About TEN REASONS TO STAY

One day a week—Thursdays—my husband and I could do whatever or whomever we pleased. Protection was non-negotiable. And no matter what, we had to be home by midnight. Jack was the one who wanted an open marriage, but we were supposed to keep things simple. No strings. No commitments. It seemed so easy…until it wasn’t. Devilishly handsome Cole Blackwater was only supposed to be a fling, but everything about him made me feel alive. Wanted. Seen. When I realized he was my husband’s boss, I should have broken things off right then…but I didn’t. One day a week, I could pretend that I was his and he was mine…until Cole wanted more. But how could I decide between the man I’d promised to love, honor, and cherish, and the man who tempted me to break every single vow I’d made?

 Review-
This was the type of book that grabbed at me immediately. An open marriage? I mean, I know some may be a bit uncomfortable but I just had to know more. Corrine is devastated the day she learns her husband wants to venture into an open marriage arrangement. She loves him deeply but it’s either succumb to his demands or risk him doing it anyway. Such a lovely husband, yes?

The night she decides to look into that lifestyle she meets Cole on Tinder. But as fate would have it, he’s the husband’s new boss. Her life is changed forever when they move to the Upper East Side in New York. There Corrine and Jack decide to make an arrangement for Thursday—and only Thursday—to do whatever and whomever they want. Another rule, they have to be home by midnight. 

Do these type of arrangements ever end up working in the end? Lines start to get blurred and at every stop, it feels as if someone is being betrayed. I felt the angst, the heartbreak, and the frustration while reading this story. Frustration for the heroine and her husband. The storyline was interesting but the forbidden aspect of it was completely delicious. 

It kind delves into the question about marriage, love, and knowing when something just isn’t right. No matter how long you try to hold on to it. It surely made me think. Open marriage is not something I would ever be able to do. Then again, Corrine never saw herself being in this type of relationship either. I guess you never know what it’s like until you’re put into that situation. Good thing my husband doesn’t like to share ha-ha. 

There’s no question about whose team I was on and in the end I’m glad the best man won out. If these types of plots make you uncomfortable, this may not be for you. But I hope you try it out because it’s not as bad as you would think. The book reminded me of the What He Doesn’t Know duet by Kandi Steiner. Two completely different books and different plot lines, but the angst and the feels were right up there with it. 

If you haven’t already guessed, this book destroyed me in all the best kind of ways. Do yourself a favor and pick it up!
