Book Review:
I’m always thrilled to read a Dana Mentink book and Cold Case Pursuit is no different. Penny and Tyler worked so well together, I couldn’t wait to get to the end and find out how everything turned out.
Penny is one of those characters who gets deeply rooted in your heart and you can’t help but wish the best for her. After all she’s been through, she deserves peace.
I love how all the different aspects of police dogs came into play and am eagerly anticipating reading more about the Brooklyn K9 unit.
I read the book in one sitting. From the first line, I was hooked. While not as fast-paced as some romantic suspense, I thought Cold Case Pursuit moved as it should. The danger was real and imminent but the romance balanced it well and brought everything together. Especially the scenes with Tyler’s little girl. Talk about cuteness.
I highly recommend this book for any reader of romantic suspense.
I requested this book from Celebrate Lit. I was not required to leave a positive review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

More from Dana
I love book covers with adorable children on them, don’t you? There’s something so angelic about those wee folks on the covers. I have two bear cubs myself, young adults now, and I love them devotedly. Tell you what though. Sometimes, just occasionally mind you, they were a wee bit naughty. Don’t tell anyone, but one reason I enjoyed writing Cold Case Pursuit so much is that hero Tyler is the single dad of a little girl named Rain who is….er…a handful. Sure, she’s adorable, but she’s prone to disobedience and the occasional tendency to flush things down the toilet. So in addition to the edge of your seat pursuit of a murderous clown killer, there are the shenanigans of a precocious preschooler, a highly trained yet distractible police K-9, and a romance that doesn’t exactly run smoothly. Fun to write? You betcha! I hope you enjoy coming along with me on this True Blue adventure!

Romantic suspense sometimes is so incredibly fast-paced that my brain wants a rest. Cold Case Pursuit seems to be comfortably paced so that I can enjoy the romantic moments and especially the cute ones.

I read cozy mysteries mostly but I like romantic suspense IF they are clean. Written by Christian authors is the surest way to make sure they are clean and wholesome! Thank you for the chance!
