Back to You is Victor and Charles' romance and is my favorite in the Directions series. It is a fated mates, Alpha/Omega story, but more than that, it's about a long term committed relationship, the changes it can go through over time, and what can happen when it's not tended. There are some parts that are repetitive from the first book, but they are important to this couple's story and with them, it can be read as a standalone. Even so, I would still recommend reading the first two books in the series as parts of this one overlap with those. This third book in the series has a bit more angst than the others, but it works for the story, and I just love this couple.

A Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words Review An Alisa Review:
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
I’ll start off by saying I was glad to see Victor and Charles story, though much of it was hinted at in the other books. There are also overlapping portions that are basically word for word to the first book that had me skimming a portion or two and while I don’t like to do that I also don’t like reading the same thing twice especially since I read all of these pretty close together.
Victor and Charles have built a life together and are beginning to reflect upon the life they built and how they want to go forward. It was hard to see both of these guys hurt for different reasons but it felt like they used it as a reason to be apart for a while when they could have been working on building up their trust in each other. I was sorry it took Charles being hurt for them to get their head out of their asses and talk about their feelings. It was great to see them essentially become newlyweds which is probably something a lot of couples could benefit from as they get older.
The cover art by Silver Heart Design Studio is nice and similar to those in the series, though I don’t think the baby worked for the basis of this book.
