Three Wishes

Three Wishes/Rainbow Island #1

by Sean Michael

James, Guard, and Damien run an island where your fantasy, no matter how kinky, how perverse, will come true for you. It's a lot of work, but they're dedicated to making it work for their clients. If only they could make their own three-way relationship run as smoothly.

In Three Wishes, the men bring in three different couples for their special services. Handsome model Benji is tired of being perfect, and he wants to make his body his own. Thor, tattoo artist and piercer, as well as Dom, is just the man to do it. Will Benji find what he's looking for?

Meanwhile, Alan and Roman are a long-time sub/Dom couple looking to have a few outside Masters give Alan all the things that Roman can’t. Will their relationship survive Alan's strong reaction to one of the Masters?

The last couple to visit the island are Quinn and Pierce. Quinn has a medical fetishes he’s embarrassed to tell his lover Pierce about even though Pierce is a doctor. So he’s going to get it out of his system in this safe environment. At least that’s the plan...

Don't miss out on these fantasies come true.

About the author

Often referred to as "Space Cowboy" and "Gangsta of Love" while still striving for the moniker of "Maurice," Sean Michael spends his days surfing, smutting, organizing his immense gourd collection and fantasizing about one day retiring on a small secluded island peopled entirely by horseshoe crabs. While collecting vast amounts of vintage gay pulp novels and mood rings, Sean whiles away the hours between dropping the f-bomb and persuing the kama sutra by channeling the long lost spirit of John Wayne and singing along with the soundtrack to "Chicago."

A long-time writer of complicated haiku, currently Sean is attempting to learn the advanced arts of plate spinning and soap carving sex toys.

Barring any of that? He'll stick with writing his stories, thanks, and rubbing pretty bodies together to see if they spark.

Sometimes you just need a little Sean Michael in your life.

[Chris · Rating 4 out of 5]

Auf Rainbow Island kann man sich jede Phantasie erfüllen – vorausgesetzt, man bringt genügend Geld mit. Doch James, Guard, Damien und ihre Leute arbeiten hart, damit sich die erotischen Wünsche erfüllen und ihre Klienten nach einer Woche zufrieden die Insel wieder verlassen. Dabei haben auch Guard und Damien Wünsche. Sie wollen ihren Lover James zurück, der sich aber nun von ihnen distanziert hat und nach einem Unfall im Rollstuhl gelandet ist.

Das Modell Benji hat es satt perfekt zu sein. Schon lange ist er mit seinem Leben, seinem Job und seiner Karriere unzufrieden. Den Aufenthalt auf der Insel hat seine Agentin organisiert. Sie stand ihm sehr nahe, doch nach ihrem Tod gerät Benji immer mehr ins Straucheln. Auf Rainbow Island trifft er auf Thor. Einen Tattokünstler und Piercer. Für fünf Tage begibt sich Benji in die Hände des dominanten Mannes, der ihm die Perfektion nehmen soll. Doch Pierce tut noch viel mehr für Benji und gibt dessen Leben einen neuen Sinn.

Sub Alan und Dom Roman leben seit Jahren als Paar glücklich zusammen. Der Aufenthalt auf der Insel soll Alans Horizont erweitern und neue Dom’s sollen Alan neue Möglichkeiten aufzeigen. Doch hält die Beziehung dieses Experiment stand? Obwohl Roman die Begegnungen mit anderen Männern arrangiert und die Regeln festgelegt hat, muss er sich mit den unerwartet starken Reaktionen seinen Subs auseinandersetzen.

Auch Quinn und Pierce sind ein Paar. Doch erst auf der Insel begreifen sie, dass das Schicksal sie hier zusammengebracht hat. Quinn ist sehr unsicher und hat Geheimnisse vor seinem Lover, die nun natürlich schlagartig offengelegt werden. Doch vor lauter Scham hat Quinn sich nie geöffnet und Pierce seine geheimsten und schrägsten Kinks gestanden. Denn Pierce mag eigentlich ihre Vanilla-Beziehung und ist wie vor den Kopf geschlagen, als Quinn plötzlich solche Sehnsüchte äußert.

In allen drei Geschichten geht es natürlich um Sex. Um viel Sex. Und es geht auch um viele Kinks, mit denen der ‚Normalbürger‘ wohl eher nicht in Berührung kommt. Manches erscheint doch sehr schräg, anderes lehnt man gleich kategorisch ab. Doch die Natur des Menschen ist nicht so einfach gestrickt. Und neben all dem Sex und den Kinks, geht Sean Michael aber auch die Gefühle, Sehnsüchte und Wünsche ihrer Helden ein, die jetzt mit Sex nur am Rande etwas zu tun haben.

Es ist schon interessant zu lesen in welchen Situationen man sich unbehaglich, geborgen oder geliebt fühlen kann. Natürlich sind es nicht sehr realistische Geschichten. Zumindest wirken sie auf den ersten Blick nicht so. Aber es lohnt durchaus auch einen Blick hinter die Kulissen zu wagen und diesen Erzählungen eine Chance zu geben. Allerdings ist das keine Lektüre für Kinder und Jugendliche. Und man muss doch eine gewissen Aufgeschlossenheit mitbringen und mit viel Sex klar kommen.

Very well done, Mr. Michael. Lovely fantasies.

I love Sean Michael's writing style. He has a sorta manic quality to his work. And wow does he know how to bring the heat. Never a disappointment on those aspects. With that being said, this wasn't quite what I was expecting. I was expecting a sexy story about 3 guys trying to make their relationship work going to a beautiful desert island where they ran a resort. What it actually is certainly is different. This read almost like an anthology.


It was so many different stories all over the place from one theme to the next. Once you settled on one, it switches to another. One I think was left unfinished. But I didn't mind as much because it was my least fav one out of the bunch.


And then I like BDSM reads from time to time, it can be hot. But when it's heavily done everywhere in the story & when it's harder type BDSM like canning, or blood & knife play and then enemas, etc.. Just not my cup of tea as much. And sometimes the titles "master" or "sub" and "my boy" began to annoy me after a while. Too many convo banters that went like:
"Your my sub. My boy. Aren't you my boy?"
"Yes master. Anything to please you master. What does master want?"



I probably won't read the next 2nd book. I'm pretty sure it'll be more of the same. Different couples trying their fantasies out on the island.

[Anna · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'll round this one up to 4. It was really divided into 3 and a half stories. The half story being about the three men who run the island where for a large amount of money they can make a challenging fantasy a reality. I found their personal story very interesting and I'm guessing further books in this series will continue that. The other 3 stories involved the three "clients" who had come to have their fantasies fulfilled. All stories were m/m and all involved some level of BDSM.

The first story involved a model who was generically beautiful and depressed and wanted tattooing and some body modification and also a touch of non-con. This was actually my favorite story. Besides tattooing and piercing being sort of a "thing" of mine- I really liked the ways these characters connected. It was nice to see these people find each other and offer hope of a better future for both.

The second story involved a couple living in a full-time D/s relationship. The Master wanted to have his sub experience some other Doms who could do some specialized things that the Master could not. I liked the idea of this story a lot more than I liked the actual execution of it. This was my least favorite. I found their constant professions of love kind of repetitive.

The third story was good. It involved a person with a medical fetish and a doctor partner at home who he felt he couldn't tell about it. Thanks to some finagling by the owners of the island- the client and his doctor partner come together in a way that gives them both what they need, and makes everything about their real relationship better. This story was a good one too.

Overall, I liked this book and would read more in the series.

[Serena Yates · Rating 4 out of 5]

The idea of ‘Three Wishes’ is interesting. The beginning and the end of the book consist of the story about the men who run a fantasy island. In the middle there are three other stories – the ones about three wishes – of guest couples who come to the island to fulfill their wildest fantasies. From a kinky new relationship to an established Dom/sub relationship adding different elements to their play, and an established relationship discovering kink, this book has got it all. This concept worked well for me as I got to see a variety of couples who each had their secret or not so secret wishes fulfilled. In this first volume all three stories are somewhat kinky and there is lots of sex.

Some parts were OK but, if there hadn't been sex, there would probably have only been 5 pages of story throughout the book. After a while it tended to get repetitive and tedious. I would have been more interested to read about the 3 men who ran the island, to be honest, as long as there was storyline thrown in there among the sex scenes.

[Sunny · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hot... I really liked the first story, but the other two are worth a 2nd read as well. We'll get to read more about the resort owners in sequels, but I would also like to read more about Benji and Thor.

Fun read, kind of a fantasy island deal but Sean Michael style ;)
As always, really good characters - nicely woven throughout the three fantasies. Very creative and well done.

Got this for $0.99 so I figured "why not?". I'm intrigued, so here we go ...

[Tam · Rating 2 out of 5]

I only read this because I was curious about the medical kink (don't get it but I was curious) and I had hoped the whole incident with the trio running the place leading to one guy being in a wheelchair would be explained... but it wasn't.

Skim, skim, skim, skim. The language is the same in each one. "I'll hold you in my hand". Is fisting really all that and a bag of chips in the BDSM world? Seems like if you don't have your arm shoved up his butt to the elbow you just don't love him.

[Bob · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sean Michael is somewhat hit or miss for me. I liked the wrapping story and the first two fantasies better than the last, and the rating on the overall book possibly suffers for that. My biggest issue with him is the sex talk is almost always the same from book to book... truncated sentences and one word shouts that just don't strike me that much effort was put into it. I get that he's trying to show that the MCs are lost in the moment, but at least try to change it up.

How many times have all of us, whether only as kids or even still as grown ups, hoped there was a way to make our wishes come true? Dreamed of fame and fortune, health or wealth, or the most elusive gift of all, True Love? Many a poet have sung in their sonnets of that magic moment when your deepest desires take shape and form in front of your eyes.

Now imagine someone was in the business of making your most depraved, your most secret, your most intense and uninhibited fantasies come true. Wouldn't that be something? Don't rush to say yes... are you sure you would be able to withstand it? There is always a price to pay, and the fine print isn't anywhere on paper.

Welcome to the world of James, Guard and Damien, the dysfunctional triad that sets up fantasies for quite the fee. Their job is to make sure every detail of your wish is covered for, every hiccup predicted, every outcome planned. If only their relationship was so easy to bring back together though.

3 stories, 3 wishes were covered in this book. A super model who wants to get rid of his superficial superbness, a voyeuristic Dom who delights in watching His sub suffer for him, and a man with an intense medical fetish, who gets a surprising visit from an unexpected doctor. Each story had its sweet spots, each story hit a special nerve for me, each story made me smile and feel warm and welcome, even in the most extreme of details (which should have gone even deeper if you ask me - you can't talk about sounds and not deliver!)

The writing was a bit crude here though, nothing like the lyricism I used in my introduction. I raised a brow at the multiple appearances of the word "fuck" seemingly at random. Admittedly that is how the characters would think and talk were they put in these situations, but in written word, realism must bend the rules a bit.

Still, despite this occasional hiccup, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My deeply fetishist side, my most deprived medical kinks, my whole BDSM side thrilled and cringed in the most agonizing ways through the pages... now bring me part 2, boy!

"This is a great book....We see short bit about James,Guard and Damien and I know there's a sad story there...with how James got to be in a wheelchair...they run an island to cover mens fantasies....Fist up is Benji the model and Thor a dom/tattooist/piercer...They are perfect together and Thor gives Benji just what he needs..."The second story in the book is Master Roman and his sub Alan.....An established couple...Roman has booked five nights for his sub to be treated to his fantasies to please his Master....Inc knife play and flogging....Alan and Roman again were perfect together and Roman truly loves his sub.....The third one is Quinn who has a medical fetish and luckily his boyfriend Pierce is a Dr but he doesn't know it's his boyfriend who's been hired to give him his fantasy.......They were great together once the initial shock had worn off....Then we again get a small dose of James...Guard and Damien....I so want to know what happened to James and why he doesn't want to be with Guard and Damien...I've been told there will be a third book (second one being Three More Wishes) so that will be something to look forward to x

[Felicia (Ferishia) · Rating 3 out of 5]

The premise of this book is three partners, who used be menage trio, runs a 'Fantasy Island' type of resort for Doms and subs. Any fantasy the clients wish, they make it happen. There are four stories, but while the 2-4 stories end in hea, the first story is about the partners and their relationship. That story is the only one that is not resolved with a hea. But there is a second book so I guess I will have to read that one to find out how the partners story ends.

I'm tossing out a warning. If you are not that familiar with BDSM & D/s stories you may or may not be turned off because there is knife play, fisting and piercings in places that make me go "OUCH!".

Of all the stories, I loved the second story the most which is about a model and a tattoo/piercing artist. But the stories themselves are not about sex, it's about the level of love, trust and commitment that each of the couples have for each other. That is except for the unresolved story, which I have to read the next book to find out the ending.

I finished last night. I'm really not sure what to think about this book. It has a good concept/idea going...Couple and/or Singles can go to this Island and play out their fantasies.

This book feels like 4 (yup, I said 4) separate stories. We have the story of the men who run the Island and then the 3 couples/peoples fantasies that are to take place during the story.

You really don't have a whole lot of time to develop much of a feel for the characters, which is unfortunate. You get a lot of different kink Forced Body Modification/Tattoos & Piercings, Knife Play, & Medical Kink play. What bugs me the most is that the story I'd actually like to have had more of but didn't really touch on a whole lot, is about the men who run the Island. I know there is another book...I hope it's about these guys as the main mcs if not, I don't know if I'll read it!

I really enjoyed this book. Wonder if there is really a place like this? We got to see three couples and what their fantasies were. We also get to see Guard, James and Damien and parts of their dynamics. Each couple was fascinating I will have to say the couple with the medical kink was my favorite only because I think their “wish” was the one that was described the longest. One couple we only saw a few of the days, not all of them and I felt a little jipped. I can’t wait to read the next book, the teaser at the end of this book was so good!!!
Characters: well written
Sex: oh yeah!

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~

This is one hot read - in fact it is a bit like three hot reads and a mystery! Each of the men who is there to fulfil their fantasy gives us a kinky, sexy and yet meaningful adventure. Then we have the underlying trio, who set up the events, and yet are battling their own issues. Clearly there is a lot more to discover there, so I am looking forward to the next book.

Ms Michael has a lovely style of writing and he writes kink really well - for me he can skirt right to the edge of where I will go, but always gives the right emotional cues, so that I can enjoy it far more than I would have ever expected. If you enjoy this, I would highly recommend you try some of his other series - they are great too!

[Matthew · Rating 4 out of 5]

3 and a half stories in one. Lots of different kink. Very short stories, but well developed and intriguing enough that I'd like to read more of any of them. Three men who run an island resort together (and are a threesome), try to make their relationship work while making the dream relationships of others become a reality. In one, they are finding the right coupling. In another, they are reviving an aging relationship. In the third, they are introducing a new dimension to an established relationship. In each there is a strong emphasis on... dedication and monogamy, in its way. But its all a lot of fun and well written, no real errors.

[Ms. Nikki · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ahh! The way it ended was not cool at all, but I have to say the doctor segment was hot. I just realized how much this author uses the word "god" ALL the time. It's as bad as the overuse of "baby" in other reads. This read was very creative and hopefully the next one will have some results about James and his broken-ness.

[Leslie Nicoll · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pure Sean Michael -- lots of kinky sex accompanied by true love. If you are in the mood for that sort of thing, this was a fun read.

[Mandy (MP Book Reviews) · Rating 4 out of 5]

James, Guard and Damien bring in three different couples for their special fantasy-granting services. Handsome model Benji is tired of being perfect, and he wants to make his body his own. Thor, tattoo artist and piercer, as well as Dom, is just the man to do it. Will Benji find what he’s looking for? Alan and Roman are a long-time sub/Dom couple looking to have a few outside Masters give Alan all the things that Roman can’t. Will their relationship survive Alan’s strong reaction to one of the Masters? The last couple to visit the island are Quinn and Pierce. Quinn has medical fetishes he’s embarrassed to tell his lover Pierce about even though Pierce is a doctor. So he’s going to get it out of his system in this safe environment. At least that’s the plan.

I enjoyed these three stories as each couple explored their sexual fantasies in a safe place. Easy to read, feel and understand. These were MM stories with mature content and BDSM-like dynamics. There is also an underlying MMM story.

[Karen Dubois · Rating 4 out of 5]

I originally chose this book because I was a total sucker for the TV series Fantasy Island. And I knew that this would be nothing like that, I had some hopes. It was in essence three short stories, with the owners and operators of the Island threading through the stories. I really enjoyed the first fantasy with the tattoos and body piercings - turned into a sweet falling in love story. The second was a little more intense emotionally but needed to be developed more. The last was the one were I felt a little lost. It dealt with some fetishes that I don't think I really get. Sounds always make me feel a little odd - not being a guy, I really can't relate, but I can't imagine this done at all! Ultimately, I enjoyed the different scenes, but wanted more info about the core group.

[Sakuko · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was some decent porn, though with the fantasy theme and the teased kinks I expected something a bit heavier. It wasn't tame, but it was all very nice and loving, even the couple that did not know each other beforehand.
I was rather disappointed there wasn't more about the threesome that leads the island. I mostly read it because I love threesomes, not so much because of the fantasies in between, but there's just a bit at the beginning and at the end, and they aren't even together right now. There are a few hints about what broke them up and one of the guys trying to get everyone together again, but it feels kinda meh. Not sure if I'll invest in the rest of the trilogy.

[Caipi]

Ugh, what we don't do for a high SH score....
This was so totally not my book. Yes, the idea of living out fantasies on a desert island is a good one. It's also well written, there's nothing to complain about. But it's just not my thing, I didn't even enjoy reading about it.
And then they only talk about sounding but put it off until sometime later, not part of the story!! Can you believe it?! There went my high score!
So no official rating from me, that wouldn't be fair to the author and their book.
