"Betwixt Two Hearts" by Amanda Tru, Cathe Swanson, Kari Trumbo, Alana Terry, Carol Moncado, & Chautona Havig is a collection of six stories. Each story is great as a standalone, but I think having them all together in this collection is a special treat. Each one involved a matchmaking website.

These six stories all have the website in common, but each one has it own plot. One is winning a contest, one is about a quilt and needing a date, one is about wanting to date someone else, one is about a stowaway cat, one is about marriage along with a murder mystery and one is about a guy that is really date worthy.

I really liked each story in this set of stories, but I have to say that my favorite was "Seoul Refuge" by Alana Terry.

These stories have me wanting to read more books by these authors and at the end of them, it tells us what books we can read to read more about these characters.

Yes, this collection is over 900 pages but it is well worth the read and I read the stories in order but I don't really think a reader would have to enjoy the set, but I really recommend reading the first one first as it ties all them together.

Have you ever just been reading a book and have to stop reading and ask God for forgiveness because you felt God was speaking to you through the book even through it is fiction, (Christian. Well, if you haven't I can you the experience is awesome! The author included a Scriptual verse in the story and it really spoke to me! Yes, I have heard this verse before, but the story plot was like it was my story she was telling, not exactly but similar and I guess that is why the verse really stood out for me. I won't go into anymore details. I really believe that if you haven't tried adding your name to Bible verses you should because when I did to the verse in this Book, it was " I am sorry God" Please forgive me. I think when an book does that, it means the author has written a great story.

I was given a complementary story by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are mine own.

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 collectionstands 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 Mailwhich 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 Heartsin 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!
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 Ceasecollection 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 Shynessin the Betwixt Two Heartsis 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 Heartswhile it’s still available in one, inexpensive collection.
