My Thoughts:

Suspenseful, romantic, spiritual, heartwarming … I loved everything about Cowboy Christmas Guardian! I’m not normally a suspense fan, but wanted to read this book because I had greatly enjoyed Dana Mentink’s writing in another series, and am so glad I did.

On a suspense level, this is a fast-moving, action-packed story, hard to put down even for a minute. But what I liked best is the family relationship element. Barrett is the first member of the Thorn family who captured my heart, followed by three other intriguing brothers – making this a series to anticipate. Chemistry sparks immediately between Barrett and Shelby, in spite of a past event that makes any kind of relationship highly unlikely, until their faith in God enters the picture.

Dana Mentink has crafted a highly entertaining story that also includes interesting facts about gold mining. Within the Love Inspired line, 5 stars.

Highly recommended.

Guest Post from Dana Mentink

Howdy, readers! I am thrilled to be bringing you this four-book Gold Country Cowboys series that takes place in an area near and dear to my heart! My family and I have enjoyed many adventures in this amazing area, from exploring gold mines, to climbing through caverns, and soaking in the incredible history. As a matter of fact, we recently enjoyed a train trip on the historic V and T Railroad which took us past abandoned mines and even some active ones where people are engaged in modern day treasure hunting.

California’s Gold Country is a fascinating place filled with secret treasures. I hope you will enjoy some wild adventures with four cowboy brothers who have some secrets of their own. God bless you all!
