Story
Lance Corporal Matthew Mills returned home from his first deployment with more than just a bullet wound. While he knew that injury would heal, he feared the invisible ones never would. He couldn't trust his own mind anymore and the only way to keep Olivia safe was to push her away...maybe for good. Olivia wanted nothing more than to stand by her husband while he battled PTSD. If he needed time and space, that's what she'd give him. But how long was too long? Just when she was about to lose hope, fate, and a few meddling friends stepped in.

Am I friends with JP Cane? Ha! That's laughable. Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can't be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we're not friends. He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons...multiple times a day. So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we're sharing the same air, 24-7. We're talking full-fledged working roommates.

After a secret, romantic weekend with him leaves her broken-hearted, Ella Mae accepts an opportunity to go to Paris to pursue her fashion dreams. It’s her chance to start over. Instead, she’s going there with the same stubborn man who claimed he was too dangerous for her—as his fake wife.

I first met the ridiculously handsome Danny Diamond at a party some 15 years ago. He had brilliant blue eyes, a sexy smirk, and a muscular body. We had a crazy, instant connection. So, I did what I had to do - threw myself in his direction and kissed him. And that kiss...was like a freaking fairy tale. At least it was until he stopped it because he was married.

I knocked up my best friend's sister. Let's start with how she decided to inform me and Pacey the news...together. Imagine that nightmare. I was going into what I thought was a hockey marketing meeting, and then bam! I'm going to be a dad and my best friend/teammate is attempting to imprint my face with his fist. Threats were tossed around, friendships were revoked, and then I was marched up to her apartment, suitcases in hand, and forced to live with her so I could take care of her every need. Now I'm finding it harder and harder not to fall for my best friend's little sister.

My heart opens to Cooper Haywood the moment we meet. How can it resist? He's charming, devastatingly handsome, and sweeps me off my feet before I realize the impact he's making. And then it's too late. We fall too fast to worry about the consequences. We love so hard that we ache when we're apart. Even though I have a past that still haunts me and he has a future that could put us at risk, none of that matters when we're together. Until it does. And then everything changes.

My new neighbor is a firefighter - and a scorching-hot single dad - but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose. (And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.) Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

What's worse than having Rider Kingston, the star quarterback, give you the big brushoff because he doesn't want to get serious? You'd probably think living across the street from him where you get a firsthand view of his hookups, right? That's what I thought. Until someone drops off a baby with a note pinned to her blanket that says one of those jocks - either Rider or one of his roommates - is the father. The problem? Baby mama doesn't mention which of these numbskulls is the sperm donor. I wouldn't care about their paternity problems - except my brother lives there too.

I’m a single female who’s tired of relationships ruining my life. However, there are times when a date would be helpful. If you’re a single man, preferably mid-20s to late-30s, and are in a similar situation, we might be a match. Candidate must be handsome, charming, and willing to pretend to have feelings for me (on a sliding scale, as the event requires). Ability to discuss a wide variety of topics is a plus. Must have your own transportation and a (legal) job. In exchange for your time, I will give you mine. If interested, please email me. Time is of the essence.

Blaire Gibson knows better than to have one night stands. She prides herself on her decision-making skills. It’s the one asset that has never let her down. But even the best thinkers have weaknesses. Hers is a delicious business mogul with a quick tongue. Unfortunately for her, that tongue is good for more than just talking. What begins as a single night in a hotel room spirals into an unusual agreement. As late nights provide the space to trade secrets and walls come tumbling down, more is shared than just pillow talk.

Publisher's Summary
Spencer and Ellie are just friends.
For Spencer, Ellie has always been his rock. His stability. The one who was there for him in his darkest hour. But he's never thought of her as more than a friend...until now. And that's just inconvenient, since he knows what she wants, right down to how she takes her coffee. It isn't him.
Ellie wants a stable life and a white picket fence, so she only dates guys who want that, too. She knows Spencer doesn't do relationships. And besides, high school is over, and he's about to be a US Marine. It could never work...or could it?
Since they want different things, they're just fine remaining friends. That is, until one night changes everything.
Back to You is a sweet, friends-to-lovers military romance, suitable for all ages. This story is adapted from its original version, written by the author.

Angsty, clean friends-to-lovers trope
*I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review*
Story: 3.5
The story was pretty good, although the angst was just about to the point that I had had it, when things finally resolved and I was able to enjoy the rest of the story. To her credit, the author allowed us plenty of time with the newly in-love couple, so that was good.
I really enjoyed the descriptions of boot camp and the terminology and descriptions of some of the experience. This author definitely knows her stuff and she's obviously comfortable writing about the military. I liked her mastery of the terminology and knowledge of the lifestyle, etc. it made her writing more authentic.
Narrators: 3.5 stars
The idea of double narrators to voice the two view-points worked really well and I loved the idea. I've only heard this in one other book and it worked there, as well. That said, these two more read it, than acted it. They definitely acted the dialogue, but I felt that the in-between stuff was simply read. That's not 100% the case in this book, but that is the overall feeling. I think that both narrators have great potential!

Growing up is hard to do
Spencer and Ellie have been best friends forever, and their dreams for the future seemed completely opposed to each other. Spencer wanted to join the Marines like his dad had before him. And Ellie wanted a stable home and life with a white picket fence.
The night before he ships out, Spencer suddenly realizes how much he's always loved Ellie, but he can't tell her. He can't ask her to give up on her dreams, nor does he want to give up on his own.
Can they find a middle ground? You'll have to read to find out.
Many of my family members have military ties. So, some of this hit home for me personally more than it may other readers. But I found it to be realistic, truthful, and it gave some insights to the quirkier parts of military life (like the whole lingo they've made up to replace common English).
My only issue with this audiobook was that Mr. Jalonen's audio quality was not nearly as good as Ms. Perron's. So, when the narrative switched between them, it was jarring. (He had a lot more room tone in his audio that created almost a hissing quality after the clean sounds in hers.) So, I did take off one star for the performance because of that.
But overall, I truly enjoyed the story!

Loved the story! The audio production was poor.
I loved this story. I liked the details about military life. It was so unique, unexpected, and made you proud of our service people. The story and the narrators were excellent!
Note: The production of this audio narrative had some flaws. Lines kept repeating. It sounded like someone was recording it with a tape recorder and would push stop and then press record again when they came back, forgetting exactly where they left off.
I received an ARC of this audiobook and I am leaving a voluntary review.

Enjoyed it
Sweet friends to more romance. As Spencer gets ready to go into the Marine Corp. he realizes that he has romantic feelings for long time best friend Ellie. Ellie is dating someone else but eventually it all works out for them. It is a fun ride to see how it all plays out. I also liked the conversation Spencer finally has with his dad which opens his eyes to trying a relationship with Ellie as well as restoring the father/son relationship.

cute
this was such a sweet story. I'm not usually a fan of books in the younger age group, but it was a sweet story no matter the age. I liked the relationships besides the one with the 2 main characters
there was some production quality issues. it needed another round of editing because there were several instances of the same line being read twice. I'm usually not a big fan of the dual naration like this (each reading an entire chapter and doing all voices) but this one wasn't bad. the voice of ellie definitely sounds young, but worked for this part.

Sweet military romance
I was given a copy of this audio book for an honest review. This sweet, military romance story is well written & narrated beautifully. Off the charts chemistry and burn you to the ground feels. God this book, it will grab your heart and squeeze and not let go. It hit me straight in my feels and had me laughing, crying, mad, and swooning all at the same time. This is book #1 in the “San Diego Marines” series. I can’t wait to read/listen to Matt & Olivia’s continued story in book #2.

I loved Back to You - it sucked me right in! This is such a great story, and you will not want to stop listening until the end! The narrators did a fabulous job, and they made a good story even better. I’m excited for the rest of the series to be released in audiobook.
