My Thoughts:

I have really been enjoying author Mentink’s stories about the Thorn brothers and at last we get Keegan Thorn’s story. His story starts out rather quickly in the midst of helping out his family with wedding and baby preparations for the holiday season; he decides to help a damsel in distress. That damsel, Tracy Wilson, is not quite a damsel but she is need of help especially help with keeping safe as a murderer has put his/her target on her.

This was a fast, action paced story with not a lot of breathing room for the characters as they were trying to watch their backs and just get on with the process of living their lives and doing their jobs. I liked Keegan, always have from the previous books, and I think Tracy was a great match for him. I found the struggles that Keegan had with his adoptive family and his blood family believable and relevant in the choices Keegan made and the way he lived his life. This was a good suspense and a nice ending fro the Thorn family whom I will miss.

I received a copy of this book from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

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!
