Griffin

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This was a wonderful book full of suspense and intrigue. I was glued to my e-reader while trying to figure out who would have ordered the kidnapping of an eleven year old (Amelia Rose) along with her tutor (“Lorelei) and nurse. Fortunately Griffin and Jax answer the call to rescue them. Little Amelia Rose is the daughter of a media mogul and is kidnapped in Thailand. After a harrowing rescue the guys then have to figure out who is behind the heinous act. I loved the dual POV that this book is written in. Getting to know them and their attraction to each other basically takes place in their thoughts in the beginning especially with all of the action going on. There is one minor sexy scene that was so highly glossed over that it should not offend anyone. That being said though, I can only highly recommend this story to anyone over the age of 18.

This is the second book in the Maverick series by Dale Meyer and it is equally as good as the first. Griffin Thomas had been a highly rated nave SEAL but was looking for a new direction in life. He had been selected by a US government black ops division to assist Kerrick, another ex navy SEAL in the successful rescue of a research scientist but now he was being asked to head another rescue, Jax was to help him and Kerrick was to be on communications, anything they needed they just had to ask but otherwise they were on their own. Amelia Rose was the eleven year old daughter of Gerard Whitaker, a wealthy newspaper mogul, she had been holidaying in Thiland along with Lorelei James, her tutor, and her nurse who was an old family retainer. All three were kidnapped and Amelia Rose and Lorelei had to watch the brutal killing of the nurse as a warning for them to cooperate. Gerard had connections in high places and he contacted MI6 who in turn contacted the Mavericks to help rescue his daughter. Griffin and Jax headed for Thailand, it was two against a small army of kidnappers, who would win ? Who had instigated the kidnapping ?, was it an inside job involving newer members of the household staff who had been employed by the family despite reservations from the head of security ?, was it indeed one of the family ? Were Amelia Rose's two brothers involved,their father kept them on a tight rein and both stood to gain from her death?, was it her uncle who always felt inferior to his brother ?, was her mother, or any of her many lovers, involved ?, in a roundabout way she also stood to gain. This book contains frantic action, treachery, murder, kidnapping, edge of your seat suspense, and of course romance, it is a real page turner that I didn;t want to put down. Although this is a standalone book the epilogue leads nicely into the next story and I really hope that there will be many more. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Griffin had helped Kerrick on a mission op of the "Mavericks" (Book #1 in series). He (Griffin) is still deciding what to do with his future when he gets a call from the same organization asking him to take lead on a case involving a young girl, Amelia Rose, who has been kidnapped in Thailand with her nurse (Mary) and tutor (Lorelei). Talk of a wedding, ransom and harm entice Griffin to take on this challenge and Jax, a friend, will join him on their search. Amelia Rose's dad is a newspaper mogul based in London and has pull in high places which is how the "Mavericks" became involved. The rescue was intense. Then after covering the chip in Amelia Rose's arm, so no one could follow them, they began the tedious search for who would nave the power, money, connections and reason to kidnap this child. There were trips on a helicopter, a yacht, and a submarine to get back to London where, after dealing with second kidnapping, they carefully uncovered the truth. I really enjoyed this well done story. The epilogue talks of Jax taking a mission of his own along with a friend, Beau, who is huge and a sharpshooter. The word is there is a cruise ship and pirates. I'm in, can't wait to read this one too!
