Cross is book 2.5 in The Gibson Boys series. This book is told from dual points of view by Cross Jacobs and Kallie Welch.

Cross and Kallie were friends growing up, and started to have feelings for each other. Cross was a party boy, and Kallie wasn't sure if he would grow up. So she ended up leaving.

Something happened in her recent relationship and she returned back home. When she runs into Cross they both start to have feelings for each other again.

Can Cross prove to Kallie he's past his partying ways? Can Kallie learn to trust in Cross? Can Kallie survive a relationship living in a small town where gossip spreads like crazy? Will Cross and Kallie get their happy ever after?

A nice addition

I enjoyed this novella about Cross and Kallie. Short and sweet but still a great story that is worth reading.

I love it how Adriana Locke manages to get so much character depth in the short space of a novella.
This is Cross and Kallie’s opportunity for a second chance. I loved watching them realise that they had both grown and changed and that maybe this time they can make it work.

I loved this second chance romance. Callie comes back to town, and Cross is determined to have her. They do have obstacles because she’s not sure she can trust him, but he proves it to her. I love these Gibson boys!

My poor little heart can’t take it...

So I read Cross in TPA and loved it then and guess what? Feeling is still the same. Cross and Kallie are the pair everyone roots for. Cross, the former, but not so much, bad boy who stole Miss Kallie’s heart fights to get his girl. We all want them to get their HEA! The story may be short, but it’s heartfelt and such a sweet interlinking inside the Gibson world.

Now that short story of Blaire...grr! She needs a book because I’m loving her and Holt and can’t deal with them not seeing things through. Then Kip and Nora, gah! I can’t take it.

Good reads as always. Looking forward to Mach’s book and hopefully the continuation of the two shorts.

Adriana you’ve got work to do. 💕

I loved meeting the Gibson Boys in Crank, which was released last fall, and I was so excited that the author treated us to another guy from that crowd of rowdy boys in Cross. I devoured it! Cross was a fabulous second chance romance set in a small town that doesn't sound too different from the little town I grew up in. Kallie and Cross came across as so real, and even though this was a novella, the characters felt well-developed to me. These two had immediate off-the-charts chemistry, even after many years apart. I also adored getting to meet Kallie's mom- she was so sweet and charming. Can't wait to get to know Kallie and Cross better in future Gibson Boys novels. This series is definitely one of my favorites!
