Nick is about to head overseas on an adventure of a lifetime. It’s what he has always wanted, to travel the world, to experience new cultures, see the places he’s dreamed of for so long. He should be over the moon. Instead, he’s been in a slump ever since he lost his friend Em.
Nick is a player, always has been. The first time he ever wanted more from a girl he was shot down. So now he’s left licking his wounds. Emma made her choice and now Nick has to live with it.
Or does he? When he finds out that Emma is single after all, will he fight for her? Will he be able to convince her to give him a chance? And if he does, what will happen when he leaves?
Nick has reached a crossroads in his life - the girl or the dream. Seems like an easy choice when the girl of his dreams is Emma. But what if she doesn’t see things the same way?
Warning: Mature readers only 18+. Please note: This is the continuation of Finding My Way. The first book must be read for any of this story to make sense.
I have an unhealthy addiction to books, I love to read them, live them and write them. I love books that are full of angst, heartbreak and breathtaking romance, tragedy, everyday issues and not-so-everyday fantasies. I love swoon-worthy bad boys and hot and steamy sex scenes, edge-of-your-seat drama, twists, turns and surprises. And most importantly, happily-ever-afters!
WOW! This book was scorching hot! Fans of the first book will definitely enjoy this one!
With the first book ending in a three-way open street, my emotions were all over the place! I was so relieved to read that Emma and Nick cleared up her relationship status in the first 10% of the book: no sense of running around in circles over that obstacle! I’ve always had a soft spot for Nick. He may be the playboy, but he is completely reformed and only has space in his heart for one girl. In this book, he was sweet, considerate, and protective of Emma; he went all out on his feelings for her, even though he’s already planned to leave in 2 weeks. As a result, Emma is insecure about her growing feelings for Nick and her position in his life. There were times in the book I wanted to just shake her and tell her to make a move, but I understood that this had to be her decision, her step out of the box to reach out to Nick. It was extremely heartwarming to watch their relationship strengthen as Emma starts to trust Nick more and Nick learns to be more open with Emma.
Overall, I absolutely loved it!! The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because I’m more of a plot-oriented gal; I’m game for hot, sizzling, sweet romances like this one, but I wish there was a bit more of a plot to this story. It mainly focuses on the budding relationship between Emma and Nick and how they overcome their obstacles to be together. It definitely didn’t derail me from enjoying this story! Looking forward to the next one!
4 STARS!

This was one hot, steamy romance, that's for sure! The chemistry between Nick and Emma was off the charts H-O-T!!!!! I must admit I was not a fan of Nick's in the 1st book. His reckless and sleazy behavior in the beginning of the first book was hard to swallow, but I've come around to like him. I suppose he won me over in this book. He proved that he was serious about Emma. I believe people can change and grow up. I think Nick still has some more growing up to do, but I enjoyed seeing his character evolve. I also got to see a different side to him in this book. I liked seeing him with his family, knowing how good he is with children, and how he treats his mom and grandmother. He's a sweetheart. I know he's young, but I worry about the fact that he hasn't figured out what he wants to do with his life. I think that's something you need to figure out before you can seriously think about spending the rest of your life with someone. My only beef with the two of them together is how much focus was on their physical connection. Don't get me wrong. I loved their chemistry! It's hard to deny how incredibly hot they were together. However, I didn't see as much as I'd like beyond that. They had great flirty banter and were very playful with each other. However, anyone in a serious relationship knows that the honeymoon phase only lasts so long. What happens when that wears off? Is there enough between them to last a lifetime? I hope so, because they seemed to make each other really happy. I am loving this series and can't wait to see what happens next. I'm especially curious about Seth. With that last teaser about him, I'm hoping we'll find out more in the next book. I still like him even if I now realize he isn't right for Emma. I'm hoping he finds his happily ever after because he deserves one, too! I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a great contemporary romance with strong character development:)

This was a great follow up from 'Finding My Way', which readers MUST read first to understand everything that is going on.
We start off where 'Finding my way' ended and both Emma and Nick are plodding along unhappily with misunderstandings and undisclosed feelings complicating everything. Emma is struggling with what happened with Seth and what could have been with Nick, so when a chance encounter has them crossing paths again their chemistry is still undeniable and possibilities are presented.
We get to experience their many emotions as their relationship grows and they fall in love. It was a little frustrating at times when they couldn't just tell each other exactly what they are feeling and what they wanted, but as the story progressed both characters developed and grew into what each other needed and were able to express themselves.
I thought Emma really came out of her shell as the story went on, she showed more confidence and self worth and it was great seeing her finally accept that she deserved happiness and Nick's love.
Nick went from a player to a man who wanted to love and be loved by the only woman that has ever meant anything to him. I loved seeing the softer side of him and boy, oh boy where those love scenes hot and steamy, the man certainly knows what he's doing.
I loved the duel POV!!! It gives so much more insight into the story and what each character is feeling and experiencing and I thought that Megan Keith absolutely nailed the duel POV perfectly. Megan's writing style is so easy to read and flows so well that you get swept away and before you know it the end has arrived.
I really enjoyed this book and I can not wait for book 3 and see what lies ahead for Seth.
This is the second part of the finding my way series. The first book is a must read before crossroads as crossroads literally continues the story:) I loved finding my way and totally loved this second book. This story is about Nick & Emma. As the name of the book suggests they have come to a crossroads. What way will they go... Well you will need to read this to find out.
As I was reading this book I wanted to bang heads together & I felt like shouting at the characters. Another bonus was I didn't guess the ending. I love when an author surprises me:) This is a fantastic story written by a wonderful author. I am so looking forward to reading the next in the series.
Received from author in return for an honest review.
After not really loving book one in this series I decided to still carry on and read book 2 to see what happens. Btw if you haven't read book 1 there are spoilers! SO here goes..
At the end Seth is extracted from the equation which made me very happy!He just really wasn't doing it for me and the whole situation was annoying me.But now that Seth is out I wanted to see how things would work for Nick and Emma. It was always obvious to everyone BUT Emma that she was meant to be with Nick and Seth who?
“He kisses me like his life depends on it and I kiss him back in the same way because I think, right now, in this moment, mine does.”
I have been a fan of this series ever since Megan requested betas and I became one. I have seen Megan grow as an author and this book is better than the last in my opinion because Megan takes it to a whole new sizzling level with her writing. Like the characters of the series who are on a journey, you can see Megan’s journey as she has becomes a stronger writer. If you haven’t picked up this series yet, do so as you will fall in love with these characters. They are facing real problems and the titles of the book do live up to story contained in them.
Ever since I wrote the review for Finding My Way, I have been angling for this book. I wanted to know if Emma and Nick, the loveable guy who Emma couldn’t get out of head, would get together despite their problems. One half of me wanted Seth to come back but in reality, I knew that the door had been closed. So when I was asked to be a beta again, I could not say no. The teaser in Finding My Way had me intrigued and wondering whether Nick had a chance considering everything that had happened before.
Emma is a mess ever since those events and wants to move on with her career. She finally is where wanted to be in the company and appears to be much happier there. However, Kat and April know that she needs a distraction other than work and take her out clubbing one night. A perfect answer for Kat and April who want to help Em but do not know how to. Em has been playing the avoidance card by avoiding Nick and any reminders to her heartache. Unfortunately, the club has a last minute change and Nick winds up being the DJ which opens up all the old wounds for Em. Nick seizes his chance and exploits her emotions to get another chance with her.
Nick the lovable playboy had met his match and knows that he can’t let Em get away for good. He is willing to risk everything to get Em. However, Em has other ideas and now is playing hard to get because she knows it’s only a matter of days before Nick leaves for Greece. I wanted to throw my computer across the room when I read that. The girl needs a good shaking and luckily Nick gives her a reason to drop her ideas about keeping him at a distance.
Megan Keith’s last book was all about building the story and the characters. This story is where they get down and dirty and discover that Nick, despite being a playboy, doesn’t really have many friends. He has burnt too many bridges so Em offers a new beginning and soon finds herself at a crossroad. She has what she wanted professionally but is that enough for her? Is what Nick is offering her what she really wants?
5 couples to this wonderful story! It is as delightful as Megan’s last book but in a different way and all I can shout is bring on the third book! I’m hoping we get Ethan ‘s story. I’m not saying who he ends up with but it may come to a shock for some. I am left wondering how things are going to play out in the next book because once you read this ending, you’re going to be wondering too what comes next for these characters who have taken a piece of my heart
*ARC provided by the author in exchange for my honest review
Please do NOT read this review if you have not read the first book in the series – Finding my Way as it is full of spoilers and outlines what happened. Book one sets up the plot line and back story so is imperative for the reading of this second book.
When reading Finding My Way it exhausting reading all the POVs, the history and family entanglements but it was upon starting this second book that I found it was well worth the investment of time and understanding. It gave the most intense background that made the reading of this second book like a necessity and I just had to make sure Emma, Nick and Seth got their HEA. It was like coming home and curling up with your most favourite people – in this case Emma and Nick. We were left with Emma ending her relationship with Seth because even though she knew she loved him on some level and he ticked all the boxes she should need to tick but he wasn't for her. On the other hand Nick was totally not right for her, he had no solid background, he was a player and man whore but he made her feel alive and something so much more!
So it was with a heavy heart we left the first book with Seth moving to another part of the country and Nick breaking all contact. So Emma was right back where she started, on her own but this time with a wealth of understanding who she was and what she finally wanted out of life. She would no longer ever be the amenable and compliant girl she had been, this time she was all for herself and making her life what she wanted it to be. But then she sees Nick in a nightclub with his arms around another girl and it sucker punches her in the heart.
Oh I loved this book! I loved both Seth and Nick in book one, obviously for different reasons as they were entirely different types of people but Nick was what Emma needs. This book doesn't really refer to Seth at all (he will get his story in New Beginnings – the third book) but was entirely Emma and Nick POVs. It delved into both their trials and tribulations, their wants and their needs. They really opened up their feelings and although there were still some misunderstandings and insecurities, both were willing to fight for a relationship together and live for now. The only blot on the landscape was that Nick had, whilst they were apart, booked to go on his travels to Europe. So how would a separation again so soon impact on their new and fragile relationship?
We finally get to see some action between the sheets with Em and Nick and oh my wordy how HAWT it was! Nick is a Greek god with a body to die for and the way the author has written the erotic action and intensity was amazing. I want a Nick! Ems is so effing lucky!
I cannot recommend this series any higher, it really is a fabulous storyline. Yes book one is a lot to get through but book two totally rocks it! Brilliant and a well-deserved five star rating from me!
I started this book right after finishing book 1. It picks up pretty much picks up where Finding My Way finished.
Em broke up with Seth because he loved her but the feelings were no mutual, someone had already worm their way in and stolen her heart ......Nick. But Em and Nick are also apart and miserable might I add. A very long list of misunderstandings and bad communication left them both feeling hurt and rejected by each other.
They bump onto each other at the train station where Nick works and the place where they first met. Since the break up of the "Friendship" between the two Em has avoided the train station at all cost until her car broke down. Just as she thinks she has avoided Nick at the station he appears behind her and they have an awkward exchange that left them more confused over the situation and in need of answers.
She goes back to ignoring him after their implosive fight and he sets out to get answers and make right the mess they have found themselves in. After a few explosive confrontation they come up with "the arrangement" we'll no so much Nick but Em and he just went along with it.
How long can two people in love pretend no to be?!? Errr if your Em and Nick not very long their connection and relationship is pretty intense like a volcano ready to explode.........and that is exactly what they did. I loved all their bust up because they always came from a place of love or frustration of their impending separation, when Nick leaves to go traveling indefinitely.
Once again the writing was a joy to read the flow perfect, and the transition between the two POV's effortless. I love this approach of the even prospective. Normally in a book where the male lead makes significant changes a lot of the time their taught process are mostly assumed where as with Crossroads you get the taught process behind every action and reaction. I was able to really connect with Nick's character been able to see how and when the transformation from man whore commitment fobe to falling in love and wanting to spend every second with Em.
The pace was easy to follow and the character development so evident. In book one Em was shy, afraid of what comes next, unsure of herself, just very introverted. But now she really comes to life and blossom wonderfully at the beginning she is still a little unsure of herself but Nick soon dispel all her self doubt with his kind words and loving eyes. She is strong, sexy, beautiful, confident and goes after what she wants and follow her heart which I feel s sometimes the hardest thing to do.
I'm giving this book 4.5 stars the love making was excellent and are tastefully written. Book one had pretty much no sex at all but the one makes up for it and more. Really sweet romantic story with a great realistic ending.
I'm really looking forward to reading more from Megan Keith. Love her writing.
Having read and loved Finding My Way I couldn’t wait to pick up Crossroads and see what would happen next for Nick and Em. Having lost Em in Finding My Way Nick has managed to get himself together enough to finally plan his long dreamed of overseas trip. He should be ecstatic about that, and a small part of him is, but a larger part is devastated that Em is gone.
Funnily enough, Em is equally as miserable, lamenting choices and lost opportunities. A chance run in with Nick leaves both of them wondering whether there may be a future for them together after all.
The story is told from alternative points of view, so we get to know what is going on in each of the characters heads. I’ve said it before, I love this approach. The insight I get from each perspective makes all the difference to my connection to the character. Hearing exactly what Em and Nick were thinking was perfect, although I did want to take them both and shake them furiously on more than one occasion.
I loved Nick. Watching him transition from the ‘player’ to the guy who really felt something meaningful for a girl and didn’t want just a hook up was gorgeous. He was sensitive, vulnerable and we still got to see plenty of his strong and sexy side ... mmmm, plenty!!!
Em really blossomed. She was quite timid and uncertain in Finding My Way, but in Crossroads we got to see a much more confident side to her. There was still the internal dialogue of doubt, but she progressively believed in herself and the circumstances around her and I applauded her courage and creativity many times.
Crossroads is a beautiful, beautiful story about falling in love, about taking chances and about finding a sense of self worth. Megan Keith has a writing style that is an absolute pleasure to read and she builds characters that are relatable and (particularly in Nick’s case!) loveable. She also writes some pretty fabulous sex scenes ... just saying!
You must read Finding My Way first or you won’t understand the significance of much of what happens in Crossroads.New Beginnings is book 3 in the series and from the little sneak peek at the end of Crossroads it will tell us Seth’s story ... can’t wait!
Firstly, I would like to say that Megan Keith has grown SO much in her writing between her first book and this book. In Finding my way, there was a bit too much information. I think that's a common issue with new writers...determining the right amount of story to share. It's either too much or too little. The level of detail is so hard to get right! In Crossroads, Megan found it. It's not too much, not to little...it's just right.
On to the book. If you haven't read Finding My Way, you should. It really gives you the groundwork for Emma and Nick's relationship. We start Crossroads right were Finding My Way left off. Seth is gone and the spark between Nick and Emma is still hot as hell. Except Nick is leaving. Just when they find their way to each other, will it all have to end? They play a game of "friends with benefits" to mitigate the chances of broken hearts...but in the end, they are more than that, and they know it. Is it better to risk a broken heart and enjoy the now? Or to walk away before you are all in? That's the question that they have to answer. I have to say, Emma frustrates me. SO many times I want to shake her and smack her upside the head and scream "communicate!! You damn fool!!!" Ugh. I felt the same thing in the first book. She is just SO, so, so bad at clearly communicating, jumping to conclusions and not asking questions. She instead goes into instant pissed off or shut-out mode. Frustrating as hell. Thankfully, in this book she seemed to mature throughout the book, especially toward the end. She finally figured it out. Thank the lord! I really like Nick. Yes, he's a reformed player, man-whore...whatever. When he is in, though? He is IN. All in. I love that. The sexy time was ratcheted up in this book as well. Which makes sense because Emma is finally with a man who sets knickers on fire! No more of that boring sweet Seth sex. Thankfully in this book we do get an HEA. It's not a cliffy. The next book in the series will focus on Seth. I am hoping he finds a girl who brings him out of his save (boring) shell and makes him go a bit wild!
******5 AMAZING SASSY STARS**** *ARC received in exchange for an honest review* *NOTE: YOU MUST READ FINDING MY WAY BEFORE READING THIS REVIEW.* Fully Review over at Sassy Mum Book Blog http://sassymumbookblog.blogspot.com....
Well what can I say! We picked up from were Finding My Way left us.....Wanting More. Megan Keith certainly delivered with this sequel to her debut novel and brought us a beautiful journey with Emma and Nick. I did enjoy Finding My Way however Crossroads topped the Icing on the Cake. I was all for Emma and Nick to be together. I enjoyed the questionable relationship when both are questioning if they are actually together but too afraid to confront what their true feelings were for each other.
"I don't want to be apart from her for even a second, and when i am she is always on my mind. I have fallen in love with Em and i just know there is no recovering from the heart break that i have set myself up for. I feel like I'm dying inside. Instead of getting excited about my trip, each day my impending departure kills me that little bit more. Every day, i am silently willing Em to reciprocate my feelings, for her to say that she wants me to stay, that she loves me too, and every day i am disappointed."
Throughout the book, I felt the highs and lows with the characters, the emotional roller coaster of a misunderstanding but enjoyed mostly the Make Up Sex. Who dosen't? lol
"Who knew the girl who dosen't like clubbing or doof-doof music could have so much fun with the DJ hey?" ~Nick "I want more than a little fun with the DJ" ~Em
The music throughout this book had fit the book really well which illustrated the characters and storyline. The storyline certainly built up to be a suspenseful emotional ending which literally brought me to a happy "Ugly Crÿ". So happy to see that Emma & Nick had their Happy Ending. It's definitely a book that I would enjoy reading again but also have on my Book shelf.
I look foward to Megan Keith's next installment New Beginnings.
****ARC received in exchange for an honest review****
Is it possible to be in love with a book? Because I think I just might be! Emma and Nick's rocky and intense relationship had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book because I could never guess what would happen next between them next. And lets not forget about sex. Seriously, I think those scenes are firmly etched in my mind for the rest of my life because, oh my! Megan Keith certainly knows how to write the hot stuff.
I really liked book #1 Finding My Way, but Crossroads knocked it out the water at a ridiculous speed. For me, it was a million times better and a definite re-read book for me and one I need to add to my paperback collection. In book #1 I wasn't sure which guy I favoured for most of the book but as it got to the end I was begging the author to PICK NICK! So when I received the synopsis for book #2 it's safe to say there was a lot of squealing going on. And in Crossroads my love for Nick only grew.
I am sooooo in love with Nick. This guy is a Greek God and now he's finally using his heart, it's clear to see how beautiful it is. He has so much love to give and usually I want to shake the guy for messing around with emotions but here I was wanting to shake Emma because Nick knew exactly what he wanted but Emma didn't believe him so kept him at a distance.
These two take frustration to the MAX and I friggin' loved it! There was a lot of fall outs and disagreements (and I mean a lot) but I loved that because like I said before, I was constantly guessing if they were actually going to get a HEA at the end of the book. And of course, after fall outs comes the make up sex. Ladies get fans and ice cubes at the ready because you are definitely going to be needing to cool down.
This book was all kinds of fantastic and without a doubt, you need to read it. I loved every minute from beginning to end. I'm so sad now I've finished but I can't wait to see what Megan Keith gives us next.
WARNING: Watch out ladies, your heart will be stolen in this book and the thief’s name is Nick Kristos.
This book was FABULOUS!!!
So I finished Emma and Nick’s story and feeling sad…because I’m going to miss the hell out of them. I became so attached to these two. You have Emma who is a great female character whom you adore and then you have Nick who just knocks your socks off…or in this case, knocks your knickers off!
She did it again. Megan Keith sucked me in from the very beginning, leaving it impossible to put the book down. She really knows how to get you so involved with the characters that you don’t ever want to let them go.
I’m an avid reader, never without a book and I have to say that author’s like Megan Keith make reading so worthwhile. When starting a new book, especially by a new author, you never know what you’re going to get, sometimes you get a good one and sometimes you don’t. And then if you’re really lucky you’ll hit the mega jackpot and discover one that leaves you wanting more. More pages, more words, never wanting it to end and well that’s how I feel about this book...this series. It has completely won me over.
Even though the next book in this series, ‘New Beginnings’, is Seth’s story and not Emma and Nick’s, I’m so looking forward to it. You can pretty much guarantee that I will read all of Megan Keith’s future writes. It’s because of her fabulous writing & style that I’ve become a big fan.
Like I said in my review for Finding My Way, it’s great to have a story that doesn’t have any angst and drama. I mean as much as I love the crazy too, it’s also so nice to sit down with just a really good story about love and life...especially when it’s so well written!
*Warning: If you have NOT read Finding My Way, this review will have spoilers for you*
This was a great conclusion to Nick and Emma’s story. I felt like I was there with them at times and totally blocked out everything around me while I was engrossed in the story. Well written characters, a well developed plot, and good scene description all came together for a stellar book.
I found Nick and Emma very likeable characters despite their faults. They were realistic, had real life doubts, and real life expectations. There were a few times I wanted to shake some sense into both of them because a lot of things would have been solved by better communication. However, I that just make them more believable as people. Nick is a hot DJ who was a HUGE player in the past but has finally found someone he wants to be with in Emma. I liked a him a lot in this book. He really grew as a person. Emma frustrated me at times with her lack of confidence and not talking to Nick when she had doubts but she learned and grew as well. I really enjoyed following their journey together.
The book was well laid out and flowed nicely. Scenes transitioned smoothly and were described in enough detail to give the reader a nice visual with out bombarding them. All the characters were well developed (even the secondary one). I can’t wait to read Seth’s book and I hope Ethan (Emma’s Brother) gets a book or a novella. I would also like to read a follow-up novella to find out what happens with their relationship in the future and Nick’s relationship with his dad. Crossroads is a 5 out of 5 stars for me. Great job!
Wow ..I love this second book to Finding My Way .... Think I have fallen for Nick totally ...Seth?? Seth who .....
First of all I would like to thank the lovely author of this book Megan Keith for the opportunity to read this arc and provide an honest review :-) I am all for Aussie authors <3
I have to say in Finding My Way I did really like Seth (I pictured Justin Timberlake... :-) )and Nick was just a man whore who I really didn't like too much, yeah he may have been sexy but man whores are so unappealing to me...
This book is from Emma's POV and Nick's POV..Again this book is set in my favourite Australian city Melbourne.... I love the flow of this and found I had easily finished this within 24 hours..
I really liked Emma from book one, I think I am similar in a lot of ways.. she is quite shy but being with the right person can bring out a whole new side to her, playful and confident.. although she still has insecurities like we all do.. her character feels so real..
Nick, what can I say ...this gorgeous Greek boy grew on me in this book... I love his confidence, humour and his romantic side.. but he is leaving for a trip of a lifetime overseas starting in Greece and he doesn't ever do relationships ...
Great read , HOT sex and a fantastic ending I was hoping for ... I can not wait for book 3 and Seth's story next :-)
Crossroads is the sequel to Megan Keith's debut novel Finding My Way.
Usually I'm a hard girl to impress when it comes to sequels. I tend to fall in love with characters right in the beginning and I want them to do things my way NOW. So normally I can't handle the emotional exhaustion that comes with seeing my book loves struggle throughout another entire novel. Now having said that...Wow.
Sexy. Frustrating. Heartwarming. This book had every satisfying component one wants to see in a sequel.
Once again Megan Keith nails connecting readers to her characters. Taking off right from the end of Finding my Way, I dove into Crossroads and again, I felt these characters....I felt them so bad that I had to take a moment to calm the frustrated pounding of my heart to remind myself that they aren't ME.
I knew exactly who I wanted Emma to be with from the beginning and oh god...sweet relief to read this book and FINALLY see the characters end up where I wanted them to. I was so caught up in the story I found myself giving a nod of approval to Keith's writing, petting my kindle and smiling a stupidly big smile at the conclusion.
Five huge stars to Megan Keith. This series is one I'll be reading again and again.
Crossroads is book 2 in the Finding My Way series and picks up where book 1 left off. The main character, Emma is a girl after my own heart. I completely identified with her right from the start of Finding My Way and thoroughly enjoyed watching her story unfold as she struggled with her feelings over Seth and Nick during the first installment. As I read the final chapters of book 1, I was left wanting MORE and thankfully, Megan Keith did not disappoint. Crossroads was a beautifully written continuation of Em's story and I loved the growth that both Nick and Em experienced as individuals and as two people trying to figure out their feelings for one another. You could FEEL the passion and chemistry between them, and you could feel the hurt and uncertainty when things got hard. This is an intense, emotional, and at times STEAMY read about two people trying to find their way in life and love, and should definitely not be missed. I give this series a solid 4.5 stars and highly recommend it! Happy Reading, Y'all!!
I received a copy of this book in exchange For a honest review.
I could not get enough of book 2! I actually enjoyed it so much more than the first book. Now, don't get me wrong I really enjoyed book one but this one was a lot more fast paced and intense! This is a direct continuation of Finding My Way and we see the aftermath of Emma's decision and she FINALLY follows her heart and gives her and Nick a actual chance.
That is not to say that everything is sunshine and kittens for them. Far from it actually! But what a journey they take. It's a learning curve for both of them and gradually they find their groove. We see our favorite secondary characters from Finding My Way and experience more adventures with them as well. I think my favorite part of this book has got to be the charm bracelet scene and when you read it you'll agree wholeheartedly! (I'm pretty sure anyway because it's absolutely adorbs <3) but I love where this series is going. I read the excerpt for New Beginnings and I think it's going to be just as awesome as this one is if not more.
After Finding My Way, we are now left at the “crossroads” of a love that may or may not be able to overcome. Em tries her best to hold on to the love she has for Nick. However, Nick has a hard time allowing that love to overcome the obstacles of things that he never thought would be obstacles. These two have to face hard reality in having your dream may not be all rainbows and butterflies. Sometimes in life, the hard decisions aren’t made easily. These two have been through so much to not get everything they want. But you are lead into having the question of them possibly not wanting the same thing? Or maybe they are a little delusional about how things can work out. Either way, you are left with your gut twisting and your heart swelling for these two characters. Taking the evolving journey of these two characters growing and learning about themselves, their wants, and their love is a journey you won’t regret taking.
Crossroads is the continuation of Emma and Nick’s story. We already know that Emma has been fighting with herself about who she truly wants to be with…now she has the chance to be with Nick…or does she? Nick has been attracted to Emma from day one; but she’s been fighting him every step of the way because he is a player….but even a player can change his ways for the right girl!.
What could possibly stand in the way of the two of them being together now that Emma is single again….Nick is leaving to find out more about his family that’s what! Can these two find happiness even though Nick is leaving for Greece? Can Emma get over her insecurities?
I LOVED every second of Crossroads….it was amazing! During Finding My Way, I was not sure who I wanted Emma to end up with but by the end I knew I did not like Seth! I was so happy to find out that Nick and Emma would be getting their own story!

After breaking Seth’s heart and losing her friendship with Nick whom she lusted, Emma finds herself running into him a month later. This time they decide to be friends with benefits.
Nick has finally decided to go on his trip abroad and leaves in two weeks. If he had only knew that Emma was still single, he would not have book his trip. He is at a crossroad whether or not to take his dream or lose his dream girl.
Emma knows that is temporary and he might never return but she decides she will let herself enjoy him before he leaves. But the more time they spend with each other, they find themselves falling deeper in love.
Will they be able to survive their time a part when he goes off on his adventure? Are these two meant to be or is their love fleeting? Is Nick the one for Emma or is she meant to be with another?
Like an unseen force Megan Keith has managed to capture audiences all around the world with once again another brilliant work following the first installment of "Finding My Way". In the riveting storyline of "Crossroads" I must say that I am, if not, more in love with the characters than I was in "Finding My Way". Torn between heartbreak and love, Emma and Nick take a long journey to discover if their relationship can withstand the many tests life throws at them. Overall a very fantastic read that will leave you undoubtedly happy while enjoying the roller coaster ride Emma and Nick endure through discovering their relationship!
This is the second part of the finding my way series. The first book is a must read before crossroads as crossroads literally continues the story:) I loved finding my way and totally loved this second book. This story is about Nick & Emma. As the name of the book suggests they have come to a crossroads. What way will they go... Well you will need to read this to find out.
As I was reading this book I wanted to bang heads together & I felt like shouting at the characters. Another bonus was I didn't guess the ending. I love when an author surprises me:) This is a fantastic story written by a wonderful author. I am so looking forward to reading the next in the series.
Received from author in return for an honest review.
This book picks up right where book one leaves off. You must read Finding My Way first! Crossroads continues on Emma's journey of finding her way. She's still somewhat confused, still unsure of herself, and still trying to figure out where her heart belongs. This book sails at a quicker pace that the first book. It doesn't take the reader very long to see the direction that Emma is about to take. And lucky for me, it was the direction I had been hoping for. The romance really shined through in this installment. We are still immersed in angst, indecision, and a little bit of stubbornness too, but that was all needed for this love story to find its happily ever after. And it most certainly is a sweet one!
Yes. It was better than the first book. I don't have much to say but...
REVIEW WITH SPOILERS
So it was Nick and Em chance to be together and I LOVED the way it happened. It wasn't like other drama or romance books, ya know - people fighting all the time, wanting to be together but being apart, pretending they don't love each other... CROSSROADS was good because the couple got together and enjoyed the time they have. They hide their feeling at the begining but they gave them the chance to know them as a couple. I just fell in love for them. They were so cute together. Thanks Megan, for this beautiful story.
So I LOVED this book and those of you that were left torn after the first book ended will too! For those of you haven't read the first go get it now and start reading! Nick is handsome, funny, and the typical bad boy that we all are attracted to. Yet he also has a heart of gold and is head over heels for Emma. Emma is completely relatable and I think we can all see a little bit of ourselves in her! I would absolutely recommend this book to everyone! There is an honest friendship, sweet romantic story, and HOT and I repeat HOT scenes. ~ Leslie from For the Love Of Books

In Crossroads Em and Nic’s on-off relationship continues and there’s a deepening of the story as their characters mature and evolve. Em concedes she is hopelessly in love with Nick, yet her heart is shattering knowing he’s heading overseas in a matter of weeks. Nic, ever the player, knows he should be looking forward to his trip, yet he's never felt more depressed. If you’re up for a bit (or more than a bit) of titillation, then Crossroads will not disappoint - it fairly sizzles.
