This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan
Series : Skyland #2
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?
Before I Let Go was one of my 2022 faves so I've been eagerly waiting
for Soledad's story and it definitely didn't disappoint! Kennedy Ryan
has always been talented at writing such emotional and beautiful
stories with amazing characters and this one had all of that and
more!
Soledad has spent a major part of her life managing everything at home
and taking care of the needs of her husband and three daughters. But
after a series of events upends her life, she has to work hard to keep
things afloat while making sure her daughters have everything that
they need. And Soledad doesn't let anything defeat her! She uses all
of her skills to turn things around and at the same time rediscovers
herself.
Soledad was so resilient and amazing! She had so much love to give to
everyone in her life, but she's never been passive either, and when
someone crosses her limits she knows what she must do. I just loved
the way she dealt with her ex husband and how honest she was with her
kids! She's so generous and caring, and she shines bright in this one!
Another thing that I loved was the amazing friendship between her,
Yasmin and Hendrix. They have each other's backs through thick and
thin - and they supported her when she was down while helping her
figure out things independently too. Soledad also has an amazing
relationship with her sisters!
And don't get me started on Judah Cross! This man was perfection. He's
a wonderful father and an incredible human being. He has two twin boys
with autism and I loved his relationship with them!🥹 He genuinely
cares for Soledad while giving her the space that she needs to be
independent. And the way he observes everything about her and cares
about the smallest details!❣️
Honestly I can't wait for everyone to read this book and fall in love
with these characters too!(and if you haven't read this author's books
yet, what are you waiting for?!) ❣️✨
