Geir

Another enjoyable read from Dale Mayer. I call this a mystery as well as suspense because we still don't have the answer as to who is behind it all. More info came out about Mouse and Dales writing had me facilitating between hurting for Mouse past and angry at what / how he became a seal. Or did he? I like the way our famous Detective is showing up in some of the books. The romance between Geir and Morning Blossom progresses at a realistic pace, which I appreciated and had plenty of steam :) Suspense, action, and of course our hot seals, all round out to make this another great book. I received this arc from Booksprout and voluntarily leave my review. All thoughts and opinions are my own and unsolicited.

As the search for more information about Mouse goes on, former SEAL Geir Winthrop travels to San Diego to follow up on some clues around Mouse's life and drill down on some of the disturbing information the team has uncovered as part of investigating their so called accident a couple of years ago. He stays at a B&B co-owned by artist Morning Blossom and her father. Morning sees the B&B as her safe haven as she struggles with self doubt in her abilities as an artist. Having stayed away from relationships since a bad one she starts to believe that she could have some thing with Geir if only he wasn't going to go home at the end of his stay. Geir on the other hand is determined to protect her after realising just how naive she is about security in her place especially as his world of danger starts to spill into her home and business life. Can he find the answers, protect Morning and is there a chance of them having a long term relationship? This was a delightful story which had all the necessary ingredients of a SEAL based romance - drama, danger, a strong need to protect a woman and the chance of a relationship in the future. It helps if you have read the previous books in the series to understand the events that triggered this search for information but it is also possible to read this as a stand alone story. I loved the way Morning's painting was progressing as the attraction between Geir and her was also developing. En enjoyable story with a few twists and turns too.

Time is running out as the complexities of this plot start to unravel... Discipline, being secure in life and work is what Geir has had in his life until tragedy struck that forever changed his life and those of his teammates. Theories, more questions, and not fully comprehending all that their deceased team member, Mouse was. What they are unraveling is proving confounding and frustrating, even though they feel they are now starting to learn more. While going back to a past that holds former memories of wholeness, it will lead Geir and his team mate/friend, Jager, to more questions, and finding the depraved man who destroyed innocence under cunning guile, It will also bring something completely unexpected and fresh. It’s a feisty young woman, Morning Blossom, that with her naïveté, innocence, and a hard fought for belief that most people are inherently good will bring new possibilities. For all of them, as the net closes in... people become desperate and danger lurks in the very confines of what you hold dear and where you should feel safe. Oh BOY!! Dale continues to reveal more layers of suspense and mystery. There is a sense that in GEIR, time is fast running out. Another layer to the mystery is evolving and those responsible are doing their level best to eliminate and get rid of any connection to the land mine that forever changed and shaped the men of Seals of Steel. Dale continues this captivating series with yet another page-turning drama of Intrigue, twists and unexpected turns - with GEIR. I highly recommend not only reading GEIR, if you haven’t already begun this series, please go back to the beginning and start reading the SEALS OF STEEL series. It’s for those that love military based heroes and the women that capture their attention, protect those they care and love. It’s a bombshell of a mystery that you really want to delve deep into and solve. Plus, what’s some romance on the side to keep of Seals of Steel captivated. Are the friends we thought we knew, those we worked closely with, we saw war with, our friends, our protectors... really who they are? Only time will tell or is that time running out. Next up is Jager and is sure to be explosive in what will eventually be revealed.
