In the romantic tradition of Dear John, an injured Navy doctor meets two extremely important women whose secrets will change the course of his life in this #1 New York Times bestseller.

Trevor Benson never intended to move back to New Bern, North Carolina. But when a mortar blast outside the hospital where he worked sent him home from Afghanistan with devastating injuries, the dilapidated cabin he'd inherited from his grandfather seemed as good a place to regroup as any.

Tending to his grandfather's beloved beehives, Trevor isn't prepared to fall in love with a local . . . yet, from their very first encounter, Trevor feels a connection with deputy sheriff Natalie Masterson that he can't ignore. But even as she seems to reciprocate his feelings, she remains frustratingly distant, making Trevor wonder what she's hiding.

Further complicating his stay in New Bern is the presence of a sullen teenage girl, Callie, who lives in the trailer park down the road. Trevor hopes Callie can shed light on the mysterious circumstances of his grandfather's death, but she offers few clues—until a crisis triggers a race to uncover the true nature of Callie's past, one more intertwined with the elderly man's passing than Trevor could ever have imagined.

In his quest to unravel Natalie and Callie's secrets, Trevor will learn the true meaning of love and forgiveness . . . and that in life, to move forward, we must often return to the place where it all began.

Take the time to read and enjoy. The character development second to none as always. All things have a way to work themselves out. Keeping faith in this will make one not put the book down.

The Return. Splendid word imagery. Fascinating to read and learn about bees, as well as tender love.

Laurenprior7

Beautiful story. Sparks never fails to write a beautiful love story. Great read, loved the characters!

Very Happy Apple Customer

Meaningful Read. Character development, romance, and educational, true to the Nicholas Sparks style. Learned a lot about PTSD and bees. His love of the south and it’s natural beauty blossoms again. Loved the ending, BTW.

Betty Ann #7

Very enjoyable. Sparks is a wonderful storyteller, this book is the definition when people say I couldn’t put this book down.

Great book!. It was a wonderful story with unexpected twists! Loved the ending!

Hallmark movie in print. Sappy, predictable, and boring. If you like Hallmark movies, this book is for you.

Keri9696

Loved it!. Typical Nicholas Sparks book. A suspenseful romance with added mystery that keeps you turning the page! Great book! Recommend to any Nicholas Spark or romance reader

Not His Best Work. It was a struggle getting through this one. Not my favorite.

Erk31

Too much detail and drags. The PSTD recovery would have been a more interesting plot than where this story went. It was a chore to finish reading.

The return. Great book a little slow in the beginning but got much better

Great Book. It’s a good read

Amazing. Such a beautiful story

Rostsbf

Great read. I could not stop reading. It was not your traditional love story. I loved the characters. There was a perfect ending.

WyosuperT

Another wonderful Nicholas Sparks novel. It’s been too long waiting for another one from my favorite author, but it was worth the wait!!

Segdowik

Great read for busy people!. This is a great book to read if you’re busy with life and need to “unplug” before bed. It’s an easy read, but the story is still captivating with a few unexpected twists. Plus the chapters are a nice length to read in under 30 minutes. I’m not a fan of books that don’t get me hooked quickly, and this one definitely did!

Jlcatron

The Return. This book really makes you stop and think about what’s Really important in life. I loved the strength of the characters so much. It was quite an emotional read and I loved the happy ending!

Flgirl1960

The Return. As usual it was awesome! Nicholas Sparks never disappoints.

SCozette

Excellent read!. Storyline was well thought out and characters seemed real! Nice romance with some therapy ideas to dwell on!

the return. beautifully written.

Lovethewazeapp1999

Typical Sparks. Typical Sparks. Predictable, unbelievable.

Gladys CPA

The Return. I love the way there’s a story and a love story!

Pearsonna

Worst Book by Nicholas Sparks by far!. I can’t even begin with how disappointed I’ve become with Nicholas Sparks. His books are getting more and more boring. I can’t believe I wasted money on a book that has barely any story line at all. 400 pages in and I’m still bored out of my mind. I wanted to commit to it but I quit. Waste of time

The Return. It started out slow , wasn’t sure if I was going to like it then it get you.What a good book ,wanting more. Gloria S

Good book. Good read. It was a little slow at times, but overall I really enjoyed it.

Good book. Like

Ambernanner

Extremely boring and not a believable love story.. This was a rough one to get through. I gave it two stars because the ending wrapped up nicely but I truly did not enjoy this book. Which is out of the ordinary for me with Nicholas Sparks. I almost DNF in the middle. The two main character’s love story was not believable in any way. They fell for each other very quickly - after one or two meetings. Then how much the main character, Trevor, fell apart after they split was over the top. Who does that after knowing someone for such a short time?? Callie’s story was more interesting than Trevor’s. A bit shocking to me, didn’t see it coming, but definitely a better storyline.

CindyfromMD

Loved it!. I thoroughly loved this book and it was everything that I had hoped it would be. Thank you for a good read.

Itsmsnotmrs

The Return!. I enjoyed this book, it was just what the doctor ordered after reading a compelling biography documenting the 45th president in his final year in office. This book was a bit sophomoric and I always knew what was going to happen on the next page but it diverted my attention long enough. Thanks for that, Nicholas Sparks.

Wilkes_cameron

Amazing!!!!. It’s definitely a Nicholas Sparks book, I haven’t picked up a book in over 4 years and I downloaded this and read it and I could not put it down! I wish there was more or maybe even a movie on it. 10/10 recommend.

Sth yoga girl

Much like his other books. I enjoyed the book, but it was easy to predict what would happen in the story.

Kayla31694

Not my favorite. It was good, but I thought it moved slow and didn’t “hook” me like his other books do.

Becjam135

The Return. A wonderful read. I am never disappointed with any of Nicholas Sparks books. I am always a little sad when I complete his latest book knowing I will be anticipating the next one.

Babbywoo

Good book. I enjoyed

Ziacruiser

Hard to get into. I kept reading this book as I’ve always been a fan of the author. It was, however, tough going and not really worth it in the end. This was certainly nowhere near the level of his previous works.

Melflorez

A fine read but I wish I wouldn’t have purchased. I’ve read just about every Nicholas Sparks novel over the years, and it bums me to say that I feel the quality of them is declining with each one. This story was short and sweet, but didn’t really need to be written.

Old turnpike

Great Read. This is a wonderful human interest story coupled with a romance that isn’t trashy as so many are. Sparks has left the ending to the reader’s imagination.

Momomo17777

Love it. I love this book. The flow is Smooth and Trevor’s character is attractive. I like Natalie’s personality, how mysterious she is. Better yet, I like Callie.

Dudeitsnotrandy882626

Great. Finished the book up today and was not disappointed. Great read.

SeeMeKC

Still waiting.... Would have loved to have seen them married, kids, but I assume it happened.

Beverlyw1971

A Wonderful Escape. At a time when we need to be reminded of giving of ourselves to others, simple human kindnesses, and true love, this book hit the spot.

BLouiseBrooks

Loved it. Great read with a happy ending. Highly recommend

Little chiro

So boring, great book to put you to sleep. I had high hopes for a Nicholas Sparks book, but this was as dull, slow, and uninteresting as any book I’d every read. I thought he was a romance guru, but this one lacks any momentum and excitement. The plot is very slow to work out, it takes forever for anything to build. Don’t waste your time, seriously.

Mbcarst

Just ok. Maybe I had too high of expectations for this book. It was an interesting story but not gripping edge of your seat kind of book.

Great Read. I absolutely love Nicholas Sparks. His books are romantic but also have another meaning to them. This is a great read, and the way he built the characters was great. He did a wonderful job at walking you through the characters lives and all the things they need to work on and grow to learn. Wonderful story about love and forgiveness. Definitely recommend

Canadian lover of Romance

The Return. This was a very deep read. It’s about a man who has issues to deal with while coping with the passing of his grandfather. While living in his grandfather’s house he meets two people who forever change his life.

So exciteddddd. Nicholas Sparks style predictable love but still was great!

Albatross3330

Predictable but enjoyable. I’ve read all of his books. They are all pretty similar and predictable but I’ve enjoyed all of them.

Lakewaco

Love and a Mystery. A lovely story about love, loneliness, with a little mystery thrown in to make it exciting. I didn’t read the first two books, but I sure am glad to have read the third. Stick around to the end, it’s also a mystery.

Yotaylor

Great book.. Omg started this book on the release date and finished it within two days! The storyline just draws you in where you can’t put it down. Another great book by Nicholas sparks.

Baldacci Fan for Life

Easy Sunday read. This book was a decent read. I liked his other books better. This one felt like a movie script.

MiLi923

Great book. Love it

Love2readgoodbooks

Not worth the wait. I have been waiting for Nicholas Sparks new book “ The Return” to come out, what a major disappointment! I forced myself to finish it.

Jamswa

Ok. Not my favorite Sparks book! A little disappointed!

Lawarner68

The Return. Not close to my favorite read. Too much for too little.

OKWXGirl

Amazing Story!. I loved this book! So many twists and turns! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! I couldn’t put it down!

Tymechie H

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sharipeterson

Great Book. I love how this book took me to each person’s situation. I could empathize and see a little of me in all the characters. I spent some time contemplating how I’d react in these situations. The book describes my PTSD symptoms. I know that it is a fictional character but it felt good to know someone felt the same way I do. This book is a reread and that’s the highest praise I think a book can get!

Brushville Nation

Meh. Predictable and superficial...it felt like three underdeveloped stories squished into one book.

Koolaid_KF

Kool. Just started it, its okay in the beginning.

Lady Di in Kentucky

Excellent. Another winner. Spell binding from start to finish.

Bedyam

Not up to par. This was not anywhere near what I expect from Nicholas Sparks! Not anywhere near the same level as The Notebook or Every Breath, if I didn’t know, I wouldn’t think it was the same author. Very disappointing, if you’re only going to write one book a year, make it a good one. Not enough romance, a strange story line and Sparks seemed to lose his way as he tried to weave the mystery and wasn’t able to pull me in like he has in the past. Sad

NYT reader in SC

Homophobic and racist. Has everybody forgotten the horrible emails Nicholas Sparks wrote to keep LGBT and African Americans out of his school? Boycott.
