In North Dakota U.S. Customs and Border Protection interdiction agent
Dante Thunder Horse flies his copter to check out a farmer’s report that a snowmobile
illegally crossed from Canada. While
flying solo because his copilot has the flu, Dante knows this is the third
anniversary of the worst day in his life; his late fiancée Captain Samantha
Olson died on this date in Afghanistan.
He spots the snowmobile and watches in astonishment a man launch a
rocket propelled grenade at the helicopter.
Dante survives the fiery crash but his assassin fires shots at him.
University of North Dakota Paleontology Professor Emma Jennings is
near the crash area searching for the skull of a T-Rex when she sees the
inferno. Emma rushes to the scene only
to witness a person on a snowmobile firing at recumbent man wearing only
thermal underwear. Heroically she
crashes into the shooter’s vehicle knocking away his gun. The assassin flees so Emma checks on the
wounded person who she recognizes. Dante
and Emma head to his Thunder Horse Ranch knowing her intervention places her in
peril.
This is an entertaining romantic suspense with some gender bending
action as the academic saves their butts several times. Fast-paced throughout, Christmas At Thunder Horse Ranch is a fun thriller.
