Crossroads is the first instalment in a new series by Devney Perry. I have had her previous series on my TBR for a while but yet to get around to them so was excited to try her new series. Crossroads is a sweet, easy romance that was exactly the kind of book I was looking for when I picked it up. It follows West and Indya as they navigate their second chance romance when Indya returns to West's small town and takes over West's family ranch. This is a really good small town romance that has just the right amount of angst and spice. Recommend to anyone looking for a new small town romance series.

Haven River Ranch is my new dream destination! This book was so amazing!

A second chance romance with friends to lovers to enemies and back to lovers is my favorite trope!

West and Indya's story is so relatable and had me reminiscing about my own childhood crush. Deveny's writing is detailed and captivating! I loved all the flashbacks and felt they added depth to the narrative!

Devney..PLEASE 🙏🏼keep these amazing small town romances coming!

Really enjoyed this one! It was great to be in a new Devney series and I’m excited to see the Haven River world grow. This was an angsty childhood friends to lovers, right person wrong time whirlwind.

You get the broody cowboy, the strong FMC, and a whole crew of supporting characters. It’s a ranch setting and it really made me want to take a trip to Montana.

My one wish is that I wish the MCs communicated more about what went wrong. We see in the flashbacks but I felt a conversation was missing. Overall, it was a quick and bingeable book that takes you through all the emotions. I felt for both the MCs and I’m happy they finally got their HEA.


Oh and the spice was spicinnn

Love love love. I could read books by Devney all day everyday. They give me all the feels and every one is better than the last. I don’t know how she does it.

Give me all Devney every day all day. I love her words. Everything she writes is pure gold and becomes my next favorite book.

Crossroads was my first ever cowboy romance (and my first ever Devney Perry) and I can tell you right now, I will be back for more!

The dual POV/dual timeline really made the whole book for me. The angst was angsting! I also love how real the characters were. They kept winding up together, even when they knew maybe they shouldn’t. And when the spice starts spicing before the halfway point? Yes please.

I also really love how there are some great side characters that we can definitely see getting their own stories soon!

This book is the perfect summer romance read! And under 300 pages! The perfect beach read.

If you love dual timeline, dual pov, small town, cowboy, summertime romance pick this one up immediately!

I really enjoyed this book! I have read a lot of books from this author, and I always enjoy myself so much - this was no exception. The smalltown vibe in this was perfect, and I really liked the two main characters. I also really enjoyed the flashbacks to earlier ages, which was written in a way that the story wasn't explained in fully until the end and I think it was very well executed. I'm very excited for more books in this series.

This was a great book! I loved reading how Indya buys West’s family ranch and is now the owner of it. It was fun reading how West and Indya don’t see eye to eye and how Indya is now West’s boss. The whole renovation for the ranch was really interesting. I now want to go stay in a country range for a summer! Loved the chemistry between Indya and West! I liked the history between them and how they had to work to get to the place that they were in. The only thing I didn’t love about this book was the second chance trope. It is one of my least favorite tropes and the way that it’s done in this book is something I’m not a fan of. I don’t like romance books that have flashbacks with the couples history. It makes for a lot of heartache and feelings. I definitely had all the emotions, especially towards the end! The ending was the best part of this book! The HEA was done really well! I will definitely be reading the next book in the series as I want to know what happens between Jax and the manager of the ranch!

This book has soared to the top of my favorites from this author! Devney Perry will forever be one of my unicorn authors, and Crossroads just confirms why I love her writing and stories so much.

The way in which West & Indya's story is written is absolutely brilliant. This second-chance romance will not only have you falling for this couple in present day, but throughout small snippets of their past sprinkled within the chapters as well. Their character development as a couple and as individuals detailed in both past chapters and present is incredible. The storytelling is phenomenal. The setting. The secondary characters. The emotion. The passion. IS. ALL. FIVE STARS!!!!!

I devoured this book, and it is exactly why I love epic love stories so much. West & Indya will forever be ingrained in my heart, and I know they'll be on my mind for a long time to come. I can't wait for what's to come next in this series. Well done once again D. Perry! BRAVO!!!!

This book made me a lot more emotional than I was expecting.

THE FLASHBACK CHAPTERS, OMG. I just loved having Indya's perspective for these flackbacks because she was dealing with SO much at such a young age that you just wanted to hug her honestly. Those moments with her dad were needed in this story and it had me in tears. I loved how close she is with her mom and dad both and I loved that they were able to have those peaceful moments to be with one another in Montana.

I loved Indya and West and loved seeing their relationship (although it wasn't a traditional relationship, the feelings were always there) throughout the years. I loved seeing her and West pick back up no matter the time they spent apart when Indya and her family would visit. Their second chance together came with a lot of baggage- Indya buying West's family's ranch, each of them having past serious relationships, dealing with grief- but I absolutely loved seeing them open up and try again because you just KNOW they are meant to be together!

Overall, I really enjoyed this one and I cannot wait to see what's to come in Sunlight!

there's just something about devney and second chance romances that are just perfect. i don't normally love dual timelines but she did this so effortlessly -- it wasn't every other chapter, it was just little bits of flashbacks to see how west and indya's relationship has developed over the years. this is when i love childhood friends to lovers, this wasn't 'oh someone else noticed you and now i realize that i love you,' this was right person, wrong time, long distance and this feeling of how can i ask this person to uproot their entire life.

even though it took some years for them to come back together, both of them knew they were meant for each other. they were each others, even when they weren't together. the tension and longing for each other was just so perfect.

i'm so excited to read more from this series!

“No matter how many years passed between us, there was no forgetting. I’d loved West Haven for what felt like my entire life.”

Devney Perry is one of my favorite romance authors so it was no surprise to me that I absolutely loved this one. Not only did I love West and Indya, but I LOVED the setting of this one. Devney was so detailed in her description of Montana and Haven River Ranch that I truly felt like I was there the entire time I was reading.

This book gives you such a cozy feelings while also being heartbreaking at the same time. I guessed the plot twist involving Indyas phone calls pretty early on but I still was so sad when we found out what was happening with that towards the end.

I love that we got to go back and forth in time to see how West and Indya became friends, to how their lives were in adulthood. This was truly such a sweet, comforting, heartwarming read and I can’t wait for Jax’s book!

Another amazing release by Devney Perry!! It seriously gave me all the feels!! My heart!!! I was hurting, sad, swooned, laughed, frustrated. The heartache and the grief got me sooo good. I legit ugly cried. 😅

The chemistry and tension between Indya and West was beautifully built. I was rooting for them from the first page, but man, I totally felt West's pain when Indya bought the ranch. Indya's family vacationed in Montana every summer because that's where her father loves it best, and he was battling with cancer. That's where she met West every summer. That friendship turned into something more, but they never acted upon it. When Indya finally made up her mind, it was already too late. Years later, they met again and there was pain, heartache, and anger. But the love they felt for each other have always been there.

It sort of gave me Wild Highway and Garnet Flat vibes a bit if you read other books by Devney.

4.5 rounded up to 5!
Devney Perry does it again. I swear this book is a written ad for Montana and the beauty of coming back again and again.
This is the first standalone in a new series and the set up of the community and characters was perfect.
The way Devney wrote Indya and West made me feel so connected to the characters despite how different they are from each other (and me). Throughout the story, with the different character POVs and the flashbacks to each summer....it just gave so much more context and provided hooks to keep my completely engaged.
I was in tears by the end of the story and was smiling through them during the epilogue.
Definitely recommend both Crossroads and Devney Perry.

Now THIS.. this is how you write a second chance romance🥹🫠 This is the first of Perry’s books that I’ve read + it definitely won’t be the last! It has everything you want in a small town romance— the perfect ranch setting, the angst, the emotion, the grumpy cowboy!

West + Indya were always meant for each other 🫶🏽 The tension, longing + angst between the two was so perfectly written, and the honest way they communicated was refreshing to read. The past + present timelines flowed effortlessly, and allowed us to see their friendship develop over the years, through flashbacks, which was so precious.

CROSSROADS is more than just a romance novel; the plot was also suspenseful, twisty and packed full of emotion + loss. I felt every part of the characters apprehension + pain, which is absolutely a testament to Perry’s writing style. And when it all came together? Flawless 😚🤌🏽

If you’re looking for a heartwarming, poignant, second chance romance with loveable characters + a lil twist, pick this one up!!

I do love me a good Devney Perry book- I devoured this one in 2 days!

I loved West and Indya’s relationship right from the start- one of my fav tropes!

I was SO invested in the resort and fixing it,but I have to say, the epilogue was kinda strange regarding the resort.

This book definitely hit me in the feels and I may or may not have had something in my eye at some point, but I do feel the way she handled her dads business was a bit fucked???

Overall it was a super cute romance and I loved the storyline! I’m excited to see what comes next!

Forced Proximity
Second Chance

these two took our on a journey. it took me a bit to get into the dual timeline but once i figured out the dynamic it was smooth sailing. i loved the childhood friends storyline & how their lives were formed around these moments. & the way he’s down so bad for her just melted me. i really loved this one & the ending had me in a chokehold. these two were just perfect for eachother.

Indya heads back to the ranch where her family spent a week for vacations most summers since she was 8. Only problem is she’s heading back as the new owner and her childhood crush/first love, West, has no idea his father even sold the ranch.

Great story! Second chance, cowboy romance- two of my favorite tropes! I loved seeing their relationship grow and evolve through the years. Fantastic ending!

When I tell you that it’s taken me a while to write this review it’s because I have been so obsessed with this book that I’m sure no review will do it justice.
First Indya and West are EVERYTHING. There could be not one single not of schmexy in this book and it would still be perfection. Utter total perfection.

Second the relationship Indya and her father have, man it made me miss my Dad so much. It was so close to home for me because I had a wonderful Dad much like Indyas and those parts were special for me.

Last, and only because I could go on forever and that would result to in spoilers which I do not want you to have, West Haven may be my most favorite hero from this author ever. Did I say perfection already? Seriously, PERFECTION!

The way I am obsessed with all things Devney Perry. The childhood friends/lovers second chance romance where she just wants to see his dream come true? Amazing. I can’t wait for the rest of this series.
