“Prepare for an adrenaline rush! This book will keep you on the edge of your chair from the first page to the last. There were unusual aspects to the story line that I found very interesting. If some of the other characters reappear in other books, I would like to read more about them. I especially liked the hero of this book – he was very genuine. The writing and the story both deserved 5 stars. – Diane Adams

“Killer Cargo is Dana Mentink’s first romantic suspense title for Steeple Hill released hot on the heels of her cozy mystery, Trouble Up Finney’s Nose from Heartsong Presents Mysteries. A terrific book by the way. You’ll want to purchase that one too.

Killer Cargo opens with pilot Maria de Silva sitting in her small plane on the tarmac waiting for her contacts to arrive and off load her cargo of pet supplies. As she waits, she discovers an unmarked package mixed in with her cargo. Marie can’t resist opening the box, learning it contains far more than pet food. The box is filled with drugs and fills her with fear. She snatches up Homer the three-legged rabbit that is destined to be a snake’s dinner and abandons the plane just as her contact arrives. Maria, desperate to escape the drug dealers, borrows a car and charges into the unknown Oregon wilderness.

Racing into the One Word animal sanctuary, she crashes into Cy Sheridan’s stream and his life. Cy takes Maria in and introduces this city girl to his idyllic life among the animals. In return, she involves Cy in her plight and together they must evade her drug-smuggling client who thinks Maria took something of value when she fled. And I’m not talking about Homer. What follows is an intense, suspenseful read.

Killer Cargo opens with a bang and is filled with nail-biting scenes that will keep you on the edge of your seat leaving you to wonder if either Cy or Maria with be harmed. The romance is sweet and natural as the pair work through past emotional baggage that threatens to keep them apart. Both characters are likeable and believable causing the reader to cheer for them and hope they get together. And, the pair is surrounded by a unique and quirky supporting cast that keeps the reading interesting.” ~Susan Sleeman (Amazon Review)

“I enjoyed this book very much. It was fast paced and I didn’t find that there were any incidents that were created just to fill the pages of the book.

Anita Teel returns to a ranch where she had fled at one time to get away from Booker, the man that was very near to proposing to her, to find her brother. She was supposed to meet her brother Drew at a predesignated location and he never showed, but a couple days later received a distressed call from him telling her he was injured and the last word he said before abruptly hanging up was ‘murder’.

When Anita runs into Booker they find that their feelings for each other are still strong although she is not going to admit it. While she, due to a previous relationship feels that he couldn’t possibly love her, he is hurt with her because of something she did that has cost him severe financial hardship and betrayal.

Booker offers to help Anita find Drew and that is where it goes…

I enjoyed the twists and turns very much…. I just wish that it hadn’t ended so abruptly after everything fell into place. This is the ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I turned the page to read more and found the following page was the author’s note.” ~Toddee62 (Amazon Review)
