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

NOOOOOOO I do not want this series to end. I have read the entire series and I am so sad that it is over. This one has been my favorite of the whole series. Keegan finally gets his story and BOY is it filled with a lot of twists and turns. If there is one word that sums up this author's writing it is: Unpredictable. You think you start figuring out where the story is going, and BOOM something else happens. This book also starts out with a bang... Tracy witnesses a murder, but noone believes her except Keegan. As always the characters are well written, has a captivating storyline and can be read as a stand alone. (Although I would suggest that you read the whole series). 

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit blogging Program. All thoughts are my own.

  1. I did not read the other books in this series. Is this book a standalone? (Sorry if you already mentioned that and I missed it.)
