About this audiobook
Thrown back to the year 1897, Victoria Ashton is mistaken for, and forced to impersonate, the spiteful, unfaithful Countess of Guildford, who's been missing for three weeks. Despite Victoria's attempts to convince the earl she's not his wife, her double's infidelity and lies make it difficult, especially when Victoria falls in love with a man who loathes her.
Nicholas Thornhill, Earl of Guildford, is plagued with rumors he murdered his missing wife. When she unexpectedly reappears, he scoffs at her latest in a long string of lies. But the changes in Victoria make him to alter his opinion as he forges a bond with her that crosses the boundaries of time.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow, wow, and just wow. I agreed to review an advance listening copy of Forever Mine because it sounded like a cute little time travel story. They can be fun if you don’t try to over-analyze the science of time travel, so I was expecting an exciting, slightly humorous story of a woman dropped into the wrong time, struggling to get back, with a little heat on the side. Monica Burns is a new-to-me author and since I love audiobooks this seemed like a good way to check her stories out. Listening while walking can be diverting.Well, let me tell you, diverting is definitely not the right word. Mesmerizing, all-consuming, hypnotic, heartwarming, heartbreaking – those might be better words. Once I started listening, I really could not stop. I would have walked round the clock if I could have; as it was, I stayed up very late to finish this story. I couldn’t leave Victoria and Nicholas/Nick. I expected there to be a happy ending (realizing that even though there was a Nicholas and a Nick there was only one Victoria) but I couldn’t imagine how it might work out. And you know how you know in the logical part of your brain that you’ll be smiling at the end but your heart isn’t quite sure and you’re afraid to turn away because something unexpected and bad might happen. In the animated Beauty & the Beast I am always afraid that this one time the Beast will really die, and I was worried in that same way about Victoria and the N’s.This is a fairy tale of love, with all the good and evil and happy and sad you would expect. Author Burns moves the story along smoothly and quickly, making it easy to follow the jumps back and forth between time and place. She’s created interesting characters with depth and personality, and just when you think you’ve figured everything out another surprise pops up.The attraction between Victoria and Nick in the present day is immediate and intense. He is just swooping in for a big kiss that she is eagerly awaiting when the track lighting falls on her head. As she remains in the hospital in a coma always-logical Nick can’t figure out why it is impossible for him to leave her side. She looks just like the woman in the picture he is nearly (ha, ha Nick, it's more than nearly) obsessed with but she isn’t that woman from the past and he can’t be in love with someone he doesn’t even know. Or can he? The attraction between Nicholas and Victoria isn’t quite so instant. As far as he’s concerned she’s his horrible wife Vickie just up to more tricks. Around this version of Vickie, though, his feelings bounce like a rubber band: helplessly drawn to her and then repelled when he remembers their history and waits for this fake Vickie to revert to her true self. As for Victoria, this is frightening, fantastic and inconceivable. How did she get here and why can’t she remember? And when is she going back? She knows who she is and where she’s from and that she is NOT Vickie. But even with the blank space in her memory, she is inexplicably drawn to this cranky, uptight, heart throbbingly handsome guy against all logic, sense, and reason. So we know at once we’re off to a great start. Forever Mine is a wonderful story full of sweetness and fun and humor and danger and suspicion and intrigue and anger. With lots and lots and LOTS of heat and some very, very cuddly times. And love that really is forever.This would be a great book to read, but as an audiobook it goes to another level; it is as if it was written to be read aloud. From a technical standpoint the audio is well produced, with good, clear sound and balanced levels. The dual narrators Stephanie Nemeth Parker and Zachary Johnson are just about perfect. I do love British accents but living in California by way of Chicago it is important that I be able to understand those gorgeous accents. And I can! The dialogue is crisp and clear, the emphasis always feels just right, dramatic but not distracting. I was drawn into the story and transported both to the 1897 countryside and the present-day hustle and bustle.Thanks to home cooked books for providing an advance listening copy of Forever Mine via SoundCloud for my listening pleasure and honest review. I loved this story and can’t wait to listen to the next in the series. I recommend it without hesitation. All opinions are my own.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5FOREVER MINE by Monica Burns is a unique Scottish Historical Victorian Time-Travel Romance with a bit of Paranormal element set in present time to 1897. Meet, Victoria Ashton, Countess of Guildford and Nicholas Thornhill, Earl of Guildford and a passion that lasts forever, literally.Well written with a unique take of romance, time,passion, tragedy,danger and a powerful love story that spans generations and though time. Even, though the lies, betrayal, ill tempers, and the possibility of murder, the Earl of Guildford, Nickolas, can't stop from being attracted to the present day Victoria.Time Travel, is not usually my foray, but, I have to say, FOREVER MINE is a must read. It is powerful, compelling, passionate, and a must read. I have enjoyed every single story Ms. Burns has written thus far, and have to say FOREVER MINE, was no exception, and fact I am now a believer of the Time-Travel genre. The chemistrybetween the present day Victoria and Nickolas is astounded, powerful and very passionate. Even through time and generations, their love could not be denied. I would highly recommend FOREVER MINE to Historical readers as well as Time-Travel,and Romance readers. A terrific read from the first blast from an explosion to the very last page and beyond, we all wish to have this kind of love story. Powerful and compelling!! Well done! *Received for an honest review from the author and/or publicist* Rating: 4.5Heat rating: HotReviewed by: AprilR, courtesy of My Book Addiction and More
