Austenesque Reviews
"Willoughby's Return" was appropriately romantic, emotional, and passionate. I commend Jane Odiwe for capturing the essence and excellence of "Sense and Sensibility" and continuing the story in a knowledgeable and sympathetic manner. It is obvious that Ms. Odiwe loves and cares greatly for her characters (even the difficult ones), and I feel that Jane Austen loved her characters the same way. I greatly enjoyed this sequel for "Sense and Sensibility" and look forward to more works from Jane Odiwe.

Austenprose
This is Odiwe's second Austen sequel, and like Lydia Bennet's Story she has chosen a character in Marianne Brandon that is ruled by impulse and emotion making for surprise and tension – all good elements to an engaging story that she delivers with confidence and aplomb. Developing younger sister Margaret Dashwood brought youth, vivacity and a bit of rebellion against social dictums to the story. Her romance with Henry Lawrence was an excellent choice as she shared the narrative equally with Marianne and balanced the story. Odiwe's research and passion for the Regency era shine, especially in her descriptions of the country fair and fashions. It is rewarding to see her develop her own style evocative of Austen but totally modern in its sensibility. 

A Bibliophile's Bookshelf
Jane Odiwe writes with such eloquence and style that you can't be helped for thinking that you are reading a Jane Austen book... In characters, plot and style, Willoughby's Return is so beautifully written, that there is barely a seam between Sense and Sensibilty and Willoughby's Return.

Jane Austen Today
Like Jane Austen, Jane Odiwe is spare in her descriptions of the characters, but unlike Jane A., she is free with her depiction of an age long gone, of market days and vegetable stalls and flowers in a meadow. An artist as well as a writer, Jane O.'s details of scenery and village life are vivid...Jane O's plot has its twists and turns, the suspense coming from the characters' actions, which comes to a satisfying conclusion only after several misunderstandings are cleared up...Readers who love Jane Austen sequels will find this charming book a more than satisfying read. I give it three out of three Regency fans.

Odiwe's portrayal of all of the characters was perfect...I think this may be put on my favorite Jane Austen sequels list...Willoughby's Return is definitely worth a read if you love Jane Austen sequels but are looking for something new. Grade:A+

'Odiwe emulates Austen's famous wit, and manages to give Lydia a happily-ever-after ending worthy of any Regency romance heroine' - Booklist

'Lydia lives! Elizabeth Bennet's naughty little sister takes centre stage in a breathtaking Regency romp all of her own, told with authoritative period elegance by Jane Odiwe's eleoquent pen.'
Diana Birchall - author of Mrs Darcy's Dilemma and Mrs Elton in America

The flirtatious Lydia Bennet, the youngest sister in Pride and Prejudice, is the heroine of this delightful Jane Austen sequel....The narrative is interspersed with Lydia's diary entries, which are hilarious.
