Publisher's summary
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.

Widowed rancher Heath Wolfe worries he's making a big mistake by bringing Willow McAllister home to his ranch. A known troublemaker around town, she can't seem to keep a job or avoid skirmishes with the law, so the town marshal implores Heath to help. While Heath agrees to employ Willow, he certainly won't allow misbehavior, and he's even prepared to take the willful young lady over his knee for a sound spanking if warranted.

Story
Jackson Kane has always had a special place in his heart for Lydia Morgan. After her father's death leaves her alone in the world, Jackson provides her with room and board in return for help around his ranch. But his generosity is met with one act of petulant rebellion after another, until she finally pushes him too far and he decides it is long past time to take her over his knee. As embarrassing as it is to be spanked with her panties down like a naughty little girl, it is when Jackson makes her call him daddy that Lydia's cheeks truly blush crimson.

When the two meet, Adam's commanding presence makes a startling but good impression on Susannah. The attraction between them is undeniable, but that is soon followed by wariness. Susannah had planned to marry a man who would do her bidding, not take over everything. It's her ranch, after all! Equally befuddled, Adam thought he'd be marrying a woman who knows her place, not a temperamental brat who could benefit from some time over his knee. Will Susannah learn to accept Adam's firm leadership and expectations?

When Bunny Whitman humiliates herself in an interview, in front of stern, intimidating, billionaire Takis Karas, she thinks she's blown it. But when Takis calls her a few days later, he makes her an offer she can't refuse. In return, she'll get a million dollars. The only catch? If she slips up, the consequences will be dire. And spanking is just the start. It's surprise after surprise for Bunny - but the biggest shock is just how much she loves to be cared for and coddled, and just how hot she finds the demanding discipline her new Daddy doles out, even when it leaves her shaking.

He's a big, angry former Marine, and I'm going to be sore when he's done with me. Hawk Travers is not a man to be trifled with. I learned that lesson in the hardest way possible, first with a painful, humiliating public spanking and then much more shamefully in private. She came looking for trouble. She got a taste of my belt instead. Bryce Myers pushed me too far and she ended up with her bottom welted. But as satisfying as it is to hear this feisty little reporter scream my name as I put her in her place, I get the feeling she isn't going to stop snooping.

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.

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.

GREAT READ!
I loved it! The narration was excellent and kept me entertained. This author does an excellent job with the characters and plot. I read the first book in this series (Bringing Trouble Home) and enjoyed that as well. I look forward to reading more books from this author!

Sweet coming of age story
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book was OK but after listening to several of This authors other books I just feel like this was lacking something I’m not sure what but I just felt like it was anti-climactic in several ways. The narrator is amazing and I think that his voice perfectly fits the stories.

Wonderful Romance!
Amelia Smarts book, When He Returns was just what I needed! I love historical western romance, and this one delivers it and so much more! Wade is a 14 year old boy, caught in some trouble. When the marshal brings him home to add him to his family, Wade is belligerent and will do anything to not fit in. Until he does. He becomes a productive family member, loved by all except the marshal's daughter Sadie. Sadie is the his oldest and upon his wife's death took over the household. And now, he keeps bringing home more children to take care of! She resents Wade and just when he thought things were getting better, a bitter betrayal occurs. Unable to ever hear the truth, tragedy strikes the house, and Wade leaves in his grief. Now 5 years later, he comes back to find his family in slight disarray and his feelings for Sadie much different. But does she return his affection? This story told in two separate periods, each with a different POV gives us that old time western feel. With the marshal, the old home, the loving home, I get that wonderfully warm Laura Ingalls Wilder feel, with a twist! Smarts weaves in that alpha male, and while the story is sweet, it does have those scenes that make you fired up and then melt. She includes not only wonderful main characters, but a supporting cast that you will fall in love with. From Clyde as the understanding father to Grace the lovable little girl, it's hard not to feel like part of the family.
Narration by Matthew Keyes is perfect. He hones in on each character with a voice for each that brings out their personality. I love that he can go from a young child to an adult, from male to female with ease. I loved his performance and this is a story you will not want to miss.

Great Story
I was pleasantly surprised at how deeply I was sucked into this book. When He Returns transported me back in time and thanks to a talented writer I could clearly visualize everything. If your worried this book isn't your style due to the mention of paddling, don't be. It goes with the time this story takes place and was done very tastefully. The narration was done well. Every character had a very distinct voice. I recieved this book at my request because I thought it looked interesting and I wasn't wrong. I highly reccomend it
