Guest Review from Donna

What I think you should know:

Targeted in the Desert by Dana Mentink is the sixth and final book in the Desert Justice Series. While you could read this as a standalone I recommend reading the prior books in the series as this is an action packed series that will keep you on the edge of your seat while making you fall in love with the Duke family. This book features Jude Duke and Felicia Tennison.

What you might need to know:

Felicia was adopted after being abandoned as a baby.

Felicia and Gracie have heart problems.

What I think about this book:

This has been such an exciting series, and like the previous books it started off with a bang! After all of the awesome Dukes I was excited to finally get Jude’s story. I enjoyed getting to see Furnace Falls and the family from his perspective. Felicia had some very realistic struggles with all that she had thrown at her in the last two books. I really appreciated her honesty. I loved Stretch ( The Great Dane) and his devotion to his family. While I am sad to see this series come to an end, I know that Mentink will have something great in store for us in the future!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Celebrate Lit, this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.

At last! We’ve arrived at the final book in the Desert Justice series! It seems like just yesterday I was finishing book one, about cousin Beckett Duke who was falsely imprisoned. Then we met cowboy Levi and his twin Willow, dog lover Austin, donkey rescuer Nora and FINALLY sheriff Jude Duke gets his story! I am a fan of a hero with some miles under his belt, aren’t you? Could it be because I’ve got more than a few under mine? Ending this series is bittersweet because I am thrilled that the Dukes all received their happy endings, but I’ll miss writing about their adventures in Death Valley. Hope you’ll come along on my next series. (Could be there are bloodhounds in our fictional future!)

God bless!
