Mine

By: Georgia Beers

Narrated by: Natalie Duke

Three years after Courtney McAllister loses her partner in a car accident, she's finally trying to move forward. She's even dated half-heartedly over the past year, but no one is able to penetrate her emotional barricades until she meets aggressive real estate broker Rachel Hart.

Despite Rachel's cool facade, Courtney is drawn to her - when she isn't furious with her. Still, despite an undeniable attraction, Courtney has given her heart once and doesn't have room for that kind of love in her life again. Rachel isn't looking for love, especially not with a woman who belongs to someone else, and taking second place has never been her strong suit.

Mixed Opinion

I had a hard time enjoying this book due to the narration... The constant swallowing sounds and the overall lack of feeling behind it left me wishing I had read the book myself. I would recommend not getting the audio version and perhaps it will be a more enjoyable story.

another winner

loved it. another enjoyable book by Georgia Beers. loved the storyline and the characters.

Another Love

This is my second Georgia Beers and I loved it as well. I enjoyed the story of loss and new romance.

I hope Georgia reads this, I would love for her to revisit this relationship between Rachel and Courtney and add some drama with Courtney's neighbor that was hitting on her and watching her from his house. Could be the makings of a stalking/kidnapping/murder mystery that could start as Courtney and Rachel marry... I don't know, just spitballing here.

Regardless Mine was a wonderful listen, I have a couple more Beers books in the library ready to go.

Good story

Having lost my wife less than 2 years ago, I related to the emotions and thoughts in this book. It was still light enough that I was able to enjoy it.

I loved this book.

I loved Mine. I had already read it. But the Audio is great. Great story w/ Courtney and Rachael. Great job on the narration by Natalie Duke. Thanks to Audible for getting Georgia Beers into your collection.

Good story

Themes of loss and healing.
A few problems with the recording. Someone in production should have a listen and re-edit to fix them.
Otherwise good narration. Comfortable listen. Easy to fall into the world of the story.

Listen before reading the reviews

This book is well worth the read. Losing a loved one who happens to be your life partner is never easy, whether expected or not. The emotions are raw, volatile and incredibly mixed all the time and change at a drop of the hat. Does it make a person self-centred, selfish and less lovable later - I don't think so. I think with the right person, who understands grief is a living monster and there is no single way to move through the loss, the guilt, doubt, memories; that the demons can be slowly silenced opening up a way forward. I think Georgia Beers has captured this emotion and part of the process well in this book. This book is not a fluffy rom-com, but one for giving pause to think - what would you do differently if it was you? And perhaps be that bit kinder to the people around you who are fighting unseen battles.

Any additional comments?

The plot starts off sad but I like how it is different from most romance stories.

not a fan of the narrator

not a fan of the narrator. I’m going to need to read the book, because I just couldn’t get into the story with this narrator

Giving your heart never is easy

I loved this story so much. Courtney and Rachel help each other deal with some difficult transitions in life. A chance connection selling her house opens Courtney to the inner strength to move on. Rachel is drawn to her like no one she has ever met. Together they piece life in all its parts with love enough to grow. Natalie Duke gave such a beautiful reading bringing all the characters to life. Love this listen!!
