Book Review: Crossroads by Devney Perry

Crossroads kicks off the Haven River Ranch series in a spectacular way. I loved Indya and West, how the story was set up, and the incredible build. This is a must-read!

Crossroads (Haven River Ranch #1) by Devney Perry


synopsis_thumb2_thumb
A sweeping small-town romance about love, loss, and a Montana legacy from USA Today bestselling author Devney Perry.

I met West Haven when I was eight years old. He taught me to play poker when I was nine, and we made paper airplanes together when I was eleven. He kissed me when I was sixteen. He was the best part about my family’s summer vacations to Montana. He was the boy who stole my heart. I was twenty-three when life ripped us apart.

Years later, I’m breaking my vow and returning to the ranch, not as a guest but its new owner. West might want me gone, but even he has to admit the only way to save his family’s legacy is with my help.

It’s not easy working side by side and facing those old memories. But this situation is only temporary. We’re at a crossroads. And as long as I don’t let myself fall in love with West Haven again, maybe this is our chance to put those ghosts to rest. Maybe this time we’ll finally be able to say goodbye.

5 out of 5 stars

Crossroads was outstanding! It was a beautiful and emotional story with the most incredible build! I loved how everything unfolded, it was a love story that spanned over time and then culminated into an exceptional happily ever after. There were remarkable details that pulled me in and the storytelling was stellar. This book had me holding my breath and I loved it all.

Indya and West were truly amazing characters. I loved learning about their lives from the past and present and when those moments intersected and paralleled with the present day. The feelings between them ran deep and I felt that longing between them, the pull they had to one another. This story was filled with emotion and so many significant and poignant moments as they got to know each other as adults and connected. It was full of depth and layers and I loved all the nuances taking place.

I loved learning about their different family dynamics and the things that happened in their lives to form who they are. It’s complicated, messy, and real. I felt so much for West’s brother Jax and am really looking forward to his story in Sunlight. Besides Indya’s relationship with West, other aspects are unfolding related to her, and the wait to find out all those details was just as killer as waiting for the two of them to get to their HEA. There's some mild drama along the way, really good steam, and a whole lot of emotion. My feelings were all over the place and I needed more tissues than I want to admit.

This was a descriptive story with exceptional details and I thought it moved at an exciting pace. I was filled with so many questions and I loved that it really built to those answers. I was invested and rooting for them. The ending and epilogue were wonderful, I loved the growth and healing. I thought this was a phenomenal read filled with love and heart and so much emotion! New Devney Perry favorite!
