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 grateful. 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!

My thoughts:
I have read every book in this series and truly enjoyed them all. I am hoping we get to hear Keegan’s story next 🙂 He is such a live-wire.
Anyway, this crazy marriage of Jack and Shannon is sure heated.
Jack is so strong and stable, and his faith is genuine. He truly loves Shannon and my heart broke for him on several occasions when she pushed him away.
Shannon is a hurt young woman who thinks she can earn her father’s love by being good enough. She is striving to prove her worth when she is already made worthy by the work Jesus did on the cross.
The suspense in this book is good too, danger around every corner.
Another winner by Dana!
