When I picked up Man of my Dreams last year I was taken by how real Mia, Declan and Noah were. Now don't get me wrong I love my billionaire playboys, my sports stars, my rock gods, but what I adored is that Man of my Dreams centre's around an everyday couple Mia and Declan, college sweethearts, who married straight out school, who seem to have an idyllic life, but after almost five years of marriage and two beautiful daughters, things got in the way. Its gradual, so much so that it blind sighted both of them. Bonds were shaken, loyalties were tested, and when Declan shared a kiss with a stranger whilst away on a business trip, Mia's world comes crashing down around her. Given the chance to finally look at her life, at the decisions she's made she takes the opportunity to step away from her marriage and to reconnect with the one who got away Noah.Reconnecting with him gives Mia the time to truly examine her life leading up to this point, can she walk away from her life with Declan and pursue this relationship with Noah or was Declan always the man of her dreams?Back To You picks up right where Man of My Dreams left off, with Mia choosing Declan, but everything isn't all sunshine and rainbows, recommitting to one another after the lies, the deceit and the infidelity takes time, and requires both Declan and Mia to be honest with each other, possibly more so than they have ever been with each other.The story Faith Andrews weaves here is honest and true, heartbreaking in its simplicity, and for the same reasons I connected with Man of My Dreams, I again connected with Back To You. I think whether you've married for one, or five or fifteen years, or in my case three, you can understand how the breakdown in a relationship happens, how you pledge to love, honour and obey on your wedding day, when really your vowels should read that you pledge to continue to build you relationship, strengthen it everyday, to continue to love and fight for one another, even when work, and mortgage and kids become your primary focuses. Faith Andrews Back To You was the perfect conclusion to Mia and Declan's story, you yet again proved that everyday people have an exceptional story to tell.
