Another fantastic, captivating, cowboy novella from the talented hands of the wonderful Dana Mentink. She takes suspense and swoon worthy cowboys, a touch of romance and lots of inspiring messages and wraps them up in an unforgettable plot line.

Ms. Mentink’s Ella and Owen are beautifully chiseled into characters that will steal your heart instantly. I loved their story. Watching Owen and Ella come to terms with not only their feelings for each other, but also with who’s behind framing Ella, was an intense ride! I love when a book will do that to you!

This second installment in the Gold Country Cowboys series is definitely one that I recommend with a high flying 4 star praise. This book will keep you up late, turning page after page, biting nail after nail, as you fly through the book to get to the last page and see how the story ends. You’ll be dying for more from this talented author! I can’t wait for the next one. Well done, Ms. Mentink!

Wow! Have you read any books by Dana Mentink yet? Treacherous Trails was my first and I am hooked. With just the right blend of suspense, action, and romance this story was hard to put down from the start.

Ella was a fantastic, well-developed character. After a period of rebellion and stupidity, she repented and turned her life around, being willing to take up her cross to follow the path the Lord had for her. Her tender heart for her sister who was brain-damaged was admirable and sweet, and yet she had such determination to stand up for herself and not get trampled on.

Owen couldn’t stop himself from acting the hero, despite Ella’s claims to not need his help. I loved his obsession with the weather and the way it kept coming into the story.

I loved Owen’s family as well. The way they stepped in to help Ella with her troubles was heart-warming. Each of the brothers was so protective. But the best one was Owen’s mom. She was so full of love. She also knew how to let her sons do what they felt they needed to without trying to interfere.

Though the story is mostly serious and intense, I laughed out loud at the scene after they got out of the hospital smelling like smoke. The clothes Ella picked out for Owen at the thrift store and the ensuing conversation was great!

I’ve now signed up for this author’s newsletter so I can know when her new books are coming out. You may want to do this as well.
