Because You're Mine

A Novel

By: Rea Frey

Narrated by: Samantha Desz

An “insidious, suspenseful tale” (J.T. Ellison) with a “shocker of an ending you won’t see coming” (Michele Campbell), Because You're Mine by Rea Frey, the author who “brings to mind Jodi Picoult” (Booklist) and “will appeal to readers of Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen” (Sally Hepworth) is an audiobook about how the truth will set you free.

But it’s the lies that keep you safe.

Single mother Lee has the daily routine down to a science: shower in six minutes. Cut food into perfect squares. Never leave her on-the-spectrum son Mason in someone else’s care. She’ll do anything - anything - to keep his carefully constructed world from falling apart. Do anything to keep him safe.

But when her best friend Grace convinces her she needs a small break from motherhood to recharge her batteries, Lee gives in to a weekend trip. Surely a long weekend away from home won’t hurt? Noah, Mason’s handsome, bright, charismatic tutor - the first man in ages Lee’s even noticed - is more than happy to stay with him.

Forty-eight hours later, someone is dead.

But not all is as it seems. Noah may be more than who he claims to be. Grace has a secret - one that will destroy Lee. Lee has secrets of her own that she will do anything to keep hidden. As the dominoes begin to fall and the past comes to light, perhaps it's no mystery someone is gone after all....

Because You're Mine is a breathtaking audiobook of domestic drama and suspense.

Prepare to stay up all night.

Great story with many twists

The story has many layers after friendship, hardship, and the twists and turns life can take. The ending will keep you thinking about how lies can hurt those they are meant to protect the most.

Wow!!!!

I rarely write reviews, but this was amazing! It took a little while to get to the true “twists”, but wow! I’ve listened to 5 AWFUL books before this. I highly recommend!

wow...that ending though

This story through its twists and turns had me hooked! Love a good book and this one takes the cake!

Tight and suspenseful!

Rea Frey gets the darkness behind suburban ideals, mothering and friendship in her second novel. I related to all of her characters and some of their secrets. A page turner!

Great book, some lazy writing

Great book and incredible ending, but if I hear “beyond” substituted for “very” one more time... instead of saying very angry or beyond angry please just say furious etc...
