ONE NIGHT WITH A ROCK STAR, by Chana Keefer
It's Anne of Green Gables Meets Rattle & Hum. Worlds collide.
When Esther was a young teen with frizzy hair and too-skinny legs, Sky’s music soothed her through awkwardness and pain. During the Glam-Rock 80s, Esther is a College Journalism student and fledgling Print Model. One chance meeting with her Superstar crush rocks both their worlds.
Will Esther's deep roots in Family and Faith keep her feet on the ground when a tornado named Sky blows her world apart?
CHRISTMAS STAR SAPPHIRE, by Hallee Bridgeman
Madeline Viscolli meets Joe Westcott during a campus ministry meeting as she begins graduate school in Alabama. Joe's personal rule of not dating students starts to fade until he discovers Madeline's destiny lay in running her father's massive corporation. After rejecting wealth and all its trappings, Joe struggles against the attraction he feels for Madeline. Madeline knows she loves Joe but is not willing to throw away her destiny of taking over the helm of Viscolli Enterprises. A Christmas Eve funeral washes all Joe's plans away. Will their love succumb to the rising tide caused by their differences in lifestyles, or will raging seas calm and allow them to sail off into the sunset?"
ONE AMONG MEN, by Connie Almony
Samantha Hart’s job requires she live with 500 hard-partying college guys. She can handle the 499, but it only takes one to lead her to danger.
Though Samantha wants to find godly purpose in her life, she is forced to take a position as a resident director of an all-male party dorm at Maryland State University, essentially babysitting pampered party boys rather than changing lives. What she doesn’t expect is to fall for the engaging undergrad who seems to be helping her on the sly. That is when he isn’t hanging out with the resident drug dealer.
PRINCESS, by Staci Stallings
When Heather Nolan learns she will no longer be able to pursue her college degree unless she finds a job, she is so desperate for funds, she takes a job tutoring the college’s all-star basketball player, Anthony Russell. She hates him. He hates English. But all is not as it seems as both of them will soon come to understand…
HARD TO FIND, by Traci Tyne Hilton
Isaac Daniels screwed up his romance with Jane Adler, and then a few more. Starting over at a Bible School in Sweden probably wasn't the best idea. Especially when he manages to lose the pretty girl with the big green eyes, her crazy sister, and his boss’s diabetic nephew.
If he can find the missing students, he can probably keep his job, but the real risk in this hunt is losing his heart.
SHATTERED ROSE, by Tammy L. Gray
Avery Nichols knows how to wear the mask. Perfect student, perfect daughter and perfect friend. Nobody would ever guess that inside Avery is a prisoner to her own self-loathing. Then she meets him…and everything changes. Handsome, charming and self-assured, Jake Matthew sweeps Avery off her feet in an effortless fashion. Avery knows that Jake is everything she needs and all she has ever wanted. She would destroy herself to be loved by him…until he walks away. Broken and lost, Avery meets Parker. His genuine, caring nature reaches past the mask and the shattered pieces of her heart slowly begin to heal. But just when Avery starts to feel whole again, she faces the impossible truth. Jake never really left.

This book is a compilation of some of my favorite novels. That's why they were chosen to be part of this collection. Characters who are real and three-dimensional, dealing with the challenges of life ... and sometimes things I can't even imagine. There is drama. There is fun. There is suspense. And there is LOVE! A great escape while never leaving my living room!!!

*May appeal more to a YA audience. This is a collection of six complete novels from some of my favorite authors. The common theme: What do you do when you reach a crossroad in your life? Genuine, contemporary stories of faith and love but with an edgy twist, it’s not what we want, but what God wants, His plan for our lives. In One Night with a Rock Star, Esther falls in love with her idol, rocker Skye. Told through flashbacks and encounters, this is a complex story of love and loss and hope. Meeting and loving Skye was a fairy tale come true. *Contains scenes of violence, suicide and attempted rape. Christmas Star Sapphire is a continuation of The Jewel Series following Madeline Viscolli’s journey to love. This is a clean, sweet love story of giving up our plans and following God’s plan for our life. I love her take-charge attitude. She is definitely her father’s daughter. Samantha Hart is One Among Men as she takes a job in a men’s dorm where she is outnumbered 500 to one. She finds herself in an environment where drug and alcohol abuse are rampant. All is not as it appears and she is hesitant to know who to trust. She finds herself uncomfortably, attracted to Chris, one of the residents. Danger, drama, and scandal surround Sam. Can she stay safe with a serial rapist on the loose? *Attempted rape scene, instances of drug and alcohol abuse. Princess is an amazing story of overcoming stereotypes and an unconventional friendship. I found this to be an unusual story from Stallings, but one I enjoyed very much. All I can say about Hard to Find is that it is one crazy wild goose chase! Shattered Rose is a heart wrenching story of one woman’s struggle to overcome bulimia. Avery’s story is a good example of someone who has to hit the bottom before she can find her way up and out. She makes one bad decision after another, until I almost gave up hope for her recovery. Her path leads her to Christianity and to Parker. He helps her face her demons as “he picked up every piece of her shattered heart and put it back together with care and precision making it stronger than ever.” *Contains a closed door sex scene and under-age drinking and partying.
*This collection of stories is not for the faint of heart. They deal with uncomfortable topics and situations. The characters are broken, flawed people seeking love, hope, and a reason for living. The stories deal with topics of rape, drugs, alcohol abuse and bulimia.

Oh My Goodness! This box set is amazing. One Among Men! I fell in love with the characters and the storyline. It was real and gritty. This is my favorite kind of book. Romance and mystery all well put together in one package. Well done Connie!
Shattered Rose!! Another real and gritty story that I absolutely loved and stayed up way too late reading it. In fact, I have read all of Tammy's books. They are all page turners. Can't go wrong with her books.
Christmas Star Sapphire is a great book by Hallee Bridgeman. I have read all of her books in that series and loved them all. This book is another great read!
That is all the books I have read in the series. I plan on reading the other three very soon. I highly recommend this boxed set.

Fantastic collection of books by some great authors! Definitely worth your time and the price! These authors are wonderful at writing about the nitty gritty of Christian life (the mistakes we make as well as the redemption we receive) all while including some sweet, swoon worthy romance. Take the time to check it out! You’ll be glad you did!

This is an absolutely delightful collection of stores by some outstanding authors. Each story is a combination of wonderful characters, romance and faith that made for some very enjoyable reading. I was given a copy of the collection in return for an honest review, and I definitely recommend the set to the reader who enjoys really good Christian romance.

There comes a time in your life when big decisions need to be made. You ponder whether to take the high road or the low road.
These seven novels show characters in various circumstances facing this dilemma, with God's help they persevere.
Nice collection that I enjoyed.

These authors will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next in these amazing stories. The characters in each story are very special people. You will feel God working throughout these books.

Each one of these novels is already a proven best seller. From USA Today Best Selling author Staci Stallings to the multiple best sellers of each and every one of the authors included in this collection, the heartwarming tales and encouragement toward morality are a much-needed and much-appreciated addition to any bookshelf or reading device library. Yes, my novel is included in this collection but the reason I was eager to be included in the Crossroads collection is due to the excellence of writing and pure joy of reading the work of the amazing Stallings, Connie Almony, Hallee Bridgeman, Tammy Gray & Traci Hilton.
In a world of quick mediocrity, these novels and these authors are GEMS!

Amazing!
So many great stories!! I enjoyed every single one. The books had many deep topics and forgiveness and the love of a wonderful Heavenly Father, but I don't think I would let my teenager read some of them.

Wonderful read.
I truly love this story. The people were believable and the mystery of how it end was not always evident. Plan to read more by this author.
