My Thoughts on Betwixt Two Hearts:
These are some great authors and I love reading the collections that they write together. One book ties the set of six novellas together. This Crossroad Collection, Betwixt Two Hearts, starts with the first novella by that title which tells the story that ties all the ones coming together.
I’m not sure how the ideas for all of the books pop up into the authors’ brains but I’m glad they do! I loved reading these collections and always look forward to the next one. You can check them out on Amazon and read for free if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription.
Chautona Havig is one of my favorite authors so I knew this would be a great collection if she was in it. Plus I have not met an Alana Terry book that I haven’t liked.
I think I like these collections more than the full novels because you get more stories for your book and you get to experience different styles of writing so you don’t get bored halfway through. Sometimes collections can get boring. That is never how I would describe this one.
You are going to want to read this collection. It’s one of those that I was so sad each time I had to put my phone down and stop reading because I didn’t want to! But alas the kids needed to be fed and the chores had to be done. Grab your copy today and then go back and read some of the other collections as well. You won’t regret it!
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

More from Chautona
“I’ve got a new idea for the next CrossRoads Collection, and I think it might be perfect for your bladder guy.”
Excitement? Total understatement. Giddy—that’s more like it. Totally giddy when I “hear” (read) Amanda Tru say, “I’ve got a new idea….” Without skipping a beat, I typed back, “Let’s hear it.”
As the idea burst into my messenger box, I knew she was right. A matchmaking website? Perfect for a shy guy with an unfortunate coping mechanism that ensures that he has a string of first and only dates in his back pocket. You can read about that story, here.
I had two months to write it—and had two other books to finish in the meantime. YIKES! Still, I had to do it.
I almost made it, too.
For those who don’t know about the CrossRoads Collections, they feature five or six books (of varying length from short novella to full-length novel) and the final (or in the case of Betwixt Two Hearts, the first) book interconnects all the others. Each collection stands alone, and each story in the collections stand alone, but that one book in each collection ties all the others together in a unique, brilliant way that only the lovely Amanda Tru could manage.
We began with Out of the Blue Bouquet, which tells of five floral fiascos and one florist who causes and redeems them all.
Then came Yesterday’s Mail which features five accounts of lost or misdirected mail and the postal worker tasked with fixing it all.
Of course, when Christmas came around, we needed a good Christmas collection, so our first kicked off with Under the Christmas Star. This collection features five ornaments and the stories connected to each.
Next, we combined forces to do a little matchmaking and kicked off this collection. Betwixt Two Hearts in a story of a matchmaking website and the people it connected, not to mention the entrepreneurial pair that can’t agree on how to run it!
Continuing on.
Of course, weddings are lots of fun, so we came up with The Wedding Dress Yes. In it, you’ll meet CrossRoads’ fabulous new bridal designer who thwarts the efforts of a shop owner still stuck in the eighties with dresses that ensure more social distance than most couples care to have on their wedding day.
And most recently, the When Snowflakes Never Cease collection features a snowstorm that sweeps across the nation during Christmas week and tries to prevent two people determined to find someone in the midst of all that frosty carnage.
I’ve loved writing for all of these collections, but my novel, Random Acts of Shyness in the Betwixt Two Hearts is probably my favorite.
All of the CrossRoads Collection books are available on Kindle Unlimited, and several are just .99 to purchase.
The CrossRoads authors invite you to pick up one of the collections today. We recommend starting with Betwixt Two Hearts while it’s still available in one, inexpensive collection.

This sounds like a wonderful collection!! I’ve been reading many more contemporary novels in the past year, plus many more lesser known authors (indie published or smaller punishing companies) and found some real gems. I normally read historical or suspense and wanted to expand my reader taste 🙂 Am I glad I did!
Thank you for your review and participation in the blog tour Erin!

I love love suspense and historical fiction so you’ll find lots of reviews of those on here too, but nothing beats a good contemporary Christian romance before you fall asleep in a peaceful sleep.
Chautona Havig
Thank you for taking the time to read and review. This is possibly my favorite collection #becauseHeath. But then there’s Dylan in Operation Posthaste, and Kelsey… and… sigh. LOL
Thanks again!
Erin S.
I love how you can’t choose a favorite! Books like that are ones you reread just because they’re that good.
