And Crossroads did the one thing I never want to see with this trope: they Gay For You trope. I’m going to do my best to express my thoughts on it.Īs I’ve said before: I love the trope where a character presumes they’re straight and then someone that same gender as them walks in and they’re like “wait.” It’s one of my favourite tropes! But it can be done badly. It did things I liked and things I didn’t like. At one point I thought it would be a strong four star, then it dropped to a two, and that brought me to the middle ground three. They have to decide which way to go: the easy path they’ve always followed, or the one that’s determined to trip them up at every turn.Ĭrossroads is a book I can at best describe as complicated. Physical desire isn’t enough, and now Nick and Bryce are at a crossroads. They find themselves navigating an unfamiliar new world and dealing with unforeseen obstacles. Neither man has ever wanted another guy, but there’s a connection between them from the start-a spark they can’t deny. But things don’t go as planned, and soon they realize they’d rather be together than with anyone else. He plans to show Nick how it’s done, help him meet a few women, and enjoy the gift of the single life he’s been given. Easier said than done-that is until he meets his new neighbor, Bryce Tanner…īryce is all about a good time. He owns the restaurant of his dreams and he’s determined to meet new people, find new passions, and experience life to its fullest. Summary: After divorcing the woman he’d been with since he was seventeen, Nick Fuller is starting over.
