Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Nora Roberts returns with the classic tales of the MacKade brothers - their rebellions, their passions, and their loves.

Ten years after disappearing from Antietam, Maryland, the bad boy has come home. Cleaned up and successful now - though still dangerously good-looking - Rafe MacKade sets the town on fire…and tongues wagging. Not even lovely newcomer Regan Bishop is immune to his charms. Though Regan claims to not want to get involved with a rebel, Rafe's pretty sure that her reaction to their sizzling kisses suggests otherwise.

The Return of Rafe

I enjoyed listening to this story about a man who had to leave home to grow up. I loved the love story between Rafe and Megan. I can't wait to listen to the other books in this series.

Oh, Nora.

She did it once again. I can't get enough of her love stories and the Mackade brothers really hit home with their strong family bonds, brotherly love and mischief, and the everlasting love stories. Great read.

The Return of Race MacKade

The first in the series of stories about the MacKade Brothers. A love story of two people from different places in their lives finding each other.

It's an early Nota Roberts book.

It was enjoyable. There wasn't much depth to the story like you expect from her later work. It was a short quick read or should I say listen.

Remarkably Romanic

I love how Nora can take a strong male character that is ruff around the edges and mold him romantically while still allowing him to keep his manly charm. By the time the book was over I wanted Rafe! Enjoyable to say the least.

Narration Lacking

The story is predictable and might have been entertaining with a different narrator. Mr. Daniels read this love story like it was a western.

Daniels' voice too harsh

Luke Daniels' voice is a little too harsh in the reading of this book, and makes Rafe seem too arrogant.

This one is down on the list a way.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The varying of voices could have been better.
