Synopsis
“I was always told never to wish on the first star at night. If everyone wishes on one star, how will the star keep up? A star with too many wishes will just fall out of the sky. Rain drops are plentiful, and there are thousands. They wash away the filth and carry it to a better place. So when you make a wish, wish on the water and let it carry your problems away.”
Candice-Leigh Carson, a New York City best-selling author, was engaged to one of NYPD's finest. She was living the dream until she lost her fiancé, quit her job and moved, leaving behind the only family she ever knew. She left her best friend Jaxson, without saying goodbye. In her quest to find herself, would she ever find love again?
Jaxson Monroe, one of NYPD's finest, lost his partner when an undercover job went south. After spending a night with his partner's lover, Candice, she flees into the night. He loved Candice and had promised his partner he would protect her. It was his fault she ran, but he quickly found himself in the arms of another. Would Jaxson ever convince Candice to come home or did he prefer another woman? Would their love survive his betrayal and her abandonment?
Excerpt
“Wake up Candice.” I heard Jax say, but I didn’t want to open my eyes.
“Come on stubborn ass.” Jax chuckled and my lips turned up with a smile. My face hurt with my smile as it went against how I felt.
“You are the stubborn ass.” I stated with a hint of laughter as I crept my eyes open to be met with the gray eyes of Jax.
“Whatever, I am the rubber and you are the glue,” Jax stated as he helped me out of the truck.
“Are we five years old again?” I asked as I caught a glimpse of childishness in his face.
“Yes, Candice we are five years old, and there is nothing in the world that is holding us back, making us sad, or stopping us from living our lives.”
I turned and looked behind the truck at the park across that sat across from the lighthouse at the edge of the river where it met the ocean. This was where I had met Chase and Jax. The two ornery boys had caught my attention the minute my mother had let me out to play.

Review by: Jennifer
(4 STARS)
This is my first read from Elizabeth York, and I can tell you it will not be my last!
The love of Candy's life is now dead, and she now has to pick up the pieces and figure out how to go on. With her best friends, Jax and Christina, at her side she will figure this out. Until one night changes all that. I will give you no more, no spoiler, no nothing!!
I will tell you, that I immediately told my girl Melanie, she has to read this, like NOW!
This story had me by the nails, I wanted to know how does it end. Does Candy figure out what direction she wants to choose? I for one love a romance with some mystery on the side, I felt this was a good read. The ending....well lets just say that is why I had to take off a star. I give this 4 stars. I can't wait for the next in this series.

As she said in her review, Jennifer told me I needed to read this one and...
WOW.
This is my first read of Elizabeth York, and just wow. I FLOVED it. Elizabeth has a great way of writing. It kept me turning page after page. Quite a few twists in here; some I guessed, but some I had no clue about until they happened.
But reading Wishing on the Water, I laughed, I definitely cried, I was shocked and I was extremely annoyed at the ending. A damn Cliffhanger! How could you end it like that Elizabeth?! I want more, and I want it now! I NEED to know what happens next. LOL.
Great book.
