Bah-humbug!This Christmas, all I wanted was to wallow in self-pity until the woman I thought was the love of my life could explain why she left me at the altar. Instead, my buddy, Zach forced holiday merriment on me. I thought it was going to be a tinsel-laced nightmare… until his sister, Alexa, showed up. Turns out, she grew up into a gorgeous present I was insanely tempted to unwrap. Lucky … unwrap. Lucky for me, she shared my desire to meet under the metaphorical mistletoe… and let things heat up from there.
For the first time in months, Laura, my ex, wasn’t haunting my thoughts like the Ghost of Christmas Past. Which, of course, is exactly why she had to pick that moment to call and say she wanted to talk. I could only hope St. Nick had a playbook in his sleigh because things were about to get complicated.
From author S.L. Sterling comes a sizzling holiday romance hot enough to roast your chestnuts!

Back to You this Christmas
By S. L. Sterling
Main Characters: Alexa and Drew
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
4 out of 5 stars
This was a cute friends to lovers holiday romance. It was a quick enjoyable book of about 180 pages. Alexa is Drew’s best friend’s sister. I recommend reading this book.
Fast-paced steamy holiday read. After being dumped Drew just wants to be left alone for the holidays but his best-friend Zach won’t let him. When he sees Zach’s sister again, sparks fly but what will happen when his ex calls. Entertaining read with plenty of drama and great chemistry, a sweet holiday read. I liked it.
From the cover alone, I wanted to read Back to You this Christmas. I couldn’t have picked a better one for this book. It has Christmas feels galore! This was quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. Much like a holiday category romance back in the day, which I adored by the way, these characters are going through quite a lot. Drew and Alexa have known each other for years but she was always just his best friend’s sister. In fact, he sees Alexa’s family as his as well. That’s why when he comes home for Christmas after having a rough year, he doesn’t know how to process how she makes him feel. Alexa’s life isn’t fulfilling her like it used to. She wants more than jetting to exotic places and taking pictures. She wants roots and a family. She always liked Drew but figured he would never be interested in her. When they both give into what they are feeling, then things spin out of control. I had never read S.L. Sterling before but I was delighted with this story. Sweet and sexy with kissing in the snow, Back to You this Christmas will put you in the holiday spirit.
Can Christmas at home turn their bad year around?
Six months ago, Drew was going to marry his girlfriend of fifteen years. She stood him up. He’s not a cheat (love that). And he’s in touch with his emotions. Even if he wants to know why his ex left him at the altar.
Alexa also had a less than stellar year. She’s a runner, as in when things get hard, she splits.
When Laura comes back, will Drew choose her or take a chance on Alexa, his buddy’s sister?

Christmas romance
Another really well-written book by Sterling. I agree with another reviewer… it could be a Hallmark movie! And with just being released at the perfect time of year, what more could you ask for?!
Alexa has been away, working in Europe. She’s a bit miserable, misses home and decides to head back for Christmas. Drew has been left at the altar, and is heartbroken. He’s convinced by his best friend Zach (who also happens to be Alexa’s brother) to also head home for the holidays too.
They both need to get their lives back on track. When they do see each other for the first time in what’s been years, there is some major, mutual attraction! But will they act upon it? What will others think?
This story about Drew and Alexa has plenty of sizzling chemistry, lots of drama, and the perfect amount of love. It’s heart-warming, sweet and romantic. A perfect read for the upcoming festive season.
I’d definitely recommend this one! I’m never disappointed in this author’s work, and can’t wait to read what’s coming next!

Alexa is unhappy with her life. She’s a photographer, and has been working in Europe. She got involved with her boss, and when that went south, he fired her. So she comes home at Christmas. For good. Drew’s fiancee left him at the altar. Literally. His best friend is Zach, Alexa’s brother. They’ve always been close – Drew spent a lot of time at their house when they were children because his own home was less than perfect. So he comes home with Zach for Christmas. Alexa’s had a crush on him for practically forever, and he’s attracted to her as well. But his ex-fiancee isn’t done with her drama yet… This is a beautiful story. Alexa and Drew have unbelievable chemistry together and are on a slow burn, until they cross that line… And then they’re not sure how to handle being together when they’re in her parents’ house. The story is well-written, and I enjoyed seeing them make their happy ending.

This book is a great romance showing that some things are just meant to be. The flow of the storyline keeps you hooked from the first page. The interactions make you smile, laugh cringe and breathless. Well written characters and plot give this story a compelling can’t put it down vibe. A superb way to escape into the written word.

An Unexpected Christmas Gift
Drew and Lexi grew up together. Drew was her brother’s best friend. This dynamic makes things a bit complicated, but the heart doesn’t follow our silly rules. This is a steamy, Christmas romance. If you enjoy contemporary romances that sizzle, you might like this story. Find out if Drew and Lexi give love a chance.
This was an interesting book. It was thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
This was a really sweet holiday read I like a brother’s best friend romance and thought Lexi and Drew were great characters and really good together both have some baggage because of there past relationships though. This would make a wonderful Xmas movie.
Back to you this Christmas is a wonderful, Christmas romance! This brother’s best friend romance was very enjoyable! The characters (Drew, Alexa, and brother Zach) were the perfect combination of family and friends. I loved the backstories of both Drew and Alexa as well as the storyline that gives them their happily ever after! This is a kind of like a Hallmark Christmas movie with snow-melting heat! Really loved this one! Author SL Sterling threw down all the feels in this one! LOVED IT!
