Guest Post from Dana Mentink

Howdy, friends! I am so thrilled to be galloping into the second book in the Gold Country Cowboy series with you. This book was a hoot to write. It’s got a nice twisty mystery and plenty of danger! Our hero, twin Owen Thorn, is a Marine doing his darnedest not to fall in love with his brother’s little sister, but you know how these things go, don’t you, partners? There’s trouble ahead in cowboy country and this story will take you on a wild gallop to the happy ending! God bless and thanks for coming along!

MY THOUGHTS

Wow. That was my first reaction after finishing this book.I tend to do my reading on my hour lunch and I did not want to go back to work... I wanted to keep reading.I finished this book in about 3 hours total. 

This book starts out with a bang - and it DOES NOT STOP. There were NO pauses in the action. It just keeps on rolling.

Ella. The central character - such a lovely woman. Accused of murder she is determined to clear her name. Owen. Ella's brothers best friend. Former Marine. Hardened from war. Determined to protect and clear Ella's name at all costs. 

My favorite line of the book: "It's like trying to stop a tank with a squirt gun." 

This is book two of the Gold Country Cowboys series. It can be read as a stand alone. 

If you like action and adventure with romance and violence downplayed with a Christian theme - this is the book for you 

I received a copy of this book from the author through Celebrate Lit Blogging Program -- all thoughts are my own.
