I Could Be Yours by Helena Hunting

5.0

 Nate and Essie’s story blew me away. I just adored their dynamics. From the hilarious banter, to the sass, spice, and found family, this story is full of all the things I love to read in a rom-com. I was blessed to get an advance copy of the audiobook, and it is so good. Teddy Hamilton voices Nate Stiles, and Savannah Peachwood is our Essie Lovelock in this duet style narration. I am a huge fan of both of them, and together they make this audio immensely bingeable. They’re great at bringing the heat and the heart to life, and maintaining the vulnerability and growth of these characters with their performances. 

I Could Be Yours is a fantastic summer read. It’s fun, sexy, emotional, laugh out loud funny, and a great entry point to the world and work of Helena Hunting. As a long time fan of her work, I’ve read through the “Helenaverse” from the Pucked series to the Terror and Tilton U, and this book brings together so many threads from all over. Love the vibes from Kodiak and Lavender? Meet their parents in the Pucked Series, and read their story in the Lies, Hearts & Truth Series. Can’t get enough of Flip’s constant heckling of Nate and find yourself dying to know why everyone is constantly joking about cucumbers? Dive into the Toronto Terror Series. It’s always fun to catch the easter eggs in a book, but the beauty here is that Helena wrote this story so that you could read it and love it as a complete standalone. 

Thank you to Helena Hunting and her team for the ARC/ALC opportunity to review!
