Picking up this book was 110% a no brainer. I can't get enough of Sarina Bowen, but to get a true north novella is just the cherry on top. I will admit to a little bit of disappointment when I realised that the of the 3 stories in this edition only 1 was new. But I got over it as soon as I picked it up because omg we get more true north.

 

This is the first time in years that I've read a story in third person, and I thought I might struggle with that. But by the second page I was too busy asking what are you going to do next Damien? And being completely smitten by both him and Nicolette.

 

The passing of years had me a little impatient and I can completely see why this book is called crossroads with the number of times these guys paths crossed. I was dying for each meeting to be the time all that insane chemistry came to a head. And then it would pass, and I'd deflate a little. I literally felt like I was holding my breath for half the book, and I didn't want to put it down. Luckily it was a novella.

 

When they finally got on the same pages it was sweet and cute and so perfect. Followed by hot as hell. My only complaint is that it was a novella, and I want so much more. More of his family, more of them together, more of her family falling off a cliff and a certain someone being hit by a bus. But that's always how I feel when I put down a Sarina Bowen novel so now, I just have to wait for her next book.
