In my twenties, I flew to Alaska determined to change the world. I returned home devastated, filled with fear and the kind of heartache it takes years to overcome.
Now, sixteen years later, as I hurl through the sky on the wings of heartbreak and despair, I’m desperately trying to hold myself together. Not just because of why I’m flying back, but because I know he’ll be wai ...more

Return by Air by Tracey Jerald is a full length, stand-alone romance that gave me all the feels. It's a heart-wrenchingly beautiful story that had me in tears more than one time.

5 Her Secret Is Finally Revealed Stars!!
One thing I’ve come to love about Ms. Jerald’s writing is all the feels she evokes with her stories. This first book in her new series is no different. From the very first page I was emotionally tied to the story. Kara’s life is upended by a surprise pregnancy and she has to alter her plans on the drop of a dime because the people who are supposed to love her unequivocally prove just how callous they are so Kara turns to the one person that she’s alway ...more

Wow! Just WOW! Tracey Jerald truly showcases her brilliance through her stories and her characters, and Kara and Jennings story is no different. Return By Air was an experience I will never forget. As I am sure I’ve mentioned in recent reviews I’ve did for this author, I am going to reiterate it again, she digs deep into an original story line and makes sure we get an in-depth view of the world she has created.

This book moved me in so many ways! If it hadn't been done once (and only once) before I would have thought that it was in ways I didn't think possible. This was definitely a top 10 read OF ALL TIME!
I have known Tracey for years now and never had the chance to read any of her work. I am kicking myself from here in PA to LA right now for not having made the time! There was something really profound about this book and I think that's why it moved me so much. I really love when an author can captiv ...more

"Return By Air by Tracey Jerold is the first book in her new Glacier Adventure series.This book took me through a mountain of emotions. Heartbreak and devastation give way to an amazing second chance love of a lifetime. Kara and Jennings met in Alaska and years later, meet there again. Only they hope the outcome will be much different the second time around.

Return By Air was a little sadder than I had anticipated - but it made me sad in all the good ways! A love story that spans 16 years, there was plenty of fodder to make me cry! Kara and Jennings' story is kind of an epic tale. Their summer love affair in Alaska when they are in their early 20's ends with Jennings pushing Kara away due to his fear of abandonment. Kara is left on her own to deal with the consequences of their affair - a pregnancy resulting in their son, Kevin. Though she tries for

I'll fly away with Jennings any day!
I absolutely adored this story and the gaggle of side characters that I HOPE HOPE HOPE get to shine in their own stories!
This book had me in all the feels, straight from the top! We follow Kara and Jennings...two lost souls that didn't know what they had been missing after they were torn apart and lived for years without each other and what could have been. When they reunite due to unforeseen circumstances, they learn so much about who the other is, has become ...more

Firstly do not start reading this later in the evening like I did or you will be up until 2.30am because you HAVE to finish it there is no putting it down!!! I went through a lot of emotions reading this book, there were times I flipped between hating then loving Jennings and Kara oh wow women has been through so much since she had last seen Jennings 16 years earlier including recently losing her brother Dean. Secrets are revealed after Kara and Kevin along with Maris meet up with the Lumberjack

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. This story is breathtaking and we readerers are just along for the ride. This is a second chance story for Kara Malone and John Jennings. They were once torn apart, but 16 years later a different kind of grief brings them together. John finds that he has a son, Kevin whose role is pivotal to bringing Kara and John back into each other's lives. The attraction is still there but all of the characters need to learn to trust again, in order to move forward

When I think back about the books that have affected me this is definitely one of them. The emotions are all over the place. I feel like my emotions have been right through the coals. Jennings and Kara have a unique story that you must read. This is not a easy one step romance with the happily ever after; it is a fought over romance story that pushes you through every single limit you can think of. The emotions are there; the angst is real. I’ve cried over this book for my own personal reasons.

The author did it again! Her books always take you on a emotional ride and this book is no exception. A excellent story about a young couple who had a great summer together. They go their separate ways, however their union created a son. Kara’s attempts to notify Jennings about his child does not work. Move forward 15 years and due to a tragic accident they are brought together again. This is a awesome story about how Jennings handles finding out he has a son he missed out of raising and ultimat

This author is always guaranteed to write a story that is poignant and can make me feel all the emotions. This was a great second chance. This author is gifted in how she takes pen to paper.
The reason it doesn't rank higher was I truly never accepted her reasons in not contacting Jennings after she finally knew where he was. Especially, as she is all about giving her son everything. It just didn't resonate. Regardless, if I just ignored that and instead just focused on the rebuilding of t ...more

Another absolutely stunning story by Tracey Jerald. This is a breathtakingly beautiful story about Kara and Jennings. My emotions ran wild with this one. I went through all the feels; sadness, heartbreak, regret, family drama, loyalty, love and lots of laughter. The love that they share is a beautiful thing. I was so engrossed in this story and shed so many tears. Keep tissues handy. Jennings is so swoon worthy. I adore this book.

Many thanks to the author and Foreward PR for an advance copy of this book. It should be no secret to any of you that I love Tracey and her work. She's an amazing author and all around wonderful person. Her latest series, Glacier Adventures, starts tomorrow with Kara and Jennings in Return by Air. I wasn't sure how to feel after leaving behind the Freeman family last year but as usual, I was worrying for nothing.

Return by Air is a beautiful love story based on a heart wrenching tragedy. This book had my emotions all over the place, from sad to happy. Jennings and Kara make a perfect couple but it took sixteen years to make that union a reality.
I enjoyed all the characters and the storyline was magical.
Tracey Jerald is a master at taking a symbol, such as the title of the book and spreading it throughout a story so you understand the meaning.
Bravo!!

Tracey Jerald has become one of favorite authors, and I am thrilled she has come out with a new series. Return by Air had everything I've come to expect from Tracey, romance, hot sex, and intense feels. Keeping tissues handy is highly encouraged.

Not only being one of my favourite author's she knows how to let you escape from reality and takes her storytelling to a whole new level. Bringing heart and soul into every romance.

Wow, author Tracey Jerald takes me on such an emotional ride with each book she writes. Return by Air is a second chance romance, one of my favorite genres, and so beautifully written with characters meant to love.
Kara, our female lead, is a character so close in heart to so many. A woman who gives up on her own dreams to do what needs to be done. She's a woman with boundaries, acceptance issues due to "family" circumstances, a woman who tends to others while burying her own feelings and need t ...more

So dang good. This book kept me anchored in place for much of my day when i had a moment to read. I practically read it til the battery went kaput on my kindle. Thats how unput downable this was for me.. from page 1 i was instantly sucked into Jennings and Kara's story and how their story began. Even tho evil genius over here almost made me cry the book was so beautiful. And i loved every freaking character she introduced to us in the beginning of what is a series i can't wait to read more about

Return by Air is an emotional second chance love story where two people were brought back in each other’s lives through the loss of loved ones. Jennings and Kara have been out of each other's lives for the past 16 years and there are secrets and promises that need to be revealed. Changes were definitely coming their way, but the way everyone came together was beautiful to read.
