About this listen

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.

This was my first historical western romance, and I absolutely loved it. It's beautifully written, well-plotted with captivating characters. Amelia Smarts's delivery is excellent, the story is told in the span of two-time frames. It began with Wade and Sadie's teen years, the in-between drama and betrayal. The second part is the discovery of unanticipated feelings and romance. Despite the length of the audiobook, the pace is perfect and not rushed.

The narration by Matthew Keyes is outstanding. His ability to produce a broad range of tones is fantastic. Despite the various characters, I could easily tell each one apart. When He Returns is an enjoyable coming-of-age romance, encompassing the importance of family and home. I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this audiobook.
