Book Summary 

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 novel of domestic drama and suspense.

Prepare to stay up all night.

Author Rea Frey




Because You're Mine
By Rea Frey
Review written by HeidiLynn's BookReviews


First, I want to thank Rea Frey, St. Martin’s Griffin, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you with this review.

Rea Frey seriously brought out all of sorts of emotions in this reader in Because You’re Mine. There were many moments in the story where Rea totally shocked me that I never saw coming. Moments where I stress you will need a box of tissues!! Not to mention all the secrets that this book has that eventually will come out. This was a must-read book though.

This book may not be for everyone as it deals with some difficult subjects that may trigger some. Some of those topics are rape, bearing a child out of rape, suicide, alcoholism, your best friend dating your father, etc.

In the very beginning of this book Rea writes an extremely personal note to her readers. She tells her extremely brave story about the time her teenage boyfriend raped her and how it affected her afterword’s. She also lists some great references if you or anyone you know have been sexually abused or having suicidal thoughts.

My favorite character in this book was Mason. The book didn’t come out and literally say it but all the traits were there he had Asperger’s. Ironically, I had the honor of babysitting a 8 year old boy by the name of Mason who had this. He too like the character in the book was so incredibly bright and didn’t like change either. Many scenes with Mason pulled on my heart strings big time. Not to mention I have a soft spot for children and adults with this disorder.

One thing I could feel while reading this book was that Rea was very passionate about Mason and Wyatt (another boy with Asperger’s) story line and that it was close to her heart! This made for a more special read.

Sadly, the book didn’t hook me right always. It took a little bit to really grab my attention. However, when it did I was totally hooked and could not put it down.
