A laugh out loud, own your heart kind of good time. Hunting sets the senses ablaze with humor and energy that dares to bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart. Nate and Essie walk a fine line between lighthearted and tempestuous. I Could Be Yours pushes all the right buttons.

Such a sweet (and spicy) story. Helena is a master of pulling you into the relationship so you feel it right along with the characters. Loved Essie’s story. 

Side note: I’ve adored this series and the Toronto Terror series, but the overuse of “creative” names drives me absolutely bonkers. I just wish 90% of the characters didn’t have off the wall names.

I don't know why I finished this because I didn't particularly care for the characters or the storyline. I also found the characterization of Essie's love all things pink and femme as a love of fairy tales as weird and false. There's nothing wrong with her love of all things pink and girly and femme, her apartment actually sounded dreamy, but reading fairy tales beyond a first grade level reveals them to be dark warnings.
