Ten Hours Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 316 ratings

Ten hours…
That’s how much time we spent together.
How much time I got with the man whose bright eyes and sultry smile almost made me forget that I was sick.

Six hundred minutes…
That’s how long it took me to fall in love.

Thirty-six thousand seconds...
And then it was over. And all I wanted was more.
More seconds.
More minutes.
More hours.
More him.

Ten hours…
Such a small, insignificant amount of time.
Yet those ten hours changed everything.

*Ten Hours can be read as a standalone or as the first book in a two part Duet. What Comes After is also now available!

Heartbreakingly Beautiful!!
I’m not sure how to even write a review for this HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL book. For one, I can’t see past the tears in my eyes.Melissa has written a story that will stick with you long after you’ve finished the last page. So many emotions, so many tears, so many whys and so much love. Gahhhh....I can’t even find the words for how amazing this book was.I’m not going into much detail because EVERY SINGLE person needs this book in their life. Grab your box of tissues and let these words carry through your mind and your heart. You won’t be disappointed.Highly recommended.

    I have never had a book touch me all the way down to my soul as this book has. I've read hundreds, maybe thousands of books in my life and I read every single page from beginning to end in the course of-- Holy Crap. I'm not kidding in the slightest when I say I just realized it has taken me 10 hours to finish this book. Annnnd, cue more tears. I had no idea when I started this book at my daughter's naptime that I would be sucked in so deeply.

    Finley. Oh my gosh. This girl is so strong & at 19. Wow. Then came Abel and their instant connection that just left me like, whoa. I loved the course of their ten hours, but that was only the beginning.

    The deeper I got into the story the more of a roller coaster I became. I was able feel the emotions thru the characters and that right there is great writing.

    I don't like to give a lot away but let me make one thing clear. I have never ugly cried over a book more than I have with this one. I mean full out sobbing while my husband and teenage son watch and annoyingly repeat, "It's just a book!" Oh my sweet god in heaven, the have absolutely no idea. This is so much more than "just a book". This is a story that will stick with me forever. One that I will be purchasing in paperback and keeping on my bookshelves as one of my Top 3 favorite of all times.

    I recommend this book 1000%. Just be prepared to (want to) read the entire book in one sitting and have that box of tissues ready cause as much as I thought I wasn't really going to need them, YOU WILL DEFINITELY NEED THEM!!! 🙂

    A Big, Huge, Ginormous thank you to Melissa for writing such an incredible story. I'm very much looking forward to the continuation of Abel's journey. ❤

    You'll read this book in far less than ten hours, because you won't put it down! But fair warning: If you like Happily Ever After endings, you won't find one here. You will find a compelling, gut-wrenching story that will shred your emotions and leave you in tears. Guaranteed.

    Facing risky surgery for a malignant brain tumor, Finley goes to a Chicago bar and meets Abel, a gorgeous musician. When an immediate and powerful attraction stirs between them, they leave the bar and spend ten incredible hours together, culminating with wild sex in his high-rise apartment. (Nothing too erotic except that sex-against-the-window scene--wow!) By the end of that night, Finley's in love with Abel. Even so, she "ghosts" him and leaves before he wakes up, having told him nothing except her first name. "The truth isn't an option. I don't want him to think of me as the sick girl he spent one night with before she died."

    Will Finley survive her surgery? Will Abel find her somehow? If he does, can their love conquer all? I'm not saying. But regardless of how it ends, this book will make you believe in the undying power of love. Experience Ten Hours for yourself. Then you'll dry your tears and smile, especially when you find out there's a sequel to the story! Life goes on.

    My God I wish I could give Ten Hours more then 5 stars. I first want to stand up and applaud Melissa Toppen for this book. It is not very often you come across a book that touches your hear and soul like Ten Hours does. When you're told that tissues are going to be needed and you say to yourself no I'm stronger then that. Well I will tell you this I was sobbing throughout this one. This book. God this book. There are not enough words to decribe the impact Ten Hours has made on me. This is a book that will stick with you. Ten Hours is such a powerful read. Finley and Abel will steal your heart and soul. The strength and love they share is felt fully from the beginning. I'm still swimming in a sea of emotions when it comes to Finley and Abel. I really don't want to say much more about Abel and Finley because you need to experience this book. This is by far my top book of 2019. Ten Hours is a book that needs to be read. If you haven't read Melissa Toppen then this is a book to do so. If you have then you know how much of an impact her writing has with touching your heart and soul. GO ONE CLICK THIS ONE AND REMEMBER THE TISSUES. SOMETIMES A GOOD UGLY CRY IS ALL YOU NEED. TEN HOURS NEEDS TO BE READ.

    Oh my goodness...
    *Warning...don't read while in public... ugly cry.

    Finley and Abel's romance will definitely be one I do not forget any time soon. It was incredible, albeit heartbreaking...

    I didn't realize going into this book, what I was getting into. This was a fantastically written romance with a second chance. I don't want to ruin the story, so I will just say that I HIGHLY recommend reading this! ALL of the characters, situations, and the entire storyline was FANTASTIC! **heads up...this does not end in an HEA.

    Anyway...grab the box of tissue, snuggle up somewhere comfy and read this incredible masterpiece! 5 stars!

    I picked Ten Hours because it has such high ratings on Amazon. I kept reading Ten Hours because it's damn good! With dual POV that is necessary to fully tell the story, the two characters start off spending a whirlwind night together. What comes after is both consequence and eventuality that Melissa Toppen weaves with a rollercoaster of emotional ups and downs. While you can definitely read Ten Hours as its own standalone book, the follow-up, What Comes After, is available. (If you hate spoilers like I do, don't read the synopsis of the second book!) Ten Hours is a tear-jerker with intense emotional scenes and plenty of steamy love scenes. I highly recommend! ~Shameless Book Club

    Reviewed in Australia on February 20, 2021
    This book opens you to love- that all consuming love that people get and grab onto and hope it lasts a life time. Finley was amazing her strength even at her most vulnerable was clear. Abel’s unconditional love, his own personal strength and his humour showed a great man. The emotional wreckage this book leaves you in is worth it to bear witness to the love they share- its awe, absolute awe worthy.

    A lovely story, beautiful but sad. I'm just really peeved that this is, I think, the 4th book I've read in the last year with the exact same road trip scenario and the exact same road trip result. But then I'd you haven't read the same books I've read, you won't care and you'll love this book and its heart break.

    Insta love with a sad twist. Very much 'brightside' vibes for me. Quick read - one sitting.. not a cliff hanger but not a stand alone. Didn't love, didn't hate.
