Publisher's summary

Her town’s lack of men may make headlines, but it isn’t news to Dakota Hendrix. The beautiful blonde has bigger problems to deal with, such as overseeing the romance reality competition filming in Fool’s Gold. Screening eligible bachelors is a difficult enough task, but Dakota hits an unexpected snag when a sexy stranger comes to town.

Finn Anderssen will do anything to keep his twin brothers — the perfect contestants — off the show. Despite Dakota’s better judgment, she finds herself drawn to the mysterious outsider. Like her, Finn knows about heartbreak and how a family can fall apart, so she doesn’t dare to hope for anything more than a fling. After all, even in the Land of Happy Endings, finding true love is never as easy as it looks on TV.

A continuation of a good story

I could wait to read the story of The ever studious Dakota. It happened like I thought it would but it was great hearing The story anyway.

Great Narrotor, Great Story

First I'll start with a disclaimer: I have not listened to the previous three books in this series. That said, from what I can tell, you don't need to. I really don't think I missed any crucial points. It actually seemed like an individual novel.

I have greatly enjoyed other Susan Mallery books and other novels narrated by Tanya Eby. This book was not disappointment. Like most romance novels, it follows a fairly predictable plot. But then again, that's what I love about the genre...I like happy endings :) Overall, I found all the characters very likeable. I especially liked the dynamics between Dakota, her two identical sisters, and her mother. They are hilarious together!

The other thing I like about this book is the same thing I like about all Susan Mallery books. Mallery writes true love stories. So, while there are definitely some sex scenes, there are not too many of them, and they are not overly graphic.

Entertaining. A fun read!

If you could sum up Only Mine in three words, what would they be?

A great escape!

What other book might you compare Only Mine to and why?

Susan Mallery books

Have you listened to any of Tanya Eby’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

She always does a good job.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The relationships between the women in these books are loving and caring. Endearing. They are not competitive and are basically stress-free. Just nice. Susan Mallery develops her characters very well, and the reader begins to like and care about them. It is comforting to know when you begin reading her books that all will end well.

Any additional comments?

My motive in reading these books is to enjoy a relaxing moment with a good book. I am not trying to learn anything by reading them. I just want to have a little fun, quiet time when I am alone.

Interesting start to a great series

This is the book that if you are not in love with Fools Gold prior, well beware you will start wondering if you can move there.

Sweet and entertaining!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Only Mine?

When Fin was trapped by the old lady and Dakota's mother at the market. He was doing a lot of squirming throught that conversation.

What does Tanya Eby bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I've read several reviews that bash Tanya Eby's performances and I just do not get it. She makes the stories interesting and brings the right amount of humor when needed. She is among my favorites that I like listening to tell the story the author wants to share. In fact I found Susan Mallery's books by searching for Tanya Eby's performances after listening to The Search.

Great story can't wait for the rest of them

I'm loving the Fools Gold Series

This book had kind of a strange plot, but in the end I got caught up emotionally in the story line.
