## STELLAR. I loved this book. What an amazing love story between Bryce and Nick. Both guys were hot and their chemistry was undeniable. Yes, there is a lot of m/m sex but this was so beautifully written. I didn't really like Christy (the best friend who was also an ex). She was a little too involved in Bryce's life for me. And of course somebody should've shaken some sense into Nick's narrow minded mother! But without conflict, there'd be no book. I will definitely read again and if you like this one, I can also recommend "Collide" by this same author. Well done.

I absolutely loved this book! I could not put it down. These are two wonderful characters, I loved how they were so willing to explore thus new relationship. I honestly don't know if this is something that happens in real life; straight men falling in love with each other. However, I liked that it presented the possibility that life can bring you happiness in ways you never considered. When that possibility is before you, it is not always easy to take the risk to explore it, but if you do, you might just get what you have always been searching. I would like to hear more about Nick and Bryce's story. I especially liked Bryce' s fun and just embracing outlook on life.

Crossroads is book one in the Crossroads series by Riley Hart. This is my very first book by this author. It was very highly stressed to me that I needed to read this book. That this book would rock my world. And YES, it did. Thank you, Karen. I’m so glad I listened to you.
Nick Fuller is getting ready to live alone for the very first time in his life. Nick is thirty years old and is a chef in his own restaurant. He’d been with the same girl since he was seventeen. But their marriage ended, badly. Nick is the youngest and only son with three older sisters, all married. He’s very close to his family but his mother is very traditional. Women and men have their place in a marriage.
Bryce Tanner is thirty two years old and owns his own motorcycle shop. Working on motorcycles is his passion. But it might have taken Bryce a little longer than some to figure it out. Bryce lives life to the fullest. If he wants a woman, he goes out and finds one. He is also the youngest sibling with two older, married brothers. His mother wants nothing more than for her youngest son to get married and give her some grandchildren.
Nick and Bryce are neighbors, living in a duplex and sharing a back yard. They become fast friends and Bryce decides it’s his job to help Nick to experience life. To help him meet women. But after a few failed attempts, they both discovered that they had more fun just hanging out. They had so much in common and they made each other laugh.
“It was strange; usually it took him a while to warm up to people, but he felt comfortable with Bryce from the start.”
Neither Bryce nor Nick had ever been attracted to a man before. They were both straight men. But as their friendship deepened, feelings began to develop. They started noticing things about each other that they shouldn’t notice about another man. They couldn’t understand what was happening. Why now and why this man? But neither wanted to fight it, neither wanted to walk away.
“His whole life he’d tried to have as much fun as possible. What he didn’t realize was, he didn’t even know what fun was until he’d met Nick.”
When Nick and Bryce were alone, in their own little bubble, they found something they had never had before with anyone else. But unfortunately, they couldn’t stay that way forever. They were both close with their families and were certain they wouldn’t take it well.
“What is it about you? Why do we both feel like this? What is going to happen if we keep this up? Why does it feel like my whole life was spent waiting for something, even though I didn’t know it until now?”
I am just in love with this book, with Nick and Bryce. I loved the way they approached the sexual part of their relationship, like an adventure. It was adorable and freaking hot! They had no idea what to do and had so much fun figuring it out. Together, they just fit in every way.
“It’s like you filled this place in my world that I didn’t know needed to be filled. I didn’t even know it was there before you came and claimed it. Wanting you is the only thing I’m sure of.”
If you enjoy this trope, you just have to read this book. I sighed, I swooned, I smiled, a lot! Nick and Bryce just stole my heart. Their road wasn’t always an easy one. But as long as they are together, they will find a way. The next book in this series is called Shifting Gears and features Rod, who works in the adult toy store that we met briefly in this book.

Crossroads is my first read by Riley Hart and what a great start. Two guys, Nick & Bryce, move into a duplex and their lives are at the same Crossroads. Riley Hart has written a sweet story about how being willing to join someone at the crossroads and explore the twist & turns can lead to a wonderfully unexpected love. Nick & Bryce are opposites in a lot of way but end up completing the other with their wiliness to be happy together. I would tell anyone to read this wonderful story. I will be trying more of Riley Hart's storytelling because I loved this one.
Thanks Riley Hart & Good Writing

Another excellent read from Riley Hart. It made me smile and it made me cry. These two men are on a journey they never thought they would take. They have highs and lows, but the best part is that they choose to stick by each other and discover where this crazy road is going to take them. A story of true soulmates. I highly recommend. On a side note, because I like to know this going in, there is very detailed sex scences, but nothing I would consider trashy.

Why are you reading my review? Read this book ! I am not going to make you read thru to find this part out: I LOVED this book. It came recommended by a friend that was pretty enthusiastic. I've got to say she did not steer me wrong. There isn't anything different or intriguing about the storyline. It is a very typical romance HEA. So, why am I so over the top in love with this book? It's the writing and the journey you get to experience with Nick and Bryce.
Nick and Bryce meet, become best friends, and slowly realize they have deeper feelings than just friendship. Both Nick and Bryce have issues that hinder their ability to trust and commit. But, the fact they are both straight moving to a same gender relationship isn't the core conflict. Yes, there are issues with acceptance but Ms. Hart doesn't spend all the energy not that typical angsty storyline. I could connect with both Nick and Bryce's dilemmas as they moved forward. I could spend time summarizing the story, but I don't want to spoil any part of the read. Just pick this book up. I will say one of my favorite parts was how the author had the men deal with one minor conflict. Just like men: "I'm sorry." "I know." I love you." "I know that, too."
If you are looking for a HEA romantic read, this story is for you. It's got everything you want. Sweetness, some sadness, funny lines and some very steamy scenes. Thank Riley Hart for such a fantastic novel!

Once I started I couldn’t stop…..Ms. Hart as once again captivated her audience with a brilliant love story.
Bryce & Nick are at the top of my BBF list. Bryce is fun, loving & always living life to fullest where Nick is quiet, reserved and likes to be looking on from the outside. Their friendship was real, their banter was hysterical & their first kiss was priceless.
I adored how Ms. Hart gave us the “birds eye view” of all of their first – We got to be there when they navigated unknown territory. Hart’s detail into what & how they were feeling was phenomenal, which made it feel real. She gave us details that most would have skipped – to every tasteful kiss, to every shuddered touch, to every small doubt – she gave us every emotion that makes a good book great. You will laugh of loud with the humor, fan yourself from the HOT scenes and bite your nails when you think they have lost hope.
I loved the entire book from the 1st page to the last. The epilogue gave me goose bumps when I read it and with that came my favorite quote “It’s a crossroads, Bryce. Which way are you going to go?” ********sigh******** I heart them!!!!!
Fantastic job Ms. Hart. You are freaking fantastic and I will forever be a fan! Thank you for sharing your boys with the rest of the world.
