This is the first of Blackstock's novels that I ever read, and have since read all of Second Chances, Suncoast Chronicles, and Newpointe 911. The romance part of When Dreams Cross was not very creative and it was easy for me to figure out that Justin and Andi would eventually find each other in the end. However, what made this book great was the suspense and mystery throughout the story and the apparent sabotage of Promised Land. This thread of trying to figure out "whodunnit" kept me reading until the outcome and was the first inkling that I got that Blackstock is a much stronger suspense writer than she is romance writer. Apparently, she now realizes that too, because her later two series bring her skill of mystery writing to the forefront and put the romance angle as pleasant secondary plotlines. When Dreams Cross was a great mystery and only a fair romance (which is why I deducted one star), but worth reading by any Blackstock fan, any Christian who has ever questioned God's plan for the future, or anyone who has ever failed at romance and gun-shy to try again.

Terry Blackstock's "When Dreams Cross" is a well written story about the distructiveness and havoc that too much pride can have on a relationship. Without preaching, this talented author gives readers insight into the struggle we all face to let GOD be first in our lives and to learn to bend to his will. This is my first Blackstock book and I am now a fan with the intent to read more from this great author.

This well done romance begins strong in first chapter with development of two strong-willed, prideful people who need each other to accomplish their dreams. Could feel the torrents of clashes between Justin and Andi keenly, inside and out, and enjoyed the challenging roller coaster of circumstances that finally grounds their mutual faith and drives them to work together. Marked my book throughout with checks where the author delivers memorable descriptive phrases, such as, "Just Justin. The words didn't go together. It was like saying, 'Just napalm.'"

This series is too simplisitic and not as in depth as her other series. It is enjoyable to read once for a light afternoon break, but not worth a second read.

After the first book, Never Again Say Good-bye, this book followed Blackstocks style perfectly. I was more able to identify with these characters than the first books, so it drew me in a little more. This was another good one from Terri Blackstock.

great transacton best author ever. A good Christian author and can't put her books down. God Bless all of you.

Terri Blackstock is one of the best authors I have read in a long time. She has been able to weave fascinating life-like stories about regular people, while incorporating a spiritual and Christian undertone. I can't wait to read and finish ALL her books!

Terri Blackstock is a fabulous Christian author with a flair for page-turning mystery stories that include some good old fashioned Christian problem solving. I was happy to find all the books in her various series on Amazon. All the vendors were very reasonable and shipped promptly. I've never been disappointed with purchases from Amazon!

This is true of all the books in the Second Chances series. This comes over well although it's a bit more of a romance than a suspense novel. The Christian amusement park theme is fascinating. The ending gives a hint about the following book in the series. The author is quite skilled although I admit to, as a guy, preferring her more suspenseful novels.

This was the second book in the econd Chance series and I really did enjoy reading it. Looking forward to completing the series.
