Jared Cross doesn't understand why he has such back luck with romance. A tarot card reading reveals that Jared will never find what he seeks unless he opens his eyes to the truth. Jared begins to think that reading is a crock, but his trip to a local nightclub reveals the cards may have been more dead on than Jared would have liked. Will Jared miss an opportunity at love or decide to give love a chance regardless of where he finds it?

In Alex Marcus-Jacobs' What You Wish For: The Nine of Cups we meet Jared, a man who has always thought of himself as straight, and Nicol Romanenko, as man who recognizes what Jared is missing in his life and what will make him complete. Nicol is in the same boat as Jared in a way, because he too hopes to find love. The couple has a perfect balance of strength, determination, and desire. The proposition seemed to have taken over Jared's senses and frightened him a bit, but it made him look within at what has been missing from previous relationships. I found What You Wish For: The Nine of Cupsto be a wonderful, quick read and recommend it to those who enjoy male/male contemporary romance.
