'Heart-searing, sensual, and life affirming' EMILY HENRY on Before I Let Go
Award-winning and bestselling powerhouse author Kennedy Ryan is back with a compelling new novel in her Skyland series, following Before I Let Go.
Soledad Barnes has her life all planned out. She plans everything. She designs everything. She fixes everything. But none of her varied talents can save her when catastrophe strikes, and the life she built with the man who was supposed to be her forever, goes poof in a cloud of betrayal and disillusion.
But there is no time to pout or sulk, or even grieve the life she lost. She's too busy keeping a roof over her daughters' heads and food on the table. And in the process of saving them all, Soledad rediscovers herself. From the ashes of a life burned to the ground, something bold and new can rise.
But then an unlikely man enters the picture - the forbidden one, the one she shouldn't want but can't seem to resist. She's lost it all before and refuses to repeat her mistakes. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself?
After all she's lost . . . and found . . . can she be brave enough to make room for what could be?
For fans of Tia Williams and Colleen Hoover comes a deeply moving and personal novel about sacrifice, self-reliance, and finding true happiness from 'one of the finest romance writers of our age' Entertainment Weekly

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ryan returns with a raw and moving second installment of the Skyland series (after Before I Let Go). Stay-at-home mom Soledad Barnes prides herself on caring for her husband, Edward, and their three daughters—but her well-ordered world turns upside down when Edward is arrested for embezzlement and, while he's in jail, Soledad learns of his infidelity. With her children depending on her, Soledad is determined not to fall apart. Instead, she must find a way to turn her life around with the help of supportive female friends and bell hooks's All About Love. Forensic accountant Judah Cross is the man who uncovered Edward's crimes, putting him and Soledad at odds. Nevertheless, the pair cannot deny the powerful attraction simmering between them. Kennedy makes the chemistry palpable and showcases the unexpected similarities between her worthy protagonists by emphasizing their mutual devotion to their families; Judah is a single father to autistic twin sons. Soledad and Judah's ensuing forbidden romance doubles as a journey of self-discovery for them both. Readers will be most gratified to see Soledad figure out how to turn her long-unpaid domestic labor into a lucrative business by selling her baked goods and starting a farm-to-table pop-up experience. This sexy and mature romance is another hit for Ryan.

Émouvant
Après Before I Let Go, j’avais hâte de lire de nouveau cette talentueuse autrice. Je n’ai pas été déçue dans la mesure où This could be us est une autre ode aux secondes chance qui explore les émotions les plus complexes de nos vies avec une rare intelligence. C’est également une belle sensibilisation à l’autisme. Je recommande et ai hâte de lire le livre sur Hendrix !
