Story
If there’s one thing Brooke Sullivan knows for sure is that people let you down, but that hasn’t stopped her from going after the life she wants. In a new city, with a new job and a new start as a high-end real estate agent, she’s finally back on her feet. The last thing she needs is a distraction. Not her volatile neighbors, not a damn stray cat, and certainly not the flaky, infuriatingly adorkable girl-next-door property stager she has to work with.

Story
Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great, too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite.

S&M mash up with lesbian blended families and sick kids...
- By Linda Marea on 01-01-2021
Editorial Reviews
When American airspace was closed on 9/11, many planes already in the air were directed to an unlikely location: Gander, Newfoundland. This remote Canadian town is the backdrop for renowned lesbian romance writer Georgia Beers' riveting story 96 Hours. Stage and screen actress Romy Nordlinger richly voices the emotional turmoil of Erica Ryan and Abby Haynes, very different women who wind up stranded in Gander against the backdrop of terrorist-inflicted tragedy. Inevitably, the two form a deep bond - one that may or may not last past this traumatic, history-making 96 hours.
Publisher's Summary
Erica Ryan is flying home from London after a disastrous business trip. Free spirit Abby Hayes is flying into New York City to visit her mother before jetting off again. Both end up in Gander, Canada, when their flight is diverted because of 9/11. For ninety-six hours they share a rollercoaster of emotions and find themselves drawn to one another. Will their nascent connection survive everyday life when they return home?
Georgia Beers is the author of eight lesbian romances and has won the Lambda Literary Award and the Golden Grown Literacy Award.

Its Georgia Beers... what else do you need to know
The clear emotion from the event which shocked the world is conveyed and felt. This was a situation that actually happened in Canada because of 9/11 and it was fascinating to read about it. The developing romance between the girls is absorbing and lovely. Georgia always writes well and im more than happy to get anything with her name on it.
The narrator did an excellent job as well.

Very moving and superb narration!
What made the experience of listening to 96 Hours the most enjoyable?
The story was a deeply woven intricate study of a harrowing time - personal relationships and the beauty of relationships. I loved it from beginning to end.
What about Romy Nordlinger’s performance did you like?
Sensitive and beautifully narrated she's also great with the accents. I really liked her for being so able to be immersed in the characters and their stories. Beautiful. I found myself very moved and wasn't sure if it was the book itself or the narration but it must be a mixture of both.

Excellent Listen
Woven around a very typical lesbian romance novel the author relates the story of the people of Gander, Newfoundland in the aftermath of 9/11. During the 24/7 coverage at the time one of the great stories that was either unknown or overlooked was the way that the natives of the small Canadian town opened their hearts, their homes and their town; to the planes diverted there when US air space was closed. To see more about those events and the 96 hours in question check out YouTube's "A yellow Ribbon, Gander."
The romance was the stock girl meets girl, they find a reluctant growing attraction, they fight it; then finally act on it. The good feelings are lost; they part, both are upset. Then by an act of fate they're brought back together, their hearts soar the music plays and they walk off into the sunset together. Ms. Beers is a good writer and despite the predictability of the plot you're drawn in.
I highly recommend this book if for no other reason than the background story about Gander, and I thank my daughter for introducing me to this author.

Thrown Together by 9/11
A lesbian romance set against the backdrop of the 9/11 attack on the twin towers? It sounds like an oxymoron but Georgia Beers knows what she’s doing.
I have never been so scared and on edge at the beginning of a of a book.
Over the course of the book, the characters, an uptight scientist, and a wandering free-spirit, are stuck in an airport in Newfoundland, Canada, grounded by the attacks on the Twin Towers. They're not allowed to even get their checked luggage, sleeping on cots, the whole airport like a refugee camp.
What else is there to do but fall in love?
Romy Nordlinger does a fantastic job of bringing across the moods of the characters, blithe one minute, stressed the next.

Good Book DESPITE the narrator.
I really enjoyed the story, I’m sure the wonderful things that the residents of Gander NL were accurate. I’d like to think so. Sad backstory, obviously but I cannot stress enough, read this book don’t listen. The narrator ruined it for me, sorry. She sounded like my grandmother and it’s hard to get into a lesbian romance novel told by what sounds like an 85 year old reader. She didn’t change her voice among the characters except when they were drunk, even then she sounded 89 years old. Ugh. Bad narrator = ruined book for me.
Great story though.

It was good.
If you already like the author it's a nice listen. Story wise it covers a heavy event obviously, though there's a limit to how much I can relate to it given my age. I have a lot of empathy, but I'm not completely sure this story wanted to give you more than flashes. It was kinda shorter than some other stories so I understand the limitations. This is more just how I see it.

I didn’t think the reader was that bad at all. Yup, sometimes it was gravely like an old lady, but I didn’t notice it most often.

OK book bad narration.
The story itself of meeting in Gander directly following attacks in 9/11 was interesting. I enjoyed Erica's development. She owned her flaws/behavior and changed. Although Abby seemed to change too she never seemed to take ownership of her flaws/behavior. Basically I don't feel like Abby ever really understood how careless she was. Plus even to the last seen of the book made Erica out to be rigid or closed off thinking she was going to react a certain way when in fact it has been her being clueless. If she didn't know how Erica would feel about it by that point she wasn't paying attention. Still being careless with Erica's feelings.
The narrator was not very good. at times I couldn't tell who was speaking and her voice didn't fit the characters.
This is just mho. I don't leave lots of reviews but the character of Abby really irritated me and the narration was not very good. I would recommend if you want to read this book actually read it and skip the audible version.

Feels like a love story
Unlike many works about LGBT characters, this book felt like a normal drama romance. It wasnt about coming out, or overly erotic. It read like a normal cheesy straight romance novel. It may have been predictable and silly but it was well written and it felt awesome to have representation that fit in with straight representation and didnt make me feel like an outcast. I absolutely would recommend this book.

An interesting take on 9/11
This piece took an interesting look at the tragic events of 9/11 and brought the focus onto the fact that so many people were stranded while American airspace was closed down.
One of the things that really detracted me away from the story was the narration. It wasn't too bad, and a good attempt was made with the different accents, but there were a couple of words that were mispronounced, and that had me cringing. Plus the sound quality at times wasn't at all good. I'm not sure if that was from the download streaming, or if it was a engineering problem, whatever the cause it did detract from the story somewhat.
I was also disappointed that the only the USA was mentioned as losing people in the tragic events of that day, when in reality other countries also lost people in the Twin Towers. I understand that this was a direct assault on American soil, but a brief mention to the fact that other nationalities also lost their lives that day would have been more accurate. I'm not saying this to dismiss what America suffered that day, but I do tend to like things to reflect accurately the diversity of what happened. It's a personal thing, something I got from my parents; and if I offend anybody with that statement please understand it is not deliberate, but is just a reflection of things that don't sit right with me when facts are overlooked. Especially as the opportunity to mention it in passing (and that's all it needed to be) was there with the inclusion on a British man in the main story-line.
However that aside, this was a nice look into how people tend to bond, offer up their homes and support in times of adversity. For that alone it is a work worth recommending. It is all to easy to sometimes forget that as a society was can become too insular, this reminds us that communities and individuals can look past that and show compassion and kindness under very trying circumstances. And the author brought that into sharp relief, as well as letting us care about what happened to the people involved.
