A review by farmv8
10 Days by M.K. Chester
3.0
I usually give all MK Chester books a 5 star rating as I love this author’s work, but this book had too many unfavorable themes for me to truly enjoy. I appreciate a romance the two characters must fight for, but the characters of Chelsea (the bride) and Gayle (the mother of the bride) were almost demonized for reacting to traumatic events. They also did many unrealistic actions that were written in borderline misogynistic fashion.
It wasn’t clear what made the love interests fall for each other so quickly other than “she’s so sexy” and “he’s a good guy.” The progression wasn’t very believable to me. I do like the setting of the affair happening days before the wedding though.
There were also multiple steamy scenes that occurred on the grounds of a historical plantation in which slaves used to live, which I found difficult to listen to as that was extremely insensitive.
As I read the audiobook version, the female narrator did not do the best job performing male voices. This made the steamy scenes awkward to listen to. Usually Chester’s female narrators do a more adequate performance. For this book especially, I would rather had a male narrator.
I received a free audiobook copy from Story Origin and am leaving this review voluntarily.
