Bethany Lopez's 10 Years is the story of finding lost love and finally accepting true feelings. Gwen and Craig have been best friends since the time they met at a playground. They faced life and its ups and downs while they held hands with each other. They have remained each other’s strength. They have seen it all, fought it all, and survived it all.
One fateful night when they finally decided to act upon their attraction, Gwen realized one thing: Craig can hurt her emotionally. This is the one thing she cannot allow; her past had taught her this lesson. Craig forgets what happened because he was drunk and when Gwen pushed him away, he put all his energy into following his passion: baseball.
But he misses Gwen and her friendship. The walls around her heart are the only things keeping him out of her life and he has had enough. They know each other’s heart and soul and now Craig is finally ready to fight for her and make her his. Will Gwen allow that, or will she let her past win and her heart fail?
Bethany Lopez has once again worked her magic with 10 Years. This new novel in her Time for Love series can be read as a standalone and you will love it. This simple, yet beautiful story of love and acceptance will turn you around. Both Gwen and Craig love each other and the reader can feel that, even from the time they were teenagers. You can also understand Gwen's dilemma and the angst that it created. Overall, it is a great story to keep in your collection, especially when you want to smile because of a really good story.
