When a Marine Chaplain knocks on her door, Jessa’s heart breaks—someone she loves is dead. Killed in action, but is it Riley or Kit? Her brother or her boyfriend…


Three months earlier Marine Kit Ryan finds himself back home on leave and dangerously drawn to his best friend Riley’s sister, Jessa—the one girl he can’t have. Exhausted from fighting his feelings, Kit finally gives in, and Jessa isn’t strong enough to resist diving headfirst into a passionate relationship.
But what was just supposed to be a summer romance develops into something far greater than either of them expected. Jessa’s finally found the man of her dreams and Kit’s finally discovered there’s someone he’d sacrifice everything for.When it’s time for Kit to redeploy, neither one is ready to say goodbye. Jessa vows to wait for him and Kit promises to come home to her. No matter what.
But as Jessa stands waiting for the Marine Chaplain to break her heart, she can’t help but feel that Kit has broken his promise…

Riley or Kit? Kit or Riley? Her brother or her boyfriend? Who’s coming home to her?

I truly didn't know what to expect of Come Back To Me.  So i stepped in to the story of Kit and  Jessa blank. It truly surprised me! The plot and the characters where very intense. The author created a nice line of tension with Kit and Riley going to Afghanistan as marines, and she leaves you guessing for quite a while who comes back home and who, sadly, will not. The love story between Kit and Jessa was also VERY intense, and I must point that this, as it is marked as a YA novel, not a book suitable for very young readers, as it contains quite a few, ahum, steamy scenes between Jessa and Kit. But besides that, it is a very entertaining and gripping novel, I didn't expect it to be this good!!
