DANGER ON THE RANCH
Her child's life is on the line. A Roughwater Ranch Cowboys story.
After putting his serial killer brother in prison, former US marshal Mitch Whitehorse chooses a solitary country life -- until his brother escapes. Now Mitch's former sister-in-law, Jane Reyes, needs protection...for herself and the toddler she's kept a secret. Mitch still isn't sure of Jane's innocence in his brother's crimes, but to keep his nephew out of a killer's grasp, trusting her is his only option.
My Review:
Wow...much darker subject matter than I'm used to seeing in a Love Inspired Suspense. Mentink does a great job of building up the creep factor without going overboard but it still gave me stalkerish heebie-jeebies. Sometimes a reader needs a good shivery book to cower into. :-) And this one fits the bill!
It starts out really tense. Mitch's...almost repulsion...for Jane oozes off the page. That knee-jerk reaction clashes with his sense of decency and honor though. Talk about internal conflict! And as much as I felt for him, I grew exasperated with him too. Poor Jane needed a break and Mitch wasn't about to give her one. Of course, I had the benefit of being party to Jane's innermost thoughts so I knew she was innocent. Mitch, on the other hand, had to s-l-o-w-l-y work that out for himself. But when he does -- wow!
Intense action, dark foreshadowing, and a seriously evil villain make Danger on the Ranch a page-turning thriller. And -- woohoo! -- this is the first book in the Roughwater Ranch Cowboys series and I'm already clamoring for Liam, Chad and Helen's stories (especially Liam's!!!)

Since I've had to cut down on my review teams to almost nil, Dana Mentink was one of those authors I needed to drop from :-( Which makes me tremendously sad because I love her writing (and her personally)!
ReplyDeleteThis one especially intrigues me because of Mitch's brother being a series killer. I mean, can you imagine?? Yikes, bikes!! If course I want in on this :-)

That's what makes it a bit darker than the usual LIS -- it plays more in your mind as you're reading. And he really is a vile villain. Good luck, Trixi!
DeleteYeah, and I see autocorrect strikes again....instead of " serial killer" it's "series killer" ...as if he's killing off book series...hahaha!!!! 😂😂
DeleteBwahahaha! I noticed that and had an immediate image of all our beloved series in jeopardy. We'd have to make up a posse of bibliophiles to hunt down that wretched series killer and lock him away for good. :-)
DeleteOh this book of Dana's sounds Great 👍

Ooohhh -- you need to read one of Dana's book soon. Good luck, Tighefan!
DeleteOoh! Another LI Suspense I'm putting in for. Although I was already familiar with her books, you turned me onto her Gold Country Cowboys Series with the Thorn Brothers. In fact, when I first saw this cover and author, I thought maybe there was another missing Thorn sibling! Lol!

This one is going to be just as good -- only the ranch clan aren't all blood siblings -- but there's cowboys! And tough, complex men (and one woman) who will get a chance to shine in their own stories. Can't wait. Good luck, Terrill!
DeleteSounds good and pretty cover. Thank you for sharing.

DeleteAlways enjoy Dana Mentink's books. Sounds like DANGER ON THE RANCH will shake you up, cause you to possibly tremble and then touch you with a romantic glow which makes all of it sound fabulous to me. Can't wait for the opportunity to read more about Mitch and Jane's story. I'll lock the doors, grab the security blanket and as they say get 'r' done when I start reading this wonderful sounding book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win a copy!
