She's hiding a secret.

He needs answers.

Together, they have to deal with a surprise neither of them was expecting.

Chloe

Moving back to my hometown is the last thing I want to do after the way I had to leave.

As a single mom and journalist, things are... challenging. To say the least. The stress of tight money and having nobody to help raise my five-year-old son is nearly enough to drown me some days. But I just landed an amazing new job at the New Orleans newspaper, and things are looking up. The only drawback is that everything about my old neighborhood is different.

Everything except for Luke, my ex-best friend's brother-in-law. He's exactly the same guy he was when I left while he was still sleeping after our one-night-stand six years ago.

When I bump into him at a wedding I've been assigned to write about for the society pages, it's obvious that he wants a repeat of that hot holiday night. And then I get much more than a story.

More than I ever bargained for.

Luke

I seriously thought she was gone forever.

No, really, I've been in love Chloe since I was a kid, and the one time I got to do everything I ever dreamed of with her, she was gone before the next morning. I never saw her again.

Until the wedding of one of my Marine Corps buddies, when she just magically reappears. And then, it's time to finish what we started all those years ago. The holiday magic is working in my favor when I find out she's living in my neighborhood again, and I must be at the top of Santa's Nice List.

But then I bump into her at the neighborhood park... with her five-year-old son... who has eyes that look a lot like...

I can't go there yet. I have to earn her trust first, and the weird bruises that keep popping up on her body are only making everything more suspicious.

And when she starts randomly fainting?

Oh yeah, it's going to take some serious work to sort out this hot mess.

Lucky for Chloe, I'm exactly the guy for the job. She and her son are going to be just fine, I'll make sure of it.

But Chloe and me?

That's going to take some serious Christmas magic, and I can only hope that the truth brings us back together instead of tearing us apart forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such an Amazing story!

Luke's book in the Romance in New Orleans series is the book I never knew I needed! Luke has always been a "who is this guy" character for me from the previous books, he piqued my interest early because he was a bit flakey, and a bit of a trouble maker, so I knew his book was going to be interesting! I was NOT let down. Katherine wrote Luke so beautifully even I fell in love with him! Chloe was no different, she was a mystery for a lot of this book, but you couldn't help wanting to wrap your arms around her and protect her! This world that Katherine has created is so beautiful, but also so full of real life situations, that you really can't help feeling like you are a part of this friend circle she has created!

This was a book that I took my time with. It was well written and involved characters from the two prior books as well as the prequel story. There were some very heavy topics and I thought they were written very intelligently.

I was not prepared to fall for Luke in the very first chapter. He was so determined to save Chloe. And his interactions with Jackson were so heartfelt. Chloe’s inner monologue was very relatable. She was such a strong character but had some very serious problems that affected her ability to trust her relationships or feelings, especially for Luke. I felt like Liza and Brennan’s storyline kind of overshadowed Luke and Chloe’s story at times. I really wanted more of Luke and Chloe, and Jackson. I absolutely loved their HEA and the bonus epilogue was so sweet!

Love the sweet love story of Luke and Chloe. It's good to see couples overcome so many terrible hardships that are in real life. Can't wait for the next book on Gabe and Ruth.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars! Young love, life in the way and HEA!
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2022
Back To You is the third installment in the Romance in New OrLeans Series (RNOLA), a second and most important chance at love between Luke Martinellii and Chloe Laurent. It can be read as a standalone, but I would suggest to read book #1 and #2, for a better understanding of the background and friends and family dynamics.

Luke and Chloe knew each other and had a crush since childhood, a connection that came to full physical fruition one drunken night, five years ago. They haven't seen each other since, until Chloe comes home to start working for the NO paper, under Scott's guidance in a coverage of Skye's (and Brennan) non-profit organization. The old spark reignits, they're once more drawn to each other, but their journey will be a bit sinuous and impredictable.

This is a smartly concocted narrative about old infatuations, renewed ensnarement and a well deserved entanglement and irrevocably falling in love. It's also, a story of struggle and superation for both, just in different matters. Chloe returned to Algiers Point to settle her life, earning enough to take good care of her son, refusing any circumstance with a semblance to her neglected upbringing and, perhaps, taking care of herself as well, when her future and situation permits. Bearing the weight of the comments on his unresolved life: no serious job or perpectives, no personal life or intentions to take root, Luke wants to prove everybody wrong, specially his brother and feels the winds of change upon Chloe's returning.
Chloe and Luke were an oportunity to each other, the catalyst to change their lives around, to stop being judged, to make things happen, to put their existences on its axis.

This account deals with sensitive matters, that can be trigering to some people (please read the TW in the beginning) and were treated with the sensitivity needed, a big part on the plot and a lesson in priorities, healing and overcoming and, most of all, l❤ve and aceptance.
As we now know the friends and family crew are elemental to the series but, IMO, the 'noise' around the protagonists was a bit distracting from the storyline itself and I had wished to see a bit more of their growing together and intimacy as a vehicle to conquer their obstacles and getting their HEA.
It took me a tiny bit to get fully invested in the book, but once I was in, I couldn't put it down!
Now, gimme Gabriel!

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful First Day of Forever
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2022
Katherine L Evans’s books bring all the feels, and Back to You is no exception. Continuing with the theme of found family and HEA from heartbreak, Back to You brings Luke front and center and it’s emotional, and angsty, and incredibly beautiful. I love the way Evans tackles Chloe’s broken life, painting a picture of strength and need, friendship and maternal love, and vulnerability while learning to trust. Paired with Luke, their history and future are beautifully developed through humor, tears, and mutual goal of being better people so they can be there for others. Watching their growth and transformations through Evans words is poetic and heart wrenching.

I love characters who are so much more than they appear. And not only did Luke surprise me, I think he surprised himself. Luke is that unlikely hero we all love - the crass, scrappy, diamond in the rough. The one who rarely shows who he is beneath the surface, but when that protective, loyal, defender comes out, it is glorious and strong and so freaking lovable.

Evans employs characters from her prior novels in this series to help advance not only Luke and Chloe’s story, but the overarching thread connecting the characters to each other and their combined tales. The interactions between and among Evans characters are authentic, intriguing, and build solid tension as well as harmony. This is a book to be savored, with true depth and intensity. And the breadcrumbs Evans continues to leave have me craving more of her NOLA family.
