He’s all about second chances… Anders loves winter and the wilderness, so a trip to the Swiss Alps to retrieve a glaciologist is right up his alley. When he realizes who he’s picking up, he can’t help but smile at fate.He’d walked away last time he’d seen her because staying was so damn wrong… Now he can’t wait for a chance to reconnect – especially now that she’s no longer engaged… An expert in … longer engaged…

When Anders comes barreling back into her life, to take her home on her father’s orders, she’s not amused… and she has absolutely no intention of obeying.
Particularly not when she understands why her father demands her return.
Anders can feel the undercurrents, but she won’t explain what’s going on…
Can they bury their differences before danger overtakes them both and his dream of a future together dies before it’s ever had a chance to start?

Dale Mayer has done it again. There is always something going on in this book, what I really like about it is the steamy scene comes in the last chapter and it isn’t dragged out. It’s more about keeping their charge alive and delivering her to her father, which she is astranged from and has not desire to go back. But there are lies, evil and sick things going on at her father’s. This is one book I’d read again.
You think braving the Swiss Alps during blizzard conditions was dangerous…
In this latest addition to Heros For Hire, Dale transports readers from the streets of London into the wintery wilderness of the Swiss Alps. Amongst the majestic and breathtaking scenery, lies deadly danger not only what Mother Nature dishes out in a blizzard but what mankind is capable of acting out. For Angela, it’s decidedly deadly. No one around her is safe. For Ander’s, this new assignment has just turned personal… it’s coming face to face with the woman he wanted but that Angela wasn’t his to have…
While Mother Nature is fickle… it’s nothing compared to what transpires when she reluctantly heads back to London and her estranged father’s estate… You think braving the Swiss Alps was dangerous… it’s nothing compared to the emotional, turmoil coming home presents. No matter how brave, how steadfast you project… it’s also where secrets lie.
A wonderful story from start to finish, that is easy to read during a quiet weekend. Very strong characters that despite the fiery exchanges, time, patience and the ultimate faith and strength of Ander’s convictions, will bring about trust. There are also moments of sadness and hostility. So beautifully written.
If you love page-turning mayhem, with a romance that just needed the right time and circumstances to happen, and the added intrigue of secrets exposed – Dale Mayer delivers with ANDER’S ANGEL. When trouble and suspicion start to rise and the intent to harm escalates – it will be up to Ander’s and his team to come through and keep Angela safe.
A recommended reading for those that love military based heroes, their suspenseful drama, and the intricacies of beginnings and endings. This can definitely be read as a stand-alone book but with any good series, there are recurring characters from previous books. If you haven’t already… you may want to start your journey at the beginning of the HEROES FOR HIRE series, for a more in-depth understanding of the character dynamics and a full appreciation of this entire series.
Ander’s has just finished up the mission with North and is enjoying Nikki’s grandfather’s company when Levi gives him his next assignment. He’s not that far away, it’s in Switzerland. The job is to extract a Parliament member’s daughter from the glacier she’s working on and keep her protected until she’s home and safe.
Angelica Winthrop is a glaciologist, she’s been studying ice and snow for years all over the world. This work in itself is dangerous, there are many variables in play, the cold and weather to name a couple. On this trip Angelica and her team, Nate, Steve and Hannah are at the mercy of the weather as a blizzard comes in.
Unable to contact Angelica, Anders, Harrison, Desi and Reyes plan their trip up the mountain. However when they discover others are already climbing they request helicopter support to get them to their destination quickly.
For the guys, it comes as no surprise when there is sniper fire just as Anders reaches Angelica and her team. They knew others were out there looking for her.
With one of her team injured it becomes a priority to get him help as well as keep Angelica safe.
With Nate safely at the hospital and doing well, they get the rest of the team ready to leave the country.
Angelica doesn’t like where she is headed though and makes her position very clear. She wants nothing to do with her father. Circumstances prevent the guys from taking here anywhere else and things just keep ramping up from here.
Anders and Angelica are perfect for each other and as all the pieces start coming together it becomes clear that this is a relationship that will last.
Plenty of action, intrigue, family drama and just the right amount of sizzle.
Anders’s Angel by Dale Mayer
Heroes for Hire Series Book Seventeen
Anders Renau just finished a job with his buddy North. And of course, North found the love of his life. Now Anders is heading to Switzerland to head up a job. And of all things, it’s to rescue a package…a live and kicking female. One that he might have a past with.
Angelica Winthrop loves her job. Up on the mountaintops getting data on glaciers. Working with her team and staying in the small cabins. It’s all part of the job. Until blizzards and white outs happen and they get stuck inside. Or…if they get shot at. Seems her no-good father has once again done something to tick someone off and put her in the middle.
Great story that takes some twists and turns. The series always has great main and secondary characters. This book introduces two new team members, Reyes and Dezi, along with Anders and Harrison. And Ice seems to know exactly what team member to send on what mission as she is hitting one-hundred percent on her silent matchmaking.

This very enjoyable read is filled with suspense, drama, danger and romance. The story really pulls you in and the characters make sure you stay engaged. I really liked Angela and Anders. Their chemistry was steamy and I though it was very easy to feel the attraction between them. With their past history and Angela’s present situation serving as a perfect foil for their snappy banter and sparks. A excellent read!
Anders is looking forward to his assignment to rescue and protect a woman whom he has met previously but at that time she was engaged and now she is not. He loves the wilderness and has agreed to bring her home safely to her dad. Just getting her down the mountain is difficult enough as they dodge bullets but returning her to family is another challenge. Then there are the connections to the past. It’s all mixed with complications, suspense, romance, love, honor etc.. All in all, another winner which I will happily read again!

This book had everything that I liked in a Dale Mayer book. Anders a member of the Legendary Security team is assigned to go to Switzerland to retrieve Angelica and take her to her father’s home for her safety. To do this, Anders and his team had to use the skills they learned in special ops to protect Angelica and her team of glaciologists. This book had everything that I expect in a Heroes for Hire book danger, action, and romance. If that wasn’t enough, I loved the final twist at the end. Once I started reading this book, I couldn’t put it down. I finished it in one sitting and even read it a second time. I was a little disappointed in Dale Maye’s previous book, but she more than made up for it, this book was great!

Wow! Thank you Dale Mayer. I am not a fan of second chances, but this was more an intense meet on the second round. It really picked up when Angel and Anders are in Europe, at “Carlo’s” house. Man Angel you are one feisty women, you go girl! Suspense, some heated sex towards the end. I was able to indulge in the story and then the sex came as the cherry on top. It did not detract from the plot line, which really really was a plus. I voluntarily leave this review, all thoughts an opinions are my own and unsolicited.
A fabulous story with strong characters, nail-biting suspense, mystery, twists, turns and a bit of romance. I loved the attraction and chemistry between Anders Renau, who leads a team from Legendary Security to retrieve a glaciologist in Switzerland, and feisty Angelica Winthrop who has spent her life studying snow and ice. I knew I wouldn’t be able to put the book down as soon as I started reading and didn’t want it to end when I got to the last page. Ms. Mayer has given us another must-read in her Heroes for Hire series and I can’t wait to read Reyes story in book 17. I received an advance reader copy of this book from Booksprout and this is my voluntary and unbiased review.
Delightful!
We visit a unique location in this next exciting book of this fantastic series!
I enjoy Anders quiet and subtle approach to life. He studies his surroundings before taking any action. He would be considered the strong, silent type focused on his agenda. Angela is a reserved, intelligent young woman who is passionate about her work which, in this story, revolves around glaciers and cold, unpredictable weather. Think Mount Everest instead of just a little flurry of snow.
This author’s depth of imagination is phenomenal. The imagery and detail put the reader right smack dab in the middle of a snowstorm, on a mountain with a nip of frostbite in the air! I can almost feel the blowing cold, wishing for the comfort of my fireplace and a hot cuppa.
There is everything in this story – murder, mayhem, quirky and a small bit of normal if you count being near the top of a Swiss Alp type of terrain normal! The danger is two-fold with the weather and the bad guys. Oh, and there is the sexy, long awaited attraction between the hot guy and the beautiful woman.
Excellent job! I loved it!
This one is full of suspense with a second chance romance. The setting descriptions are one of my favorite parts. You truly feel like you are right there with the characters. Another great read by this author!
What can I say about Dale’s books but wow. They always give me what I want from a military book. Suspense, intrigue, great characters, a fantastic storyline and the twist that you never saw coming. Anders has been given a mission. Go to Switzerland and get Angelica back to her father because of the threats against him for an upcoming policy vote. So Anders goes with some colleagues to collect the asset. No one knew he already knew her because of a liaison a year ago which led to nothing but he was interested. Angelica or Angel collects samples from ice and analyses them as part of her scientific research. As a storm comes in they realise they may not be equipped as well as they thought if they stay longer than three days.
What we then get is a race against time for Anders and co to get Angelica and her colleagues off the mountain before the bad guys get them. What do they want and who has sent them? As they make there way it turns deadly as one of her team is shot. As the story progresses it’s still a race against time to get the injured to safety. Once deposited at her dads home in England it’s then we see the twist on who, why and when. Not saying more as it will spoil the story but OMG I didn’t see that happening at all. Can Anders and his team save the day? With so many variable ways this story could go the main question is…….does Anders get his woman? As usual a great story and I can’t wait for others.
This book has Anders leading a team to the Swiss Alps to provide protection for glaciologist Angela. Their mission is to provide protection for Angel and take her home to London, on her father’s orders. As we learn, Anders and Angelica had met the year before, but she was spoken for at the time so of course Anders did the honorable thing and left.
There was a lot of suspense in the story, especially while they were traveling down the mountain. Looking back, I think I may have held my breath a few times wondering what was going to happen next. And I definitely didn’t see the twists that would happen after they were back in London but loved that the guys were willing to take Angelica away from there if the circumstances would have warranted it.
Loveeee..love this book, hands down this is my favorite from Dale Mayer.
This one is a second chance romance mix with suspense.
I love everything about this book. From the suspense to the sweet cute fiery banter. From the ugly family feud to the high strung attempted murder. Yup I love all the actions, the drama, the twists and the sweet love. And let’s not forget the characters, all of Dale Mayer ‘s heroes always has those alpha male qualities, so honorable and always serve and protect as much as any men in the uniform would, and so is Anders, but what makes me love him more is his bluntness, no sugarcoat anything, and Angelica definitely a perfect match for Anders, she’s feisty and stubborn, so their banter always fun to read and always make me smile.
If you’re looking for suspense romance read, this book is for you and it’s a MUST-READ one.
*I voluntarily received a review copy of this book
I have read all the books in the Heroes for Hire series and to date this is my favorite. The author steps it up in the suspense and action in this read, having me on edge and throwing in a couple of twists and turns near the end.
Anders has had his eye on one female, Angela aka Angel, for a year but he left her behind since she was engaged to someone else. Now he has the mission of finding her in the Swiss Alps and bring her back to her father, who has had threats against him and exposes Angel to the danger. The journey is dangerous and it’s not only the bad guys they have to escape, Mother Nature is unforgiving as well but when they make it back to her childhood home, there is something more sinister behind the scenes.
WOW what an amazing reading filled with action, suspense, twists and turns and steam. The sparks between these two is exploding and I loved how Anders doesn’t give up. Not only that but the strength, determination and vulnerability of Angel, made me fall in love with her as well. I loved how even though her vulnerabilty was present at times, her strength was just as prevalent as well as when her dad pushed her, she pushed back equally strong and stood up for herself. Can’t wait for the next one !!
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
I love anything by Dale and this was another in a long line of great books. Hero’s for Hire is a definite must read series. Start at the very beginning, you won’t be disappointed. So many characters from past books make an appearance, as well as characters from her other series, pop in from time to time.
Ander’s met Angel a year ago and knew instantly that she was The One and was devastated to realize she was engaged to another man, so he backed away. They meet up again when Angel is in danger (and is longer engaged) and Ander is not surprised to realize the chemistry is still as strong and he will do whatever is necessary to protect his woman
Will Anders get his second chance with this woman that knocked his socks off when she was engaged to someone else?
A fast paced, action packed suspense. There’s bad guys and danger at every turn. Can he get them all out alive and back home? There’s something dark going on here and you may or may not see it coming. Great plot and wonderful characters, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I really loved this book! Dale keeps writing books that keep you engrossed! The characters are so lovable and have you rooting for them till the very end. Love how the characters interact with each other and how characters from other books in the series make an appearance in the book. It keeps you wanting more books and Fast! The book draws you in and keeps you turning the pages. The story is so believable and has you hanging on to every word! You won’t want to put this book down. The action, suspense and surprises make for an exciting read!

If you like books with action and adventure with many unexpected twists and turns along with shimmering romance uniting it all then this is the book for you. Dale Mayer is a master of this genre and never disappoints. Her heroines are independent and loving while her heroes are all alpha male. Anders is decisive and kicka**. It is love at first sight for him when he meets Angel but she is engaged to another man. How can things possibly work out for this couple?
This series just gets better and better. When you can’t imagine how another story can be better than the one your reading, Ms. Mayer proves you wrong by writing one that is. Highly recommend this author’s books.

Another fantastic read by Dale Mayer!
Anders and Angelica met a year ago, and he knew they were meant to be. She was engaged though, so he did the honourable thing and walked away.
Now she is single, and he is hired to protect her from threats against her life.
A second chance at a life together, if he can save her from the danger in her life.
This was another page turning, stay awake to finish in one sitting book.
Outstanding!
