At Cross Ends by Christy Poff is one of the most suspenseful and thrilling books I have read this year. Riley Devane is one gutsy woman who will do anything for her man and Mark Kincaid is a man worth doing it for, definitely an alpha male, strong and stable. These two are thrown together by circumstance and a diabolical enemy. The treacherous plots he enacts against Riley make your heart pound and your blood rush and she is but a pawn in his scheme of things to come. Mark faces dreadful torture and mental anguish once again at the hands of this madman from his past. The plights they survive are astounding and relentless on this rollercoaster ride of torment and sublime pleasure.

This story grabs you by the scruff of the neck and won’t let go until the very end. Christy Poff hooked me immediately with At Cross Ends. Her scenes are rich with detail and the emotions fairly drip off the page. Soul mates come to mind, the love these two share is immediate and continues to evolve as their strengths and weaknesses come in to view. I repeat if you’re looking for a wild and thrilling ride jump onto At Cross Ends for a very stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable Recommended Read by this reviewer.
