Kathy Lockheart's writing style is not new to me and in "Crossover" I mostly liked it again - descriptive and detailed, delving into the story and the emotional state of the characters. But I have a feeling that in this book, she has spoiled the characters that we already know from the first book.
I don't remember Ivy being so irritating and nerve-wracking with her behavior in the first book. She is extremely indecisive here, she wants something, but she doesn’t know what either. She blames Grayson for something she herself knows he is also a victim of. The drama between them, no matter how much it lengthens the plot and shows that in the end their relationship is stronger than all their problems, in my opinion, was completely unnecessary, or at least it was not approached in the right way, although it was a plot twist. And her disgusting behavior towards Grayson and this procrastination of the action, made me read slowly and honestly, from time to time I didn't even want to reach for the book knowing how far the characters had gone.
From the middle onwards, the story got better and the dynamics improved. There were some moments that were meant to superimpose more action, but they were also approached in such a way as not to aggravate the plot.
I realized in that moment that I wanted every one of his kisses to belong to me. I always had. I was only fooling myself to think I could ever walk away from him.
Already towards the end, with all the action and the direction in which the plot went, I started reading with eagerness again. This is what I was waiting for throughout the whole book.
The climax was quite tense, extremely strong and I really liked it. There was a lot of action in it, it seemed realistic enough for me to enjoy it and it really made me wonder if everything would be okay in the end.
I would also read some of the author's other books about the other brothers, although in this duology I lacked something so that it couldn’t completely grab me.
