After helping out Vince, Johan hadn’t planned on staying at Levi and Ice’s compound for long. However, Johan realizes how much plans can change when Galen comes over from Africa to join Johan, and the two are sent into town on a job that’s close and up-front personal to another member of Legendary Security.Joyce, otherwise called Joy, sought a career position but accepted something out of her … her normal skill set in order to pay the rent. But when her inventory lists show missing drugs, she knows something ugly is going on. With no one at the company willing to listen, she turns to her old friend Kai for advice.
Johan wasn’t the answer Joy was looking for, but, when she finds out the previous employee to hold her position is in the morgue, she’s damn happy to have him.
Her job might be safe … but her life? Well, that’s on the line …

Johan was not expecting love when he was transferred from Bullock’s company to spend 2 weeks with Levi’s company. That all changed when he is sent with fellow transfer Galen to investigate the claims of Kai’s friend of wrongdoings in her company. Joy is brave, beautiful, smart and determined to find the truth behind the conspiracy. She and Johan hit it off from the bat while following a complicated trail from the basement of the company all the way to the top. I have been in love with this series ever since I read Levi’s story and somehow they keep getting better and better.

This is a great addition to this series. I love the closeness of everyone on the team and even though Johan and Galen are new they fit right in. This mission is a little different than what they are used to but with Joy’s help and insight, they are determined to figure out whose behind the drug theft and the murders.
If you love action and suspense, you’ll love this book.
These stories never get old. I’ve enjoyed reading everyone, including this one. There are always twists and turns with romance and suspense. I loved “catching up” with Kai and Tyson too. Dale Mayer is one of my must-read authors.
Dale Mayer is my one click author and Johan’s Joy is such an outstanding read. Packed full of action, love , and friendship this is a book all will enjoy. Simply amazing.
Fantastic!
Another exciting Heroes for Hire story! Normally stationed in Africa, Johan and Galen are sent to the US to work and to see how the Americans handle cases. Ice puts them on a local case conveniently not far from Legendary Security. They are to help Joy search the computer system for missing drug inventory against the physical inventory in the building. This is a new job for Joy and she doesn’t feel as though she is making any friends and is being watched.
Johan and Galen end up finding more than just missing drug inventory and much more going on than pharmaceuticals. Mystery and danger surround Joy as she tries to concentrate on doing her job. If it weren’t for Johan and Galen working in the next room, she would be a nervous wreck!
Each day is intense and her co-workers are anything but friendly. She is told to keep her head down and do her job, don’t make trouble, but she kind of already made trouble by reporting the error in the drug inventory. The tension elevates dramatically when her apartment is ransacked!
I love the twists and turns along with the exciting anticipation of what is going to be found next. Johan and Galen take some pretty dangerous risks to find out what is going on and to protect Joy from whoever is threatening to kill her.
Fast-paced and full of all the good stuff!! I loved it!
When Kai gets a call from her friend Joy about a missing case of Ketamine, she didn’t hesitate to bring it to the attention of Ice and Levi.
Ice sets things in motion for an investigation since she knows a member of the company’s board.
For this she sends Johan and Galen, they’re working with them on a sort of exchange program with Bullard.
Joy is very surprised when she realizes the men with her boss are from Ice as a result of her call to Kai. But even before they really get started they have disturbing news regarding the person who previously held her job. After IT gets them set up on the company network, they start the process of tracking Joy and her boss with some added tweeks to be sure no one tracks them.
As they finish the inital stuff Johan is a little surprised as Galen asks if he’s interested in Joy. While his initial reaction is a no, Galen definitely read between the lines to see otherwise.
When bodies start piling up, so does the danger to Joy. The attraction is another thing altogether, it begins with a kiss that neither Joy or Johan see coming and builds slowly from there.
Fast-paced with plenty of intrigue, action and simmer to sizzle romance.
When new inventory clerk Joy reports missing drugs to her employer, his reaction concerns her. Her call for advice to her best friend elicits Johan and Galen showing up to investigate. Joy also feels like someone is watching her. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is a suspenseful book which kept me guessing until the end. I liked how the theft was just the tip of what was happening at the company. The developing attraction and romance between Joy and Johan was believable. I like how Joy dealt was able to deal with everything. I liked how it took a while for Johan to work through the mystery. This is a terrific read.
Joy has only been working for Westgroup for a short period of time when she notices that a case of Ketamine has gone missing. When the management doesn’t seem too concerned, she tells her friend Kai about it. This leads to Legendary Security sending Johan and Galen to investigate. While the investigation is going on, Joy and Johan find there is a definite attraction between them that just grows the more they spend time together.
I loved how Kai and Tyson were a part of this story as well as Joy and Johan finding their love. The mystery of what was going on at the company sure turned out to be more complex than what it seemed at first and had several twists to it.
Another action packed story in the Heroes for Hire series. Johan and Joy have chemistry from the beginning. The story itself keeps you interested to the very end.

I always wondered how an author is able to produce book after book of good reading. Dale is no exception with all of the different characters and sometimes complex storyline. In this book we are introduced more to Johan and Galen, who are Bullard’s men. Coming to the compound was always going to be hard but exciting for these men and there is no surprise when a case has landed in their laps for medicine that’s missing. Boy was this a great book from start to finish with everything you expect from Dale Mayer. Can’t wait for more books though.
Johan answers a request for help accompanied by Galen, both are members of Legendary Security in Africa and looking for a change. They are trying the office in the United States.. They have been sent to assist Joyce, rather known as Joy. She has been unable to find work in her current field and has taken a temporary job to make ends meet. While doing this new job of only 6 weeks, she has found the possibility of missing drugs and no one seems to share her concern. She confides in a friend at Legendary Security which starts the ball rolling. They contact a member of the board of the company where Joy works and with his permission they send two members of their team to investigate. Johan and Galen are presented under the guise of men checking the inventory data base for some new (made up) compliance issue coming soon. The only problem is these guys look more like body guards, bouncers or thugs than pencil pushers.
This story quickly escalates when a possible murder is discovered followed by threats, real death and the realization there is another problem present for this escalating danger in addition to the missing drugs
I really enjoyed this story, the plot, the characters and growing relationship between Johan and Joy. “Hero’s for hire” is a great series and this is a delightful addition to it!
The epilogue includes a hint about Galen’s next adventure to Germany which also sounds like a story I don’t want to miss.
Another great addition to the series. This time Joy, a clerk at a company and friend of Kai, the company is missing ketamine. Johan and Galen are assigned to solve the mystery of who is responsible. The more they investigate the worse things get. Bodies are mounting up and suspicious characters are everywhere. Danger is getting closer.
As Johan contemplates whether to return to Bullard’s group or stay longer at Legendary Security to see what it’s like working under Levi and Ice, the opportunity presents itself for an assignment in which Johan and Galen will help Kai’s friend Joyce (a/k/a Joy) with a problem she’s having at her new job. Less than a year into the job that includes monitoring inventory for a medical research center that performs experimental surgeries on animals in its research, Joy has found a large discrepancy among the ordering, receiving, and inventorying of a fairly large amount of the drug ketamine that is popular for use in animals and abused by humans as well. Contrary to what she would consider normal, her supervisor did not seem at all interested in investigating the missing drug. The women who share Joy’s small office space are also uninterested in what Joy, or each other for that matter, are doing. SO, Joy shared her concerns with her good friend Kai, who shared them with the group at Legendary Security. When Johan and Galen arrive at Westgroup and are assigned the office near Joy’s, the trio set to working their way up the corporate org chart to find out the who, what, and why of the shoddy handling of shipping and receiving at Westgroup. I loved the way they worked as a team from the get-go, supporting and sharing ideas with each other, having each other’s back. Dale Mayer’s portrayal of honest, strong, and smart men and women is a joyous reading experience for me.

A great crossover, so to speak. Two of Bullards men are at the compound. Ice is pregnant (so excited) and she sends Johan and Galen to investigate some missing drugs at a research facility for Kai’s friend,Joy. It was a switch watching Johan and Galen dealing with the IT security as opposed to knocking heads ( though they get to do that too) This had intrigue, suspense, romance and a couple great twists, that I didn’t see coming. Thank you for the opportunity to read this arc. I freely volunteer my thought and opinions.
This is another highly enjoyable entry in this always exciting and engaging series. Johan and Joy’s book had no trouble holding my interest with its well crafted blend of romance, suspense, mystery, drama, danger and romance. All together I thought that this was a very good read. I am choosing to post a truthful review.
Joy tells her friend Kai that she has found discrepancies in the inventory of drugs at the company she is working at. Kai tells Ice and Levi and they assign Johan and Galen to investigate. When Joy goes to see her boss she finds that he has been murdered and then her apartment is ransacked. Now Johan has to protect Joy from an unknown threat.
Before the investigation finishes the body count goes up and Joy and Johan become romantically involved.

Johan is member of Bollard’s African team of specialists. In an exchange he is now working with Levi and the Heroes for Hire. A friend reaches out to Levi’s team over missing potentially deadly medications. As they dig for answers more and more questions appear. Complex? Yes. Strong characters? Yes!! This is another page turner from Dale Mayer.

After Galen comes over from Africa to join Johan at Levi and Ice’s compound in the US where they are sent on a job. Joy was looking for a career position but to pay the bills she took a job in order to pay the rent looking after the inventory in a company. But when it shows missing drugs on the inventory
and no one in the company is willing to do anything about it she turns to her old friend Kai for advice. Johan might no be the answer she was expecting but when she finds out that the previous employee to hold the same position as her is in the morgue, she is very happy to have him. After all her job might seem safe but her life it appears is not – can Johan keep Joy alive and get to the bottom of what is happening in that company?
This was an enjoyable story that was wrapped into a mystery story (which kept you guessing right until the end of the book as to who was really stealing the drugs. Full of surprises and quite addictive in places, this was a well-written book that was easy to understand.
This story was very well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat with anticipation of what is coming. Johan and Joy had great chemistry together and the story line flows well. Several twists that you don’t see coming!
