Mine

Moat people who have experienced infidelity have at least thought about confronting the other woman or man, about getting answers, and about some kind of revenge. Most people have to think about the consequences of certain actions, about how doing what they really want to do would affect their children and others around them, about where they go from here - but what if they didn't? That's where Mine comes in. Some things about the story were a little over the top, and in all honesty, I didn't agree with the actions of any of these characters. However, having been in Tessa's shoes, I can understand what drove her. As for Lindsey, the other woman, we get her story in a series of flashbacks throughout the book. Of course, we aren't meant to like her, but it's pretty clear that she's a bit unhinged. Oh, and let's not forget that everything other than Lindsey's flashbacks are happening in the middle of a category four hurricane, and the man in the middle is stuck in New York, so intervention isn't coming any time soon. All of that creates a tension-filled atmosphere, and regardless of how I felt about any particular character, I couldn't help but cheer a little for Tessa at times, and even though I hate to admit it, I felt a bit sorry for Lindsey at certain points in the story. In the end, we don't exactly get a clearly defined outcome, especially for Tessa, but it is fitting given the circumstances, and if you're like me, you'll put yourself in Tessa's shoes and ponder what you think should come next.

Perfect! A book with a hole lot of meaning. Could NOT put this down! Two women a wife & a mistress stuck in a hurricane... And one mutual connection.. The husband.. Absolutely Loved this book!

MINE By: Courtney Cole My Rating ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Content Rating: 18+ Genre: Psychological Thriller, Woman’s Fiction Publication Date: May 28, 2019 So, what happens when the wife and the mistress collide into each other during a category four hurricanes on the Florida coast? MINE happens. Outstanding from the first page. MINE is an addictive story that took hold of my heart and mind. I read this book in less than two days. There were times that my whole body was shaking, knowing that this type of betrayal can happen in any marriage. I love the way Courtney Cole writes. Her words jump off the page, and this book is no exception. The story is a constant flow of psychological tension between two women, Tessa the wife and Lindsey the mistress, who are both in love with the same man, Ethan. The story is told from a dual point of view, going between Tessa and Lindsey, allowing the reader to get both sides of the story. There is drama, infidelity, revenge, and heartbreak. Betrayal on so many levels that it made my head spin. Also, even some twists I didn't see coming. The author's character development was painstakingly perfect. Allowing the reader to get to know the characters and watch them gradually develop when they are both confronted with events they never saw coming. I have to say that I could realistically befriend the Tessa character. She was a wonderful mother, wife, and successful businesswoman, but the essential part of her life was the love she had for her family. Lindsey was a pathetic piece of work; there were times I wanted to smack her. Right. Across. The. Face. I went between hating her and pitying her — the kind of character you love to hate. Ethan, the lying, cheating husband, I only have one word that describes him, scumbag. MINE is a book that will have every married woman checking her husband's phone. Also, every mistress wondering if "he" is worth it. ***I kindly received this galley by way of NetGalley/publisher/author. I was not contacted, asked, or required to leave a review.
