Could Have Been Us by Corinne Michaels

5.0

LOVE LOVE this book!! The glimpses of Stella in the book, “Return To Us” made me so excited to read her own romance story. Then there is also Jack who we met as well in that book, who is best friends with Stella’s brother, Greyson. Although this is a standalone, I highly recommend reading that book first to get a background into these Parkerson siblings!

The story of Stella and Jack’s romance captivated me from the start as it opens up with them handing over their baby for adoption and why they can’t keep her. Only their parents and her grandmother know about her. Then it jumps to 12 years later. They aren’t together now as Jack tells himself she’s off limits because of the past but Stella admits she’s still in love with Jack and wishes he’d just love her back. This is a beautifully written story involving the topic of adoption. There are many twists and turns around this plot as Stella and Jack have to face their adoption in the present now. develop their romance again. Of course, Jack’s sweetness will make your heart flutter and Stella’s banter with everyone will make you smile and love her!l
