About this listen

At Santa Cruz Central High School, they called them the misfits, the outcasts, the weirdos. But most of us knew them as the Lost Boys....

Holden Parish survived his parents' horrific attempts to make him the perfect son. After a year's stint in a Swiss sanitarium to recover, he has vowed to never let anything, nor anyone, trap him again. Brilliant but broken, he seeks refuge behind alcohol, meaningless sex, and uses his wicked sense of humor to keep people away. He only has to ride out one year in the coastal town of Santa Cruz with his aunt and uncle before he inherits his billions and can make his escape and disappear.

Falling in love is not in the plans.

River Whitmore. Star quarterback of the Central High football team, Prom King, Mr. Popular, ladies' man. He leads the perfect life...except it's all a lie. His father has River's future in the NFL all planned out, while River's dream is to run the family business in the town that he loves. But his mother's illness is tearing the family apart and River is becoming the glue that holds them together. How can he break his father's heart when it's already shattering? River's carefully crafted façade explodes when he meets Holden Parish. A guy who dresses in coats and scarves year-round, drinks expensive vodka, and spends his free time breaking into houses for the fun of it. They're complete opposites. River seeks a quiet life, away from the spotlight. Holden would rather have dental surgery than settle down.

Holden's demons and River's responsibilities threaten to keep them apart, while their undeniable attraction crashes them together again and again, growing into something deep and real no matter how they resist.

Until one terrible night changes everything.

Interesting

I am not homophobic but don't agree with homosexuality.I hold nothing against those who are but it is not right.I liked to story of the experiences the boys went through. Two young men who were funding themselves through the pain and trauma of coding so so those who could or could not handle them in their situation. In the end acceptance came from those who cared.

Incredible Love Story!

I absolutely adored Holden and River's story.

After reading When You Come Back To Me it instantly became my favorite M/M book title. Holden and River's story is beautiful and incredibly well written. Emma Scott has put so much heart and soul into these characters.

Eric London and Zachary Johnson did an amazing job bringing River and Holden to life in the audio version of When You Come Back To Me. The narrators captured so much of the heart and emotions of the characters throughout this incredible love story.

I would rate this book and its audio more than five stars if I could.

Heartfelt

What a wonderful story, raw and realistic, tolerance, denial and acceptance. I continue to be very impressed with the Lost Boys series.

Great series

Found each story real and enjoyable. Good cross overs, back drops connections of each story limited enough but did not take away from the main characters. A must to add to your list.

Amazing tearjerker

After 450+ MM books, this lands easily in the top 5. If you like god of fury, this uses similar metaphors and emotive writing. 10/10

five stars

When you came back to me by Emma Scott. Omg where do I start. River is the most sweetest character, he is trying to be strong for everyone and so the right thing by all but try to be the best person he can be. Honestly the fact that he was pining after one guy for the better part of a decade was just one of those moments when you want to grab them and say "oh honey".

Holden, bloody selfish, caring, traumatic, loveable, Holden. I was living chapter by chapter as I didn't know if I was going to want to hug him or strangle him by the end of it. I understand why he kept running when it got to much for him but poor river, all I was thinking when he left during the night was he was an absolute flog. But as much as you hate him he is a character you just can't help but love.

There are parts of this book that had me so angry but also there are parts where I had to close it for a while and process how I felt because it just makes you have all the feels
