When He Returns

A Coming-of-Age Western Romance

De: Amelia Smarts

Narrado por: Matthew Keyes

Proud and independent, 13-year-old orphan Wade Hunter doesn't want a family. But when the town marshal catches him stealing, Wade's given only two choices: Spend time in jail or become the marshal's ward.

Sadie Shaw, the marshal's eldest daughter, doesn't want another sibling. She has enough brothers and sisters, and she's dismayed when her kindhearted pa brings home another lost child. It doesn't help that this one is surly and arrogant. Worse, he thinks that because he's older, he's under no obligation to mind her household rules.

Wade and Sadie battle wills often as they grow into adulthood, burgeoning both their dislike for each other and their grudging respect. When faced with a problem that requires their unity, will they be able to set aside their differences, or will the strife they face only tear them apart for good?

Warning: When He Returns contains adult punishment spanking. If that doesn't appeal to you, please don't buy this book.

Love it!

When He Returns is a great historical romance. The author does a good job describing each character so that it allows you to know their individual personalities. The fact that the story takes place over many years allows you to see how each character grows and matures. I loved Wade from the beginning. First, as a young boy that has been alone in the world, scared to get close to anyone and just trying to survive. Then, when he returns as a man who has grown into a strong alpha male that will support and protect his family. Liking Sadie took a little more work due to some of her actions as a teenager. It was interesting to see how all it all came together in the end.
Matthew Keyes does a fantastic job with the narration, bringing individuality to each character.

So sweet

It is a tender and sweet story. I really loved it. I just wished there was more intimacy. There were several times it would have enhanced the already beautiful story. Matthew’s narration was believable and spot on.

When he returns

I had a really hard time getting into this book. Strange because I really like Amelia Smarts writing style. I will listen again and, at that time, update this review.
