That Could Be Enough

By: Alyssa Cole

Narrated by: Karen Chilton

Mercy Alston knows the best thing to do with pesky feelings like "love" and "hope": avoid them at all costs. Serving as a maid to Eliza Hamilton, and an assistant in the woman's stubborn desire to preserve her late husband's legacy, has driven that point home for Mercy - as did her own previous heartbreaks.

When Andromeda Stiel shows up at Hamilton Grange for an interview in her grandfather's stead, Mercy's resolution to live a quiet, pain-free life is tested by the beautiful, flirtatious, and entirely overwhelming dressmaker.

Andromeda has staid Mercy reconsidering her worldview, but neither is prepared for love - or for what happens when it's not enough.

This is an angsty but fluffy F/F novella with a happy ending for both of our intrepid heroines.

WOW

I don't have the words for how good this was except to beg for more of their beautiful story. What masterful writing?!!!!

Great listen

It was a great story very well written I enjoyed the narrators soothing voice as well.

WHY WHY WHY Isn’t This Longer??

This is my first book from this author. It certainly won’t be my last!

TCBE is a cute little story that is quite interesting. It stars 2 very intriguing characters, and I wanted to spend more time with them!! Honestly, it’s stories like this that make me shy away from novellas. I wanted more story, more scenes with these fascinating characters and more time in this world AC created. I wanted to hear about the costumes Andromeda ultimately created and the eventual tenants of the rooming house. Maybe experience a play with the MC for the first time.
Perhaps AC will give us another (FULL LENGTH) story in this world featuring some of the characters Mercy and Andromeda encounter. 🤞🏾 PLEASE PLEASE!!! We need more quality stories starring African American women. 🙏🏾 Especially of the queer bent...

As for the narrator, it took me a minute to get on board with her. At first I thought her voice was a little too mature sounding for Mercy’s character, although I thought she was perfectly fine for Andromeda’s-given her personality, but she grew on me as I got lost in the story.

I definitely recommend this one, and I’ll be checking out other stories by AC!

lovely storytelling

I loved it as it was easy to listen to, exciting, and relevant. great job with the story and the narration.

Cute

It was my first time listening to her books and being a black lesbian, it was a cute little story and i want more. More of these types of books from her but longer.
