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?

My Review
" Eh…I'd apologize, sweetheart, but you're beautiful."
This is the first time reading Amy's work. I was not disappointed at all, in fact I have a feeling i'll be reading more of Amy's work! She has a way of drawing you in and not letting you go. I couldn't put it down once I started it. It's the kind where you bring the Kindle everywhere you go because you want to find out what will happen next.
Mike's Way Back is the story of Mike and Taryn. Mike comes back to his hometown and becomes a cop. He's got some demons he's trying to get over. Taryn and Mike meet in the bar one night. From there you can tell there is an attraction, however with Taryn only being in town on business and not looking for a guy let alone a cop what's the point right??? From the very first time they meet I swear you'll be rooting for them to get together. They are seriously adorable and should get together.
" You've successfully ruined any other woman on the planet. It has to be you."
Taryn grew up with a cop as a father, and made a promise to herself she'd never fall for a cop. So when she meets Mike she tries to put on a tough exterior, but he gets under her skin. I mean hell if I was her i'd let him get under my skin. Haha.
Mike is the perfect book boyfriend, so if you've been in search for a new one…he's your guy.
Amy did an amazing job at writing this. I swear I don't hate ANY of the characters. I have fallen in love with all of them. Mike's brother and sister-in-law are amazing! Hell even Taryn's co-worker and gay best friend and his partner are amazing! Just love this book to pieces.
" You just figured that out? Now damn it, tell me what you said before I rip you through this phone line just so I can have the satisfaction of knocking your ass into next week."
I highly recommend you read this book!!!!
I rate Mike's Way Back 5 stars.
" I thought most women described paradise as an upscale spa or an exotic beach. Or maybe the inside of Neiman Marcus?"
" If you stand there and have an orgasm over an old building, I am seriously going to have Mike haul you to the loony bin where you can see 'fashion' up close and personal."
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!
