"He's determined to confront the past she's desperate to forget. When Adeline Green's now-famous high school crush descends on her quiet life, a public spotlight threatens to expose her deepest regret. After eight years of trying to bury her mistakes under a life of service, she's broke financially and spiritually. The last thing she can afford is feelings for the man who took center stage in her past--even if he does claim to know the secret to her redemption. Gannon Vaughn and his rock band, Awestruck, have conquered the music industry, but he can't overcome his feelings for Adeline. When he hears she's struggling, he sets out to turn her life around and win back the love he lost to poor choices eight years ago. But when Gannon's fame and their mutual regrets jeopardize their relationship anew, will grace be enough to bring them back to God and each other?"--Page 4 of cover… (més)

The book tackles some sensitive issues like suicide, depression, drugs and domestic abuse which may be a trigger for some. The author does look at these issues with an honesty at how these topics can affect someone. We get some background on the characters and how their lives interacted with each other. Fitz is a focal point between Adeline and Gannon. There may have been signs of Fitz’s depression when they were in high school together, but it was overlooked because fame was knocking at their door. Adeline didn’t follow the group and stopped playing all together. It has been years since the tragedy happened yet she still blames herself. I found it interesting that she volunteered for everything maybe to not feel guilty about what happened or maybe she thought if she did all this volunteer work people would think she was a good person. Her shame has caused her not to face the truth and carries her burden deep so no one will ever know.

Gannon showing up after all these years unsettles Adeline. Over the years the band that Gannon is in has become famous. I liked the look at what a band goes through as they start to get popular. It reminded me of bands today who break into the Christian genre. They have to find the right songs that reflect their beliefs and a label that will stand with them. Gannon is very determined to get Adeline to deal with her past and learn to forgive herself. I will say he never gave up and that is just what she needs.

The book examines two people who share a past and how they each coped with what happened. The honest look at struggles that we face when we don’t feel deserving of grace is well represented by Adeline and her constant battle with forgiveness. In a way she seemed upset that Gannon has moved on and hasn’t paid for his sin. I wonder if we do that to people ? We get upset when someone is forgiven when we don’t think they deserve it. The bottom line is we are not to question God’s ways.

With characters that struggle with the past this book is a great lesson in redemption. I loved how much Gannon wanted to help Adeline and his genuine compassion for her to regain her faith is unquestionable. The author slowly restores their friendship to a point where they can be real with other. Putting aside the tabloids and flurry of paparazzi, they can finally open up and heal wounds that have prevented both of them to be free.

Get ready for a journey where two people seek redemption and forgiveness. The road is not easy as one tries to play hero over and over again. Gannon thinks his worth is always being there when someone is in trouble. He can’t let them down for fear of failure. Adeline can’t find her way to where God is waiting to comfort her. Her journey will take her to a place where healing is and freedom is felt. It’s an emotional story that opens the door to grace and a real relationship with the One who loves unconditionally.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion. ( )

In To Bring You Back, Emily Conrad gives readers a genuine look into the chains of shame and the exhaustion of holding onto the past. Of maintaining a mask so others don’t see your failings. The author also takes that guilt, shame, and pain and turns it into something beautiful.

Gannon and Adeline are broken people. They’ve done things they’re not proud of. They are trying to live better lives, though in different ways. And I rooted for them to heal—to heal together and carve a happy future for the two of them.

Conrad tackles topics like drugs, alcohol, sex, and mental illness with a gentle hand that speaks the truth in love instead of raining judgment down on these characters. The reconciliation and redemption in this story are so prominent, so well written, that it shines the light on the miracles that God works in relationships and lives.

Add to that the rock star element and the slow-burn romance, and the author hit all the right notes in this story.

To Bring You Back, by Emily Conrad is the first book in the Rhythms of Redemption Romances series. This is a nicely written story of high school friends with a past that meet up years later. They both are struggling with what happened one night years ago and the results. Adeline is focused on the guilt, while Gannon has turned to God.
I really enjoyed reading this story and look forward to the rest of the series. I enjoyed how Gannon was able to be a successful rock star and write songs of his faith. I felt for Adeline as she appeared to be stuck in the grieving process and thinking works were needed to pay for the guilt she carried. It was encouraging to see the change that happened with Adeline when she accepted help from others. This story does touch on topics of suicide, drugs and alcohol and sex.
I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of this story, this is my honest review.
