I started Destiny's Crossing on a Saturday night thinking I would take my time to get through it's almost 500 pages. By the wee hours of the morning, I had to force myself to sleep. I started back on it with a pot of coffee and here I sit on Sunday, sorry that it's over. I loved the character development of Lex and Amanda. Believable and beautiful. As a fan of the lesbian romance genre, I read almost anything I can find and at times, can be disappointed. This book did not disappoint. Carrie Carr addresses the often sad reality that not everyone is going to embrace a loving relationship between women. However, she nicely mixes it with the opposing reality that people and families do exist who can think out of the box and simply be supportive and happy for the love that is found. I look forward to Carrie's next effort!

I absolutely fell in love with this book. It's touching depiction of love between two people who are suddenly brought together under unusual circumstances left me sighing and breathless. It's a wonderful romance with characters who are memorable and become a part of your heart.

Destinys Crossing is a fantastically written book and even that's an understatement. The characters are so well written and believable, and the story keeps you glued to pages. It's funny, sensitive and I think the feelings between the two main characters are everyones dream relationship. It's very hard to put the book down and I read it so quickly I had to slow myself down as I just didn't want it to end. I can't wait for another Carrie Carr book and would love to see these characters again, down to the Housekeeper and the Grandparents. Don't miss out on a novel that will keep you chuckling to yourself throughout, and is so romantic it's perfect.

The women in this story were very real to me. It was easy to see myself in their situations, and I felt a very deep kinship for them. I fell in love with the grandparents, wishing they were mine. I lost myself in their lives and was saddened when I came to the last page. A wonderful story with lots of heart!

I would have to say this book is OK. Lex and Amanda are great characters to work with and get to know. I would recommend this book based on the fact that Hope's Path (The sequel) is better. In both books though, there is some repetition. You will certainly get to know their eating and sleeping patterns more than you wish to. Without this the book would be half it's size and maybe flow a bit better. A little less detail in this area and a little more in the love scene area would have been nice. (At least the first time anyway) I would have to say that overall I enjoyed all three books in the series and would continue to read about Lex and Amanda if the author continued to write about them.

I enjoyed this story from the first page! The characters drew me in from the beginning, and I enjoyed the interplay between the two leads. The action sequences were top notch, and I was almost shivering from the rain after the first few chapters. This is a great love story, and I can't wait to read more from Carrie Carr. I hope to see more of these characters in the future!

I was referred to this book by a friend, and I'm glad I was. This reminded me of an old-fashioned romance, and I had trouble remembering that the people I was reading about weren't real. The budding romance between the two characters made me smile, and remember what love was all about. Lex and Amanda quickly worked their way into my heart and gave me a warm, happy feeling. I can't wait to read what this author puts out next. Definitely a MUST READ!

Wonderfully written book. Just as I was about to order the sequel there it was. Two books in one. Really enjoyed it. Waiting to see if there's another sequel. A must read book.

Lex and Amanda are two of the sweetest, most likeable characters I've come across. Carrie had me cheering for them the entire story. Simply wonderful!

Is it possible to digest 1500 "honey's" and 2000 "sweetie's" over a 300 page book? I think not. This book is in all likelihood the sappiest, sorriest, most boring piece of "romance" I've ever read, with one mighty exception (incidentally, from the same publisher). Don't misunderstand me, sappy romance ain't bad per se, and I'm and avid romance reader --sappy and all-- but it just won't do it for me to feel romance by reading "honey" and "I love you" and "dearest" every second sentence.

The main characters looked to me like party balloons: a pretty sight from the outside, but just simple hot air inside. There's nothing of sustenance to make either of them believable. Why, they're so damn good they look like saints. I've found more depth in characters taken from the old Super Heroes cartoons than from the characters in this book. As a matter of fact, there's some similarity with good ole Superman characters: the "good" folks are so very good, saints really, and the "bad" ones are so very bad villains, just like Lex Luthor.

The only strength I found in this romance book was how heavy it was in my backpack. Anyway, I just hope this review will discourage some "romance fan" like me to buy this book based on the rave reviews I saw on this page.
