Ten years old I fell in love
Ten years was the price of that love
Ten years later our world’s re-collide
I have always been a sucker for best friend's brother romance trope. And in Ker Dukey's latest release, TEN, I was intrigued with the blurb and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book but sadly TEN was just an okay read. The writing was great but the storyline and characters failed to grip and hold my attention. The premise of the story was a young girl named Alexandria and Dalton, the boy she fell in love with. At ten years old, she knew without a doubt that Dalton was her soulmate. And fast forward to present time, readers learn that Dalton felt betrayed by Alex and her family. As readers, we learn of the circumstances of their parting and separation. While the hopeless romantic in me was curious on how Dalton and Alex were able to overcome this hurdle, I just couldn't FEEL their connection. The way Dalton treated Alex was cruel and spiteful. I also felt Alex forgave too easily after all the emotional and physical abuse she endured.
"He was like the sun, and I was a flower waiting to bloom in his presence."
I may be in the minority of readers of who just thought this book was just ehhh but I will say that this will not deter me in reading the next book, SIX. I look forward to reading SIX's story because I was already captivated and intrigued with his character more than Ten's.
