While Berkeley is waiting at Gatwick airport for his transfer flight from Denver International airport to Tenerife, he convinces himself the dream he’d had on the plane was more than just a dream. Battling against rational thoughts and raw emotions, Berkeley follows his gut instincts in search of the Native American, Nantan. Curious and keen to understand more about Nantan’s life as a wolf, Berkeley gets a lot closer than he expected to finding out what it’s really like. Love conquers all as Berkeley escapes a close encounter with death that cements his future with Nantan.

Return to Loveland is the sequel to the short... The Road to Mount Evans. While I believe that this could be read as a standalone and out of sequence due to the author providing enough informational content as to bring a new reader up to speed, I recommend reading them in order as to not miss one drop of Berkeley's brand of deliciousness!

I enjoyed the differences in this book, and the previous one, as they both show a different side of Berkeley to the reader. As I have read this series and become enamored of this character, I have long thought that Berkeley was searching for his hearts secret longing... a soul mate. But instead of capturing his dream, it has slipped through his grasp, remained an enigmatic concept... seemingly out of reach. This story opens with Berkeley contemplating a brain niggle... you know that annoying, uneasy feeling that refuses to quiet? Is what he remembers real? Can he leave the possibility of a dream fulfilled behind? His choice pulls the reader close as he reverses course and heads back to the city of Loveland. With his emotions an unsettling combination of hope and uncertainty, his determination propels Berkeley forward as he attempts to follow his heart..... is he chasing smoke or the fulfillment of his dreams?

Another fantastic story for Berkeley as he embraces life. This has some brilliant scenes included and some surprises. Lol the dining table has a new usefulness since Nantan tested its strength lol. Omg the author scared me in a scene with Berkeley at the ending (grr don't do that). I wonder what the next part of Berkeley's life will have in stall as its getting real exciting especially after with what happened at the airport. I'm eager to see what happens next.
The continuing story after The road to Mt Evans book. Berkeley discovers there is a thing as a werewolf as he met Nantan but thinking its a dream. Waiting for his connecting fight home, at the last second he changes his mind to go back to Denver..dream or no dream he needed to find out if it was real. I could write more but i dont want to write spoilers for fellow readers of my thoughts. I picked up reading Berkeley's journey from book 4 of this series and loved every story. Berkeley is a lovable character.

So, did it happen? Or, didn’t it? That is the question, and that is where Berkeley’s new adventure begins in Return to Loveland! Did it actually happen or was it all a dream? Does he continue home, or does he fly back to Colorado in search of love? Of course it wasn’t a dream and the gorgeous Nantan is most certainly very real! I’m loving the twist in Berkeley’s latest adventure.

I think it is fair to say Berkeley definitely takes a walk on the wild side in Return to Loveland. Is this the romance Berkeley has been waiting so long for? I hope so, but of course, we know things never run smoothly for Berkeley, and this book is no exception!

Mr Collins has done it again—kept me hooked to the end and then desperate for the next instalment. Bring it on!
