Cold Case Connection by Dana Mentink is the third book in her Roughwater Ranch Cowboys series. Private Investigator Sergio Ross believes his sister was murdered. While hunting for clues he discovers a connection to an old unsolved murder from years ago. Joining forces with his sisters’ best friend, Helen Pike, he races to find the answers before they become the next fatality. The story starts you out on the edge of your seat and keeps you there all the way to the end. I enjoyed getting to know Sergio and Helen and their struggles to leave the past in the past and move on. To not let their guilt, ruin the rest of their lives. I loved the way Sergio took time to spend with the girls even though he was busy looking for a killer. It was good to connect with some old friends, too. That’s what’s so nice about a series. So, if you’re looking for a suspense-filled romance then this book is for you.





I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review. ( )

From the very beginning this book is full of suspense and it captured their attention. The plot is believable and enjoyable. I wanted to finish the book once I started reading. Two unsolved murders claim the stage in this book. I loved how Sergio and Helen interact.

Trying to solve the two unsolved murders puts their own lives in danger in the present. The two have to work together when Sergio realizes his sister’s unsolved murder may be connected to another unsolved murder. But Helen is linked to both deaths and therefore the two have to find a way to work together.

The author gives us a story that has many years in the making, and sad results from the beginning.
We meet a young man who now has the responsibility of raising his sister’s twin daughters, and blames her friend for not being there for her when she too was murdered.
Sergio wants answers and now has his sister’s friend on his side looking into who is covering up the original murder.
My mind ran the list of the characters and who could be responsible, and with more attempts, and more murders, my guesses kept changing.
This is a fast pace read, and you will be quickly page turning for answers.
