Lost Christmas Memories
About the Book

Book: Lost Christmas Memories
Author: Dana Mentink
Genre: Inspirational Romantic Suspense/Christmas
Release Date: November 1, 2018
A witness with amnesia
Can she trust this Gold Country Cowboy with her life?
Tracy Wilson witnessed a murder—but after a head injury, she can’t remember what she saw. Now someone plans to silence her for good, and only cowboy Keegan Thorn believes her. With a killer after her at Christmas, Tracy is running out of time to remember…and falling dangerously hard for the cowboy who could break her heart.
My Thoughts:
I've read all the books in this series and I was excited to get to Keegan's story.  I loved the previous ones but there was something that just called to me about Keegan (it may be that I can relate to his hot-head tendencies but we won't go there). His story didn't disappoint.  Keegan sees a woman in danger and jumps in with both feet.
I liked Tracy.  She isn't a quiet shy woman, but one that can take care of herself.  The way she and Keegan meet made me giggle a bit. I absolutely loved Tracy's grandpa, he was the best! There was plenty of action and I loved catching up with the Thorn family. The story was great and I loved the changes in the characters that the author shows.  The ending seemed a bit fast but that also fits with Keegan's personality so it worked.
It was a 5/5 for me.  I truly have come to love this family!

Guest Post from Dana

Writing this book was bittersweet for me. It was lovely to finally be able to tell youngest Thorn brother Keegan’s story, but I sure am sorry to say goodbye to this series! It was such fun to write about these four kinsmen and the family bonds that held them together through all manner of murder and mayhem! Here at Mentink Manor, we have recently sent a bear cub away to college for the first time. It feels like I have lost a limb now that my Boo Boo is gone! Fortunately, we will enjoy having her home for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Though it won’t be a cozy country Christmas like it is for Keegan (we live in a city of 80,000 here in Northern, CA) we will be thrilled to have all our family home to celebrate together (Mama Bear, Papa Bear, two cubs, a naughty terrier, and a senior citizen box turtle!) I hope you enjoy this last installment in the Gold Country Cowboy series. I am sending along our best wishes for a blessed holiday season, from our Mentink household to yours!

  3. I first "met" Dana on the Love Inspired group a month or two ago. Sadly, I didn't win anything, but she was hilarious and I signed up to become her Facebook friend. I also follow her on BookBub.
