Two lost boys. Two long years. One path back to each other.

Elian has lost two major anchors in his life, and he can’t figure out how to get back on track, so he takes to the rails, trying to outrun his struggles. The farther he runs, the deeper he sinks, losing himself more and more until a random phone call reminds him, he isn’t as alone as he thought. There is someone out there who still cares—Tyler.

Two years ago, Tyler lost more than his best friend. He lost the other half of his heart. He knows Elian’s struggles, and he now knows Elian is alive. When his rider friends offer to help, he’s hesitant. They don’t know as much about Elian as they should, and it’s Tyler’s fault for shutting them out. Too many people might scare Elian off.
Besides, how can he explain to his friends his desperation to find Elian when his feelings are so new and unexplored?
Tyler is convinced he only needs one person to mend his wounded heart—Elian.

Lost at the Crossing is a new adult gay romance story of first love between two inexperienced boys. It’s a story of found family and lifelong friendships. It explores tropes including hurt/comfort, friends-to-lovers, two virgins, second chance romance, and demisexual awakening. It has angst. Let’s be honest, it’s me. It’s inevitable. Lost at the Crossing is the second audiobook in the Rail Riders series. It can be listened to as a standalone but may be better enjoyed after listening to End of the Line.

If I could, I'd give Tyler and Elian's romance 1,000 stars. The sweet, patient, tenderness of their love was absolutely addictive to me, and watching the two of them grow into themselves as they journeyed around Canada was everything I didn't know I was missing. Tyler's steadfast devotion to finding Elian made me fall in love with him right away, and despite how long it'd been I found myself as desperately hopeful as Tyler that he was still out there somewhere. Their reunion brought happy tears to my eyes, and as I discovered more about why Elian had disappeared for so long I lost my heart to him as well. The two of them had such an incredibly special connection, and watching them find their rhythm again and explore a new facet to their relationship was amazing.

Apart from one terrifying rail incident, Elian and Tyler's romance was achingly, heart-meltingly sweet. The way they radiated contentment and happiness in each other's presence was overwhelming in the best way, and I spent the majority of their story soaking in their affection. Yes, the two of them had some serious heart-to-hearts and past trauma to deal with, but the overall tone of their relationship remained hopeful from start to finish. It was easy for me to relax into the rail rider family again and enjoy their daily interactions, no action sequences or drama needed. The themes of found family and inner strength were once again dominant in this story, and those elements are what elevated this adorable romance into a moving journey about two people finding their place in the world. Getting to know these men felt like uncovering a precious treasure, and I'm honored that I got to experience every twist and turn along their path to happiness.

Obsessed with this series, it’s stunning, engaging, and tugs at my heartstrings.

Tyler has been trying to find the boy and fellow rail rider who disappeared a long while ago. He’s desperate, not only because he’s started developing feelings for him, but because he needs to know Elian is okay.

Elian struggles with how the world sees him and its lack of acceptance. He’s only had two people have his back. His brother, and now, Tyler.

They reunite, but sorting out a future isn’t straightforward or easy, but their journey is gorgeous and touching.

The audiobook is wonderful, Nick J Russo is perfect for the style and the author. Truly captivating.
