#Review: *I Could Be Yours* - Helena Hunting - ARC/ALC [18+]
4.7/5✨
3/5🌶️
So grateful that I was able to read and listen to this lovely book🥰. I love these narrators and had the best time while I listened to it🤭. Many thanks to Helena and team for accepting me for these early copies🤗.
Essie and Nate were currently in a loathing relationship, after something he did when they were younger. That hurt was still affecting Essie, not making the best decisions when it came about men. But against all that, both had to be part of their friends celebration, because Rix and Tristan were getting married and they were part of the organizational team.
Serendipity made them share more time together than Essie and Nate wanted to because, can you believe it or not, their plans coincided and that meant that they would be at the same place and same period. All the time they spent together made them open their eyes and see how attracted to one another they were, even if the animosity was still very present. The constant tension threw these two in each others arms and had a funny secret romance. But could they get pass over their uncertainties and unsolved issues to explore what they had beyond those days? Nate had really strong feelings against love, because of some events from his life.
It was so much fun to follow these two sides of this story: the wedding celebration and the secret romance. On the outside everything was all joy and happiness but things weren't that pretty. Why? Because Nate was hiding so many feelings which were deeply hurting him and he tried his best to keep his siblings away from all the bad things. Essie succeeded in taming these dark thoughts of Nate and even melted his frozen heart. Even though this was a more sensitive side, the wedding celebration brought to life the joy and good vibes, especially because these events took place on a very beautiful scenery, a luxurious beach. I was super invested in the banter of Nate and Essie, being super fun and I liked the secrecy of their relationship.
I just loved the vibes of this book, being a perfect read for the summer days. It was a complex story, but it still had those good vibes of a comfy summer read. I liked that the characters had been built really well and that there wasn't any unnecessary drama. I truly recommend it, if you wanna read a summer vibes book, mixed with some fun from the wedding side and a lots of banter.
