Cowboy Bodyguard

About the Book

Title: Cowboy Bodyguard

Author: Dana Mentink

Genre: Western, Mystery

Release Date: July 3, 2018



In this Gold Country Cowboys novel, Jack Thorn gets a surprise call from the woman he married in secret years ago. Shannon Livingston needs his protection for herself and the baby she’s hiding from a biker gang targeting the mother. Now Jack must help Shannon, even if shielding her means pretending to be a true husband to the only woman he’s ever loved.

My thoughts:  Ms. Mentink promised us a bumpy ride in COWBOY BODYGUARD and that is what is delivered. Imagine working as an Emergency Room nurse when a biker is brought in... and he isn't one of the many good bikers... No. He's part of the 1%, part of a very dangerous gang that'd rather kill you than look at you.  Not only that, but injured biker's girlfriend is accused of pushing him down the stairs, causing this accident -- and the biker's want to retaliate by kidnapping her newborn baby and killing her.  She is only a teenager and  a bit panicked and doesn't know where to hide from all these scary tattooed bully bikers.  Of course, Shannon is intimidated by them too, though she tries not to show it, and goes running to her estranged husband Jack for protection--who better than a cowboy, right?  But even miles away she is still in danger and those bikers are on her tail...  and I am so glad I am not a heroine in one of these romantic suspense books.  (shudder).  I would never survive the first attack and of course there are more than one, two, three... there's usually a dozen or more. Plus the black moment when all is lost.... 

Again, with this suspense we know who, we know why. But we don't know when, where or how, so there are plenty of reasons to keep reading. 

Don't miss COWBOY BODYGUARD. Fans will want to read Cowboy Christmas Guardian and Treacherous Trails first to get stories from other secondary characters in this book.

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 ungrateful. 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!
