For 18-year-old orphan Callie Broderick, going west as a mail-order bride seems to be the only hope she has for a decent husband. But when she sets out for the gold-mining town of Sacramento with nothing more than the clothes on her back and a stagecoach ticket, she quickly discovers that the trip will be quite a bit different than she expected.

Story
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?

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.

I thought no alpha could tame me. I was wrong. Many men have tried to master me, but never one like Aric. He is not just an alpha, he is a fearsome beast, and he means to take for himself what warriors and kings could not conquer. I thought I could fight him, but his mere presence forced overwhelming, unimaginable need upon me, and now it is too late. I'm about to go into heat, and what comes next will be truly shameful.

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.

It depicts a powerful, but disturbing, picture of poverty, racism, and juvenile cruelty. On the other hand, it showcases the strength of will to overcome those conditions through perseverance.

Maximo Giovanni Santaro is a king. A real king, like in the old days. The kind I didn’t know still existed. The kind who commands obedience and punishes any hint of defiance from his subjects. His Majesty doesn’t take no for an answer, and refusing his royal command has earned me not just a spanking that will leave me sobbing, but a lesson so utterly shameful, that it will serve as an example for anyone else who might dare to disobey him.

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.

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

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.

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.

Excellent!
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.
