About this listen
Winner of the 2018 Audiobook Reviewer Award for Romance
One wedding, two best men, one hell of a love story!
Declan Ramsay's brother Oliver was marrying Annabelle Aiken at a fairytale castle on the banks of Loch Ness in Scotland. The bride and groom decided that Annabelle's gay younger brother would share the best man duties with Declan. Declan had never met the kid who was to be his joint best man. Sam Aiken was abroad, working as an interpreter and finishing his studies. He wouldn't meet Declan until a few days before the wedding, so the best men communicated and planned their speech by email for more than a year.
But on meeting Sam Aiken, Declan is surprised to realize the kid isn't a kid at all, but a tall, blond, and athletic young man. Declan is sure he's straight, so he's alarmed by the ferocious attraction he feels for Sam. And as the attraction is reciprocated, the events at Dunloch Castle change everything Declan has ever believed about himself.
But, is Samuel Aiken all that he appears to be?

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Kade has seven days left to live...unless I do something about it. I am one of the best assassins around, after all. But...I’m not sure I exactly care what happens to Kade. He’s rude, only cares about himself and his casino, and did I mention he doesn’t know a single thing about video games? Okay, okay. Maybe that’s not enough of a reason to watch him dash headlong into danger while I kick back and enjoy the show.

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

Excellent Mixture of Romance, Mystery, & Mayhem
- By Olivia on 05-02-17
By: Kristen Ashley
Story – When I started listening to this audiobook I thought that I was getting a cutesy romance between two men who meet at a wedding. To be fair it is partially that. Declan and Sam started a friendship through emails while helping to plan their sibling’ marriage to each other. When they meet for the very first time, they don’t know each other by looks and things kind of get off on the wrong foot. Declan’s bad day makes him less than kind to the shaggy-haired stranger. It is a lesson that you should treat people nicely because you never know if you will meet again or what the circumstances might be. Sam is easy going and doesn’t let the bad attitude get to him. The two men are as different as night and day. Declan is high strung and Sam is relaxed.
I have to say from the beginning I liked Sam better than Declan because he is just more likable. He is also smart, and adventurous. Declan does grow on me as he figures out his sexuality and learns to ease up, in the arms of Sam. Their romance is sweet as the two characters both love the movie, The Princess Bride. The title of the book hints at it, but the story is full of references to the movie as Declan and Sam talk to each other in movie quotes.I really fell in love with the two of them together. But once the wedding is over they have to go back to their old lives, and though both hope to see each other again, there is a major twist that takes the story to a whole new level. My interest was piqued. I went online after listening to immediately get the second audio, knowing I needed to see where the story will go from the end of this book. Needless to say, I definitely recommend this story, especially the audio version.
Sweet story with a surprising twist.

What made the experience of listening to As You Wish the most enjoyable?
The combination of the story and narration. It's an entertaining, engaging and enjoyable story. The story pulled me in from the start and held my attention until the end. Even though it's a shorter book it didn't feel like it. The story flowed smoothly and the relationship between Sam and Declan didn't feel rushed.What did you like best about this story?
Even though there is a little mystery and suspense woven into the mix it's also fun story with a couple of interesting twists. Everyone wants a Happy Ever After no matter who you are. What better place to fall in love than at a fairy-tale castle. The relationship between Declan and Sam is fun, sweet and humorous and definitely steamy at times. They also endure a little heartache and angst before they get their HEA.First impressions are hard to get over sometimes. Even if you've "known" the person for quite some time through chats and emails. Your not really strangers, yet you are. It was fun how Declan and Sam met in person the first time.
Loved that the story doesn't end in a cliffhanger. It is left open for future books in the series but you are not left hanging where Declan and Sam are concerned. Now that the connection between Declan and Sam is established it will be interesting to see where the series goes from here. I'm looking forward to continuing with the series.
Which character – as performed by Gary Furlong – was your favorite?
All of them...Declan the most I would say. Gary furlong did a really good job with the narration. Nice voice easy to listen to for long periods of time. Clearly spoken with a nice even pace. Loved the slight English accent. It fit the story and characters perfectly. Really good character voices. You could always tell which character was speaking. He brought the characters, their emotions and story to life. Very enjoyableAny additional comments?

what happens when a straight man meets a drop dead hunk he has been Emailing back and forth for a year about their siblings wedding? Well at first things don't go well. Declan is straight, and loves a good romp with women, and Sam is a drop dead sexy gay man. the attraction starts to fly, and before you know it, they need each other in that special way.
Very good tasteful sex scenes, and a very well written story line.
this is a great start to a new series. I will add that this is book one. Thankfully this does not end in a cliff hanger, but Isobel, has completely opened up a great story line for the next book! Well done.
Gary Furlong did one hell of a job in this book! He had a very sexy voice, and read well.
