A young, college student- there wasn't much Clay didn't enjoy in life. He liked avidly savoring their soft skin and indulging in their lush lips, entertaining him during random, lonely nights. Females were never in short supply. A long-term relationship? Naah. The words were not in his vocabulary, or on his agenda. Yet, when a stunning beauty steps into his life, championing for causes he, too, believes in , dating one woman doesn't seem like such a bad idea, after all. Marisole was special. One of a kind. She was also Clay's best friend's friend. A man who warned Marisole about Clay. Still, Clay wants a chance with Marisol, but Marisole doesn't want to date him. How can Clay prove to Marisole he is different from the others? That he is serious about her? Will Clay's reputation keep her at a safe distance from him, with no chance of blossoming into anything beyond friendship? Or will Marisole give him the chance he craves? ** Publisher's Contemporary romance, New Adult, Bad boy, Prequel to the story "New Home" in the book, "Angels and Diamonds."; HFN**
International Bestselling Author, Tamara K. Lawyer, writes under the pseudonym TK Lawyer and was born in Colon, Panama. She moved to the United States with her family to pursue her post-secondary education aspirations and found her love of writing shortly after. She writes sexy, heartwarming, paranormal, and contemporary romances. Her books often toe the line, straying from traditional ideas to open reader's minds and hearts to unlimited possibilities. When she isn’t reading or writing, she is likely spending time with her husband/best friend or catering to their lovable American Foxhound, Misfit, who steals all the attention in their house.
TK Lawyer is an amazing writer with the ability to weave her story and draw you in, within the first page. Crossroads is a page turner and I found myself breathless many times along the way. Her characters are well developed and one can easily visualize them. Marisole being not only a beautiful, strong and an independent woman, she is fiery and passionate. Clay, tall, muscular man, the kind that women can’t resist, falls for Marisole’s strengths and fire. Marisole finds out that there is more to this amazingly handsome man than what meets the eye. They both come from the same backgrounds and both of their hearts passions are for helping others. They both deny their feelings for each other as not to upset their mutually best friend Joey. Their unspoken feelings for each other, leaves you cheering for a confession! Well done, TK Lawyer! Well done!
There is a lot that can be said for this book. I know currently I feel like my heart doesn't know what to think. This was a very heart gripping book and I am still reeling from the ending.
Every turn of the page you find yourself wanting more. When will these characters finally see that they are meant for each other. You can feel the love they have for each other, even though they can't seem to admit to each other.
Story twist through the many friendships and "relationships" of a circle of friends. It's very long with very detailed encounters but lacks conclusion which I think will be in the next book. I would hoping for a bit more character growth, resolution and romance by the end of the story. I received a free copy without obligation and am voluntarily reviewing.
I liked this book enough to keep reading. I liked the give and take between the characters even when one was absolutely clueless. I was not expecting there to be a huge cliffhanger at the end because I was not aware that this was just the first part...that was a bit disappointing to me. The writing was easy to follow and flowed at a steady enough pace. There were a few things that were frustrating for me but it didn't ruin the overall plot. I am sure others will enjoy it more than I did.
Clay Evans and Marisole's story is well written with a great storyline, once I started reading I was not putting the book down. It does end on a cliff- hanger, which I will be reading. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
