Description:
“Heart-searing, sensual, and life affirming.” ―EMILY HENRY, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Soledad Barnes has her life all planned out. Because, of course, she does. She plans everything. She designs everything. She fixes everything. She’s a domestic goddess who’s never met a party she couldn’t host or a charge she couldn’t lead. The one with all the answers and the perfect vinaigrette for that summer salad. But none of her varied talents can save her when catastrophe strikes, and the life she built with the man who was supposed to be her forever, goes poof in a cloud of betrayal and disillusion.
But there is no time to pout or sulk, or even grieve the life she lost. She’s too busy keeping a roof over her daughters’ heads and food on the table. And in the process of saving them all, Soledad rediscovers herself. From the ashes of a life burned to the ground, something bold and new can rise.
But then an unlikely man enters the picture—the forbidden one, the one she shouldn’t want but can’t seem to resist. She’s lost it all before and refuses to repeat her mistakes. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself?
After all she’s lost . . .and found . . .can she be brave enough to make room for what could be?
For fans of Tia Williams and Colleen Hoover comes a deeply moving and personal novel about sacrifice, self-reliance, and finding true happiness from “one of the finest romance writers of our age.” ―Entertainment Weekly
Review:
I’ve seen comments that this book leans more towards women’s fiction than romance. I’m inclined to agree but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. This book filled my heart with warmth, and healed some of the parts still broken from Before I Let Go. This Could Be Us is Soledad’s story. She learns the truth about her horrible husband and is left to rebuild her life for herself and her daughters. Along the way, she discovers her strengths and what she had hidden about herself. Eventually she does fall in love with Judah and that is a beautiful story as well. He’s a delightful hero and allows Soledad the time to heal herself. But this story is really a love story about Soledad and it was refreshing and heart-lifting to read.
