Return To Us (Sand & Fog Series Book 6) Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 208 ratings

It’s not possible. Did I fall in love with the same guy twice and not know it?

Willow…

I’ve pretty much sworn off love and men. You would, too, if you had my lousy track record.

Before I started college, I fell in love with a sexy Brit. Only he forgot to tell me that he was a lying cheater and married. Got my heart broken good by him.

So imagine my surprise when a gorgeous street musician shows up in front of the bar I own and I’m serenaded ten hours a day by a voice that makes my pulse race.

The next thing I know, I’m falling in love with him…

Eric…

I looked up Willow to make amends to her, and I fell fast and hard for her like I did the first time I met her.

The deeper I go with her, the harder it is to explain who I am and why I’m here.

This isn’t what I planned. But I can’t shut it down. I don’t want to.

Then family tragedy causes me to leave her unexpectedly again.

But make no mistake.

This time I'm coming back…

Willow & Eric’s story is a two-book miniseries. The books must be read in order to understand the story:

Part 1: Gone Guy

Part 2: Return to Us

    I’m not sure I have the words to explain how much I loved this book. It had a different kind of angst and it was just right for where Willow and Eric are in their relationship. This is the perfect way to conclude many stories. I laughed, I cried, I swooned, I side-eyed, but most importantly I was contented. Never have I felt more at peace with the Parker/Manzone’s while still begging for the beautiful Khloe’s story. Gosh, nobody does it quite like Susan Ward. Her writing is flawless and stories wrap you up in a web you don’t want to escape. I’ve been all in since the first book and will seriously morn after the last. These characters become so real and rich you never want to let them go. Kudos Ms. Ward on another truly amazing book.
    I requested and received an arc copy of this book. I also purchased as I enjoyed it so much. This is my voluntary, true, and honest opinion.

    I love how Eric just keeps redeeming himself. Loved seeing this side of EJ. Loved to see glimpses of the Parker dynasty, even under sad circumstances. I cried a lot during this book. I felt like I was going through all the emotions alongside Willow and Eric. With Jack’s final words, I felt my soul cleanse alongside Eric’s. I’m so happy they both got their happy ending. Eric definitely deserved it. Willow’s rough around edges traits showed more, but can’t blame her. Her poor heart went through hell and back. She’s what hopeless romantics love to read about. Sure she didn’t want to take another chance, but she did and it paid off. I can’t wait to see where Khloe’s story takes this family to. I’m not ready for the family drama to end! I’ll be waiting patiently! Congrats Susan on another great book! One happy loyal reader here!

    I'm still enthralled with this family. I love every story, but alas even though I knew it would happen and soon, my favourite is gone now.
    Eric and Willow's story thankfully has worked out. I love the finding a purpose in life , living real. Being your best version of you that you can. So much wisdom from Jackson for his whole family.
    Eric making his first year clean, making amends with all who matter in his life. Thankful that Willow's love for him didn't fade for too long. Having this complex and wonderful family heal and support when needed.
    'Spoiler Allert'
    But the tears I had for Jackson Parkers passing, wow I could truly imagine the scenes you wrote. My imagination didn't fail me, my emotions burned. I have still a serious character crush for Jackson and I know he can't live forever and the timeline of these stories spans nearly 80 years from when we first met him and continuing. Still heartache for him.
    But I see why Eric and Willow took 2 books, a lot happened. Not looking forward to anything happening with Alan or Chrissie, this might break me.

    This story had an amazing conclusion. I loved how Eric's journey made him a better man and helped make his relationships with his family stronger. Eric wants to be the man Willow deserves. I think that gave him the push he needed to make a better life for himself and his daughter.

    Willow has went through a lot over the years but she must decide if Eric is worth the risk?

    This story did have one quirk that gutted me. I totally understand the reason behind it but o my the tears gushed. I was totally not expecting that twist. It does help guide a few character's to the next phase of there life and for the next book. Khloe's story is next in this incredible series. I am excited to see what it has in store for us.

    I was given this ARC as an honest read for an honest review. This is the final installment of the story of Eric and Willow. There love is epic!!
    These two complex characters have been through emotional ups and downs, secrets, lies, love, and most of all forgiveness. You root for Eric and Willow. The story takes you back to Seattle where it all started and ends with i can't give that away! Read now to see if these two can find each other again, choose forgiveness and move on together.

    What can I say other than this whole connected series is absolutely my Favorite of all time! I love this family as if they were mine. Eric's story truly captured my heart. I think he might be the favorite of the kids! If you haven't treated yourself to this series,you are doing yourself a true injustice! Love, completely raw and real, storylines that are believable, characters that steal your heart! It has EVERYTHING you could possibly want in a story! So well written and each book is a piece of their story! I can't wait for Khloe's story!

    Susan ward takes us on an amazing journey back to the world of Parker/Manzone! This book had all the feels! Eric is the rocker brother we had come to love to hate, but in this book you get to experience the redemption of Eric and the amazing man he is under all the layers. While I loved Eric and Willow together , Willow drove me crazy because she was so stubborn. Ultimately, I loved their love story back to them!

    I received an ARC from Susan Ward with the promise of an honest review.

    I have loved the whole Sand and Fog series. I have been really looking forward to Eric and Willow's story. It was a good story with a strong storyline; however, I thought it was would be more emotional with Willow forgiving Eric as well as Eric constant struggle with addiction. I was looking for a bigger explanation of why Eric chose not to return to Santa Barbara after rehab. I was expecting more drama from Tara, Eric's ex-wife as well as from Willow's ex-husband. I loved Eric and Willow's story but I feel there could have been more depth to emotions.

    I received an ARC from Susan - thank you.

    I have to be honest I didn’t fall in love with Eric in Gone Guy as I had with other leads. However that all changed with Return to Us.

    The sensitive topic of rehab was dealt with well. Tears fell when he talked to Alan on the cliff top and beach while reading the letter.

    Loved the book.
