The idea of ‘Three Wishes’ is interesting. The beginning and the end of the book consist of the story about the men who run a fantasy island. In the middle there are three other stories – the ones about three wishes – of guest couples who come to the island to fulfill their wildest fantasies. From a kinky new relationship to an established Dom/sub relationship adding different elements to their play, and an established relationship discovering kink, this book has got it all. This concept worked well for me as I got to see a variety of couples who each had their secret or not so secret wishes fulfilled. In this first volume all three stories are somewhat kinky and there is lots of sex.

The ‘framework relationship’ between James, Guard, and Damien holds lots of mystery and a deep back story. These guys have a past together which put James in a wheelchair and left the other two feeling guilty. There aren’t too many details and much remains unresolved in this book, but there is a sequel on the coming soon list, so I’ll be reading that next. These three guys intrigued me and they are so emotionally broken that my heart ached for them.

The first guest couple is Benji and Thor and they are really cute. Benji wants body modifications (tattoos and piercings), but he is too afraid to just go and have them done. So he sets himself up to have someone else ‘force’ him to do them – and discovers all kinds of interesting kinks about himself in the process. Thor understands this perfectly, and I loved the way he went about showing Benji how much fun – and how sexy - it can be to get his body decorated.

In the second guest story, Alan is a sub who wants to be perfect for his Master and lover Roman. There are things Roman can’t do well enough, so he brings in other Masters to do them for him. When one of the fantasy scenes they have come to experience doesn’t go as expected, Alan loses it. It was interesting to read about the recovery process and how Alan handles it. This learning experience and pushing limits in a different way was a nice surprise.

The final couple, Quinn and Pierce, have an epiphany when they each discover a new side to the other. It was fascinating to see how they adapted to learning unexpected things and how they’d hidden a side of themselves that could have helped them become closer. Even though the medical fetish they indulge in will not be for everyone, the psychology and story around it was interesting enough to keep my attention.

If you like to explore different kinds of D/s relationships and some of the more unusual kinks, this is a good book to give you a flavor of some of them. I loved the variety and look forward to the next volume!
