The love of a lifetime, lost but never forgotten… years ago. No, she’s even prettier. From across the crowded room, she steals his breath. Same silken, flame-colored hair. Same summer-blue eyes and almost the same smile, only now, there’s a hint of sadness.
But when he asks her to dance, she wastes no time giving him the brush off.
She’ll protect her heart, no matter the cost…
The years haven’t been kind to Iris. It all started when Declan broke up with her, leaving her heart shattered. After her car wreck, things went from bad to worse. Now, to top it all off, Declan strolls back into her life, acting like he’s got a right to be there. She can’t risk a second heartbreak. But some things never change, like the way his eyes remind her of his slow seduction, or his work-roughened hands that promise a gentle caress.
For a moment, the years melt away and Iris wonders if she and Declan might have a second chance. But time can’t heal all wounds, and for two broken people, the secrets of the past threaten to break them once again.
Returning for Love is the fourth novel in the Long Valley world, although all books in the Long Valley world can be read as standalones. It has some strong language, and oh my, sexy times. Enjoy!

This is the story of Declan and Iris and it starts at the wedding party of Wyatt and Abby (Arrested by Love). At that point Declan and Iris haven’t seen each other for fifteen years. He has a secret and almost let’s it ruin his renewed relationship with her. In turn, Iris isn’t completely honest with Declan.

I loved it! And I loved the epilogue!
For those of us who have taught young children with undiagnosed needs. I’m happy to say that they gave me the inspiration to discover ways to make learning fun. One year 13 different ways. They always challenged me to be a better teacher. For those of us who live with a stroke victim, same challenge.
Original Syory
I really liked this story, It wasn’t the normal boy meets girl tale. Iris, tje jheroine of this story has been hurt in an accident. Her old boyfriend comes back for a wedding, not knowing about the accident. The tells of the relationship they develop in spite of her handicap. I will read it again. It’s that GOOD
Declan Miller is the Best Man at his brother Wyatt’s wedding. Now that both of his brother’s are happy, in love, and their futures are set it’s Declan’s turn so say’s his sister-in-laws. They have been setting him up on blind dates, but they are wasting their time. Declan found his true love in High School, and walked away from her in college. Declan gives his Best Man speech, sits down, and he can’t believe she’s back in town. Iris, the one who holds Declan’s heart.
Iris McClan is back in town and attends the Miller wedding with her parents. She hides from Declan until she can’t anymore. She needs to see him. Right as Iris looks up Declan is looking at her, and once the Maid of Honor finishes her speech he comes directly to her.
Declan and Iris never stopped loving each other, but they both have issues they are dealing with. This second chance love story is beautifully written, and it will take you on an emotional roller coaster. It pulls you in, grabs at your heart, and has you pulling for Declan and Iris to find the ability to trust one another in order to get their happily ever after. I volunteered to review an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book but I also purchased a copy.
I just loved all the books in this series. Ms. Wright has such a gift with story telling. The characters and plot are so believable. From the first page you are hooked into the story. Declan and Iris have such a wonderful story, I could almost cry. I really hate to see the books end. It is like losing a good friend. At least the characters have made recurring appearances in other books, at least the Miller boys’ stories. I highly recommend this book and series to anyone.
A wonderful love story of 2 people who haven’t seen each other for 15 years and realizing the still love each other.
Returning for a second chance at Love

A great story which is pretty complicated but I loved Declan and Iris together, their ending was perfect

Good read. It highlights how our personal concepts of our faults can damage our relationships with others. Usually, unnecessarily.
