Reviewed by Grace for Sweet Spot Book BlogI 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 more and more 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 he learns to face his own demons and accept responsibility for what he did to his family.Boy, did this story tear me apart!  Jessica Scott wrote a story filled with realistic and raw emotions.  She made me feel the anguish, the disappointments, and the helplessness for both Laura and Trent that I really couldn't take a side.  Trent basically had to re-wire his body and mind to adjust to being home. He literally didn't know how to be with his family, cute hamsters and all.  When this story begins, Laura has waited so long for Trent that she's actually ready to move on.  I loved how the broken dishwasher Laura is dealing with at home is symbolic of her broken marriage...all laid out in pieces.  I loved that we get to see their good friends again (Shane, Jen, Vic and Nicole) and witness them all supporting each other, injecting wise words and humor throughout.Back to You is certainly a story of second chances.  It's a story of a soldier coming home.  It's a journey of a husband and wife slowly nurturing their neglected marriage.  Thank you, Jessica Scott, for using your background, experiences, and expertise to give Laura and Trent such a touching and well-deserved story! *A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.*
