Carrie Ann Ryan has brought together two of my most loved series in Crossroads; 'The Wilder Brothers and Ashford Creek. This story is so much more than a romance, it has elements of a suspense thriller. I was sitting on the edge of my seat wondering which direction the story would take.
Synopsis:
Bodhi Ashford has been something of a mystery man. A recluse, living alone on the edge of town, only associating with those who stood by him in his time of need. Accused of murdering his wife and two young children, some town members still believe him to be guilty. To make matters worse, his twin, Malcolm died in a tragic bus accident while on tour with the rock bank Wilder. One can only wonder how much more one person can endure.
Kiera West is a unicorn. She is a female drummer; a really good one. When the opportunity presented itself, she auditioned for the rock bank Wilder. Now she finds herself in a difficult position. She is hiding from an abusive and violent ex-boyfriend who is threatening her life and her career. When a friend offered her to stay in an isolated cabin outside of Ashford Creek, she jumped at the opportunity. Unfortunately, the cabin is owned by a man she believes hates her for taking his brother's place.
What I Loved:
- Bodhi Ashford: A man who has had to overcome great loss. The love of his life and his two children murdered in their own home. He blames himself for not being able to rescue them. He lives with the knowledge of how tragically they suffered. To make matters worse, he lost his other half, the person he began life with, his twin brother. If anyone deserves a win, it's Bodhi.
- The Wilder Brothers and Ashford Creek Connection: I absolutely loved the Wilder Brothers series. It was unique storytelling with some amazing storylines. I get the same feeling when I read any story in the Ashford Creek series. I am really looking forward to future installments.
- Suspense/Thriller: My general philosophy is if it's a book I can and will read it but I tend to fixate more towards romance and fantasy books. I have recently begun to include suspense/thriller novels in my rotation. Crossroads hit a lot of positive points for me. It is really everything I love about reading.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
