The reclusive, bearded, mountain man has secrets of his own and with one growl, she knew she’d be safe. Sure, he might only talk to her to ask who hurt her, but at least the quiet will let her heal.
When the elusive drummer from one of the biggest rock bands in the world shows up on Bodhi’s doorstep, he needs her to leave yesterday. As soon as he sees the bruises, he knows she needs to stay.
A fire took everything from him once, and the town he thought he could trust turned on him before he could grieve. Falling for a woman in the spotlight is the last thing he needs.
Yet it might be the one thing that could save them both when the darkness of their pasts finally catches up with them.
**Crossroads is a rock star, widower, second chance, small town contemporary suspense in the Ashford Creek series featuring Bodhi and Kiera. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

Fantastic
Ashford Creek Bodhi & Keira book
Bodhi has awful survivors guilt after his wife and children are killed in a fire that I couldn’t save them from. Only though they have awful PTSD and survivors guilt also has awful scars physically, but also mentally from the fire. when he meets Keira, he struggles with his attraction to her and the things she brings out on him like love of music and brings it back into his life which previously he didn’t want to have.
I really do love the characters development both these characters absolutely love that Bodhi is a saviour for Keira but she’s also a saviour for him and they develop a really beautiful relationship. Absolutely love the ending of this book and as always, Carrie Ann Ryan does a perfect job picking the amazing narrators Jason Clarke and CJ Bloom that do the book.
Looking forward to my Ashford Creek stories as I really enjoy this big large family, even if it’s very dysfunctional.
An emotional must
Crossroads is the second instalment in Carrie Ann Ryan’s Ashford Creek series, and if book one left me emotionally undone, this one takes that devastation and turns it into something even more profound.
At the heart of this story is Bodi, a widower and a recluse who has built his life around silence, solitude, and the painful weight of everything he’s lost. He isn’t just withdrawn—he’s someone who has stopped believing that connection is safe, or even possible. Then Kiera arrives on his doorstep, a drummer with secrets of her own, desperate for a place to hide and a moment to breathe. What neither of them expects is that this chance encounter will become a turning point neither can walk away from.
As their worlds collide, what begins as necessity slowly transforms into something far deeper. Carrie Ann Ryan masterfully peels back their emotional layers, revealing grief, vulnerability, and the terrifying hope that comes with starting again. The suspense woven through the story heightens every moment, adding urgency to an already intense emotional journey.
This is a story about loss, but also about what it means to stand at a crossroads in life and choose to keep going when everything inside you says to stop. It’s about second chances that don’t come easily, and love that has to be fought for every step of the way.
By the final page, the payoff is beautifully earned—a hard-won HEA that feels even more powerful because of everything it survived to exist.
