Despite the fact she’s a woman in a man’s world, Morgan Lane works hard at Goldsen Park. Wielding a chainsaw and felling trees, she tries to keep up with her bosses’ constantly contradicting orders. Staying busy in the woods keeps her from thinking about Wade Newland, the one man she’d loved who left her without an explanation. Yet the photojournalist can’t stay away. Wade crashes back into her … her life—literally—when he carries her tumbling over a ravine to save her from a stranger bearing a weapon in her park. Connected again, albeit out of danger, they attempt to figure out why someone would be toting a gun in the dark. As they sleuth their way through the tangles of bureaucracy and the many layers of deception within the Goldsen crew, they discover there is more to this incident than what meets the eye. The deeper they dig, they realize no one can be trusted, not even the law. Not only do they have to tiptoe around their still-burning feelings for each other, they need to come to a simple truce. Can they watch each other’s backs and find the answers in the darkest part of the forest?

Morgan works as an arborist in a smallish Michigan State Park. It’s her dream job. Being outside with trees and her badass chainsaw all day long.
On the private side, she’s not as happy. Her summer-fling-turned-more from last year left her without a word and she’s been mad at him ever since.
Enter Wade. He’s the just mentioned summer fling/love/idiot. And he’s back. For good – if she’ll have him.
But suddenly they’re being chased by people with guns. In Morgan’s beloved park!
What the heck is happening??? Who can we trust and what is what?????
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MORGAN & WADE???
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!
I really liked it!
The first page confused me a bit. I had to read it three times to understand what was what. And then I still didn’t realllly get it. But it got better.
You’re immediately right in that park with Morgan and Wade and it’s all so exciting and mysterious and dangerous and woodsy.
We also have those adorable and sexy couple moments. But it’s a bit more suspense than sexy romance. But I loved that.
Great Romantic Suspense!!! I really enjoyed reading it!
I’m not in love-love with the guy on the cover – my Wade was much prettier/hotter!
It Grabbed My attention and focus so strong I could not put it down. A word of advice when you get your copy. Grab a snack, a comfy seat, kick back and relax. You wont be moving until you finish this bad boy here. Remarkable job. Thanks for sharing.

This is a fast-paced, suspenseful read with great characters. It is full of intrigue, suspense and danger. From the beginning until the end I was trying to figure out who the villain was. A couple of times I thought that I had it figured out but, I didn’t. This is definitely a book that will keep you guessing. I would definitely recommend this book
This book had me on the edge of my seat! Morgan, an arborists at a park who wields a chainsaw and Wade, her newly returned ex boyfriend/photojournalist, stumble into trouble at the park and don’t know who to trust. We have nasty coworkers, demanding bosses, corrupt police, action, suspense, steamy hot sexy scenes and another chance at love.
Morgan is no joke!!! Love this bada$$, dealing with all of the hassles of working in a position considered to be a man’s job and doing it well. Throughout the story she proves that she is no wimp and that of course made her near and dear to my heart. I hate when the females turn into a petty mess when the action starts and she did not disappoint. This is a read filled with action and suspense and a bunch of characters who show their true self in the midst of a mess. This author did a great job of strategically placing twist that shifted the eye and kept you wondering just who all was involved. The battle of wills between Wade and Morgan was also fun to read as they came together to battle the clan of folks that were involved. Awesome read from a new to me author.
What a story! Corrupt law enforcement, no one is to be trusted and a second chance for Morgan Lane who works at Goldsen Park and photojournalist Wade Newland’s story. There is suspense, drama, danger, corruption, drugs, dirty law enforcement, shootings, murder, greed, and romance. I received a copy of this book via Hidden Gems and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A new author to me. A good read. This storyline is about Morgan Is quite the strong woman doing what most consider a mans job. Morgan is an arborist in a state park in Michigan. She couldn’t even believe it when her ex shows up, Wade, a photo journalist who disappeared without an explanation a year ago and comes crashing back into her life quite literally without warning. Wade acts the hero when he tackles her down trying to save her from someone running through the park in the dark with a gun. This story is filled to the brim with suspense that getting bigger and bigger.
Morgan and Wade had a good relationship until he just left her one day, when he comes crashing (literally) back into her life. They have to figure out if they can work it out whilst trying to find out who was shooting at them and what is happening in the park?
Who can they trust?
Good read different to my normal reads but still enjoyable
A great story of a woman succeeding in a man’s world. Wade and Morgan have a complicated history. Everything comes to a head when these two are inadvertently involved in a mystery. I like the way that this story unfolded. While I could guess some of the players, some were a big surprise. Great story!!
Confession time…I love this author’s books. Granted, I’m a few behind, but everything I’ve read by this author, I’ve loved. So when I was offered a review copy of this book, I jumped at it. Without even reading the blurb (I’m a rebel that way )…If you know me at all, you know I’m not a nature person. As in, I don’t like it in person and consequently, it’s not my favorite in my books
Ok, so with that confession out of the way, I’ll admit that it took me a while to connect with Morgan. I loved that she was such a strong women and character. That was great. Lol, but I couldn’t connect with her love of nature. That was just foreign to me. But it was all me.
I loved the way Wade came crashing back into her life. Lol, of all the ways that could have happened, that was probably the best. It was totally unexpected. Even though I had trouble connecting with Morgan at first, what kept me reading was the mystery Morgan and Wade found themselves in. And just as they found out one thing, more questions would come up. Who could they trust? Who did they see in the park that night?
As I read, I developed theory after theory. Some panned out (I called it on the bad guy!)…and some didn’t (I was totally wrong as to what the bad guy was up to!) (and fyi, I’m using “bad guy” as a general term…no spoilers here! )
I will admit, even though I didn’t put it together until his name was mentioned, I loved seeing Wade’s brother Grant from Resisting Redemption. Lol. As soon as I saw his name, I literally yelled at my kindle “I KNOW THAT NAME!”.
I would definitely recommend this book if you love strong females and a great suspense, second chance romance.
Morgan is a woman working a mainly male job, as an arborist at a park in Michigan. Wade is her ex, who is a photo-journalist. He left without a word to her months ago, but comes back into her life with a big bang – literally tackling her and sending them both over a cliff because of dangerous things going on in her park. This story has suspense, mystery, chemistry, love, and great characters. I started it and did not want to put it down until I was finished. I really did not see many of the things coming, and the ending was definitely a big surprise to me. This is the first thing I have read from this author, but it will definitely not be the last. If you like suspense, mystery, and some love – then I would say you should pick this book up and give it a chance, and I don’t believe that you will be disappointed.

He tackles her down trying to save her from someone running through the park in the dark with a gun. From the beginning of this book you are thrown into the life of Morgan and her co-workers.

Also will Morgan and Wade be able to work together to figure out whats happening? Will they be able to deal with their past to maybe have a future? Only way to find out is to read the book! You won’t regret it.
This is a new to me author and I received an ARC of this book. I had a hard time getting into this story, however, if you’re more into suspenseful thrillers than I am, you’ll enjoy all the twists and turns this book takes. I did love the fact that Morgan was successful in what is considered to be a man’s profession. Although this particular storyline wasn’t my cup of tea, I would read more books from Amabel Daniels.
-Wow fast paced, edge of your seat read. Don’t miss this book. It is great. Action packed and you never see what is truly going on til the end.
This was a great story! Great characters and excellent storyline. Kept me guessing. Will definitely read more by this author
Wow! Don’t Go Back is one thrilling ride with suspenseful twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. The plot is intriguing and I loved the mystery aspect of it. Wade and Morgan have a complicated relationship and when you combine that with the strange and dangerous things going on around them, it makes for a very interesting story.
I am highly impressed with Don’t Go Back, the characters are strong, the storyline is consistent and it’s a must read!!!
This book takes you on some great twists and mystery. Morgan is working in Goldsend Park cutting felling trees. She loves her job but not how her boss keeps her so busy. We meet Wade as he is saving her by crashing into her and rolling down a hill. Wow. This book has so many twist and turns, you are not sure who is her friend. This was a great read that will keep you on the edge of your seat flipping page after page.
WOW!! DON’T GO BACK by Amabel Daniels took me by Surprise!! It Intrigued from the Very Beginning of the Book and never a Dull moment page after page!! She is a New Author for me and She Had at the Very Beginning of the Book!!
This is a Thriller Mysterious Adventure with the plot thickens deeper into the mix with a Forest park full of Suspenseful Surprise Secrets further into the Darkness. Once I start reading this Jem, I Could Not Put It in Down and devour it in ONE Sitting! And just when you Think you figured it Out….BOOM! Another Twist & Turn is thrown into the Jungle!
Definitely Must Read Book with its Dark and Entertaining secrets!!
This was a good read but my enjoyment was dimmed by Wade’s actions.
This book is very suspenseful. It starts off with a bang and doesn’t stop. I couldn’t decide who to trust and who was in on it all. How it all came together I was surprised!! The author kept me off the tail pretty well.
