From the bestselling author of Before I Let Go, an empowering and sizzling novel about two single parents navigating the balance between sacrifice and their own happiness—perfect for readers of Tia Williams and Colleen Hoover. “Heart-searing, sensual, and life affirming.” ―Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author Soledad Barnes has her life all planned out. Because, of course, she does. She plans everything. She designs everything. She fixes everything. She’s a domestic goddess who's never met a party she couldn't host or a charge she couldn't lead. The one with all the answers and the perfect vinaigrette for that summer salad. 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? "One of the finest romance writers of our age.” ― Entertainment Weekly "A gorgeously grown-up romance and a story about self-love and reinvention ... a great novel for readers who appreciate multilayered romantic fiction with elements of domestic drama, scandal, and inspiration." ―NPR Glamour : Best Books for Book Clubs Review: Beautiful story - A Beautiful Story of Healing, Love, and Knowing Your Worth This Could Be Us was absolutely amazing. Kennedy Ryan has done it again. Soledad’s story was heartbreaking and emotional from beginning to end. There were moments that genuinely made me want to cry. Watching everything she endured, especially the way her husband Edward treated her, was incredibly frustrating. He was selfish, manipulative, and completely took her love and loyalty for granted. Then came Judah Cross. I loved every moment of their journey together. Judah showed Soledad what it truly means to be respected, valued, and loved. He saw her for who she was and never tried to rush her healing. Even though he wanted to be with her, he honored her boundaries, gave her the time she needed, and allowed their relationship to develop naturally. That patience and respect made me love his character even more. Kennedy Ryan has a beautiful way of writing characters that feel real. You don’t just read their stories—you experience their pain, growth, hope, and healing right alongside them. This book was emotional, inspiring, and beautifully written. I couldn’t put it down, and I can’t wait to continue the Skyland series. Review: An emotionally rich and empowering journey of self-love, motherhood, and second chances... - This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan is more than a romance — it’s a masterfully told story of resilience, rediscovery, and redemption. As someone who hasn’t read a romance novel in a while, this book reminded me why I fell in love with the genre to begin with. Kennedy Ryan creates characters that feel so real, you root for them like family. Soledad’s journey as a stay-at-home mother was beautifully depicted. Her role in holding her family together, often without recognition or appreciation, reflects the real labor that so many women experience. Kennedy does an incredible job showing how motherhood is work — emotional, physical, and spiritual. Soledad sacrifices her own dreams to support her husband’s career, only to be betrayed in the most devastating ways: emotional neglect, infidelity, financial scandal, and ultimately abandonment. Yet, through all the loss, this is a story about becoming. Enter Judah Cross — a father, co-parent, and deeply intentional man who contrasts everything Soledad’s husband failed to be. His slow, supportive love is gentle but unwavering. He doesn’t try to save Soledad; he simply sees her. Their connection unfolds with a tension that feels honest, patient, and deeply earned. It’s the kind of romance that builds trust instead of burning fast and fading. By the end, Soledad reclaims her voice — not just through love, but through purpose. Watching her rise as a creative entrepreneur and finally prioritize herself was so rewarding. The friendship she shares with Yasmen and Hendrix (whose story is next!) adds even more richness and makes you want to stay in the Skyland universe forever. Kennedy Ryan writes with warmth, complexity, and intention. She brings emotional intelligence to the page in a way few authors do. This Could Be Us is tender, real, and unforgettable. I’m officially a fan. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,875 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #34 in Black & African American Romance Fiction #53 in Women's Divorce Fiction #106 in Women's Friendship Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 13,723 Reviews | ## Images ![This Could Be Us (Skyland, 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NXIT8Cg8L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful story *by S***T on July 11, 2026* A Beautiful Story of Healing, Love, and Knowing Your Worth This Could Be Us was absolutely amazing.

One of my favorite parts was the connection between Judah and Soledad. Their chemistry felt genuine, and I appreciated the patience, respect, and passion they shared as their relationship developed. What stood out to me most, though, was Soledad’s journey of self discovery. Her story wasn’t just about finding love with someone else, it was about realizing that loving yourself is just as important. She came to understand that you can’t pour into everyone around you while continuously neglecting your own needs, and I thought that message was beautifully woven throughout the book. The story balanced romance with personal growth in a way that felt meaningful. While there were a few moments that moved a bit slower than I would have liked, the emotional payoff made it worth it. Overall, it’s a heartfelt story about healing, second chances, and learning that the healthiest relationships begin with valuing yourself first. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys romance with emotional depth and strong character development. ## Frequently Bought Together - This Could Be Us - Can't Get Enough - Before I Let Go --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/539593838-this-could-be-us-skyland-2](https://www.desertcart.no/products/539593838-this-could-be-us-skyland-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
