Come Back to Me is a complete standalone romantic suspense featuring a grumpy veteran hero and a sunshine quirky musician heroine with plenty of groveling!

Tee: I hate Butch because he let me go. Except I also love him because I imagined forever with him (even just as friends).

So, basically, it sucks to be me.

When my nonna tells me the only way to get over someone is to get under someone else, in strolls Cody Korhonen—my BFF’s brother-in-law.

Romate. Town marshal. All-round good (delicious) guy.

Getting under him may be easy, but staying under him might cost us everything.

Cody: I fell in love with my pen pal, T. An initial on a piece of paper that kept me sane while I was deployed.

To her, I was ‘Butch.’ My call sign. And with anonymity came safety—we opened our souls to one another.

But war broke me, and I loved her enough to let her go.

Life had other plans.

When I return home, I find my sister-in-law’s best friend is the woman I fell in love with.

And she just moved in.

Our small town is too small for the both of us, never mind having to share a roof when this secret is driving me crazy.

Come Back To Me is a wordy whirlwind of emotions. That sends you on a brilliant joy ride that spans years. It just pulls you in. I must say the letters are what got me.
That aspect of the story stole my heart. Plus Cody’s journey through life had me!!!

I also need to scream from the rooftops that Connor Crais’s narration was just outstanding!!! It just made the audiobook for me.

Thank you G. A. Mazurke for taking us back to Pigeon Creek. I was very excited to begin Cody and Tee’s story in Come Back to Me. I knew this was going to hook me in from the beginning. I may have a slight girl crush on Tee and her feisty personality. The small town, slow burn combined with all the family drama. I’m here for it! Oh and I LOVED the pen pal storyline too.

The chemistry between these two led to overwhelming moments, a little frustration, oh and steamy encounters too. Cody’s kindness and respectfulness to Tee, and Tee’s way with words endeared me to their story even more.

The back and forth between the supporting characters and especially with the FMC and MMC banter, delightful! I love this kind of writing, I feel even more immersed in their story because of it!

I am really enjoying the crossovers within the universes! This makes me want to go back and revisit!

What is there to say about Stella Hunter and Connor Crais….their performances as Tee and Cody had me completely immersed in this book. Tee and Cody’s vulnerabilities, strengths, determination and love are perfectly balanced with Stella and Connor’s performance.

Excitedly I was sent an Advanced Listener Copy. Thoroughly enjoyable listen!

Thank you G. A. Mazurke for this beautifully written story. You certainly have a way with words! Looking forward to what you have for us in the future!

Cody & Tee

The story, the narration, is chef’s kiss. Tee will keep a smile on your face, she is sunshine, laughter and quirky, she is so easy to just want to hug and love. Cody is more serious dealing with the loss of his best friends, he is enamoured by Tee and her music. He understands and loves her quirky. After writers block, Serena came back and hit this one out of the park. The narrators have done an excellent audio with the characters.

These narrators nailed it! Funny & Sexy!! I Loved it so much!!

I love being back in the 7C's! The return of beloved characters and introduction of new ones. Tee & Cody are perfect for each other. Tee is our ADHD musical heroine who the author describes as "Nero spicy." Cody is a military veteran who is now the local marshal. They begin as pen pals not knowing they have real world connections. Tee is best friends with Zee from the book 1. She comes to live with Zee and the Korhonen’s, unknown to Tee her pen pal love is now her roommate. When she finds out Cody has some groveling to do to earn her forgiveness for sending her a Dear John letter and ending their relationship before coming home from the military. This book has all the tropes: grumpy/sunshine, romantic suspense, and some epic groveling. You will love Come Back to Me!

Amazing story & Narration

It really is amazing to me how many different but deep well-rounded characters in these books! Sometimes, like with Tee, I spend half the book yelling that someone needs to help her get her head straight, but that’s only because the people in the book are so well developed they feel real even down to the little idiosyncrasies that make each of them special. Now I will admit that multiple times I wanted to scream about her being more emotionally stunted than Cody who was actually emotionally and physically abused because she wouldn’t let go of a mistake he made at the lowest most desperate point in his adult life and she kept bringing it up, but then reading on had me realizing that some of her more annoying tendencies are my own shortcomings as well and then I appreciated that she found someone who understood and was patient enough to love her for those traits not just in spite of them. After the 5 points and Sinners I didn’t think I’d like the uber rich small town, but I really do! Though I know I’m a sucker for large families full of brothers and how they interact.

Serena/G.A. never fails to create amazing characters!

This was such a good book. I loved getting to know Tee and Cody. Tee is one of my favorite characters that G.A/Serena has written. She is sassy, sweet, loyal, spunky and so much more. Cody was amazing. I'm glad he was willing to do whatever it took to earn Tee's forgiveness. This book was sweet, steamy and so worth the read/listen.

I loved Connor as Cody. I think he did a great job and really brought him to life. I did not like Stella's performance of Zee as much. I felt like she missed some of the inflection and spunk that Tee had. It was a good performance, but I wanted more. I just felt like it was missing something.

Overall, I really enjoyed this audio book and recommend giving it a listen.

I was sent an advanced listening copy.

“…she’s worth the sacrifice of having her close but not being mine. If I can fight a war, I can fight myself—for her sake.”

Oh my heart, hanging with Tee, Vee, and the Korhonen men again was such a treat! G.A. Mazurke takes us back to the idyllic Seven C’s Ranch and the cozy Canadian town of Pigeon Creek. Ms. Mazurke writes captivating, epic love stories with a multilayered plot that will hook you from page one. Christy MacFarlane was callously dumped by her pen pal via a Dear John letter. Now the neurospicy musical genius is back in her hometown, healing her wounded heart and living with her bestie among the Korhonen hotties. Cody Korhonen is back in Pigeon Creek recuperating from a tragic aerial collision as he adjusts his new career as a Marshal. I love it when the stoic grump turns bumbling lovable dumdum when fate sets him on a collision course with the one who got away. This hidden identity, epistolary, close proximity romance made me guffaw and swoon in the same breath. I cannot wait for more of G.A.’s brand of heartmelting, small-town, spicy AF, romantic suspense!

Stella Hunter and Connor Crais were phenomenal in the Come Back to Me audiobook! Stella gives a passionate performance in her portrayal of Tee; she captured every bit of Tee’s vivacious, beguiling, feisty, and delightfully chaotic personality. Connor perfectly portrayed the grumpy, guilt-ridden, irresistible Cody. I loved all of their characterizations. Their pacing and tone always pair beautifully; they brought G.A.’s witty banter, thrilling suspense, and delicious HEA off the page flawlessly.

Fabulous Love Story!

I knew this story would be good, but I did not expect the brilliant humor. Tee is a strong, vibrant character, and I loved how her ADHD was written.
I could not have picked better narrators they both captured the main character characters personalities perfectly.

Another great story

I've been so excited for what was next in 7Cs and omggg was it worth the wait. Cody and Tee are just freaking everything and I loved them so much.

I feel blessed by the book gods because secret pen pals isn't a super common trope but it's one of my favorites and this is my second time accidentally reading it this week. This one is particularly fun given they knew each other prior to writing and Tee didn't know it was Cody until she was told and even he didn't know for a while. I love how Gemma sprinkled in their old and new letters throughout the story too, she's always so great at adding in exchanges into her stories.

While I still consider this contemporary romance, it does have a touch of darkness that I really enjoyed. We get to hear about some of our Sinners friends from her Serena books, which is always a treat. And it has me wondering if they're expanding into Canada to help contain the Wolves 👀

The audio was an absolute treat. Stella Hunter and Connor Crais were phenomenal and I loved this listen so so much.

Thank you so much Gemma for the advanced copies!

So So Good
