I've read a lot of Riley Hart in the last 12 months (21 Riley books, And even more queer romance by other authors) I LOVE her books, and she's an instant read for me. I've been going farther back into her book history and that's how I landed here with Crossroads. The story is cute, I found the 2 men lovable but not overly so. The challenges they face with their families felt very believable and realistic, but besides that nothing was really remarkable. The steamy scenes were steamy, and I loved their honesty with each other. But something was missing. It didn't capture me like her stories usually do!
It felt a little bit like I was reading a fan fiction or more amateur MM book. I have since realized this book was first published in 2015, and now it all makes sense. This is def an earlier Riley Hart. I would venture to guess if she wrote this story now it would hit totally different, as her writing has greatly improved since this book.
