Brave New World Fantasy: Crossroads by Riley Hart

With Crossroads (2015), Riley Hart presents a new world fantasy, one in which previously heterosexual males fall in love and have the full support of the majority of their family.

In this story, we meet Nick Fuller, a newly divorced chef and restaurant owner who also just bought himself a duplex next to Bryce Tanner, mechanic and previous playboy who took years to find his passion in motorcycle repair. Nick is looking to start over, and after weeks of spending time with Bryce, their friendship develops into attraction--which confuses both as neither has ever had any gay inclinations. Though they question for one hot second what their attraction means, the fear of being labeled "gay" doesn't prevent them from moving forward. What follows is a lovely fantasy: Nick and Bryce suffer no angst and move full steam into a sexual and romantic relationship that sizzles and scorches off the pages!

New to reading m/m romances, I was taken aback by the raw, coarse, and descriptive language of Nick and Bryce's sexual encounters, which seemed to occur at about every other page after the initial friendship building set up. As a result, I certainly got some updated sex education reading Crossroads.

In all, Crossroads is an engaging and hot, hot, hot read with likable characters all around. While there was some drama with their meddling mothers, this GFY (Gay-for-You, I've learned) is pure enjoyable, sexy romantic fantasy.
