3. I ve been anxiously awaiting this story since I read the first book in the series Trent fascinated and frustrated me in the previous books and I wanted to explore the mystery of him.While this is a romance about a husband and wife falling in love with each other again, it s also a hard to put down look at the troubles our military heroes face when coming home from war Scott did an excellent job of balancing the romance with the realities It was hard to read at times, and I straight bawled at one [...]

7. This book was a difficult one to read because though what Trent did to his wife Laura and kids makes you want to hate him, yet you cannot because he feels all of that himself and A near death experience changed him, pulling him between his family and his men, so rather than dealing with his family he deploys over and over, pulling away from his wife and then his career implodes with accusations of impropriety and wrong doing He then decides to win back his family if he cannot salvage his career [...]

8. Back to you was a simply stunning read and clearly showed just how strong love in war can be The author dug deep into the psyche of both main characters Trent and Laura, showing each one s emotions as they go from being a close and happy couple to just barely dealing with each deployment separation.I honestly could not get enough of Trent and how is so very lost but still keeps fighting to try and get his life back on track.I laughed and I cried so many times in this read, it was truly an emotio [...]

9. My Review I m always a bit leery about books like this I spent twenty years as a military spouse and sometimes these books cut a little too close to home and those feelings and emotions from that time This one was especially hard hitting because it s about an established couple on the brink of divorce from the stresses from military life I definitely had that jittery, slightly sick feeling to my stomach for the first 20% of this book that relates to that issue, but it was such a good book was wo [...]

10. Knowing something was going to be a tough read, but still wanting desperately to read it is how I have felt about this story since I read the first book in the series Because of You ended with a side story that was just begging to be told and finally we get that story here So worth it, but no lie, it will twist you up inside before it gets better.Captain Trent Davila has hit the very lowest his life can go and it is while he is down there looking around him at the shattered pieces of his life th [...]

15. I knew Back To You was going to be hard to read The previous books in this series gave us an idea of Laura and Trent s crumbling marriage While she s at home working and raising two young kids, he kept deploying over and over again, shutting her out and each time It got to the point where Laura reached her breaking point and had to accept she may have lost her husband completely Then he came home Trent was being accused of something, so he came to home to deal with that, and during this time h [...]

18. I read both Because of You and Until There Was You in 2012, and really enjoyed both I like author Jessica Scott s voice and her stories of life amid and after war Given that she has first hand knowledge of life in the Armed Services, she brings an authenticity to her books that is very, very rare And though I have strong feelings about the wars in the Middle East, and have lost a family member there, I admire that the books are focused on the people, and not so much a political commentary Marria [...]

24. A beautiful story I almost don t know what else to say I have followed Jessica Scott s career since her first novel I then read her non fiction books, and am so glad she is still writing fiction This story felt so real and I know all writers rely on their life experiences to mold a story, but this had so much heart and heartbreak in it that it felt REAL We had met Trent and Laura Davila in Jessica s other novels, but this was their story Trent has been a commander in the army, relieved of his co [...]

25. This one has been a long time coming, Trent putting his family last and Laura slowly getting and fed up I kept expecting Trent to realize that his actions are at the heart of what was going on with him and Laura, but it didn t, not for a long time I was stunned by how Trent s lawyer thought to fix things for him I actually liked that Trent told him not only no, but hell no I hated the lawyer when he went around Trent and asked Laura himself, it was a shitty thing to do and really, how was Laur [...]

29. 3.5 starsMs Scott does internal dialogue very well I liked being inside Trent s head, the only way to know him really as he is a very closed man I also liked that Ms Scott wrote about the internal politicking of the army like any other organisation really where life is not all roses.
