Kei has had enough of wizards and magic interfering with his life. A terrible accident in his childhood left his parents' memories ruined: they no longer remember him. In the years since, Kei has lived a normal life as a firefighter, keeping his relationships distant so he can't be hurt again.

But magic destroys and injures. On the run from his mistakes, Orion will do anything to escape his past—even isolate himself in a magical snow globe. When a desperate situation arises and Orion uses his magic to alter the walls of his snow globe, he accidentally opens a pathway to the outside world. Orion can't risk anyone entering... but he can't risk using his magic again, either.

Orion isn't prepared for the firefighter who falls into his snow globe. Kei is a balm to Orion's loneliness, and despite Kei's distrust of wizards, he begins to see the real person behind Orion's flirting—a brave man who protects those he loves. Unable to help himself, Kei falls in love... until he discovers that Orion's secrets may have everything to do with his own difficult past.

.
Slow-burn! Friends-to-lovers! The Wizard's Desire is a 100,000-word steamy, standalone gay romance novel. Domestic. Includes monster trees, whistling wood, magic theory, and a headstrong goat named Billy. Also includes some angst. HFN. No cliffhangers.

Review

5/5 stars: "A complex journey full of surprises, misunderstandings and compromises. [...] There was a lot of character development, changing, and growing, [...] and you just want them to find a way to make it work, because they seem made for each other." - Vanessa Kings, from Dream, Read, Love (1/25/2017)

Hello! Thank you for wondering about me. I’m a funny, dick-loving goofball with a surprisingly tolerant husband, and an ever-growing menagerie of stuffed animals and edible balls (in the garden). When I’m not busy writing (which is very rare), I can be found wrangling pests in the garden, or drawing copious amounts of peens!

I’ve been scribbling since I was fourteen, and I believe that everyone needs a safe place. My dorky guys fall in love, make mistakes, and sometimes they fumble a little before finding their way back into each other’s arms. :D

This is probably my favorite work from this author!!! Kei and Orion have such a beautiful dynamic between them, which is perfectly captured in the domestic bliss as they live together, both working to free Kei from the snow globe. And their characters are very well set up... Kei is trained as a firefighter, which makes the ending very believable. And Orion has his own backstory that perfectly complements Kei's character development. And of course--the best part of the novel is the goat Billy! Cutest pet eeeverrr <3 Very well written and super satisfying ending. Can't wait to read more from this author!

4.0 out of 5 stars fabulous read!
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2016
was gifted my copy of this book direct from the author.

OH!!! You know how, you start to read a book, and you see it going one way, and then totally goes another??

This one!!

I've no idea where I saw it going, to be totally honest, but I'm left feeling that it went off in another direction, and I need to say that. Brain is somewhat addled at the moment, but I will try to make sense!

Kei is not happy. The old woman in the flat upstairs has another leak and it's ruining his apartment. A neighbour gives him a snow globe from their holiday. When Kei touches the globe, he is pulled into Orion's world, where he has lived for the past decade or so. Orion did not mean to pull Kei in, but now he is here, they can make the most of it, right??

I love different, you know I do and this one is a prime example of that difference. I mean, a snow globe?? Cute, really really cute.

Both Kei and Orion have their say, and one or two others. It wasn't until Orion and Kei finally talked about Kei's dislike of wizards (because at that point it had been downgraded from hatred!) that I got the full picture too, and I love being made to wait for it. I love not seeing what's coming at me, as much as I love seeing it all laid out, right from the start. Because while some things I did not see, some I did.

I did, at points, get a little.....lost....in the trees, especially when said trees were somewhat active, but that might just be me and my addled brain.

All in all, a really great read. It leaves me wanting to read more by this author, AND more of Kei and Orion. I hope they appear in other books. I loved them together.

Thank you, to Ms Wineheart, for my copy, I really did enjoy this book.

OH! It does not seem the 346pages billed on Amazon. Which is a very good thing!

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016
This is the first book I have read by Anna Wineheart and she didn’t disappointment me. What a clever idea to write a story around two men trapped in a snow globe! Who would have thought there could be so much action and danger to live in what appears to be a quiet peaceful sphere.

At least it was for Orion, the wizard who ran away from all the terrible damage he had done to so many people with his magic. The thing is the damages weren’t his fault as he didn’t do it to hurt people but to help. His magic always went astray causing more damage the more he tried to fix it. The last spell he did to help someone went so terrible wrong that he ran away and had a witch confine him to the snow globe to keep people safe from him.

Kei had had his own experiences with witches and wizards that destroyed his parent’s memories of him at a very young age and hated either one that crossed his path. Kei was a fireman by trade and loved his job. He was a lucky man when it came to fire and was less likely to be injured then his fellow comrades. His fire matched the anger inside of him.

The witch in the apartment overhead created an annoyance with her constant water dripping from above that Kei had pots and buckets scattered throughout his place to keep it from damaging the things in his apartment. Kei had many a fights with the hag and fumed at the witch to stop putting water all over her floors because it leaked into his apartment. She paid him no heed.

Kei’s neighbors had a teenage boy, Sam that helped him with emptying his pots and buckets and feed his lizard when Kei was at the fire station over night for many days. It was also Sam who gave Kei the snow globe as a gift when he came back from vacation with his parents from Italy. Kei accepted the globe not knowing what he would do with it but thanked him none the less.

It was after he received the globe that Kei fell into the snow globe and ended up trapped. When Kei meets the handsome wizard, Orion that lived inside the globe, Kei’s anger and mistrust is lit aflame. So starts the like/hate relationship between the two.

Orion is outright flirtatious with Kei and doesn’t mind telling the man what he wants and sex was the further thing from Kei’s mind at that moment and least of all with a wizard who he has sworn off. But the trials and tribulations that the two go through together and had to rely upon the each other brought them closer.

Anna Wineheart weaves a timid and frail relationship into one that grows into love and acceptance using humor to pave the way. Where there was wariness and mistrust grew into trust. Where hate was on Kei’s part, love grows. Where frail emotions and lack of self-esteem and caring for himself on Orion’s part he began a very slow process of accepting Kei’s belief in himself.

I can’t begin to tell you how much I loved this story. There were so many messages throughout about learning to trust other people and acceptance of oneself. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of the book.

The premise of this is fantastic - I'm never going to look at snowglobes the same way again! Also, geez, it's a good thing this book has a firefighter in it because it damn near smoulders. If you like M/M romance with modern fantasy elements, you're going to enjoy this. Anna is a great writer, and I'm so happy to read her books :D
