My Thoughts:
Pilar Jefferson ran off on her wedding day to Austin Duke. Sure, they had their problems, he could be stubborn and not nice, especially after his injury, but they had decided their love was worth working on and living out, or so Austin thought. Pilar left without a trace, and she had good reason. Danger was on her heals and she thought it best to run.
Then one day Austin comes to deliver an old dog to its adopter and low and behold he meets up with Pilar, who is much changed now, even if it has only been six months since he has last seen her. Austin gets down to business quick and demands answers. Pilar gives them somewhat reluctantly but gives them she does and even I as a reader am shocked at what she has had to live through. Austin realizes real quick Pilar didn't have cold feet at their wedding, danger had come for her.
With the usual top notch Mentink suspense, this was a fun thriller to dive into and escape the real world for a while. The dogs Austin worked with for had me choked up a bit, and I will say I was concerned for those precious animals!
I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
About the Author
More from Dana
I remember standing on the edge of the lookout and gazing into the wonder that is Artist’s Palette in Death Valley. Artist’s Drive, which takes you to this breathtaking view, rises above Badwater Basin (the lowest spot in North America) and then meanders along twisting canyons and hills until it brings you to this popular tourist stop. The premier view is a place called Artist’s palette. It’s a sprawling pocket of color, hues of rose, ochre, green and gold tucked in the rippling landscape and teased to life by the desert sun. Isn’t that just like God? To lead us to surprises and wonders that await us in a sometimes hostile world? Every day we spent in Death Valley held a surprise, from the rocks that move mysteriously across the sands to the towering twists and turns of 20 Mule Team Canyon. There are only two things to do with a wonderous place like that…enjoy the divine bounty, and write a novel set there so others can come along!
I hope you will enjoy this third installment in the Desert Justice series. The first is Beckett’s story and then we had quiet cowboy Levi’s adventure. Now it’s brash pilot Austin’s turn. Will he get his happy ending after being dumped at the altar and wrecking his shoulder in an accident? Turn those pages and come with me to Death Valley to find out!
