In this Gold Country Cowboys novel, Jack Thorn gets a surprise call from the woman he married in secret years ago.

My Thoughts:

Wow, another great author that I haven’t read before. This is the third book in the series. I haven’t read the previous two books. Regardless I was able to grasp the story without any problems.

This was a page turner and full of surprises and action. I couldn’t put the book down and read it in no time.

My only problem is the size of the book. Ugh, I’m getting old is the issue. I prefer a traditional size book rather than the pocket size books. That’s not the authors issue with my ~~age~~ eyesight.

There are few main characters. Jack is the bodyguard that also happens to be a cowboy. He’s what I like to think of a good old boy. Jack is true to his word, loyal as can be, and just a great all around cowboy. Then you have Shannon who is still married to Jack but, you would have never known because they haven’t been together for a longtime. She’s an ER doctor who finds herself in a bad situation with her small baby. Shannon kind of rubs you wrong at first as she is a whirlwind of emotions with Jack and just plain mean.

Then there is Dina and her 4 month old daughter Annabell. Dina made some really bad choices and her life is in danger. She has to get out of town to find her brother if she wants to live.

That’s when the adventure and suspense really begin. The story has the element of faith entwined within the story. The plot and setting are great.

A great story and I’m curious to look into other books from Dana Mentink

Guest Post from Dana Mentink

I’ve spent a bit of time in emergency rooms lately. Not to complain, mind you. The asthma related treatments worked like a charm and we were blessed by good care, so I am not grateful. There’s a bonus, too. The emergency room is a great place for people watching! Hour upon hour I spent surveying patients, relatives, nurses and doctors. I came away pondering what it must be like to work in the strange bustle that is an emergency room. That’s where character Shannon Livingston was born. The E.R doc and nurses must be brilliant problem solvers with nerves of steel because they never know what will roll through their doors. Since they are not responsible for follow up care, they have only a short term relationship with their patients. But what would happen, my fictional mind wanted to know, if one emergency room treatment ensnared Shannon in a “run for your life” scenario? And what if her incredible life saving skills weren’t nearly enough to save her own life, or the baby she’s suddenly become responsible for? Ah me! The perfect scenario for a suspense novel, no? I hope you enjoy Cowboy Bodyguard. I can promise it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
