I loved this, this book was exactly what I needed after a back to back fantasy. This one was happy, sad, funny, frustrating but all unputdownable measures!
I loved the chemistry between Alice and Callum, i loved the romance, the possessiveness, the miscommunication trope was not present for this read which I was mega grateful for. It worked well. I was itching to see where the dates went and how they unfolded and I loved reading about the romance unfolding, especially coupled in with the memories creeping back in.
This book is an easy recommend for romance lovers that want something a little less fluffy but really enjoyable.
Thank you Netgalley!
As a lifelong 50 first dates fan, I ran, not walked, to read this book.
Ten dates follow Alice and Callum who have known each other their entire lives. It starts with Alice walking from a coma where she forgot the last two years of her life which coincidently happens to be the only two years she ever had anything other than childish rivalry with Callum.
Throughout this book, it switches between both their perspectives as they navigate her literally not remembering any good time they had together. It was cute, the writing was sweet and loved both characters.
If I had one complaint, its just that I wished it explored that memory loss a bit more and focused on Alice's life outside of Callum.
I loved this. I read it in a day - I couldn’t put it down. The amnesia trope can wear a bit thin but it didn’t here - I was just so willing the MC to get where she needed to be and dying for a happy ending. There was no unrealistic “I remember everything” moment, which made it all the more realistic and a bit heartbreaking at points. Totally gripping, but I was left bereft by NO EPILOGUE 😭
4.25/5 stars! This book was sweet and sorrowful all at once. After his wife is in a car accident and loses the majority of her memories of him, Callum Roberts will do anything to help her fall in love with him again. This book read like "50 First Dates" meets "The Vow." This is perfect for fans of second-chance romance with unique twists.
I received an advance review copy for free through NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily
This story follows the relationship of Callum and Alice after she is in an accident and forgets the last two years of her life, which involves her time dating Callum.
I liked the writing and switching viewpoints. I enjoyed the characters, although Callum was a bit too perfect at times.
I didn't care for the language, some of the plot felt confusing (Why did Alice feel like 10 dates she has to have all her memory back or deals off? That wasn't deal?? Confusing)
Overall, not horrible but I wish the characters weren't so 'perfect' and the life problems just never seemed to really resolve (work, money, jobs, etc.)
Well she’s done it again!! I have no idea how she does it, Mrs Dove is a QUEEN!! Ten Dates is a must read! From beginning to end, this book is just perfection.
Callum is just a sweetheart. It’s impossible not to feel your heart melt as he could make even an ice queen thaw. Alice, bless her has a tough journey. This something I can relate to a million per cent, it’s really strange waking In hospital with little recollection of how you got there.
Ten Dates is filled with so much love my heart is bursting. Rachel has once again made tears stream down my cheeks as Callum has fought to remind Alice how things were.
I have loved how original this is. I think it might be my favourite by Rachel yet. I know I say that with every book but this is definitely a masterpiece wrapped in a beautiful cover. The characters are just perfect. My heart is definitely bursting, even if I was panicking that Mrs Dove was going to make me shout.
I can safely say Ten Dates is a gem. There is nothing negative I can say about this book, it’s beautiful from beginning to end. Rachel Dove is a queen, the crown has been polished and she’s back. An absolute must read worthy of all the stars.
