My Thoughts on Deadly Christmas Pretense:

I was so happy to ride back out to the Roughwater Ranch Cowboys Series! The first book was amazing and I could not wait to read this one just like I can’t wait to read the next one. I really wish authors wouldn’t leave us in suspense for so long for each new book to come out!

This book brings us new characters but also brings back some of our favorites from book one. We get to take a deeper look at Lima in this bok. He’s an ex-Green Beret with some issues he has to work through.

Who better to help him work through those issues than the twin sister of his ex-girlfriend Tammy? Of course, he didn’t know Tammy had a twin named Maggie. And he definitely didn’t know he’d be so attracted to her!

Tammy got herself into a whole lot of trouble and can’t remember some key details. Meanwhile, Maggie is in some serious danger when the bad guys think she is Tammy. It’s her lucky day when Liam finds her and saves her.

Can they work together to clear Tammy and save all their lives before time runs out? There’s a deadline but someone forgot to tell them how to beat it.

I loved the book and highly recommend it. The author writes great characters who you fall in love with. And of course because you’re in love with them you can’t stop reading and the book reads really fast.

The worst part is the ending because then it’s over. Oh, and they give you a sneak peek into the next book, which you can’t read all of yet. Man. I love and hate when they do that because now I have to know what happens but I have to wait! Torture!

More from Dana

I just love Christmas, don’t you? In our area, we have a lovely holiday train. It’s an old steam type train which is decked out in lights for festive holiday tours. I was so thrilled that this cover features just such a train. Of course, in the novel, the train is the scene of hair raising danger! Maggie, our heroine in this novel, is a cook. She serves up some mouth watering dishes (when she’s not dodging a killer.) I thought perhaps you might enjoy a Mentink holiday family recipe! God bless you as we enter this holiday season!
