Tara Wharton is back home again after 10 years of doing her best to stay away. Her sister, Faye, is unconscious in the ICU and her father is dead following an auto accident. Faye is deeply loved by Tara and viewed more as a mom than her own mother, looking after Tara from the time she was an infant. Now a corporate consultant, she is again in Wharton, Arizona where the town basically grew up around her family and their family electronics company.

After years of absence Tara must confront the love of her life from high school, Dylan Ryland. Once desperately in love their lives separated when Dylan chose to stay and help his father with his business instead of following Tara to college. All man now and possessing the same hot magnetism, Tara is still drawn to him. Suspecting foul play surrounding the accident, Tara and Dylan form a unity to search out the truth. The secrets uncovered by Tara have the ability to destroy both families and her already estranged relationship with her mother.

I truly found this story fascinating and filled with remorse, deep seeded love and the desperate need for a young woman to belong. There are many twists and turns to add spice and suspense to this read. BACK WHERE SHE BELONGS is an extremely hard book to put down. This is a tale truly exciting to the turn of that final page. Dawn Atkins has written a real winner full of compassion, sizzling sex, and romance.
