Very sweet, a complement to the series, and no longer than it needed to be. Some other reviewer complained about the shortness, which I laughed at. It's right there in the details if you look. Having read obviously-padded-for-wordcount stories, I'll take short over padded any day; those are universally awful. My only real critique is that there's little mystery despite the timeframe. But, not every story needs to be emotionally challenging. If you've read the other Crossroads books, read this one. It's fun seeing the other characters, too. ( )

This story is set in my favorite trope - second chance. But not really when the other guy doesn't know you are 'in-to-him'. Beck is a motorcross star, trying to find his racing mojo after all the media circus around his coming out. Christian is the HS friend he had a secret thing about. Beck and Christian have this insta-chemistry that is more than just friendship. Once they both recognize it, boy oh boy, do they make up for opportunities missed.

I love novella formats especially when life doesn't give me time to read in one sitting. So what's my complaint? Yeah, it's I wanted more. The story felt a bit rushed in places so that it gave the reader a complete story. However, I love this author's story telling and if you are reading the Crossroads series, this book is definitely recommended. ( )
