Imagine that you were married to the love of your life and had a happy family. Now imagine everything was destroyed in an instant, making you question who you are and how you can possibly go on once the one person you truly love is gone.
It is a rare thing to find your soul mate, but Jess found true love in Dave when they were only teenagers. They’ve built a happy life together in a small shore town, becoming pillars of the community and making everyone around them envious of the perfect life they have built together. Their love is something that seems like it can only exist in a fairy tale. But what happens when the fairy tale is broken?

Jess has always been the life of the party, and Dave was always there to reel her in and keep her safe. But one night, while on duty as the town Sheriff, the unimaginable happens, altering the directions of their lives forever.
Jess is now forced to dig deep in her soul and find herself again. When love tries to chip away at her frozen over heart, she struggles to fight the guilt of moving on while keeping the memory of her perfect love alive.

This is a story about finding love, having it all taken away, and discovering that moving on doesn’t mean forgetting the past.

***This is the second book of the A Broken Fairy Tale series, but can also be read as a stand alone

S.P. Cervantes is the author of the acclaimed contemporary romance A BROKEN FAIRY TALE series. The series allows you to connect with a group of friends and their triumphs over tragedy. "Dust to Dust" is a suspenseful stand-alone romance that introduces readers to this close knit group of loyal friends. "Wished Away" is an emotional romance that should be read before the Bad-Boy romance, "His Jar of Hearts". The stand-alone highly acclaimed romance called "The Wife" is now available.

S.P. Cervantes's dystopian romance, AN IMPOSSIBLE WORLD, is a thrilling tale about love and survival.

S.P. is also the author of the highly rated Young Adult Romantic Fantasy trilogy Secrets of Shadow Hill. "Always and Forever", "The Prophecy", and "War of Wizards" that has been described as "Twilight Meets Harry Potter". It's not your typical romantic fantasy.

S.P Cervantes lives in Orange County, California with her husband and three children, where she is a teacher. She enjoys spending time with her family, writing, reading, and running, but is always thinking of an idea for her next novel.

Book 2 in the series- Jess and Dave were soul mates from the beginning the unthinkable happens.
I really enjoyed that this story is told in more than one point of view and LOVED Gage as well as Jess' daughter Still happy to see those secondary characters that support each other. Family is by blood and chosen through experiences. LOVED even though I cried a lot.

You know those books that gut you to the core and everything inside you breaks for the characters then to add insult to injury, the location which is used in said book is close to your heart...yup...that's this book and to be honest, it is the entire A Broken Fairy Tale series.

I could go into detail about why you should read this book, but honestly I wouldn't do the book or the author a bit of justice. So as a reader of entirely too many book and a chic who grew up around the Jersey Shore, do yourself a favor and read this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars can't believe I waited this long to read this!
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014

I got this book several weeks ago. And I just now read it. Who knew I had such a good one!? I love this story! Was curious as to how Dave was going to play out in this since he had passed on. But it was tastefully done. Gage is just awesome and ended up being perfect for Jess. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was bc I thought the break up scene between gage and Jess was kind of cheesy. Amateurish. The whole book is great but that just kind of fell flat for me. However, the proposal scene more than made up for it. That made gage so swoon worthy. This book is written very well. Only few grammatical issues but nothing distracting. The intimacy scenes aren't revealing so even those who don't like that kind of stuff can read freely. You know it takes place but there's no detail to get into. Don't miss this book. You will love it!

Dust to dust was a fantastic book and then I read this after had a hard time reading through all the crying I did. But to be able to find true love for the second time is awesome. I hope others enjoy these two books as much as I did.

This book made me laugh, cry, and want to hug someone. Never take life for granted, because you never know when it can change in an instant. This book will teach you about true love, sacrifice, and how strong the human spirit can be.

This series is a wonderful testament to second chances. This is book 2 and I highly recommend reading book 1 first, but this could be a stand alone. We are wisked into their world and truly feel the heartbreak and healing. I loved this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad.
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2014
This is the second installment in S.P. Cervantes's A Birken Fairy Tale series.
In Wished Away we get to find out more about Jessica and Dave. I am sorry to say that I couldn’t really connect with these characters. Don’t get me wrong. All of them are great but I guess I fell in love with Cam and Holden and now I keep comparing everyone else with them and they come short.

This story is a little bit different from the first one. Here, the lesson is “life goes on even if your heart is shattered”.

What Jess and Dave had was perfect. The perfect love, the perfect marriage, the perfect family. They never thought that something might happen that will make everything disappear.

So, when Dave is killed while trying to save a little girl, Jessica is left adrift. She doesn’t know how to function without him and their daughter is the only thing that keeps her going.

Gage has lost his beloved wife in a car accident and he’s still mourning her. The fact that he works in a hospital and has to deal with death every day doesn’t help.

One evening, he has to operate on his friend, Dave, and see Jessica fall apart when he doesn’t make it.

Then, Gage and Jessica meet again, and he has a goal.

When I started reading, for a little while I feared this will be one of those novels where the author skips through long periods of time without giving us any details on how the characters got where they are right now. This I find extremely annoying and it’s one of the few things that makes me give up on a book.

It sort of happens here also but the effect is not bad. This because, all through the book, we get to see glimpses of the past, so you won’t have any trouble understanding.

I really, really liked how she blended those glimpses from the past into the present. The transition is so smooth and makes following the story line extremely easy.

The writing style is not bad. Better than Dust to Dust.

While you can read Wished Away as a standalone, I recommend starting from the beginning otherwise you’ll have a hard time understanding who’s who and what’s what. There are quite a few characters and the author brings up a few situations from the previous novel that, if you haven’t read it, you’ll have no idea what she’s talking about. And it’s really worth it.

These are stories about friendship, love, loss, pain, hope. The bonds between the characters are really special and they show that true friendship is a precious gift and those who have it are really blessed because, sometimes, no one understands your pain and knows how to help you through it better than your best friend. I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you decide to give this series a try.

3.5 stars

Happy Reading!
