I loved this one! Something about second chance and angst! This one also got me all in my feels because I related so much to what was going on with Indy and her father. Full tears! Also I just loved this setting and the vibes - gimmee all the cowboy! Can’t wait to see where we go either Jax!

“Hi, West.”
“Hey, Indy.”

THIS!!!! This is how you write a second chance romance.
ALL THE STARS 🥹 West & Indya are everything. I loved this book so much, it had me up til 1am to finish it!

“It felt like I’d been missing Indya my whole life.”

Crossroads had hooked me from chapter one. The angsty feels, the ranch setting, the past and present timelines that flowed effortlessly together.

The emotion this book put me through. I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for answers, waiting to find out why things happened the way they did and when it all came together it did not disappoint! MY HEART.

“I wish too, baby.”
😭😭

The emotion, tension, heartache, longing and wishes this story swept me away and I couldn’t put it down.

This was a really enjoyable read full of emotion and angst!

Our couple first meet as kids as Indya and her parents take their annual holiday at West's family's ranch. We see their bond develop over the years as they reunite each summer.

Now, in the present, Indya is the new owner of the Haven family ranch, which West is having a hard time coming to terms with as he's blindsided by the news of his father making the sale. There's a lot of tension and animosity between the couple, but underneath it all the longing and desire still remains.

Following this couple throughout the years, seeing their connection grow and how they ultimately find their way back to each other in the place they both love so dearly was very heartwarming!

"That was how it had been between us. We belonged to each other. Even when we didn’t."

I finished this a few days ago and I’ve found myself still thinking about it occasionally. I was so pleasantly surprised by this book.

This was a great childhood friends to enemies to lovers/second chance romance and throwing in the cowboy angle really just made it better in my opinion.

This book dealt with difficult topics such as family drama, grief, and loss by beautifully weaving it through the small town romance storyline.

I also loved the dual pov and the flashbacks to different timelines so we could get a better look at the main characters backstory.

This was the first interconnected standalone in the Haven River Ranch series and I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in the change for an honest review.

4.5! I really enjoyed this one! I love Devney’s Montana romances. Second chance romances are my favorite. West and Indy’s story. They have secretly loved each other since they were kids but it just never lined up. Swoon worthy

childhood friends. second chance. small town. i trust devney to always deliver when these tropes are involved! this book was sweet and heartwarming.there was lots of longing and pining, and i was here for that too! indya and west’s love story was full of everything i love about a second chance romance!
indya and west meet as children over a summer, and slowly they develop a friendship. and each summer after turns into multiple summers filled with firsts. but as adults, they meet and things have changed drastically. now they get the chance to have a lifetime of firsts instead of summers of fleeting moments.
devney does small town so well! from the beginning i was in love with west and indy and their love story.

When I say, I ATE THIS UP!! A fantastic start to what sounds like an incredible new series, I absolutely devoured West and Indy's story. There was a lot of depth within these two characters, starting from a very young age and this beautiful second chance allowed them to reflect on what could have been and what now can be after years apart and growing separately. This was a delicious romance that will have your heart feeling every emotion possible. West is the most perfect cowboy and the way Dev describes him? SWOON WORTHY. New favourite book boyfriend has been created! I'm incredible excited about this series and can not wait for Jax's.

5 ⭐ 2 🌶

It's been a minute since I read a book in one sitting, but Crossroads was impossible to put down. West and Indya had my heart from the moment they showed up on page.

The mystery of this one threw me a bit. I thought I had it alllll figured out and then Devney was like, well, actuallyyyy and while I wasn't surprised that was the real truth, I still didn't see it coming. She hooked us along chapter after chapter, flash back after flash back and slowly brought us into the know and it was so well done.

This one made me a little teary. It's a fairly emotional read, especially if you've dealt with any of the topics within. The love that these two had for each other, even as kids, was palpable and the things dreams are made of. At times they felt so star-crossed and so when they finally said those three little words my heart just melted. I could honestly read about these two day after day.

This is my first Devney book, but it certainly won't be my last. While I wait for Jax and Sasha's story I'm gonna dive into her back list and see what other gems she has out there.

MY HEART!!

No one can suck me into a cowboy romance like Devney. I loved seeing West & Indy fall in love. They weren’t meant for each other & I was meant to read this book!!

Devney, you’ve done it again.

Indya spent a week a summer at a secluded Montana ranch during her formative years. Returning divorced and as the new owner was not in her original life plans, but she feels called to do so for her father, for her memories, for West Haven. The man she's admired since youth is no longer as welcoming of her, in fact the moment he hears the news of her purchase all heck breaks loose, but the pull between these two is like lightning striking.

I absolutely love a romance set on a ranch, there's something about it that feels like home to me after growing up in a small country town. While my horse riding days were predominantely in my youth, like Indya, it's the people and the memories that you cling to. Those summers marked happiness in Indya's life and the way Devney takes us into the past and ties those memories to the present was so beautifully done. I could feel the nostalgia from the pages, even as Indya and West squared off. Of course, it wouldn't be a romance if these two didn't have heat just licking up the edges of the pages. Indya and West have always had something, it may have been fleeting in the past, but it was something. While there's years between their last visits and their lives have changed, that something is still there and I really enjoyed watching the sparks catch and fly once again.

This one has a lot more heart to it, with a past of pain that Indya must work through and a rough family connection that West just wants to ignore. Crossroads tells a story of family bonds, first loves, and the way timing truly does work how its meant to. I really enjoyed this one, in fact I read it in one fast sitting with tears in my eyes, and I cannot wait to see where the rest of the series goes.

Crossroads is the first book of the Haven River Ranch series of interconnected standalones. This was my first book by this author and I devoured it in one sitting! I can’t wait to read more by them! I loved how this book went back and forth from past to present so we could learn more of West and Indy’s childhood relationship. You could tell how much they meant to each other and how special the ranch was to both of them. The angst and tension between Indy and West was so great and I was here for it!

I’m not gonna lie, there were some emotional topics discussed and had me crying my eyes out towards the end. I was so connected to these characters and felt all of their emotions. I think listening to the audio while following along with the book also helped me connect more. Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais both did an excellent job of portraying Indy and West and bringing them to life for me.

Can I rate more than five stars? Because if NetGalley had that option, I would. nThis was the absolute best way to start a new series. I don't know how Devney Perry's books keep getting better and better, but they do. If you love cowboy romances, small Montana ranches, second chances and tons of sexual tension, then Crossroads needs to be your next read!

Crossroads was the first romance in a long time to truly surprise me. Usually I can see where the story is going, but there were so many good twists, turns and surprises, that I never knew what would happen next. Told in dual POV with multiple timelines, the secrets between West and Indya slowly unraveled and had me immediately obsessed with their story.

"I stared because I knew how fleeting it was to see his face. How much I missed it when he was gone. Collisions on crossroads. West and I were nothing but collisions on crossroads. Sooner or later, our paths would drift apart again. We never seemed to be going in the same direction, and this time was no different. He’d stay because he belonged. I’d leave because I didn’t."

West and Indya are the epitome of opposites attract. I love a grumpy, stubborn hero and West Haven had that in spades. Indya was the only one that could break him out of his shell, with her kind heart and determination. There was so much yummy sexual tension and angst between the pair, I was happy that the spice hit earlier than anticipated.

My heart hurt for Indya. Even though she grew up with money, she never quite felt like she belonged anywhere. Even though she was strong AF, I completely related to her strength in the face of being dealt a tough hand. If ever there was an embodiment of TS's "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart," her character would be it.

Haven River Ranch feels so real. I could clearly picture it in my mind and I honestly would die to go on vacation there. The supporting characters weave such a tangled web and I cannot wait to see where the series goes next.

⚠️ CW: parent with cancer, cheating (off page)

I was not expecting to love this as much as I did?? My favorite Devney Perry book that I've read so far. This was second chance / childhood friends to lovers and it was *CHEFS KISS* Usually flashback chapters don't do much for me in terms of plot development but I thought they were really well done here. I can't wait to see what is in store for us next!

Beginning when she was a child Indya and her family would spend their vacation on a ranch in Montana and a friendship developed between her and West, the owner’s son, who was two years older. Over the years that friendship developed into love however his place was on the ranch and her place was at home where she could be close to her parents.

The next times their paths would cross was when West learns that Indya is back not as a guest but as the new owner. Lack of finances have allowed it to deteriorate however Indya is determined to recapture the magical place that holds so many happy memories for her and her family. She was prepared the resistance from West and the employees, but she never expected how difficult it would be to protect her heart.

Now that Indya and West are at a different stage in their lives, they might just have the opportunity to rewrite the mistakes of the past and find a path forward. The emotional pull, both with each other and their families, will not leave you unaffected as the story transitions from past to present and the feelings they have always had for each other.

What a wonderful story to start out this new series from Devney Perry!

Crossroads is Book #1 of the Haven River Ranch series, and it was just a wonderful introduction to this new world! And I absolutely enjoyed watching West and Indya get their happily ever after they deserved. Normally, I don't like when stories go back and forth between past and present as it can get a bit confusing, but in this situation, it was absolutely necessary and done so flawlessly, for the reader to get the whole story of Indya and West. I loved seeing how they fell for one another in their younger years, but also how they reconnected upon her unexpected arrival back at the ranch. So many feelings between them, and even though there was some animosity toward Indya at the beginning, you could tell that West was always trying to hide the love he had for her that never went away.

It was just a feel-good, second-chance, small-town, friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romance that I just adored. Definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that I truly adore any story that comes from the brilliant mind of Devney Perry. Her latest release, Crossroads, is no different. Told in flashbacks from the present timeline through our heroine (with an ‘e’) and hero’s alternating POV along with flashbacks told from the POV of Indya during trips spent in Montana from her childhood and through her adolescence.
Indya is our heroine. She’s an only child to a loving set of parents, although throughout her flashbacks we see her grapple with her father’s cancer diagnosis. At the young age of 8, Indya spends her first vacation in Montana on a ranch. There she meets West, who teaches her how to play poker and genuinely helps distract her from the overwhelming feelings that come with having a parent with a severe illness.
In the present timeline, Indya isn’t as welcome to the ranch as she was when she was a kid. As the new owner, she isn’t getting the warm welcome either. West, his brother Jax, their father, and the rest of the workers on the ranch are less than thrilled at the prospect of having an outsider in their midst. Even with all their history, West isn’t just hurt by his father’s deception by selling out his legacy, West is also unprepared to be so close to Indya with so much that was left unspoken between them.
Crossroads is a beautiful title and a wonderful metaphor for so many themes within this gorgeous romance. I immediately fell for both Indya and West and the intense magnetism that occurs between them. I loved that not only was this a makeover for the ranch, but it was also a transformation for Indya as well. The romance that rekindles between both West and Indya as well as the love that Indya holds for the ranch becomes more apparent the deeper into Crossroads readers travel.
I am hard-pressed to put any novel by Devney Perry down and this story was no different. I was easily and quickly swept away by the story, the characters, and the love of the land that is felt by all characters. If Crossroads is just the start of a new series, then I cannot wait to see what Devney Perry has in store for us all with the rest of the Haven River Ranch series.

I love a second chance romance, especially when it’s a second chance at first love, and boy oh boy, did Devney Perry give a truly amazing one in Crossroads. I was hooked from page one. The intense chemistry between Indya and West made the build-up of their romance completely addictive, and their love story was a wonderful blend of heartbreaking and heartwarming. This unputdownable romance captured my heart!

An addictive and enthralling second chance romance with undertones of grief and loss, Crossroads was angsty, steamy, romantic and positively brimming with feels. Devney Perry’s breathtaking storytelling was on point, and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. This was such an amazing start to the Haven River Ranch series. I loved every word of this story, and I am eagerly anticipating the next book in this series.

5+ stars!!!

you cannot tell me you're at all surprised i loved this book so much. however, *i* was surprised to realize this book might beat indigo ridge AND steel king as my fave of devney perry's enemies to lovers books! west & indya have my whole heart. i love them & their story so SO much!!

i feel like this book was written just for me. an emotional second-chance love story with a cowboy hero, heavy on enemies to lovers vibes, and a sprinkle of forced proximity? perfection. indya & wests's story was a wonderful mix of angsty and spicy; it was full of pining, mutual longing, loss, a full spectrum of emotion (VERY heavy on the emotion) and, ultimately, so much heart.

this book was such a nostalgic read, but it was so different form any other devney perry book i've read, it also felt so fresh and unique! i love that the family dynamics are set up to be so different in this series, and that the romance in this book took centerstage.

indya & west's relationship has run the gamut over the years-from childhood friends to lovers to enemies-and their connection was a tangled-up ball of desire, anger, love, and angst that took time and effort to unravel. the way they love is beautiful. going on this journey with them was so so special, i have an enormous amount of love for them and their story!!

thank you, devney perry, for writing such a spectacular book!! i can't wait for the world to fall in love with west & indya's story next month!

I met West Haven when I was eight years old. He taught me to play poker when I was nine, and we made paper airplanes together when I was eleven. He kissed me when I was sixteen. He was the best part about my family's summer vacations to Montana. He was the boy who stole my heart. I was twenty-three when life ripped us apart. Years later, I'm breaking my vow and returning to the ranch, not as a guest but its new owner. West might want me gone, but even he has to admit the only way to save his family's legacy is with my help. It's not easy working side by side and facing those old memories. But this situation is only temporary. We're at a crossroads. And as long as I don't let myself fall in love with West Haven again, maybe this is our chance to put those ghosts to rest. Maybe this time we'll finally be able to say goodbye.

Holy sh*t you guys... this book is so good!! I cried so much 😂

I'm really not usually a fan of second chance because often it is one massive miscommunication that could have been easily fixed (not the case here), and I especially don't love flash backs because I feel like they take me out of the story. THIS WOMEN K*LL3D IT PEOPLE!! The flashbacks flowed SO well with the story, I was pulled right into them! West and Indya are amazing! Their chemistry is off the charts, I couldn't put them down! I am so impressed with this book, it completely blew my expectations out of the water! It's so emotional, so beautiful, it's funny, it's spicy, it's amazing!

This book comes out June 4th so pre-order your copy today!! You seriously won't regret it!

Thank you @netgalley for this opportunity!

I really enjoyed the Edens series by Devney Perry and I was so excited for this new series by her!! I loved the small town/cowboy aspect and the childhood friends to lovers part made me want to keep reading.

Ultimately though I felt like the past timeline was a little too short and didn’t convince me of their connection. There was also a good bit of spice that felt unnecessary and the end felt rushed.

I did really enjoy the HEA and epilogue though! And I am excited for the next book in the series! I will definitely be reading it!
