Today I’m excited to participate in the Release Blitz of ‘Could Have Been Us’ by Corinne Michaels. This is a Contemporary Romance novel and the second book in the standalone series Willow Creek Valley.
I’ve been a Corinne Michaels fan for a while now. So when I got the opportunity to read the second book in the Willow Creek Valley series I got super excited. Especially since the story of Stella and Jack got me really excited after reading a little about them in the first book. So when this book arrived on my kindle, I dived right in.
Stella has loved her brothers best friend Jack for as long as she can remember. One night on Stella’s birthday they shared a kiss and Stella knew right away Jack was the one for her. Unfortunately Jack is determined to stay away from her ever since, even though they see each other regularly. But years of denying themselves love, is taking it’s toll. And Stella and Jack can’t seem to fight it any longer. But there are many secrets trying to find there way to the service.
This book definitely had a twist I didn’t see coming at all. It made for a very fun, interesting and touching read. From the moment I started reading, I couldn’t stop because I just really wanted to know how things would end up.
The chemistry between Stella and Jack is definitely the best part of this book if you ask me. I loved reading about these two. They have loved each other for so long, but never allowed themselves to go there. It made for some pretty sexy moments. Now they finally can’t deny there feelings anymore, there are lots of hurdles to get through. And it kept me sitting on the edge of my seat. And although I loved this book, it was not so much about the romance between Stella and Jack but more about their ‘secret’ I think. Not a bad thing, but definitely a little unexpected.
My favorite character was definitely Jack. I loved that guy so much. He was just so sweet and caring. And he really wanted to make sure Stella was happy. I did wish we got to read a little more about his character though. We now only read a little bit about his past, but I simple couldn’t get enough of Jack and wished we could have read more about him.
We also get to read a little about the other Parkerson siblings in this book, and I can’t wait to read their stories too.
