Whole Latte Love by Kari Trumbo
Seoul Refuge by Alana Terry
Guardian of Her Heart by Carol Moncado
Random Acts of Shyness by Chautona Havig
What I think about this collection:
If you have yet to read a Crossroads collection stop what you are doing and get this book NOW! I think I am enjoying these collections more with each new one. This contains six stories all tied together by Betwixt Two Hearts, the book and the dating service
Betwixt Two Hearts was unexpected, I love the twists that Tru put in. I also LOVED how she didn’t hold any punches when it came to Faith. “ What you think of God doesn’t change who He is” the story was not only a pleasure to read it also made to think harder about my faith
The Swedehearts Glory Quilt was an interesting story, I love how Eleanor grew during the story, I also loved her Aunt Violet, she would be someone I would want to spend time with!
Whole Latte Love was such a hard story, I wanted to fuss at Drew so many times. Addie was such a great character. I enjoyed how the story came together.
Seoul Refuge was not your typical romance, however it was OHHH so good. A perfect Terry story with Mystery, Danger, and Romance.
Guardian of Her Heart, Oh my goodness! Mark needs his happy ever after and this story was so much to watch play out!
Random Acts of Shyness is set in Havig’s Rockland, with friends that I am always happy to pop in on! Heath is such a loveable goof! I love how he just spouts random facts ( and his story may have inspired me to get my son to tone down on the his random factoids)
If you have read any of these authors you know what a treat you are in for, if you have not had the pleasure I highly recommend that you start right here!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Celebrate Lit, this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.

More from Chautona
“I’ve got a new idea for the next CrossRoads Collection, and I think it might be perfect for your bladder guy.”
Excitement? Total understatement. Giddy—that’s more like it. Totally giddy when I “hear” (read) Amanda Tru say, “I’ve got a new idea….” Without skipping a beat, I typed back, “Let’s hear it.”
As the idea burst into my messenger box, I knew she was right. A matchmaking website? Perfect for a shy guy with an unfortunate coping mechanism that ensures that he has a string of first and only dates in his back pocket. You can read about that story, here.
I had two months to write it—and had two other books to finish in the meantime. YIKES! Still, I had to do it.
I almost made it, too.
For those who don’t know about the CrossRoads Collections, they feature five or six books (of varying length from short novella to full-length novel) and the final (or in the case of Betwixt Two Hearts, the first) book interconnects all the others. Each collection stands alone, and each story in the collections stand alone, but that one book in each collection ties all the others together in a unique, brilliant way that only the lovely Amanda Tru could manage.
We began with Out of the Blue Bouquet, which tells of five floral fiascos and one florist who causes and redeems them all.
Then came Yesterday’s Mail which features five accounts of lost or misdirected mail and the postal worker tasked with fixing it all.
Of course, when Christmas came around, we needed a good Christmas collection, so our first kicked off with Under the Christmas Star. This collection features five ornaments and the stories connected to each.
Next, we combined forces to do a little matchmaking, and kicked off this collection. Betwixt Two Hearts in a story of a matchmaking website and the people it connected, not to mention the entrepreneurial pair that can’t agree on how to run it!
Of course, weddings are lots of fun, so we came up with The Wedding Dress Yes. In it, you’ll meet CrossRoads’ fabulous new bridal designer who thwarts the efforts of a shop owner still stuck in the eighties with dresses that ensure more social distance than most couples care to have on their wedding day.
And most recently, the When Snowflakes Never Cease collection features a snowstorm that sweeps across the nation during Christmas week and tries to prevent two people determined to find someone in the midst of all that frosty carnage.
I’ve loved writing for all of these collections, but my novel, Random Acts of Shyness in the Betwixt Two Hearts is probably my favorite.
All of the CrossRoads Collection books are available on Kindle Unlimited, and several are just .99 to purchase.
The CrossRoads authors invite you to pick up one of the collections today. We recommend starting with Betwixt Two Hearts while it’s still available in one, inexpensive collection.
