About Back to You

Journalist Alex Buchanan has come home to the remote British Columbia town he grew up in, but only because his estranged father is dying. For Alex, the homecoming holds a mix of memories, mostly bad. The only bright spot is reconnecting with Benji Morning, the childhood friend he never truly forgot. As boys, the strength of their bond had frightened Alex. But now that he’s confident in his bisexuality, he’s drawn back to quiet, soft-spoken Ben.

Ben isn’t the same boy Alex left behind, though. His life has been overshadowed by the disappearance of his sister two decades earlier, and now a new break in the case threatens to undo the peace he’s worked so hard to attain.

As Alex struggles to repair the relationship with his father before it’s too late, he finds himself caught up in a twenty-year-old mystery, a story he never expected, and a shocking truth that could affect his and Ben’s future together.

Alex hasn't been home in 20 years.  After a phone call from his sister telling him that their father is in his final days he decides to go home one last time.

Alex and Benji we best friends growing up. They did everything together including sharing their first kiss right before Alex moved away. Of course promises we made to keep in touch, but that never happened.  Alex decided that while home he would look for the boy that stole his first kiss and his heart all those years ago. 

Benji’s sister has been missing for 20 years. His mother has been obsessed with finding her and when a man turns up at her doorstep, she assumes he's with the press to help her with the story of her missing daughter.  Alex is a journalist with a New York magazine, but he isn't there for a story, he's there to find the one person he really came home for. 

Chris did a wonderful job at balancing the second chance love between Alex and Benji and the mystery of Benji’s missing sister.  I never felt that either part was overshadowed by the other. I also felt that the area of BC was just as much a character in this story as the people themselves and I actually enjoyed that.  


I give this book 4 sweet stars.

About Chris Scully

Chris Scully lives in Toronto, Canada. She grew up spinning romantic stories in her head and always dreamed of one day being a writer even though life had other plans. Her characters have accompanied her through career turns as a librarian and an IT professional, until finally, to escape the tedium of a corporate day job, she took a chance and began putting her daydreams down on paper.

Tired of the same old boy-meets-girl stories, she found a home in M/M romance and strives to give her characters the happy endings they deserve. She divides her time between a mundane 9-5 cubicle job and a much more interesting fantasy life. When she’s not working or writing (which isn’t often these days) she loves puttering in the garden and traveling. She is an avid reader and tries to bring pieces of other genres and styles to her stories. While her head is crammed full of all the things she’d like to try writing, her focus is always on the characters first. She describes her characters as authentic, ordinary people—the kind of guy you might meet on the street, or the one who might be your best friend.

Although keeping up with social media is still a struggle given her schedule, she does love to hear from readers.
