My Thoughts:

This book is the fourth and last book in the Gold Country Cowboys series, Keegan Thom's story. For those who have read the others, you will already know what a talented writer Dana is!! It can easily be read as a standalone!

I was immediately pulled into the action of this novel, as it starts out with a bang!! Yes , a shock but also a murder! I can only imagine how it would feel to witness a killing, and then on top of that, the body disappears and there is no proof that it took place! Add to that, a case of amnesia and you have some real sit on the edge of your seat suspense. No one, other than a tall, blue eyed , handsome cowboy believes that the murder actually took place. The quick pace and twists and turns in this detailed, realistic plot, kept me reading long after my bedtime. I simply could not put it down!!

The characters come to life and immediately draw you into this tale of suspense and intrigue. I walked along beside them as they made their way through a very difficult, complicated and dangerous path attempting to solve this mystery. This is a tale of hurts from the past, present and how faith can carry you through . There is hope when you allow God to supply your needs and forgive others as well as oneself! The Christmas theme that is present in the background gives the reader hope for a better life for herself, after reading what these caring people have gone through.

If you enjoy a high level of suspense , you will find this a riveting read!! Expect the unexpected!! Action packed!!

I am eagerly awaiting the beginning of another series from this talented author!

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!
