Love Inspired Suspense Books are a favorite series of mine. 
Dana Mentink is probably my favorite author of the Love 
Inspired Suspense Books. Dana is back with a new series 
Desert Justice and Framed in Death Valley is Book 1 in this series. 

Newlyweds are supposed to be happy and enjoying life. Well, 
for Beckett Duke, who is a firefighter, is arrested for murder just
4 weeks after getting married. Laney Holland, his new wife, is 
the only one who believes he is innocent. Laney is served with
divorce papers while Beckett is in prison. He is ultimately let out
of prison due to a Police mishap. He reveals to Laney that he served
the papers to protect her. Laney's life is in danger and Beckett knows
he will do anything to protect her and their unborn child. Will there be
a reconilation for Beckett and Laney? Will Beckett prove that he was 
framed for murder? 

WOW, another FANTASTIC book from Dana Mentink. I was literally
on the edge of my chair with all the twists and turns. I really loved
how Laney stuck to the vows and marriage and stuck by her husband 
while he was in prison. The book is short, but has a lot of action and love
packed into it! I am SUPER Excited about this series and cannot wait until
more books are released!

What’s up in Death Valley?

 

As the desert vistas opened up in front of Papa Bear and me, I felt an amazing sense of peace. Mind you, we were visiting Death Valley in the fall. No braving the 130 plus summer temperatures for this couple! I simply cannot describe to you the wonder I felt, as a  suburbanite from a bustling, noisy Northern California city. There is never a moment at home when I see only open horizon, when I hear nothing but quiet breezes. I was, quite simply, stunned.

 

I had done some research about places to visit as potential series settings, and Death Valley was at the top of the list. The websites did not disappoint. Artist’s Palette, the gorgeous peak painted in a rainbow of rock colors? Check! Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America, glistening with salt and not so lifeless as one might think…check! How about my favorite moment…jouncing along the precarious trail through Titus Canyon? Check! Would all of these incomparable locations be suitable for a six book suspense series? Roger that!

 

It’s ironic that I felt so welcomed by such an inhospitable locale. Visiting is one thing, but it takes a certain rugged breed of individuals to live in such a hostile climate. What fodder for fiction! I simply could not wait to get home and start creating the Duke family. And you know what? When this pandemic is over, Death Valley is the first place I want to return…in the fall, of course! Do you have a place near and dear to your heart? What’s first on your travel list after the world opens up again?
