I Could Be Yours
by Helena Hunting
Release date: July 10, 2025
The best man ghosted me six years ago after kissing me, and now I have to plan every wedding event under the sun with him.
Nate Stiles is the definition of serious. Furrowed brow? Check. Rain cloud personality? Double check.
I shouldn’t be thinking about the fact that our kiss was the best one of my life right now. I should be planning the bachelorette party of the millennium.
I shouldn’t be wondering when Nate became such a good dancer after we got roped into salsa lessons with the happy couple. I should be mentally ticking off boxes on my bridal checklists.
I shouldn’t be wondering what it would be like if I didn’t hate Nate Stiles. I should be holding strong against a man who doesn’t believe in love.
My name is Essie Lovelock. I am a reformed love obsessed fairytale fanatic and I’m determined to be the best maid of honor my best friend could ever have.
And I am absolutely not going to fall for the best man.

Review:
Absolutely loved!
Nathan and Essie’s story was everything I hoped it’d be. A grumpy/sunshine, second chance romance where they start out as antagonists but have to spend the summer in close proximity doing wedding stuff (when he doesn’t even believe in love and she’s practically an OTT Disney princess fan with a bedroom populated with pink heart pillows) and everyone is hockey adjacent? Yes, please!
If you’ve read Nate’s older brother’s book ( If You Hate Me ) you’ll be somewhat familiar with the Essie/Nate antagonism going in, and you’ll love watching all the behind-the-scenes wedding details for Tristan and Rix’s big day. All of the other Terror couples we’ve seen in the other series books are here too, and the MCs from Chase Lovett Wants Me as well–technically, you could read it as a standalone, but you’d miss out on a lot of inside jokes and information. Do yourself a favor and read them all 😉
I listened to the audio version, which was top notch. I’m really loving the dual POV audiobooks that are read duet style–such a fun touch!
Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A
