Synopsis:
Detective Mike Sterling walked away from his dream job telling himself it was to honor the promise he’d made his mother, while lying in a Chicago emergency room. A year later, he’s still fighting the demons that followed him back to his boyhood town.
Taryn Watts is an award-winning designer, going from project to project, living from a suitcase. Her plan for Renlend Kansas was the same as always. Go in, get the job done and get out, just the way she likes it. Growing up as a cop’s daughter, her every move was controlled. When she escaped to college she vowed to never fall in love with a cop –ever. Until she found herself sitting across from the ruggedly handsome stranger. Looking into Mike’s ice blue eyes they pulled her, called to her, but there was a haunting in them she knew too well.
Mike is drawn to Taryn, her passion for her work and her stunning beauty left him breathless, but what surprises him most is the peace he feels when he’s near her. Maybe it’s because Taryn is a temporary addition to his town and his secret is safe, or maybe it’s because she makes him feel safe. Mike knows he can’t keep up this charade and when Taryn moves to Renlend for an extended stay he can’t hide the truth any longer.
Can Taryn forget he’s a cop and give him her heart, or will his demons drive them apart?

Mike’s Way Back is such
a great and wonderful book that it makes you reread it, right after you finish
it..You just want more of the characters!!
To be honest, it wasn’t
what I expected and I both liked and disliked that. No I’m not a crazy
whacko-let me explain..I enjoyed the fact that it was different than what I had
in mind, because I like being surprised. Mike’s Way Back was much more
emotional..It actually focused on the characters’ feelings much more than the
actual events. It’s the second book I read that has this approach and I’ve got
to say that I really like it. Anyway..We understand our characters and we take
every step of the way along with them..It really felt like a team-effort, sort
to speak. But what I expected was a confrontation with Taryn’s family, a sort
of closure between her and her family. Maybe not solve their problems, but at
least a conversation, something. So, in this way I didn’t get my closure I
needed as a reader. It may seem a small thing, but it felt pretty big to me.
Generally speaking,
Mike’s Way Back is a truly wonderful book with an innocent love story but
really hot scenes. The writing was beautiful and I loved the 2 POVs. They were
remarkably written. I enjoyed it very
much, mainly because it was so fun to read. It was smart and funny,
entertaining and sexy, playful and sweet, loving and hot and at the same time
very emotional.
>>Taryn is so
amazing! She’s sweet and loving, but she’s also ferocious and stubborn and
feisty. She’s the perfect combination for a woman. And of course, she’s also
the perfect leading female character. She’s a great one..I have nothing else to
say rather than I love her!
>>Mike is the very
definition of a very good guy. He makes the right decisions, he’s smart and
kind and oh so very thoughtful. He has a golden heart that makes him even
sexier than he already is..
A perfect leading man for a perfect leading woman!!

About the Author:
When asked ‘when do you have time to write’, Amy Gregory simply laughs. The real answer is, “in bits and pieces”. She and her husband live in Kansas City with their three fantastic kids that keep them running in three very different directions. Because she sits so much, she always carries a notebook with her at all times.
She has an off the wall, snarky, off the cuff sense of humor that often shocks even those who’ve known her for years. And she loves that her children have all been blessed that ability to make others laugh as well. At least she’s grateful most of the time! Her husband often teases her about how she “makes this stuff up” when he’s reading a piece of her work. … The answer—“it just comes to me when I’m typing”. Scary thought, huh!
