Have mercy this book will take you on one fast-paced , very intense ride. You have a wrecked eighteen wheeler driven by Kit who comes to as a man opens her passenger door. Thankfully it's Cullen, though Kit doesn't know at the time that he is a good guy. While he is trying to find out what happened, they hear a sound and find out that there is a baby in the sleeper part of her cab. While Kit is trying to figure out why anything is happening, Cullen is trying to figure out the best option to get help. Then out of nowhere bad guys show up, all the while Mount Ember is on the verge of erupting. This book will keep you turning the pages and you will lose sleep until you get to the last heart stopping page. Throw in a tough as nails retired marine, and this is one book that you won't soon forget. You will even get an education on volcanoes, or at least I did. I also loved how faith is woven into the whole story. This sentence stuck out to me "If a person can't accept forgiveness themselves, or refuse to give it to someone else, it puts them in the place of God, doesn't it?" I didn't want this book to end. I want to thank the publisher and Netgalley for an early copy of this book.

Fire Mountain, what an awesome and exciting story!
Kit is a truck driver who is run off the road. Unfortunately, she hit her head and has no memory of the event or how a baby got in her truck. Cullen is a former police officer who likes his privacy. But his cop instinct tells him something more is going on, and they need his protection. Kit doesn't like needing a man's help, but what can she do? They're on a mountain that's getting ready to explode, and time is running out for them to evacuate. And now there's 2 men wanting to kill them all because they think that Kit was given something by the baby's mama.
With every page, this book keeps you hooked on the story, and you don't want to stop reading. And what an ending!! Wow!!

This is the first book I have read by Dana Mentink. Fire Mountain did not disappoint! RIght from the beginning I could not put it down. Full of nonstop action, suspense, and wonderful characters, this story had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. If this is book one in the series, I can’t wait to see what happens next!

I received an early copy for review. The opinions expressed are my own.

“…you big galoot…”

“-‘when you spend three days together crammed in an ATV with a stranger’s baby, running from a killer and a volcano, dodging bullets and lava, you learn all you need to know about a person’s character. ‘-

My first thoughts as I began reading this newest story by Dana Mentink were how much I loved the richness of the vocabulary and the imagery she portrays with her descriptive words. I pictured everything in my head so easily and the words flowed so smoothly. I thought, “Ah, yes. This is going to be a good story!”
And, wow! It sure didn’t disappoint! Nonstop action and intrigue from the very first page! I was absolutely hooked! I couldn’t get enough and I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series! A very enthusiastic 2 thumbs up! 👍🏻 👍🏻
