About the Book

Book: Danger on the Ranch
Author: Dana Mentink
Genre: Inspirational romantic suspense
Release date: June 1, 2019
Danger on the Ranch CoverAfter 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:

Sometimes I just need a good western. Former US Marshal, Mitch Whitehorse had to put his own brother in prison. His brother's crimes; that would be murder. He's on the side of good and justice and his brother has become a serial killer. Now, if that weren't enough stress, his brother is on the lam. He's escaped, he's after Mitch and now his Sister-in-Law and his nephew are begging for protection. Poor Mitch! He's got so much guilt and now two more people to protect? I felt for the guy. He's carrying so many burdens and struggling to do what's right, now he has these new lives to contend with caring for and keeping safe. 

In true Western style, we have lots of suspense. It's a movie in print as the pages flew by revealing more and more about Mitch, little Ben, and his mom, Jane. Themes of forgiveness when you're so mad at God you can't see straight run through this book. It's not a light and fluffy read. This one is dramatic and gritty.

More from Dana

We’re kicking off a new cowboy series, but this one is going to take you for a wild ride! Set on a ranch that’s sandwiched between the sea and the hills required me to do some on site research of course! I spent quite a while in this gorgeous area of California, looking for cattle. (You can see the zany results in my video.) I found the cattle, and also the perfect setting for this first book. It’s a creepy one, I’ll warn you, as hero Mitch Whitehorse comes face to face with the serial killer brother he sent to prison….and his desperate ex sister in law. Saddle up and enjoy the story! God bless!
