I’ll pass on the cruise!
A very tense and knuckle-biting cruise for Abby. Pirates come on board the cruise Abby takes to unwind and relax, killing passengers. Little does she know that they are there for her! Abby has to hide for her own safety.
The new Mavericks teammates, Jax and Beau, come to her rescue, taking out the pirates one by one, only to find that she is giving herself up. Abby, a doctor, is forced to treat a dying child who is a patient to a fellow doctor who has terrorized Abby for years. She is terrified of coming face to face with this dangerous man but Jax is there to protect her.
This story is action-packed, full of intense situations and maneuvers to keep Abby hidden and safe while waiting to see and examine this sick child. Many people are involved to keep you on your toes guessing who is the culprit of trying to kill the child. The betrayal is epic as well as the resulting conclusion. This is a fantastic story and is keeping this new series as exciting and fresh!
I loved it!
Yup it’s my fav from this series. This one hit me with intense actions from the beginning and it never stop since then, there’s always danger in every turn of the page. Pirates vs black ops then there’s kidnapping, oh yeah this is the kind of book that keeps me on the edge of my seat. Then there’s those cute sweet flirty moments, I love the falling in love part. It’s a complete package for a suspense romance read, therefore I really love it.
A MUST-READ for a suspense romance lovers.
Jax and Abby are attracted to each other but their chemistry when they were together jumped right off the page and made me remember how it was when my husband and I first met. Great story with lots of action and adventure. Suspense simmers just under the surface and increasing as the story progressed. A bit of a surprise at the end.

Jax had just finished the mission with Griffin and landed in California when he got the call. It was Griffin on the other end, with Jax’s mission. Pirates have taken over a cruise ship and Jax with the help of Beau were to go in ahead of the military. The Pirates want someone specific, one Abigail Eleanor. She’s a doctor a supposed colleague needs to fix something he can’t.
Now Abby has been working her way through duct work to get closer to topside. Her fear that the pirates would sink the ship motivating her. Instead of getting there she runs into Jax.
Between Beau, himself and even Abby, they take back the ship before the other teams arrive. Now they have to figure out who the patient is and how to help without Abby being taken.
I love the snark in this one and Jax realizes rather quickly he’s falling for the lovely doctor.
Again there’s lots of action, suspense, some sizzle and even some jealousy in this page turning read.
I can’t wait for the next book in this series, I pretty much inhaled the first three.
(4.5) “What kind of person has two first names?” Says Jax to himself. Jax was Griffins back up, in Mavericks 2. Jax is the lead in Mavericks 3 and called out as soon as he was headed for home. He is to rescue Abigail Dalton “Abby” on a cruise ship that was captured by pirates. Abigail Dalton is a Dr whose research with stem cell has taken the world by storm. Jax and his back up, his teammate Beau have to board the ship alone, not knowing how many pirates or what the situation is. Abby had made the first time she appeared on the printed page, I wont tell you where she appears, but hats off to Dale, I didn’t expect that. Abby is smart, compassionate, witty, intelligent and looks like an 18yr 🙂 She has no idea what is going on and is surprised to find out the pirates want her. This book had so many layers, that I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I appreciate the arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own and were unsolicited.
3rd book in the series sees us all at sea as Jax, the names title for the book, has his mission to save a doctor from the clutches of a band of pirates. Abby is fighting for her bit is saved by Jax and Beau. A person from her past decides he wants her back and a wrong diagnosis could have dire consequences for a little boy fighting for his life.
This is book 3 in The Mavericks by Dale Mayer and it was so intriguing I devoured it. This is Jax’s mission and it is a very dangerous rescue. Pirates have boarded a cruise ship off the coast of Panama and are searching the entire ship for one person. Definitely action packed. Can Jax save the beautiful doctor or will pirates find her first.
The third book in the new series The Mavericks hits the ground running from page one and does not stop till the last page is turned. Even at that point you still want more of the characters. The main characters interaction keeps you engrossed in the story line and they have you rooting for them from the start. The way the stories in this series keep you turning the pages continues with the story of Jax. The black-ops team member assigned to be in charge of the current op are pretty much on their own except for a little help from their “friends”. Their friends are other black-ops members who are also part of this newly formed group. Usually only one other member is there in person, the other assistance is through computer intelligence that is fed to those in charge of the current op. This way of doing things seems to work as the last two ops have been successful and Jax is hoping his op will have a positive outcome too. These books are so addicting and I cannot wait to read the next in the series as I loved this book as much as i did the last two in the series! If you love action, suspense and some romance, you will love this book!

This is book 3 of a great new series from Dale Mayer and I really like how each previous book segues nicely into the next book. I’m seriously hooked on this series and now the wait for book 4. Hopefully, it’s not a long wait
This was another great entry in this series. The story is intense, exciting and action-packed. Abby and Jax are wonderful characters that make a powerhouse couple of brains and brawn. The entertaining story line with capture your attention and hold it with a compelling and complex blend of suspense, romance, drama and danger.
This series just keeps getting better. This book has it all. A strong heroine who is working to rescue herself and an alpha hero who will do anything to protect her.

Jax was almost home when he got a call from his friend about another ‘Mavericks” mission and this time he would lead. He was still tired from the last job which was his first encounter with this group until he heard pirates had taken over a cruise ship. He quickly asked who was going to help and was told it would be Beau (a big man who was a good sharpshooter) and military to follow. They wanted the ship to be boarded quietly at first.
Upon boarding Jax found the pirates were looking for a female doctor to take to Dubai to help a young patient who was not responding to treatment.
Abigail or Abby, as she was called, didn’t know at first the pirates were looking for her but when she found out she was surprised as her expertise was in stem cells so it didn’t make sense. When she discovered the pirates would harm people if she stayed hidden or escaped, she refused rescue and came forward.
The adventure on the ship was a story of it’s own but only the beginning in this case. It went on as Jax and Abby tried to help the sick child, discover why he was not responding to treatment and at the same time trying to solve the puzzle as to who was behind this treachery of lies and deceit. It was convoluted at best and maybe even including Abby’s past.
Definitely a page turner with very interesting characters that kept me guessing.
The epilogue reveals a bit more about Beau and a trip to Alaska that sounds very exciting! Once more, very well done Dale Mayer!
I really enjoyed reading JAX .
Jax having just returned from a mission as backup for Griffin for the Mavericks .
There’s no rest for the weary . The call comes he is needed for a rescue mission . Pirates have taken over a cruise ship to capture a Dr . Abigail Eleanor . Abigail is hiding from the highjackers Jax and Abigail run into each other with Beau as back up . The mission is dangerous and difficult . There is more at play then they realize . Soon they head to England and the plot thickens. This is a well written, intense and intriguing . It’s action packed and fantastic. I highly recommend taking the time to read.

Ex-SEAL Jax Darrium had helped Griffin in the second book in this series and now he gets his own mission with Griffin on communications and another ex-SEAL called Beau. This time he needs to travel to Florida and rescue Dr Abigail Dalton from a cruise ship which has been taken over by pirates with the intention to capture her as she is a specialist in cell stem treatment of cancer and take her to Dubai to treat the son of a wealthy Saudi Arabian who is believed to have stomach cancer (according to his American doctor). Using scuba gear they swim to the ship and board so they can start taking out any of the pirates they fin as well as search for Abby. When they find her it turns out that the American doctor is a stalker of Abby and there is doubt n her mind over the diagnosis and believes it is his way to capturing her. When Abby discovers the need to cure a child she insists of treating him and so a neutral location of London is chosen with the hopes that Jax, Beau and MI6 can all work together to keep her safe. Can she cure the child and be kept safe or will she fall into the hands of her stalker?
This was a great story pitting the wits of the medical profession, a sassy and determined woman and a determined black-ops team against a skilled psychopathic conman. I loved the butting of heads that was constantly in place between Abby and Jax as well as his determination to compromise whilst keeping her safe. A very convoluted story with lots of drama as it unfolded. A great and addictive read that I couldn’t put down. Contains some sexual content at the end of the story.
Jax is sent by the Mavericks to rescue a doctor named Abby who’d cruise ship has been hijacked by pirates. Abby has real grit, determination and smarts packed into her petite frame and she immediately rocks Jax’s world. She puts the lives of others above her own and this story has a lot twists and shows the difference in culture. I really like how the lead from the previous story is the guy doing all the computer work for the next guy and the backup guy is the next one to be the lead. It just keeps the dynamics flowing. I volunteered to read this book via Booksprout.
Action packed suspense from the start, no resting or getting to comfortable along the way. Full of twists and turns and the unexpected, this kept me on edge but turning the pages completely engaged in what was happening in the plot. I love how the main characters gel quite fast but still.take time before acting on the chemistry. Beau is like a gentle giant with a deadly aim if it’s needed, he is next up and can’t wait. The culture that is a part of this scares me, I just don’t like to think of life meaning so little or women treated like breeding animals, little respect or love being shown or girls meaning so little in the hierarchy of family, yet without the girls growing into women and then mothers there would be no sons at all. This series is exciting and a bit different and I’m loving it.
Kept me on the edge of my seat….Barely off his previous mission with Griffin, Jax will lead a mission to save famous doctor Abby Dalton with Griffin as his cyber contact for resources. Abby’s cruise ship has been overrun with pirates looking for her. Abby stays hidden until Jax discovers her. When she realizes what the pirates are doing and why they are looking for her, Abby puts a twist in Jax’s plan to rescue her. When she ends up in England, she will have to deal with a nightmare from her past. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. The books in this series keeping on getting better and they can all be enjoyed as a standalone as well. I liked how Abby’s dedication as a doctor and as a strong independent woman had Jax having to adjust his plans to keep her safe. This is another very suspenseful book. There is also a realistic romance that slowly builds in the story. This book has twists that kept me on the edge of my seat at times. I love this book and the series.
Mavericks Series Book 3, Jax
Now that you’ve devoured Books 1 and 2 of The Mavericks series, you are familiar with their standard operating procedure and my tendency not to give away the plot. This is Jax’s mission to lead, and it’s a very challenging rescue with Beau as his second. Pirates have boarded a cruise ship off the coast of Panama and are searching the entire vessel for one specific passenger. Travel by a combination of civilian and military planes, then SEAL delivery vehicles, finally get Jax and Beau close enough to execute their plan to slip onto the ship and stay hidden as they take out the pirates one by one. The fact that Beau is a rather large man, even by SEAL standards, keeping to that part of the process may take some doing. I absolutely love how creative and persistent these two-man teams have to be to get these jobs done. Oh, and don’t think that Jax’s is the last story. Once you’re finished with these three books, I am sure that you too will anxiously await the release of Beau’s story in Book 4 in much the same way that most people anticipate sweets on Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, and Christmas.

Jax has to rescue Abby from a cruise ship. Imagine the work involved in searching something so big.
Abby can’t in good conscience leave and have passengers tortured because of her, so the mission expands in a real hurry.
A child’s life is at stake, and that doesn’t sit well with Abby. She’ll do what she can for the child, but on her turf.. Not in Dubai, where the chance of her leaving alive is slim.
What a fantastic book. Start to finish you’ll be on the edge of your seat.

Abby is a doctor on her first cruise when pirates overtake the ship searching for her. She has done stem cell research which helps cure cancer in some patients. An old enemy who once abused her is behind the ship being overtaken as he wants her to come to Dubai and help treat the small boy he is treating but all he really wants is to take her captive. Jax is new to the Mavericks and he is sent to sneak on the ship and get her off. His partner is Beau and between the two of them they kill over 20 pirates and rescue Abby. But she agrees to meet in England and try to help the boy so Jax and Beau go with her as protection. The doctor then tries to kidnap Abby again and kill those guarding her. This is the 3rd book of the Maverick series and is my favorite so far. Lots of action and the story moves along at a fast pace.
