It's always been her dream to attend Tulane University and she's worked hard for the last two years, saving up money and taking all of the classes that she can at the local community college so she doesn’t fall behind.

With one look, Arlo knows that she’s the one for him. The night Arlo meets Briar, he sees a shooting star and he makes a wish. Now, he just has to make it come true.

*Warning! This book alpha is over-the-top, head over heels in love with his girl. If you're looking for a steamy insta-love story then this book is for you!

This was a fantastic mix of some of my favorite things- safe and sweet and dual virgins. My only complaint was lack of steam and I do like my heroes to be more alpha. However, Arlo and briar were a great couple

-no cheating
-no angst
-no ow/om drama
-not a lot of steam
-no violence
-great epilogues

Please let Briar love me too.

Well...that was just wonderful. No angst, no OM/OW drama, no abuse/cheating, dual virgins..it was delightful. I usually like my H's alpha/possessive but having one that's inexperienced and vulnerable, like yummy Arlo leaves me happy too. We technically don't get epilogues but we do see them 18 months after meeting, then 2 years later, then 9 years after that. I get so excited when I know release date is near on one of this authors books. I know it will be one I can automatically grab without having to read details. Ok...NEXT please, Ms Hart. Keep these babies coming...thank you, that is all.

Not bad but it wasn't all that memorable. This is really short and sweet though, as well as low angst, and only mentions former bullying.

It was mostly a narrating story ..barely showed us a thing on page🙈😅 all to nice ...like not any trouble in this plot at all.
Also it was like they were 14...and not 21/23. When all it's perfect and nice unfortunately it's boring 😴

fast, fun and cute!

This was a very sweet novella of young love. I loved that even tho the hero was shy, he was devoted to the heroine and determined to be a strong man she can depend upon. He was rock solid, even if he wasn’t very alpha. (I can’t lie, I love alpha heroes who swoop and snag the h, but this was a cute change of pace!)

Both virgins, both smitten at first sight, no ow/om drama, no abuse or cheating of any kind, HEA with epilogues years out

Good, safe, sweet story. Unfortunately a couple of continuity errors and spelling/grammar edits detracted from the sweet story. For instance the MMC thinks oh here’s my first kiss but they literally had their first kiss a couple chapters ago (I literally went back to check incase I was crazy - I was not).

Arlo & Briar

Really nice sweet heart read from Shaw Hart. It was different from the usual insta love books that I have read and I really liked that it wasn't OTT, not that I don't like a good OTT, I do but this was super sweet for a change.

Sweet

His Wish by Shaw Hart is a super sweet, insta-love novella. Arlo is a computer geek who never thought he would find love. Then he spots Briar and he makes his wish. This book proves that wishes do come true. Loved it!

Cute Story

It was a cute and safe story. A little slow since both characters are shy. Skipped a chapter since nothing exciting happens.

Excellent Insta-love story

Arlo has never been in love until he sees "her" in the campus coffee shop. Briar is the "new" girl at Tulane University, a transfer student trying to find her way. After a chance bug infestation in her apartment, Arlo helps Briar out and thus their love blooms. Both are innocent and shy about love. However, together they learn about lasting love.

Shaw Hart has delivered a great insta-love story. Briar and Arlo are an amazing couple and their story is so sweet and very steamy at the same time. Shaw Hart's writing is very well done and her story development is spot on. Though it was a short read, the story did not feel rushed at all. Five huge flames for "His Wish". 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable.
Emerson has had a crush on Denver for a year. She lives for the moments she sees and gets to spend time with him. Denver has wanted Emerson since he met her. Spending time with her put him in the friend zone. With only a year left before he has to change military base, he is determined to make Emerson his.
The chemistry between Emerson and Denver is clear to see and I liked them as a couple and as friends. They made a cute couple.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read.

A diamond in the sky

This was a super double virgin book that really gets down to how hard it is when two people who are attracted to one another but are shy and inexperience there is a process to getting together even though there is instant love, there isn't instant sex. If you love a good romantic story, that doesn't have dirty talking, bossy alpha but does have a gentle beautiful man looking for someone who cares about him and not just his looks than this is the book for you.

His Wish

His Wish was amazing. It might just be my new favorite Shaw Hart book. Instalove in the best possible way. Astronomy and a wish on a falling star lead to a happily ever after.
