Can you take a second chance at first love? Find out in the irresistible new Sweetbriar Cove romance from New York Times bestselling author, Melody Grace!
Cassie Kinsella can’t help acting on impulse… which is probably why she’s sleeping on her grandpa’s couch in Sweetbriar Cove without a job or steady relationship to her name. She’s determined to turn things around this time: no more wild … more wild adventures or reckless mistakes, however tempting they may be. Mistakes like Wes Banner; annoyingly handsome, wildly arrogant — and the first boy to ever break her heart…
Wes Banner can’t understand why Cassie still gets under his skin. It’s been years since their summer romance went up in flames, and seeing her again should be a breeze. He’s a grown man now: wealthy, successful… and apparently, still undone by a single touch. No matter where he turns, Cassie is right there in front of him: as beautiful and infuriating as ever, making him wonder if his fancy new life is worth anything at all without her in it…
She should know better; he should be stronger than this. But the fire between them is burning hotter than ever, and soon, Wes and Cassie are reliving every last kiss — and plenty more besides. But can they take a second chance on first love? Or will old wounds and stubborn pride stand in the way of their happily-ever-after?

Happy reading!
Sweetbriar Cove is the kind of place where dreams come true and HEA’s really exist. Melody Grace writes the perfect romance.
A sweet and heart-warming second chance romance!
I really enjoyed this second chance romance. I loved Cassie and Wes. Their banter is one of my favorite things about this book. They had me laughing especially Cassie. She is someone I want to be friends with. One of my other favorite things about this book is the scenes with Cassie and her family. You can tell how close the Kinsella family is. Once you start this one you’ll have a hard time putting it down. I got really invested in the characters. Though I did want to knock some sense into Wes a couple times. Archie is an adorable addition to the cast of characters. I love books with animals/pets in them. This is a book you don’t want to miss out on!
I really do love this series and every book I read I love even more. This sweet briar book was amazing!! Wes and Cassie really do make a perfect match. Hes stubborn and shes just as bad with a side of sassiness. I love the misunderstanding and lack of communication in the story made for a great story line. I thought it was amazingly written and had such a suck me in story line. I really would recommend you read this. It can be a standalone but all the characters in the book were great!! LOVED IT!!!!

I loved Cassie and Wes story! Their story was flawlessly written and heartfelt. The was lots of chemistry between the two of them. As opposite as they are they totally worked! Loved every page of their story!
“She looked like she wanted to kiss him and kill him, all in the same breath.”
Back to You follows the story of Wes and Cassie. While their story is the 12th book in the Sweetbriar Cove Series, this book can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone novel.
Cassie is known best for her impulsiveness. So, when she loses her job, she finds herself couch surfing on her grandpa’s couch. Cassie is determined to make her stay in Sweetbriar Cove, a good one. No more recklessness, no more mistakes. That sounds good and all until a blast from the past, makes her want to break all her rules….
Cassie and Wes were a terrific match. I fell in love with their story instantly and couldn’t wait to see if they’d be able to turn things around. You see, these two share a very intimate past. They loved hard and hurt even harder. So, when fate brings these two ex lovers back together, they can’t help but wonder if they should take the chance. I really enjoyed watching these two go through the motions and try to see if there was anything left to salvage. Even after all these years, after all the pain and heartache, these two burned hotter than ever. Wes and Cassie are the couple you can’t help but root for.
Back to You is a terrific addition to the Sweetbriar Cove Series. It has the perfect blend of romance, steam and heartache. There is some drama, but for the most part, it’s on the lighter side. Back to You is the kind of story you can easily read in a single sitting and the characters will have you falling head over heels for them.
Wes and Cassie were old friends who became more, so much more, but then in the blink of an eye they are no more. Cassie is back in Sweetbriar after losing her job in LA. She see’s her old flame Wes and freezes. She knew he was in town and he knew she was in town but she can’t avoid as much as she would like too. Wes has moved back to town and when he finds out Cassie is back in town he actively searches her out.
Melody has masterfully written an amazing story of young love lost to soon but when they try to rekindle it mistakes are made. Melody has done a great job of engaging the reader and leaves you thinking can 2 stubborn Ox get past themselves and put the past behind them and make a go of a blazing hot as fire love or will past and current misunderstandings be the end of it.
This is the 12th book in this awesome series and is Cassie and Wes’ story. These two were high school sweethearts until miscommunication separated them. Now Cassie is back in town, but will rekindle their 2nd chance romance? This is a well written story which is sweet, witty and an all-consuming and addictive page turner. I was hooked and intrigued throughout, and I highly recommend for all readers.
I love my visits to Sweetbriar Cove and I was excited when I found out we were getting another book in this series of stand-alone’s and Back to You did not disappoint it was everything I expected from Melody Grace and her wonderful characters.
Cassie and Wes have history, he broke her heart and it’s not going to be easy for him to get her to open up and give him one more chance but that was 10 years ago and it seems fate is determined to give this couple another chance but will Cassie be prepared to let the man who destroyed her into her life again and will she open up her heart to him once more ….
Sweetbriar Cove is one of those small towns we would all love to live in and it was great catching up with the friendships and the banter the residents share, that being said I haven’t read every book in this series and yet I was still captivated and drawn in by Cassie and Wes’s reconnection as they got their second chance at love. The characters are easy to connect with and the banter they share flows, I smiled, I sighed and at times I giggled as Cassie and Wes got to know each other this time as adults and I found myself hoping they got the HEA they both deserved. Another great read from Melody Grace and I’m looking forward to where we go next with the residents of Sweetbriar Cove.
4.5 Star review of Back To You (Sweetbriar Cove #12) by Melody Grace
Melody Grace is a relatively new author to me as I have only read a couple of this authors books. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet and romantic story about Cassie Kinsella and Wes.
I love small town romances and this one ticked the boxes for me as I became invested in Cassie and Wes’s story. The writing was strong and descriptive and I found myself visualizing Cape Cod as I was reading.
This is a second chance at love story, with characters that you cannot help but become engaged in. They are so easy to relate to that I found myself cheering Cassie and Wes on as they reconnected. Both need to get over the hurts of the past, particularly Cassie since Wes broke her heart and chip away the walls they have built to protect themselves.
The banter and friendship between them was funny and heartwarming. The chemistry between them is intense and despite themselves they cannot ignore the build up as it threatens to burst into flames.
Will they be able to make their relationship work or will the hurts of the past be too much to overcome?
Another hit for Melody with Sweetbriar Cove! 5 sweet stars for this one!
Meet Cassie Kinsella, the only girl in the family, and she’s back in town at her grandpa’s home, after losing her job in California. The last person she wants to see is the guy that broke her heart so long ago, Wes, but she’s not so lucky on that. These two sort of pick up where they left off, always bickering with each other. Can they both get past the hurt they unknowingly caused each other, or will that be what keeps them apart? Read along and find out!
I love this series, it’s one of those that you never hope ends! Looking forward to #13! Grab this one asap!
