Review: Married WITHOUT Benefits...
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 7, 2014
While this series may be read out of order as standalones I found it very confusing and full of spoilers to do so. I wish I had started with book one ! Book one isMy First - Jason & Katie (The Crossroads Series Book 1). The second book isMy Last - Riley & Chelle (The Crossroads Series Book 2). The third book isMy Only - Alex & Jamie (The Crossroads Series Book 3). The fourth book isMy Everything - Seth & Amber (The Crossroads Series Book 4). This is the fifth book.Haley is absolutely in love with Emily and Eddie... She does everything to support and coddle them with no thought to what she gets out of it. She's loved Eddie from afar ever since she came home from college. They might as well be married except he just doesn't seem to get the hint she wants to be more than friends...So she helps him pick out attractive clothes to wear on his "dates" while she stays home and watches Emily. Her sister thinks she should give up after four long years but she still has hope that one of these days he will see the woman right in front of him who is already part of his family even if he doesn't realize it yet.Eddie was a wild child but all that changed when he became a father... Like he became a single father. He has resigned himself not to date until after Emily is in college... She's only 7! He wants to provide stability and doesn't think parading an endless string of women in front of her is the way to do it. Besides the only woman he wants is the one he's been fighting his attraction to these last 4 years. He can't jeopardize Em's relationship with Haley especially as he doesn't know what they would do without her.This is a sweet and steamy contemporary small town romance. I was a bit lost but I think that is because I started with this book and therefore missed a lot of the back story. I believe that when I read the books I missed this one will make perfect sense! Personally I'm a big fan of reading books in order. I can't wait to read the books I missed so I can reread this one with better perspective. The next book isCrazy Love - Krista & Chase (The Crossroads Series Book 6). I will definitely be reading it in its proper order from now on!***This series is suitable for adult readers
