What a hot steamy read! The sexual tension was there from the start! Lol

All I could picture is Seth as Chris Hemsworth. I mean cmon he'd be perfect if we're talking movie status lol. But one thing I was super happy about was that Josie wasn't this skinny little thing. She is tall and curvy and not super model pretty. She's regular! Thanks for that JLA.

I haven't read the covenant series (wish I had) but I also did have a hard time understand the background of this series.

Overall I really loved this, this is my first JLA NA romance that I've read and all I wanna do is dive into the next book!

It was a fun and quick read. I always enjoy the banter between her characters

I can't believe this was sitting on my shelf for over a year! I absolutely loved it and can't wait to get to the next book

very good

I am surprised how much I really enjoyed this book. Such an easy read. I completed if in just a day. It flowed so easily. I actually enjoyed it more than any of the books in the covenant series. The character Seth always entertained me from that series. I am glad that they did a spin-off series for him. I am looking forward to reading the remaining books in the series and see how the story develops. Also when they will bring back other characters from the last series. I give this book a 4.5/5

A book about Seth? That just had me swooning at the thought. When I finished Sentinel I was curious about what was going to happen with Seth, he did after all sacrifice everything so Alex could have her happy ending. (I think that was the point I really fell in love with him to be honest. The Return just solidified it.)

Did I think that Seth has regrets about what he had done when he had sided with Ares? Of course I did. But reading what he thought about himself broke my heart wide open into a million pieces. Especially how he kept telling himself that it wasn't alright to want someone who was so pure and innocent as Josie. I loved getting to read from Seth's point of view because everyone who has read the Covenant Series has wondered what went through that man's mind, myself included (Though I was a huge Adien fan!)

The book is written in a duo point of view though. We have Seth and then we have a new character that we have not met yet, Josie. Josie is a twenty year old college student who is majoring in Psychology. That is until is life gets turned upside down. Seth is assigned by Apollo to protect Josie. The Titan's are out and Josie has is in danger. Why? Lets just say Josie isn't mortal, and is completely unaware of this, until Seth rips the metaphorical band-aid off. Yes, Apollo plays a role and this book and he is one of my favorite character from Covenant so that makes me very happy.

I really liked Josie a lot. She was strong and stubborn, didn't let Seth boss her around. Sounds like someone else we read about, huh? I felt bad for her though, she was thrown into a world that she didn't know about but still made the best of it. She trained, she fought, and most importantly, she was able to see the real Seth.

Josie and Seth scenes? H-O-T. We all knew Seth has always been inappropriate or borderline but in this book? Damn. I think Seth gets the award of Sex God. He showed real restraint though, especially as it has seemed that the word "restraint" was never in his vocabulary to begin with.

We learn things about Seth in this book that we didn't know already, for example, his age, last name, we also learn about his childhood and what happened when he had sided with Ares. It was some real heart breaking stuff though.

I was thrilled the see the return of a few characters from the Covenant Series. It made me really happy to see them involved and see Seth's trust in them. Deacon and Luke are in several chapters!!

I can ramble on about this book all day. Especially Seth. It was amazing about how much he has changed and grew since the Covenant Series. I am excited to see were the story is going to go. Especially with Josie now. I was really content with the ending, it will keep me patient enough until the next book. (Hopefully.) I would also give this book more then five stars if possible!

My Rating: 2.5/5 stars

While not as good as its counter part, the Covenant series, The Return was ok for a first installment in a new spin-off series. I thought it could've been better and I hated how many similarities there were to the original series, more specifically when it came to the romantic stuff. It was like Seth was starting to act like Aiden did when he was falling for Alex except with Josie. It got kind of annoying because I wanted them to have their own little special things instead of reusing stuff that Aiden and Alex did. And so, because they did it just seemed like the book was written like how it would've been if Seth and Alex had been a real item.The book ending was kind of lame. Sweet, but kind of lame. I'd thought it would end at a certain part but it kept going, hastening an ending that could've gone into the next book.

Ok, now that I got all my complaining out of the way.... let me just say that all the Seth POV parts were MUCH appreciated. A side of Seth that's never been seen before was shown in this novel and it was strange, but not bad. While I'm more of an Aiden fan than a Seth fan, I found that it was nice to know more about Seth's background and (finally) what his last name is. Seth in himself was more than enough to make up for the copied Alex and Aiden moments as well as the choppiness of the ending. But, sadly it wasn't enough to give this first book in the Titan series a 4 star rating. I usually love everything I read by Jennifer L. Armentrout, but The Return fell short for me. Hopefully, the sequel will be a better follow-up than its predecessor.

If you liked the covenant then you will fall head over heels in love with this book. Absolutely awesome
