Guest Post from Dana

Writing this book was bittersweet for me. It was lovely to finally be able to tell youngest Thorn brother Keegan’s story, but I sure am sorry to say goodbye to this series! It was such fun to write about these four kinsmen and the family bonds that held them together through all manner of murder and mayhem! Here at Mentink Manor, we have recently sent a bear cub away to college for the first time. It feels like I have lost a limb now that my Boo Boo is gone! Fortunately, we will enjoy having her home for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Though it won’t be a cozy country Christmas like it is for Keegan (we live in a city of 80,000 here in Northern, CA) we will be thrilled to have all our family home to celebrate together (Mama Bear, Papa Bear, two cubs, a naughty terrier, and a senior citizen box turtle!) I hope you enjoy this last installment in the Gold Country Cowboy series. I am sending along our best wishes for a blessed holiday season, from our Mentink household to yours!

My Thoughts

I was over the top excited to read this book! I have been LOVING Dana Mentink's books! Typically I don't read many Love Inspired simply because they are so short. But every once in a while I find an author that I just have to read everything they write because their writing is that fantastic. 

Anyway, needless to say this story was a great suspense. I couldn't really put it down because I had to know what was going to happen. The family in this series has been the best and really ties all of the stories together. It was fun to see Keegan grow throughout the story and I really liked Tracey's character. The murder in this particular book had me stumped for awhile, which makes it all the better! 

If you enjoy a little suspense in a beautiful setting with fantastic characters, this is the book for you! 

Five stars.
