Review: Return to Me is book eight in Jill Sanders' Pride Series. As I haven't read any of the previous books, I can vouch that Return to Me can perfectly work as a stand alone. I do, however, intend to go back and read the rest of the series in the right order.

While browsing for a quick summery read, the synopsis of Return to Me caught my attention and I can say that I was not disappointed. The romance is sweet, even if a bit fairytale-ish in places. Becca also sounds somewhat silly, but then she's just twenty two and never really left her home town, so there's a plausible excuse.

There are one or two holes in the plot, and I found the ending a bit too rushed, but for such a short romance novel I think Return to Me works really well as a beach or poolside companion.

Happy readings,
