Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Brought up in a relatively small town in Hertfordshire, C F White managed to do what most other residents try to do and fail—leave.

She eventually settled for pie and mash, cockles and winkles and a bit of Knees Up Mother Brown to live in the East End of London; securing a job and creating a life, a home and a family.

She writes gritty British based stories about imperfect men falling in love against the odds and has been accused of sprinkling a little humour into them too.

    These two have had a lot of trials but have come shining through. I have loved their story from beginning to end.

    This is the final book in the District Line trilogy and while it is a complete story on its own – you definitely need to read/listen to Kick Off & Break Through first.

    Come Back starts out a little slower but in some respects I enjoyed the fact that the first half was low angst. We were able to enjoy Jay & Seb settling into their new normal as a cohabitating couple. About half way, things start to pick up and their relationship is threatened by career trajectory, media/public speculation, injury, a blast from the past, and family revelations.

    At one point I was a little worried that “the big misunderstanding” was going to be predictable, but was pleasantly surprised by the direction C F White took our characters on during their journey. There are a lot of obstacles to overcome, but the angst isn’t repetitive or needlessly drawn out – which I loved.

    There’s an adorable HEA for Jay & Seb as well as a lovely epilogue. Overall, this trilogy has been wonderful and I’m so glad to have listened.

    Piers Ryman is a great narrator. While I still feel that his voice sounds a bit older than our couple – he does Jay & Seb so well that it works. His voice for Stephen continues to be spot-on smarmy (skin crawling listening to those parts). This is a big cast with a lot of male characters and Ryman gives them all a unique sound and personality. I look forward to more by him.

    I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

    When I first embarked upon the story of the entitled emerging rock star and the struggling footballer, I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself into. When the third book drew to a close, I know I’d found something special. Something with that extra awesomeness.

    In some ways, the story is simple – two guys who bump into each other, discover each is gay, and move into a relationship. A few bumps, a few bruises, a broken leg, a move across the ocean, fame, and homophobia and voila, a series you have.

    This book begins with Jay and Seb settling into life living together. This is Britain in the mid-2000’s, so we’re nowhere near legal marriage. That being said, the men are committed to each other. Their time apart has shown them that they are happier together. Are meant to be together.

    But this is a C.F. White book so it can’t be all hearts and roses. And it isn’t because the men have barely resumed their new activities – Seb playing in the band and Jay back on the pitch – when Jay is taken out by a horrific injury. I mean, like, ouch. Devastating to say the least. Seb is there at every moment but a distance between them grows as Jay is running out of patience and pushing Seb away. It all comes to a head and it’s only with the intervention of their friends that both men finally pull their heads out of their asses.

    But then if they’d communicated in the first place, the book probably wouldn’t have been as good. Had to add a little angst. And speaking of their friends – a few surprises in store that I did not see coming. All good, I promise.

    In the end, I got my happy ending. Something I demand these days. I even got a special epilogue that made my heart sing. This is a great series and I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up any other C.F. White book. And I can’t finish without mentioning Piers Ryman. I have a thing for British accents and although I’m not so good at spotting upper class versus working class, Ryman had a distinctive voice for each character and it worked. The whole book just worked. So glad I listened.

    we are back for a third time things are hard still

    Overall 5 out of 5 stars
    Performance 4 out of 5 stars
    Story 5 out of 5 stars

    Did I get what I wanted? That would be the questions as I listened to each chapter unfurl and envision each scene as they played out. Would I say that I wanted more or expected more? That would be a soft maybe. The direction was more or less predictable but the layering of the events was a nice change. There was and is something about MM romances that make me almost stupidly walk-in to love and feel that it is so much the reality that I read in my romance stories or see on the big or little screen. I do know that they are the escape that I have come to realize is the world around us. District Line has been a series that took me away from the world and what we have going on in it today. I am hooked on these two and their fight to have that ever lasting, ever after, forever.

    I loved Jay and Seb. I loved that Piers did a fantastic job. He carried his weight of giving me that something extra the narrator voice can and should add to the story. He was consistent throughout this read and the entire series.

    Easy-to-read Entertaining Page-turner Realistic Wonderful characters

    Reviewed in Germany on April 4, 2020
    It's was so so good that I'm sad that is over. The characters are so well shaped and real, with all their flaws and fears and beauty. I could really SEE them and I fall in love with them. I'm glad that the writer didn't make it all about the sex ( most of the others books in the genre do) instead has concentrated on the story...and what a story it was! Don't get me wrong the book is sexi as hell even if there aren't sex scenes on every page. Well I do have just a tiny observation about the sex scenes, I wish there was more explosion, feeling or depth in them but no biggie in my had there was...I could read between the lines 😉. Anyway it was a beautiful story and I can only recommend this. I'm glad that there is someone out there who can write good literature about gay love.

    I love this trilogy so much- I love the characters, the setting and the storylines! I first read these books on Wattpad years ago and recently bought the paperback versions and love the updated stories.
    100% would recommend - They are written so beautifully - They’ll always hold a special place in my heart. Also would definitely recommend listening to greenday whilst reading!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Can it 'Come Back'? In Another Installment Please?
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 18, 2018
    I love the characters in this book. Seb & Jay are brilliant MCs, vibrant, passionate, thought-provoking and multi-faceted who, as a reader I have rooted for since book 1 (and that cliff-hanger ending!!). So maybe why for me, this concluding book to the series was a four star read and not a five star one. Perhaps it's because I wanted (& still want) more?

    Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed the final installment of the District Line trilogy, but... There's a niggle there. A niggle that has remained despite finishing reading it over a week ago. Undeniably well-written, with great chemistry between the MCs, there were a few moments reading this book that left me questioning where the author was going (despite knowing there'd be an HEA). Some moments were predictable (Riley/A&R man/Anne), but others were a tad frustrating - why didn't Jay get the mental health support he needed? There were also a few loose ends I'd have like tidied up, but I'll contact the author over that, see if she'll give us a more satisfying ending a few years down the line in a little extra!

    Highly recommend the reading of the entire trilogy and this author is certainly a no-brainer (see her other trilogy Responsible Adult) as she can write, but for me, I'd have liked a slightly better ending. I live in hope that we'll get another fix of Seb & Jay at some point though!
