Because You're Mine

By: Marin Montgomery

Narrated by: Wally Schrass

Levin Crowdley is engaged to the man of her dreams, or so she thought. That is, until a stranger appears on her doorstep to suggest Alec, her adoring fiancé, is anything but.

No one has ever left Alec. More precisely; no one has ever left Alec and lived to tell about it.

Levin's life is now about survival, a game of cat and mouse as Alec pursues her.

And the second he catches her, he’s never letting go. ’Til death do them part.

great suspenseful thriller

fast paced and interesting. some parts were a little graphic but it was well written

Good storyline that displays true resilience

This book was a good display of true resilience. It made me reflect upon just how many people are “Sleeping with the enemy.” Some themes were greed, domestic violence, trauma, and revenge. It was a good read overall.

Thriller

This book is more for adults due to the situation the characters find themselves in and the author is not scared to use profanity or crude language. This actually gives you a picture of what the main male character is like.
However, I found it is not for me. I liked the description and I knew there was going to be profanity but I found it hard to listen too.
This is a personal opinion and others might disagree with me and love it. There is nothing wrong with the plot, it is just not for me.
If you don't mind significant amount of profanity and love thrillers then this book is for you.

Emotionally Driven Drama

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was taken with this book right from the beginning. I was rooting and empathizing with Levin as she tried to get away from Alex. I read several other reviewers indicate that this story did not ring true -- but I could not disagree more. There are many men like Alex who are extremely possessive and dictate how their spouse/GF will behave/will dress/speak, etc. And like Alex, these men can react violently when their spouse/GF tries to end their relationship. You just have to watch the news or read the newspaper to see evidence of this behavior. Having said that, Alex was an over-the-top character but I enjoyed that aspect of unpredictability.

I thought it was great that this book is written with Levin's and Alex's point of view alternating chapters. This is a very emotionally driven drama between Alex and Levin. The only thing that I thought distracted from that drama was Levin's possible romance with another character. I also felt the ending was a bit rushed.

The narrator, Wally Schrass, did a great job as Alex -- a very narcissitic character. A few times, the narrator repeated phrases or sentences which should have been edited out in quality control.

Engaging and a page turner

It's a "page turner" I know there are no actual pages but the story kept me engage the whole way through. It's not a complicated read whatsoever. But what is there is read that is brisk and fast paced. I was also a scary read and it kept me up at night.
