A review by scvallese1
Cross by Adriana Locke

5.0

I originally read this novella when it was a part of the Team Player anthology last fall. I love the original version, but it is revised with some added chapters which add more depth to the characters.

Cross and Kallie had dated when they were younger. Unwilling to "grow up", Kallie broke things off with Cross and moved away. Now she has moved back to Linton, and while some things have changed (Cross, for one), not everything has (small-town gossip). Cross is determined to prove himself to Kallie, who is still skeptical about his intentions.

I absolutely loved both Cross and Kallie! They were both so real, and I would love to hang out with this group! I loved revisiting the Gibson boys and getting to know Machlan a little better.

This novella also has a couple of other shorts that Adriana Locke had previously released (through newsletters, I believe). I enjoyed Blaire and Holt's story (Blaire is a Gibson sibling), who run into each other at the airport, as well as with those Landrys. I also very much enjoyed the short with Nora (who works at Crave) and Kip (the cop). Yum!

I definitely recommend this novella!
