Wish You Were Mine by Judy Corry: Book Review

The Book

Kissing a handsome stranger in a hot tub? Bold.

Finding out that stranger is your professor? Mortifying.

And your dad’s the university president? Just perfect.

Lucy Archibald is in her final semester at Eden Falls University, balancing the pressure of being a D1 gymnast with the even heavier weight of her high-society family’s expectations. She’s the good girl. The polished one. The girl who never breaks the rules.

Until one snowy night at a party in the Hamptons… when she kisses a gorgeous stranger in a hot tub.

She figured it would be a one-time thing. Just fun. No consequences.

Then she walks into her chemistry class the next week and sees him standing at the front of the room.

Professor Owen Park knows better than to get involved with a student. He’s a first-year professor, currently applying for research grants with hopes of landing a promotion. The last thing he needs is a scandal. But Lucy, with her sharp mind, easy smile, and way-too-flirty glances from the back row, is making it nearly impossible to forget the forbidden kiss they shared.

They’re both trying to play it cool. But when a new threat pulls them closer, the tension between them heats up fast, and staying away starts to feel less like the smart choice and more like the one thing they can’t do.

WISH YOU WERE MINE is perfect for fans of flirty banter, forbidden slow burns, and dangerously hot chemistry. This swoony college romance will keep you hooked with every stolen glance, secret touch, and the one question that could change everything: is love worth the fallout?

Book Review

At this point, I am fully convinced that Judy Corry could write absolutely anything and make me fall in love with it. Because honestly? While I'm always up for giving any trope a chance, there are a few I'm a little more wary of... and professor/student? Yeah, that's pretty high up on that list. And yet, once again, Judy has taken a least favorite trope... and made it a new favorite read. Of the moment. Of the year. Of Judy's (surpassing Say You Remember Me, which I honestly wasn't even sure was possible). Simply put, I'm completely obsessed. This one kept me up all night, wanting to see how it was all going to play out... and I have absolutely zero regrets over the sleep lost. Right from their very first interactions-before they knew he was her chemistry professor, the chemistry between these two was flying off the pages... but that emotional connection when they opened up and were vulnerable with each other? Oh my goodness. It was such a beautifully tender connection, and I absolutely loved everything about it. I couldn't get enough of these two. I simultaneously couldn't wait to get to the end to see how everything was going to work out... and never wanted it to end. If you love forbidden romance with all the emotional depth, this is one not to be missed. (And even if you don't, this one might just change your mind!)

Wish You Were Mine is a closed-door romance with fade to black. It does have a steamier buildup (descriptive make outs, wandering hands, his shirt coming off, etc.) but it does fade to black before anything beyond kisses happens on page. (The fade to black is within a marriage.) Still, this one is definitely more PG-13 than some closed-door readers might prefer though. It does also have minimal minor language. Please note, this story does have mentions of some difficult topics that could be triggering for some readers, to include . This is the third book in Kings of Eden Falls series, and while previous characters do make appearances (from this and Judy's other series), it could absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone as well. That said, the series is great, and I'd highly recommend them all.
