He is Mine: A bisexual romantic suspense novel Kindle Edition

4.0 out of 5 stars 26 ratings

*Shortlisted for the 2019 Selfies Awards*

This time, she's not after him. She's after his boyfriend.

NYPD detective Brad Moretti’s life is in tatters. A relationship destroyed by his boyfriend’s bipolar disorder has left him feeling guilty, inadequate and emotionally scarred.

Vivienne Aubert seems to have it all – a Hollywood career, supermodel looks, and a director husband about to make it big. And yet, a one-night-stand with rising superstar Damien Thomas makes Viv wonder if she hasn’t settled for second-best. Used to getting her way, she embarks on a ruthless quest to make Damien hers.

Unaware of Viv’s fatal attraction, Damien returns to New York, where a chance encounter with Brad sparks a prompt and rapidly growing affinity between the two men – which Viv is determined to terminate.

Can Brad head off her delusional desires before she destroys his newfound happiness, or will he fail to protect yet another lover?

About the Author

Mel was born in Germany, where she spent the first twenty-six years of her life (with a one-year stint in Los Angeles). She has always been fascinated by cultures and human interaction, and got a Masters in Social Anthropology. After finishing university she moved to London, where she has now lived for ten years.

If you were to ask her parents what Mel enjoyed the most since the age of six, they would undoubtedly say "Reading!" She would take fifteen books on a three-week beach holiday, and then read all her mom's books once she'd devoured her own midway through week two.

Back home in her mom's attic there's a box full of journals with stories Mel wrote when she was in her early teens. None of the stories are finished, or any good. She has told herself bedtime stories as far back as she can remember.

In her day job, Mel works as PA and office manager. No other city is quite like London, and Mel loves her city. The hustle and bustle still amaze and thrill her even after all these years. When not reading, writing or going to the theater, Mel spends her time with her long-time boyfriend, discussing science or poking fun at each other.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mel Gough loves writing about love – but with a twist. Nominated for the 2019 Selfies Awards, her bisexual romantic suspense novel He is Mine is a typical Mel Gough story. She needs her HEA fix, but on the way there will be thorns and fire, and sometimes brimstone. All right, that might be over the top, especially since her stories are firmly based in the real world - though not always in the here and now.

Born in Germany, exploring other realities has been Mel’s siren call since she was young. Books opened up a plethora of worlds, and soon gave her a strong love of the English language. After an MA in Anthropology, field work in the middle of nowhere seemed like one adventure too far, so Mel settled in London, which, to misquote Dr. Johnson, she will never tire of.

Mel loves to bend genres – her romances are gritty and dark, and sometimes there’s a dead body. She’s been told that her prose is beautiful yet disturbingly real. She’s curious about bygone times, and hopes to speculate about the future in one of her next books.

She was once asked “How to tell you're in a Mel Gough novel”

- You were either sick or in an accident, or you’re caring for someone who was

- You're bisexual (or your partner is)

- Your partner has unusual eyes (probably grey)

- Life sucks a lot, but then you meet someone, and things get better

    I like how the story starts as two different stories. Curious how it will all come together? Couldn't put it down. Good read!

    Mel Gough deserves kudos. Coming up with a highly original story in a genre that's got multiple releases popping out on a basis is no easy feat, yet she's managed to exactly that with this tale of three people whose lives intersect and change forever. It would be easy to slap a label on each one of the main characters, but Brad, Damien, and Viv were far more complex than simply being a cop, an actor, and an actress, respectively. I don't want to give too much away in terms of the plot and what lengths Viv goes to in order to have Damien solely hers. Instead, allow me to point out that this novel had an intriguing promise of a story, and it was a promise that was mostly met. There were moments wherein the pacing did feel to slow down before revving back up again, but for all intents and purposes, I was entertained from start to finish. While the entire cast of characters was fascinating, I feel that it was Brad who was truly at the very heart of this story, and he was the one who held everything together and the one I enjoyed getting to know and see evolve the most. All in all, He Is Mine was a commendable four-starred read. ♥

    I really enjoyed this author’s other recent release and, after reading the blurb, jumped at the chance to read He is Mine. I always like to mix things up and try something different from my norm, and this novel was definitely that with its multiple main characters, points of view, and involved storyline. He is Mine ended up being a mixed bag for me. The unique plot was memorable and well-planned out with plenty of twists and details, but there were aspects that had me less enthused.

    Admittedly the writing style in He is Mine wasn’t my favorite. The third person present tense point-of view and staccato rhythm often felt awkward and stilted, and was a far cry from the easy-to-read, comfortable approach in Miss Gough’s previous work. Those elements combined with a less than likable main character in the spotlight for much of the book- especially the first portion- made it difficult to really sink into the story. Once Damien and Brad meet, I found my interest ratcheting up, but I didn’t feel like I got a balanced story about them. Though they had a supportive, sweet partnership, their love story felt rushed and overshadowed by Vivienne’s role. Consequently, I missed out on some relationship and character development as well as the burgeoning chemistry. Perhaps my critical view has more to do with expecting a romance with a controlling ex subplot versus what often felt like a psychological thriller with a side of romance. Regardless, He is Mine was definitely different and memorable and left me interested to see what the author’s creative mind comes up with next.

    So, okay. Let me start by saying this book is really really well done. I was super stoked because I’d read another of Mel Gough’s books and, well. You know how it goes when you find an author that writes what you like well.

    That out of the way, though, it did take me a bit to get into. There were three storylines that do eventually come together, but at first I was wondering how Brad and Viv and Damien were going to come together, being from such different places.

    Brad’s a cop who's just gotten out of a bad relationship. Viv’s an actress in a movie alongside Damien. Very Lifetime movie in that she becomes obsessed in a way Damien isn’t cool with, and there are twists and turns before we get to the happy-ish ending.

    I really felt for the characters on all sides, and I really enjoyed the writing style, though it was a bit disjointed compared to her other work. It’s nice to see Gough’s range, though, since she’s not written too many books yet. I would definitely recommend this, but do keep in mind that it doesn’t start off action-packed and off to the races. It eases you in with some slow backstory before jerking the wheel to the left.

    Fatal Attraction, suspense, love, emotional upheaval, etc...He Is Mine by Mel Gough has all of that and more. I'm going to admit that it took me a little bit to get into this story, but once I did, I didn't want to put it down. I almost felt like it gave me whiplash...in a good way.

    The story revolves around Damien. Vivienne wants him and is determined to have him, but once he meets Brad, their relationship grows. However, Vivienne isn't willing to let go. Things get complicated and scary. Hold on while you read this because it is a bumpy ride.

    I absolutely loved this story and everything about it. There were a couple of times that I thought it dragged, but the characters and the plot held me captive. It flowed very well and I hated the times I had to put it down. One click this book today! 4.5 stars!

    First I have to say that Mel did an amazing job writing this story from three people's POV's. I know it can be difficult but she pulled it off and had me on the edge of my seat screaming at my kindle and then crying because things were going south for Brad and Damien. I really HATED I mean HATED Viv she was a biatch and she was out of control and a spoiled brat who got what she wanted when she wanted and when she didn't she raised hell and let everyone know she was not happy.

    Brad I loved the most because he was strong and determined even after he was hurt from a past lover he still gave his heart and loved hard. He knows he wants to be with Damien and he is willing to fight Viv for him. She may have had him for a night but Brad is determined to keep him for life.

    I loved how this story fell into place and was not rushed because it made it more believable. The slow rise of the relationship between Brad and Damien was epic and made it feel like a real story. Viv I have no good to say about her. She is all about her and her feelings and no one else matters. She is SELFISH to ninth degree!
