Publisher's summary
Arabella Marchmont was destroyed when she found out that Jacob died in the war. It was her fault he was there in the first place. She just couldn’t take him seriously when he proposed, and before she could rectify her mistake he was already gone. The agonizing wait for him to return began, but tragedy struck leaving Arabella to only wonder what could have been.
Jacob was gone from this world, and life had to move on.
A long time later, when the Earl of Winchester proposes, everyone understood that it was time, finally even Arabella. A simple life, free of heartache, might be just all that she could hope for.
But just as she starts to set her mind to the marriage, a familiar face limps back to Grosvenor Square. Shockingly, her Jacob has returned, but is he even the same Jacob that left all that time ago?
Could he ever even be the same Jacob that proposed to her? And even if he could be, was he already too late?
The Long Return is the second book in the series, The Returned Lords of Grosvenor Square. Welcome to the exciting world of Regency London!

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Weak hero and painfully ridiculous drama.
If Jacob had just opened his mouth and talked to his father…the Duke, and informed his friend about the threats that were made, there wouldn’t have been a story.
I was also very disappointed that there was never any explanation or resolution between mother and daughter.
I rarely complain in a review, but I truly found this a frustrating listen. I wanted the conversations to wrap up and the ‘hero’ to grow a spine.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
