while and meet more of the wonderful characters that live in this town. Kait Nolan’s characters are all people I want to be friends with. Each story is standalone but just like chocolate chip cookies, one is never enough!
This volume has a mix of new love, second chance love and love after heartbreak. Each story is unique and has the ability to tug on the heartstrings as well as make you laugh out loud.
