In My Opinion

I’m a little bit sad to say goodbye to the Thorn family. It’s been fun getting to know these four cowboys (and Dana Mentink’s books) through this series. I knew the youngest Thorn brother who has a penchant for trouble was going to fall hard and fast—and Lost Christmas Memories does not disappoint.

When Tracy Wilson witness a murder and flees for her life, Keegan Thorn finds her trying to hide in the woods. Then she loses pieces of her memory and can’t identify the killer or thoroughly explain what happened.

The chip on Keegan Thorn’s shoulder is deep. Despite being adopted into a loving home with three brothers and a mom and dad who love him, he has never forgotten that someone else didn’t want him. And that plays into how he views the people from his other (biological) family.

From the first pages, readers are taken on a wild ride through the California foothills with danger lurking everywhere. There are also some sweet moments which show the influence the Thorn family has truly had on Keegan over the years.

This series comes full circle as it started at Christmas and ends at Christmas with some big celebrations. Plus, the Love Inspired authors know how to write great Christmas reads (even when the main characters are fighting for their lives).

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!
