"Cold Case Connection"is fast-paced and keeps you turning the pages to found out who murder the two woman and if they really are connected. The dangers just kept happening and I am really surprised about who the real murder was.
This book could be read as a standalone, but I question why would a reader who likes romance and mystery stories with a faith element what to be left in the dark about all the background of the other characters. This is a story revolving around a family, although not are all blood related. So I say read the other two first.
In this book, Helen and Sergio learn to forgive themselves and each other for guilt and blame.
I really liked this short story by Dana Mentink and awaiting book 4 in the series.
I truly have enjoyed every book by Dana Mentink that I have read. She writes stories about real people who are struggling in their faith as we all are.
I received a contemporary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

Cold Case Connection was really fun to write because it’s Helen’s story. She’s an intelligent, sensitive woman who is the sister to the men living on the Roughwater Ranch. Liam is her biological brother, but she’s just as close to Chad and Mitch who might as well be blood relatives. In this novel, Helen has to relive the worst moment of her teenage life, the night when a mysterious murder occurred during a teen prank. Helen is going to have to face the past in order to preserve her future. Cowboys, a case gone cold, a coastal ranch and a whole lot of danger…I hope you will enjoy the ride!Blog Stops

Hope for New Beginnings: Devotions for the Adventure– Stepping into any new beginning not knowing what is ahead, is exciting and unsettling at the same time. Our Hope, as Christ-followers, rests in knowing that we do not move forward in our own strength, but in the strength of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. We pray these devotions will help prepare your heart to learn from the Lord as He affirms His steadfast love that gives the strength and hope needed to walk boldly into whatever new beginning the Lord has in store for you. These devotions will guide your thoughts toward the biblical truths presented in the background and focal Scripture passages. Each devotional has exercises (you will choose at least one to do each day) that lead you to interact with the biblical truths presented and gain a deeper understanding of the truths in each devotion. Biblical Counselors, when you are ready to dismiss a counselee, this makes a great assignment for the next thirty-one days, then have the counselee come back for a final check-up.
