She encounters a web of secret government agencies that are pursuing a high-powered drug cartel in South America. This headstrong woman is determined to find the underlying reason why her ex betrayed her then eighteen months later suddenly re-enters her life. In order to learn the truth, she must take on a very evil drug dealer and his army of assassins.

Full of twists and turns and a great plot, When the Past Came Back drew me in immediately and hooked me into the story. You never stop wanting to know what is going to happen next, nor do you have long to wait!

The story is fast paced and the characters believable. Despite having a scene or two that was a bit predictable, the story line carries you through and throws you for a loop now and again to make up for those few bits of predictability. Dani Ward sticks to her guns and keeps her promises without being whiny or overbearing while Cody Davis maintains the alpha-male role without becoming domineering or arrogant.

A completely refreshing mix of characters and a wonderfully surprising story. Do yourself a favor, and pick up a copy!
