REVIEW
Ten Year Crush is an adorable quick read.
Gabby aka Thumper and Cam have been friends for ten years, Cam is her
brothers best friend.
Gabby fell in love with Cam early on, she's been in love with him for years but never done anything about it, certain she's not good enough, that he only sees her as a sister.
Cam knows Gabby is in love with him, he feels something for her as well but has kept his distance, afterall she's his best friend's kid sister and he's no good for her.
On her 21st birthday Gabby comes clean with Cam and is shot down, she
decides it's time to try to move on, she's been in love for too long with someone who will never love her the same way.
Now it's Cam's turn to suffer, seeing Gabby with someone else is too much for him, brings out all his feelings and his protective streak.
At this point the back and forth begins, both of them trying to understand their feelings for each other and how they will handle them, now that Gabby has a boyfriend she's confused, she's not in love with her boyfriend but how can she know this is for real an not just jealousy, is Cam really ready to be with her?
Ten Year Crush was an enjoyable read, I read it in one sitting. The characters are real, you can relate to their struggles.

EXCERPT
Gabby walks by the table toting some surfer boy behind her. Anger ignites in my blood and I grind my molars to keep me from doing something stupid, and then grab my beer and take a deep pull.
Cool it, dude. Josh’s baby sister. And it’s her birthday.
Then that damn song comes on. I sit back and watch them out of the corner of my eye. When Gabby pulls him closer, I grip my bottle tighter, my muscles tense.
Mother. Fucker. Now she’s grinding on his leg. And Josh and Tiffany are bickering with each other. I can’t deal with any of this shit. I drain my beer and head to the bar for another one without a word.
“Motivation” by Kelly Rowland starts playing. Do they have to play every fuck-me song out there?
I lean back against the bar and chug my beer. Three drinks and it’s gone. I order another and head back to the table.
Gabby has her back to the asshat now and she’s doing this thing with her hips, moving lower and lower. If I wasn’t seeing red, I’d be rearranging myself.
Damn, she can move those hips.
Isn’t Josh going to do anything about this dude dry-fucking his sister on the dance floor?
Turning again, she’s back to fucking his leg. His hands move to her ass and that’s it, white-hot fury overtakes me. I slam my bottle down on the table making Tiffany jump. Josh gives me a what-the-fuck-is-your-problem look.
