Jager Hannover, a former SEAL, has recovered from the damage done when his squad’s truck drove over an antitank landmine more than two years ago. Six other team-mates were also badly injured, the seventh–Mouse–dead, in what their team leader Badger Horley realized later had to be a trap. On the hunt for answers about Mouse’s history and the one who set up the trap, Jager ends up in Vail, … Colorado.
He followed Mouse’s best friend here only to discover he’s already disappeared, leaving a trail of death in his wake. Getting himself to this particular place wasn’t easy as it’s also where his parents died in a tragic accident. While on a cross-country road trip, their motorhome went off a corner of the mountain and plunged them to their deaths. Considering the information he’s found thus far, he fears this was no accident.
Allison Monroe is a police officer in Vail, Colorado. Her husband, who was also a cop, died a couple years ago in a skiing accident. Staying in the place where her dreams were shattered has given her time to sort out her grief and evaluate the direction she wants to go with her life. Getting caught up in Jager’s investigation of someone she knows only as a party animal and womanizer isn’t what she intended, but the attraction between the two of them is instant and undeniable. Passion turns to deadly purpose in a race against time when they follow a killer to Santa Fe, where he’s hunting badgers…

Sorry to see this end, it was such a great series! All the hints paid off and I really liked the characters in this final chapter. Allison was very upfront and a gutsy gal! Her and Jager’s relationship builds as they solve the mystery together. As always Super to see all the couples together and see them interact. Also great that it highlighted the service men’s integration back into non-service life and their challenges. All together a very satisfying end!

This is the seventh book in this series. However, more importantly, this book is the conclusion to the mystery of the eight members of a SEAL team who hit a landmine while on duty oversea. Seven of the men were seriously injured, and one man died. When the men discover that this “accident” was actually committed on purpose, they spend their lives trying to find out what happened and why.
Throughout this series, Ms. Mayer has taken us on a journey filled with surprises, intrigue, danger and adventure that includes a lot of obstacles and dead-ends.
However, Jager’s story is the book that finally reveals all of the answers! But first, the author includes a lot of obstacles and twists and turns in this book as she unveils all of the secrets. However, don’t worry – the ending will not disappoint anyone who has been glued to this story since the first book!
There is not much more I can say without giving away too man spoilers. So there is nothing more that I can say except to repeat the explanation I said when I finished the book. WOW!!
The series SEALs of Steel is an original take on the SEAL romance. This series focuses on a SEAL team that was involved in accident which killed 1 and badly injured the other 7. The team doesn’t believe it was an accident and in each book the team gets closer to figuring out what really happened. In this book Jager volunteers to go on this mission alone, since he’s the only one left on the team that hasn’t found his partner. Jager meets Allison a local cop after someone reported his suspicious activities. When Jager explains why he’s there, Allison decides to help him. Jager’s fears are confirmed when he goes to the accident site and finds out that they were ran off the road. Working together they determine that the answer their looking for are back in Santa Fe and they need to get there to help protect the team. This is the final book and the answer to what happened has finally been revealed. Allison makes a great addition to the team helping the team formulate plans. I really enjoyed the series and look forward to the next series.

This was a great book. I loved the interaction between all the characters. I loved the action, the suspense, the romance! Everything from the previous books was tied up in this book. And, wow, there were some real surprises! Holy cow! The story was a roller-coaster ride! Reading this book had me on pins and needles wanting to read faster, but then again, wanting to slow down as I knew all the answers to all the questions we have had from the previous books in this series would be answered but didn’t want this story-line to end!
Loved the way Dale wrote the series and brought all the people together to assist in finding out all the answers the guys had from the “accident” they were in while in the service. The story took you through the wringer, kept you on your toes and made you want more, more, more! Loved it! What an awesome book! What an awesome series. Look forward to the next book in the series!!!

What a read!! The truth is finally discovered behind the land mine set-up and kept me on the edge of my seat, turning pages as fast as I could to see what was happening!! Jager tracks Mouse’s friend to Colorado in his hunt for answers only to discover he’s disappeared. He meets Vail police officer Allison Monroe who gets caught up in the investigation and the attraction and chemistry between her and Jager is undeniable. Ms. Mayer has blown me out of the water with this must-read series and I can’t wait to read the final book eight. I received an advance reader copy of this book from Booksprout and this is my voluntary review. I enjoyed it so much, I purchased a copy for my keeper library.

Can I just say WOW as to the culprit? This series has led us on a chase around the world in search of who was responsible for the killing of one SEAL and wounding 7 others in a land mine explosion. While each book has answered some questions, but raised many more. Also within each book, a SEAL was also able to find his HEA. This book was the culmination of the search.
I just loved this book. Jager was able to find his lady love in Allison (a Vail, Colorado police officer). I can’t wait for the eight installment of this series. I truly hope that the series continue with more SEALs coming on board like Allison suggested to them (similar to the other series from this author). I would hate to not read about some of these characters.
I HIGHLY recommend this series to anyone. You really need to start at the beginning with Badger to get the most out of this series.
What an exciting book this was but the ending was not what I had expected. The mystery is finally solved and Jager has found a perfect partner in Allison.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The characters from past books were still there in force and each one knows how the other thinks. All the Seals of Steel are ready to meet again in Valhalla if necessary but know that this must end now!
Allison and her brother were added as characters and seemed to fit perfectly.
This ending had a dark side revealed that none of us would have thought at least not me. I mean it was way over on the dark side. Kudos to Dale Mayer for delving into this mystery.
Allison is a cop in Vale, Co. with an attitude that can handle Jager and then some. She is just what he needed in his life and he is perfect for her since she lost her husband 2 years earlier in a ski accident.
Jager by Dale Mayer
SEALs of Steel Series Book Seven
Jager Elstad is the last single man standing from his SEAL team. So he heads off to Colorado alone. His parents’ had died there in an accident and he needed to find out if…like so many others connected to their team…it was truly an accident. Or murder.
Officer Allison Monroe had stayed in Vail, Colorado after her husband died. It just felt like if she left…she’d be leaving him behind. Now, she was questioning more as she fought being under the command of a man who would rather stand behind his wife-beating friend than his officers.
Jager and Allison didn’t expect their lives to change so drastically. But, once they met, it set something into motion that just couldn’t be stopped. Still, there was a killer out there and Badger’s SEAL team and the women they loved wouldn’t be safe until the killer was stopped. Wonderful series that was a complete romance in each book, but a mystery that was continued.

This entertaining and suspenseful book is a great read and a very welcome addition to this series. It is book seven of eight of this series and as we approach the finish line we begin to get answers to the questions we have been waiting on. That doesn’t mean that there are no twists along the way though, because trust me there are. In tandem with this we get Jaden and Allison’s romance. This is a great book and series. The overall plot is engaging, the mystery will keep you guessing and the action keep you interested. The emotional level is high as these wounded heroes struggle with the damage that has been done to them, feelings of betrayal, a burning need for answers and unplanned for romance. I can’t wait for book eight. This is my forthright review that I am posting of my own choice.
Jager is the last one to read about in this team and I thought the end of the series. So excited to see #8! This book brings everything together on the mystery that the landmine started. So many things happen to bring closure to everyone at some level. I have probably said this about each book in the series, but this one is even better.

This series has been building up to this moment. All their questions will be answered. A lot of twists and turns for sure. Jager heads to Colorado to get some answers, but those answers lead to more questions. He also doesn’t count on running into someone like Allison. Allison is a strong character. She’s been through some tough stuff, but she still holds her head high and has a ton of guts. She’s perfect for Jager. This book definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Jager is trying to find more answers on who tried to blow up their team. Not just who but why and why are they killing their family members as well. Not only have they found clues and dug up more information on the person hurting them and trying to wipe out the entire team and all their family members, they found their future partner as well. Now Jager is out digging up clues When his questions alarm a clerk and friend of the person of interest that the clues are saying knows what is going on. She calls her friend Allison who is a police officer on the Vail PD. The more the team finds out the closer they get to finding out who did this and why. I will not give spoilers, this book like the rest in this series is great.

This is book 7 in the SEAL’s of Steel series and it features Jager and Allison. For being a full length novel this story moves pretty fast. The mystery and suspense part of the story line was sometimes confusing as some of their logic didn’t make sense but the romance part of the story line was FABULOUS! It was a subtle attraction that once it sparked, it burned like a wildfire. She describes him as broody, dark and somber but he’s also sexy as sin, dedicated and did I say sexy? I think it is so amazing to watch each of these SEAL’s fall for that one special woman.
After reading that epilogue I’m super excited for the next book!
It’s so sad to say goodbye to this series, I’m getting fond of these navy SEALS, but I’m glad that finally the mystery revealed. After six books full of actions and chasing answers, the climax is here, after many twists and surprises, finally the evil open his mask. So I’m a very happy girl with everything finally revealed.
The big finale and another page-turner mystery on the side and the sweetness between Jager and Allison, this one is one heck of a ride, my heart racing all the way through and with the whole gang with their love one together in one place with their amazing banter. I totally love this book.
If you’re looking for a suspense military romance, this series definitely it and a MUST-READ one.

What a conclusion to the mystery as to who is hunting the SEAL’s of Steel and their families…and what conclusion indeed. The best one yet and saving Jager’s story, the last one in the 7 SEAL brothers that survived the blast. He’s following up on another lead and ends up meeting Allison, a take no holds barred woman and a police officer, who ends up helping him find a missing person. Jager ends up helping her to deal with her Commander and helps her move on from the death of her husband who died years ago. As the race to find all the answers and put the puzzle together, they end up back at Badger’s place with all of them and their partners together at once…but will the mystery man strike now when they are altogether ?
An AMAZING conclusion that answers all the questions in the previous books and has me hoping for a new series to start to see all these men and women in action again. I LOVED Jager and especially Allison, a woman who takes charge and goes for what she wants. These two were so at ease with each other, the sparks flying between them and the steam…oh my. I LOVED the conclusion with the twist and I can’t wait for more..especially to see what Kat has up her sleeve for Badger.
*I voluntarily received an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
(4.5) A satisfying “conclusion” to the Seals of Steel. I will say my thought of who was behind it proved to be correct, but I wasn’t disappointed because I could not figure out “how” . Suffice to say this book shows us the few disappointing human beings and the above and beyond human beings. I love that they were all together again as Jager made his own trek in the series. Allison was kick ass, smart and just perfect with Jager. She did some kick ass and thought outside the box. Some of the outside of the box thinking our mighty seals should have thought of, but hey, story line. I can highly recommend this series to anyone who loves the deployed, the veteran, strong women and hot sex wrapped up with suspense and some mystery. Thank you Dale Mayer and Book sprout for the arc. All thoughts an opinions are my own and were unsolicited.
This fascinating tale shows Jager heading to Vail, Colorado to follow a lead on the mystery surrounding the accident his Seal team encountered with serious life altering injuries and one death. Jager is also seeking answers about his parents death which is looking less like an accident as he searches for the truth. He meets Allison, a police officer, who helps him with his search while he helps her with problems she faces. Together they go back joining with his team to try to outsmart the killer.
The characters are endearing with love, honor and loyalty abound. This story is fast paced and interesting as they work together to find the answers they need. There is one more book scheduled in this series and I’m already hoping for more!
This series is winding down and we find out who. I had an inkling for a while but didn’t know how or why.
A tale of vengeance from a very sick person and cohorts.
This is Jager’s story, his perfect match needed to be a strong woman and who’s more kick arse than a cop.
As the mystery is unraveled there is plenty of danger and heart stopping moments. I was glued to my kindle for this ride.
So Good!
This entire series has been top notch and Jager’s story measures right up there at the top! This story is full of action and excitement and the mystery continues in discovering who Mouse really was. Pivotal questions are being answered and more are surfacing with the remaining seven men from the eight man unit who have suffered immeasurably with life altering, debilitating injuries and also devastating personal losses.
This story just clicks. Each member has an important piece of the larger puzzle. Jager’s piece fits perfectly into place. I love Jager’s independence and determination to hunt down every lead including the details of his parents’ deaths. I also enjoy Allison’s bravery and diligence when it comes to dealing with her bully of a boss. These two characters are perfect for each other. The entire team and their significant others are a very close-knit family willing to do whatever it takes to keep each other safe.
I enjoy this storyline and it’s ability not only to keep me interested but to keep me captivated and eager for the next page. It’s consistency and intensity feeds your thirst for more while giving you tidbits of the secrets that are being uncovered with the answers these me are starving for.
I am anxious for the final book in this fantastic series, it will be epic! I loved it!
