Home on leave in sunny California, Marine and local lothario Kit Ryan finds himself dangerously drawn to his best friend's sister, Jessa - the one girl he can't have.
But Kit's not about to let a few obstacles stand in his way and soon Jessa's falling for his irresistible charms.
What starts out as a summer romance of secret hook-ups and magical first times quickly develops into a passionate love affair that turns both their worlds upside down.
When summer's over and it's time for Kit to redeploy, neither Kit nor Jessa are ready to say goodbye. Jessa's finally following her dreams and Kit's discovered there's someone he'd sacrifice everything for.
Jessa's prepared to wait for Kit no matter what. But when something more than distance and time rips them apart they're forced to decide whether what they have is really worth fighting for.
A breathtaking, scorchingly hot story about love, friendship, family and finding your way back from the edge of heartbreak.
From the very start, this book will
hook you with unbelievable strength. The prologue just nearly killed me with
curiosity. It swallowed me whole. Why, Sarah, why the torture from the very
beginning? I was tempted to scan the pages to see what happens and I was
struggling not to. (Thank God I resisted the temptation.) If the opening
chapter didn’t hook you right off then I don’t know what will.
The characters in this novel were
very believable. Each and every individual has their own story and uniqueness
to them. The dual POV (Point of view) was perfect for the story. I liked all
the characters here. Riley was the coolest brother I’ve read so far. I wish my
brother gives me gifts like the one Riley gives Jessa. Didi was a much needed
friend for Jessa. Kit and Riley’s dad was just as interesting. They weren’t the
best parents but they had a big impact with how the story progresses. A
conflict revolves around these families that will be revealed after some time. All
of the characters went through change.
I’m not sure it’s on the right
genre though. LOL. It was bordering adult fiction with how hot and steamy the
scenes were (In a very good way). I thought they would both combust on how high
the sexual tension was between Kit and Jessa. Thank goodness Kit is a perfect
gentleman and that his love for Jessa didn't waver.
The story wasn’t in a hurry, which
I loved. The characters had their time to settle on their feelings and just
think things over. It didn’t feel rushed. Also, the title fits the novel
perfectly. I understood why that was the title. It wasn’t full of what ifs or
what could’ve been because the characters didn’t regret their present
situation. It was nice that it included an epilogue. It’s a story that teaches
that love isn’t once in a lifetime, that you can find another love in this
world eventually.
COME BACK TO ME is the perfect
blend of steamy romance, unbreakable friendship and family drama. Well, maybe
it has a whole lot more sizzling hot romance in it. So for NA and Adult readers, this is a perfect read for you!
“You’ve been waiting in the bushes for half an hour just to speak to me?' Kit shrugs. 'I’ve done sniper training. I can sit for hours in the dark, waiting and watching.'
'That’s comforting.' I say, 'And not creepy in the slightest.”
"Do you come here often?' I ask. As soon as the words are out of my mouth, I cringe. Way to go, Kit. Make it sound like you’re trying to pick him up, why don’t you?"
“..the best things in life are things you have to fight for.”
