Could Have Been Us

By: Corinne Michaels

Narrated by: Ava Erickson, Jason Clarke

New York Times best-selling author Corinne Michaels returns to the Willow Creek Valley Series in this stunning small-town, brother’s-best-friend romance.

Fifteen years ago, I fell for Jack O’Donnell. I was just a girl, but I knew my brother’s best friend was the only man I’d ever love. On my 18th birthday, when I asked him to kiss me, I never imagined it would change my life so completely.

I gave Jack everything that night. In order to move on, we had to go our separate ways and pretend like nothing happened...as though it wasn’t the greatest moment of my life. But even that wasn’t as heartbreaking as the secret we were forced to keep.

I’ve tried not to think about how much I still love him. How I long to be back in his strong arms or the way his hazel eyes make my heart race. Until he kisses me again. And this time there’s no turning back. This time I know what it means.

We belong together, and there’s no use denying it any longer. But our feelings aren’t the only thing that won’t stay buried. Our past resurfaces and threatens to destroy our second chance at happiness. When our love is tested once again, will we be strong enough to stand together?

Never Disappointed

Love, love, love Corinne! Loved Grayson and Jessica and absolutely loved this story. The real life and emotion she writes are so addictive and make the story richer. 10/10 I highly recommend.

great read

im always afraid of reading series, but these are not really cliff hangers. Just another heart stopping, tears crying romance

Romantic and Sexy❤️

Story is sexy.. and interesting. You just want to love Jack. Read "Return To Us" first. It will set up the dynamics and characters best. Great narrators - which make this book even more hot. Can't wait for Joshua's story in next release! Worth the credit.

Stella & Jack broke me!

Thank you, Corinne, for once again destroying me with another beautifully written, emotional masterpiece.

From page one all the way to the eplilogue, you took me on a journey of love, sacrifice, pain, joy, loyalty, family, friendship and more love... so much love.

I really didn't think you could top Return to Us, which gutted me so much I still can't do that book justice with my review! Your talent consistently amazes me.

I feel so connected to this series and I knew when I read this one Jack was going to give Greyson a run for his money.

Stella and Jack's first kiss: I honest to God swooned as I read it.

"His kiss is hard and full of want - I'm floating toward heaven."

"You taste like sin, and touching you makes me the devil, but I can't stop."

There are several chapters that brought me to tears and that's honestly what I love most about Corinne's books!

This series will stay with me forever. Like the Consolation Duet and the Hennington series, it will leave a mark on my heart and soul.

Jason & Ava wrecked me as Jack & Stella!

“I’m going to give you a future,” I vow.

“Forever.”

Jack and Stella have been friends for a long time and been in love since she was sixteen. After one night together their lives changed forever and they promise to keep their secrets buried and go their separate ways. Twelve years later when being around each other all the time becomes too much for them to resist, they finally give into temptation. When their past secrets become unburied, they will have to prove how strong their love is and stand together.

An extremely emotional ride from beginning to end that tissues are a must. Jack and Stella have had so much heartache and the pain that they have had to endure was unbelievable. I was completely invested in the story and had tears in my eyes for eighty percent of the book between ugly tears and happy tears. You could feel the chemistry between Jack and Stella vibrating off the pages and could tell that they were soulmates that just needed to finally get past their pain and heartache. I had an extreme book hangover after this one and recommend it to everyone. A TOP 2021 READ!
