By Dana Mentink
About the Book:
Genre: Inspirational romantic suspense
Release date: June 1, 2019
After putting his serial killer brother in prison, former US marshal Mitch Whitehorse chooses a solitary country life—until his brother escapes. Now Mitch’s former sister-in-law, Jane Reyes, needs protection…for herself and the toddler she’s kept a secret. Mitch still isn’t sure of Jane’s innocence in his brother’s crimes, but to keep his nephew out of a killer’s grasp, trusting her is his only option.

My Thoughts:
I must admit that my first choice of reading material is not usually one taking place on a ranch, however, this book was one that grabbed my attention from the first page and just wouldn't release me until I had read the last page!!! If you are looking for a book to keep you on the edge of your seat, with your heart racing, then this is an excellent choice for you!!
Dana is the queen of storytellers! She is able to engage you with each and every character in her story,vividly describing each one, allowing you to feel the story unfold , while feeling every challenge, hurt , fear and emotion . I walked alongside these dear people as they stumbled along their rocky road of life. There are two brothers in this mysterious tale. We think of brothers sharing some traits however these men are as different as night and day. One loving and kind, the other as evil as could be. As the story progresses, we learn how this complicates the development of a romance.
The plot is suspense filled, with twists and turns that keep the reader guessing from beginning to end. This journey is complete, filled with terror, with a mad man seeking others in order to kill them . He wants them dead and nothing else will satisfy him. He has the others questioning themselves as they attempt to trust each other. Can anyone be trusted???? God has a plan but are these individuals able or wanting to follow it? The unexpected ending shows us the power of our Lord.
I highly recommend this book to all suspense lovers! I have to tell you that it did take my heart a while to beat at a normal rate again!!
The thoughts and opinions expressed are honest and my own. I was not required to write a positive review.

More from Dana
We’re kicking off a new cowboy series, but this one is going to take you for a wild ride! Set on a ranch that’s sandwiched between the sea and the hills required me to do some on site research of course! I spent quite a while in this gorgeous area of California, looking for cattle. (You can see the zany results in my video.) I found the cattle, and also the perfect setting for this first book. It’s a creepy one, I’ll warn you, as hero Mitch Whitehorse comes face to face with the serial killer brother he sent to prison….and his desperate ex sister in law. Saddle up and enjoy the story! God bless!
