This is a entertaining and exciting book. I loved the chemistry between Dezi and Diamond. I thought the storyline was engaging and well paced. A compelling blend of romance, suspense, drama, danger, action, twists, steam and intrigue are combined into one very enjoyable read.
This is book 18 in the Heroes For Hire series and it features Dezi and Diamond. The mystery and suspense is fantastic and took over the whole story. I didn’t see the “not very exciting “ romance until it was already happening. It seemed like an afterthought. There wasn’t much in the way of flirting or foreplay. There were sexy times but not a lot of sexy talk.
Again, this story didn’t really need the romance because the mystery and suspense carried it through. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
I have really been enjoying this series of books by Dale Mayer. Dezi is sent to help Diamond find out who is stealing her jewelry designs and making copies to sell. She does not know if they are trying to ruin her reputation of making one of a kind pieces or if this is a case of jealousy. Dezi and Diamond hit it up together almost immediately. This is another match made by Levi and Ice. I would recommend reading the books in the series in the order written if you want to follow up with the characters as there is always another character popping up from previous stories.

I was completely enthralled from the beginning, on the edge of my seat and hanging onto every word with unforgettable characters, suspense, action, mystery, twists and turns in this can’t-put-down book. I loved the undeniable chemistry between Dezi Arnold and exclusive jewelry designer Diamond Liechester. This is book 18 in Dale Mayer’s must-read Heroes for Hire series and I look forward to reading book 19. I received an advance reader copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest review. I liked it so much, I purchased a copy to read again later.
Wow we are on book 18/19 already and still so much love to be had out there. I love the fact that these stories are not only about the strong men of Levi’s company helping those strong women that need it but it’s also a sort of matchmaking service. Then men know it’s gonna happen and no matter how much they fight it is inevitable. Diamond is a jewellery designer and maker in her own right even though her father is known through out the world. Hers however falls off its axis as someone wants her designs and pieces. As Dezi and Vince get embroiled to find out who it is, she is kidnapped but it all seems to be a diversion. Who wants he gone and her designs? Employee, sister or ex?????? A great storyline with some great characters.
Dezi wants what some of the other guys on Levi’s team has found…someone of his own to love. But he doesn’t think it will happen for him. He’s surprised when he’s picked for the next assignment that deals with a forgery in the diamond industry since he considers himself not from that world. However, Levi and Ice think that’s exactly why he’s perfect for the assignment.
Diamond just wants to create her jewelry. She doesn’t want to think about why someone is trying to ruin her reputation but she knows she needs help. When Dezi continues to bombard her with questions, she thinks he’s being intrusive but answers his questions anyway. Then someone breaks into her house and kidnaps her and Dezi is determined to get her back. When he does, they uncover even more questions that need answers. And Dezi is more determined than ever to find those answers and to keep his Diamond safe.
Another amazing read by Dale Mayer and every book in this series is ahhhmmmaaazzziiiinnnggg!
Diamond Liechester has three sisters all named after jewels, Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire are their names. Diamond has her own business designing, making and selling one of a kind pieces but her sisters aren’t the rebel she is and all work for the family Liechester business which has several locations around European countries.
Diamond calls her friend Ice when she discovers one of her pieces is a forgery and it was paid up front to the tune of half a million dollars but this one is only worth about fifty thousand.
Dezi is sent on this job because as Ice put it, because he’s good at getting to the bottom of all that’s dirty.
Diamond and Dezi have some pretty strong chemistry going on between them so it was interesting to see how it played out.
Dezi like all the Heroes for Hire is very protective of what he considers his. And he considers Di his so some bad guys get an extra punch in the face.
This book is filled with action and adventure along with some interesting twists as the mystery is solved.
Legendary Security, known by many as Heroes for Hire, has a new job and Dezi is protecting a jewelry designer who is under attack, both through her business and personally. The “who” has so many possibilities — family ? friends ? an ex ? a stalker ?

I am huge of Dale Mayer and her Seals series. She is on my “auto-buy” list. I enjoy each new novel and the brief glances of past characters, it’s like catching up with old friends. Dezi and Diamond just flow together beautifully. I loved the phrase “Diamonds are forever”. Great, great book.
This is one of those books that as soon as you start reading, it grabs you and won’t let go until you finish the last page. The way the story is told leaves you guessing until the end. The fact that Dezi and Diamond find each other is just icing on the cake!

Keeping Diamond safe….Levi sends Dezi and Vince to Houston to investigate a high end jewelry forgery. Diamond, a jewelry designer, doesn’t realize how vulnerable her business is until Levi’s men arrive. Dezi is concerned that there is something personal in the attacks on Diamond’s business and that Diamond herself is in danger. I received a free copy of this book from the author through Booksprout. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. Diamond is very creative about her jewelry and runs a very successful business, but is vulnerable to today’s technology. One of the things that I enjoy about the series is that the women come from different backgrounds and businesses which I learn a little about. This is a very good suspenseful book that kept me guessing until the end. I really like this book.
Slight twist in the series, one I really appreciated. This one is based around a diamond store, a designer named Diamond and her dysfunctional family that is held together by a fathers love. Dezi is not from money but walks with belief in confidence in his self. Can you say sexy! A man who has confidence in his self, but is not a cocky a**hat is such a win. Diamond is a brilliant designer who is not only talented, but intelligent, again, win! We meet her millionaire dysfunctional family and we get to have Levi show up in person. I really enjoy this series and having it take place in a different setting, getting to know Diamond and the intrigue in her family (subplot) just made this one all the more enjoyable. Thank you Dale Mayer for the opportunity to review this arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own and were unsolicited.
Another unputdownable fast-paced suspense romance read from Dale Mayer and this one has plenty sweetness and of course I love it.
This book has mystery and suspense and I love how the story keeps me on edge expecting something bad will happen in the next page and the fact that Dezi and Diamond are from different world but still so perfect for each other is what makes me love this book more. Even though it’s a bit rushed in the end and there are some things that got me questioning why they did it, I still enjoying it nonetheless.
If you’re looking for a fast-paced suspense read with plenty sweetness, this book is for you.

One born with the golden spoon but lack family support and love, the other from alot more simpler beginnings but lots of love and support, Dezi and Diamond takes on a journey with them finding out that your beginnings dont mean you are set in your ways, join together for a new start. Ups and downs along the way with old friends which becomes family keeps this story moving. Love the ending where family is mended and new family is made. Love this story well worth the read.
OMG I loved this book!
I was all over the place trying to figure out who the bad guy was hahaha. I was wrong on every suspect I picked.
Dezi and Diamond are wonderful characters. I love how the women in this series are strong, brilliant women. No shrinking violets here folks haha.
What a fantastic story, and another book I can read again in the future. This whole series is outstanding. You just don’t want the book to end 🙂

Dezi loves working for Levi’s company and goes wherever the work is. However, when exclusive jewellery designer Diamond contacts the company about someone forging her work and then swapping it for the real one at the point of shipment so they can steal it, Dezi is sent to help investigate and find out who is doing this before she is professionally ruined. However, it quickly escalates into kidnapping and armed robbery. Can Dezi and Diamond figure the mystery out before it escalates to murder?
I loved this story because it was much more of a mystery story that had an attraction/romance woven into the story as it was developing. The identity of the criminal behind the plot was either easy or not depending on how you think about it (personally I had only got near to the end before I had worked it all out). Dezi and Diamond built a great relationship that definitely is good enough to withstand the tests of time. I loved that Diamond was a strong and feisty woman who knew what she wanted and how to get it. Well written and very enjoyable.
Dezi and Diamond are what make this story. These are some of the best personalities I’ve read in the series. I loved the jewelry aspect of the story. It set this book apart from the rest in the series. When it comes to Diamond’s family, Wow! There are some interesting characters there that I’d like to see more of. Full of action, suspense, and romance this author just keeps delivering.
Another wonderful story to enjoy! Yes, it’s about diamonds and ‘Diamond’ is the heroine. ‘Diamond’s’ family business is, of course, diamonds (she and her sisters are all named after jewels) and she has created a name and business of her own by designing jewelry. This story is about family dynamics, drama, wealth, betrayal, greed as well as loyalty, and love. The mystery surrounding who is providing and trading the fake jewelry for the real stuff gets very complicated with so many suspects. There is some kidnapping involved, info on password safety, security, being alert and safe, etc.
Dezi and Vince have been sent by Levi to help solve Diamond’s problems. Levi has a personal interest as Diamond has created his fiance’s (Ice’s) engagement ring. Of course, there is romance involved which is very nicely done.
Looks like Vince will be next in line to find love and I can’t wait to read his adventure!
This is a wonderful addition to the SEALs of Honor series, it’s book 18 in the series and can be read as a standalone but I would start at the beginning because every one that I’ve read has been absolutely awesome.
It’s Dezi’s turn in Ice’s matchmaking schemes and he really meets his diamond. Diamond is a well-known jewellery designer and has noticed that her work is getting copied. She turns to Ice and Levi for help. Dezi and Diamond have wonderful chemistry while there is chaos and drama going on around them. Can Dezi save Diamond and her business while keeping their budding relationship on track?
The storyline is interesting and intriguing, plenty drama and action to keep you entertained. The characters are incredibly likable and relatable. Loved it.
