| In the shadow of a threatening volcano, long-haul trucker Kit Garrido wakes up in her crashed big rig, unable to recall what happened or why she’s suddenly in possession of someone’s baby. Fiercely independent, she has to admit that perhaps this time she could use a little help. As the threat of eruption grows, former cop Cullen Landry refuses to leave his cabin in the evacuation area, which is why he’s the only one left who can help Kit escape the crumpled cab of her truck. He doesn’t want to get tangled up in the mystery of the beautiful woman with an abandoned infant, but when he sees the bullet hole in the windshield and the bloody handprint on the interior, he realizes that he’s in this thing, like it or not. When two armed men with ill intent approach, the race is on to stay alive, discover the truth, and find the baby’s missing mother–all while a deadly mountain rains fire from above.

My Review
Will the killers or a volcano find them first?
My first introduction to Dana Mentink's exciting romantic suspense was actually through her Love Inspired Suspense natural disaster series from a decade or so ago. I've stayed a fan of hers - across genres and publishers - since then, so I was pretty excited to see her Elements Of Danger series would hearken back to what had gotten me hooked in the first place - a good disaster story.
Fire Mountain proved to be every bit as dramatic and thrilling as anticipated and it has the Elements Of Danger series off to an explosive start. Seriously, dropping a mystery into the lap of an erupting volcano, well, it's kinda hard to top it. Dana Mentink kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish and Fire Mountain was definitely hard to put down. Both the volcano and the mystery threads had me turning those pages to find out more and what might happen next.
From cover to cover, Fire Mountain was a good read, and, as a result, I am really looking forward to the next book in the Elements Of Danger series. Dana Mentink has me hook, line, and sinker with book one, so I'll have to see how she amps up the ante in book two....
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Fire Mountain by Dana Mentink a 4 Bark rating.

More from Dana
Hello, dear readers! Are you ready to leap into the world of a woman trapped near an erupting volcano? I know. Dropping that character into circumstances where the very earth under their feet is unreliable, where they are cut off from their technology, their transportation, civilization itself with no way to summon help, feels almost cruel. Imagine you’re in a volcano eruption zone with no way out. Now add in a stranger’s baby, a vulnerable infant, , and you are their only hope to stay alive. Why am I so compelled by those scenarios? Me, the woman who loses her backpack in the airport. I believe it’s because in those difficult, stressful moments when we accept our own helplessness that the grace of God shines brightest. Real people and fictional ones survive. Wells of strength are discovered. Hidden rivers of resilience surface. Big cities, island roads, overpasses, in the shadows of volcanoes… in the darkest moments we realize we’re never truly without His help.
