Minx Montgomery’s only light in a terrible childhood was her neighbor and best friend, Mouse. When he left Texas at the age of seventeen, she never heard from him again, though she’s never forgotten him either. She moved in with her uncle, went to college and became a counselor. Her supervisor at the clinic sexually harassed her. Reporting him backfired. Demoted, she’s transferred to another … branch in the city–to the same district she’d finally managed to escape.
Laszlo Jensen, a former SEAL, has spent the last two years recovering from the damage done when his squad’s truck drove over an antitank landmine. Six other team-mates were also badly hurt, the seventh–Mouse–dead, in what their team leader Badger Horley realized later had to be a trap set to take them out. He and his team-mate Geir are trying to learn more about Mouse’s history. Was the whole squad targeted with that landmine, or just their youngest, newest member? The truth is more disturbing and senseless than they’d anticipated. Who was Mouse really?
Minx may be the only person who knew the boy that later became a dangerous, hunted man…

Great series, it’s coming together like a jigsaw puzzle. So many twists and turns, I’ve no idea how it will work out in the end. While Laszlo found the woman for him the mystery of Mouse continues, who was he really? Was the explosion all about him or the team? Because Mouse died is someone getting revenge on the rest…the plot thickens. You’ll need to go back to book #1 and enjoy this series. I’m looking forward to the next one.
I jut loved how this wasn’t just about finding out about Mouses early years but also about Minx and the attacks on her which gives Laszlo the chance to get to know her more. There is plenty to learn about Mouse and Minx but no one really wants to say anything and Laszlo, Geir and Minx need to work out how to get the information they need and this isn’t always easy and there is plenty of danger to be had also!
Love the story line
One of my favorite things about the books in this series is the journey each of these men have navigated to be where they are now. Each one has survived multiple injuries that let’s just say they are all lucky to be alive.
Laszlo is no different and now he and Geir have traveled to Texas to find the truth of Mouse’s past. They have realized that they really know nothing about him, every story they remember is a different tale. Everything they’ve discovered is pointing to Mouse being the catalyst to their accident and the ‘accidents’ surrounding the people they care about.
Minx watched them carefully as they looked around the neighborhood and was cautious when they approached, gleaning as much information about them as they were getting out of her.
Many revelations as they speak to Minx. She also has some insights that could open things up more.
There is also Laszlo’s attraction to her and her problems become theirs as they realize she’s in danger too.
I love the slow build, the suspense as this puzzle unravels, the way these guys are finding the right person and the sizzle when it all comes together!
Laszlo by Dale Mayer
SEALs of Steel Series Book Five
Laszlo Jensen’s turn to take the lead on the search for who is behind the accident their SEALs unit was involved in two years ago. Also, who is killing—or in his father’s case—attempting to murder their friends and family. So off to Texas he goes with another team member, Geir. Time to find out more of about Mouse. The youngest member of their team who died in the accident.
Minx Montgomery was Mouse’s best friend. He was her protector in the world they grew up in. Only, these men who have come to find out about him are finding out more than she knew. It’s starting to seem confusing that the boy she knew, is the same man they had known.
These books contain romances that are completed in each story…but the mystery of who is behind the murders continues.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This was a fast paced and very compelling story (just like all of her other novels.) This one sure didn’t disappoint. With each clue and search, the guys of the SEAL team hit with an anti-tank mine get closer to answers as to the incident that killed one of their own and severely injured the rest of them.
It is through their quest for answers that each of them find their true love in the most unlikely of places. This one is no different. Minx was a close childhood friend of Mouse’s. Certain questions have been answered but most questions have arisen. Minx is faced with a stalker and was harassed on the job. While looking for clues into Mouse’s background, Laszlo and Geir help Minx with her issues.
Geir is the next installment of the series and I CAN’T WAIT!!!! Each story just gets better and better. I just love how the story continues the plot of the series while containing a sub-plot. Also the stories are fast paced that keeps the reader glued to their e-reader.
I so highly recommend this to anyone who loves military romance.
Really enjoyed this next book in the series…learning more about Mouse and his childhood friend. Every book makes the mystery that much better and I am happy laszlo found his HEA! Great action and romance as usual!

I really loved this book. The characters interaction throughout the book make you want to keep reading so you find out what happens at the end. The characters are lovable and having characters come into the book from other books in the series keeps you caught up on the story-line. You could start reading this book without reading the others in the series, but believe me, all the other books are well worth reading! If you are into action, suspense, a bit of love and hot military men, you will love love love this book! I honestly couldn’t put it down until I read the last page and it had me wanting more!

The thrilling SEALs of Steel series continues with Laszlo and Geir going to Dallas to search for anything in Mouse’s past that might help to avenge his death that occurred when their eight-man team hit a landmine. They meet Minx, his childhood best friend, and learn she is in imminent danger. I love the strong characters, action, adventure, mystery and suspense and couldn’t put the book down or turn the pages fast enough to see what would happen. Ms. Mayer has given us another winner and I look forward to reading Geir’s story next. This is my voluntary and honest review of an advance review copy of this book that I received from Booksprout.
This is exciting that we are getting closer to the answers of why the team had their “accident” and who is behind it. This story revolves around Laszlo and Geir going to Texas to see if they can learn more background about Mouse. Seems he was a good story teller and none of the team members knew him very well. While in Texas, they get to know Minx, a childhood friend of Mouse’s. Unfortunately, Minx is dealing with sexual harassment by her boss and things escalate to the point where Laszlo and Geir get involved. I enjoyed the characters Agnes and Bart – interesting couple running a hotel and diner, and with may connections.
Every book in this series leads to the mystery around the humvee explosion. This book is about Lazlo, and leads to Mouse’s childhood home. There he meets Minx, who was best friends with Mouse when they were children.
Minx is having problems of her own dealing with a sexual harrassment case against her boss, then Lazlo and Geir show up looking for more information about Mouse.
Lazlo and Geir being the honourable men they are, end up helping Minx deal with the ex-boss issue, and continue working towards finding out what happened with the humvee explosion.
Strong alpha males, and a pretty tough female character.. add in mystery, danger, intrigue, and you have a winning read!
Another fantastic book by Dale Mayer.

Wow. I have been waiting for Laszlo’s story for a while and what can I say but it was fantastic. This is book 5 and the suspense is hitting up. We meet Minx who was a childhood friend of Mouse the one person killed in a land mine explosion. Minx’s job was downgraded after she complained about her manager for the sexual harassment she suffered. As Laszlo and Geir turn up in her town, a shadow is after her as her life is put in danger. She faces the man and learns some things about mouse she didn’t know about and neither did the men. Will Laszlo and Geir keep her safe? Will they get the main man who wants her dead? As always I loved this story of the seals of steel. The suspense is killing me as we see each man fall in love but get closer to finding out why they had the accident. I can’t wait to read Geir’s story.
Laszlo is a member of a Seal team who was injured by the explosion of a landmine. One member was killed and the rest seriously injured taking months to years to recover. During this time the team discovered this was not a random explosion and now some of their family members and friends have been targeted as well. The team is researching clues as they materialize and this story is about Laszlo looking into the life of Mouse who is the team member they lost that day.
Laszlo goes to Mouse’s old neighborhood and finds Minx who was a childhood friend of Mouse until he left the neighborhood. This story is about the tragic childhood both Minx and Mouse endured and new facts such as Mouse apparently feared and hated water which adds to the mystery. Minx has her own mystery going as someone is following her and tried to attack her.
All in all a great read as the story continues to unfold. I really have fallen in love with these characters who are so well done. Can’t wait for the next book!

Oh yes, I love this military suspense romance. This book has the perfect dosage of romance and suspense and it also has more depth than the previous books. Love the intensity of everything happened here, especially those emotional moments and all the tensions surrounding all the mystery, also let’s not forget the strong characters here, Lazlo and Minx surely are one of my favorite couples from this series.
But the most important thing and the one that got me really excited and can’t put this book down is the “Mouse Mystery” that happening through out this series begins to unveil, we’re getting really close to find all the answers, and I get the feelings that it’s going to be full of surprises and twists. This book left me excited and got me dying to read the next book.
If you love military suspense romance read, this series is definitely a MUST-READ.
*I voluntarily received a review copy of this book
Fabulous!
Laszlo is a true hero! He and Geir are in the right place at the right time to help Minx.
Minx is a tough young woman who has earned her Ph.D. in the school of life’s hard knocks for sure. Unfortunately, this is a story that is a fact of real life for some children. Mouse endured a similar lifestyle as Minx and needed help just as much but was unable to benefit from any.
The dangerous streets teach the innocent life’s dangers, sometimes at a very young age. As with Minx, she was only six or so years old, just a baby, really. It’s sad to think a mother is more worried about her next drug fix that she is so unconcerned for her child that Minx had to hide to stay safe and learned how to use a knife as protection at such an early age.
Laszlo is different from his SEAL brothers. He is quiet, unassuming and laid back. He still is as deadly and tough as the rest, just more subdued. I like that. I enjoyed this latest story about the SEALS of Steel. It has events that are true to life and gets the reader very involved quickly. I also like that Geir is there to offer his help and expertise.
This story is fast paced and quite exciting. It has multiple twists and turns which makes you think and try to figure out the villain throughout the entire story. It feels right that Laszlo and Minx take their time coming together with respect to Minx’s upbringing, but that doesn’t diminish the hotness!
Excellent job! I loved it!
More pieces are coming together as the SEALs of Steel continue to investigate what happened when they ran over a landline, killing 1 and severely injuring the other 7 on the team. This next book delves into Mouse’s life, the one who died and go to where he grew up. Laszlo and Geir are tasked with that and when they go find his childhood home they run into Minx, a woman who was best friends with Mouse till he left and she never saw him again. What the two discover about Mouse, is tragic and horrible, and something they never knew. While gathering information they find out that Minx needs their expertise of protection and somehow it all entwines into their investigation.
Another great instalment in this series with steam, some suspense and Cupid striking again. As more information is found out it seems more questions are popping up which intensifies the mystery as to what happened…love it. I also enjoyed, once again with this author, the no drama between Laszlo and Minx, no misunderstandings, no jealousies, and the no other women or men coming between them….love it !! I also really liked the vulnerability with Laszlo near the end and what Minx does to ease his mind. I can’t wait to find out how this author wraps it all up and to what actually happened on that fateful day.
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
What a mysterious and suspenseful plot line that is quickly unraveling.
With little to go on in compiling the history that was their dead teammate’s life… it will take lots of questions, a journey back to a possible lead and the meeting of a young woman who is suspicious at best to unwind the intricacies that is Mouse’s life.
It’s thoughtful, it’s emotional, and it’s leading to the very heart of a complex situation that has destroyed so many lives. It’s dramatic with twisted turns, which see a seemingly unrelated personal circumstance for Minx, collide with a current, more personal investigation for the men that are Seals of Steel. It will eventually come full circle, with even more questions that will test Laszlo and Minx, with the help of Laszlo’s teammate, Geir, in more ways than they can ever imagine.
Wonderful, intelligent, caring and compassionate characters that are reeling from horrific injuries, learning to deal with life and limitations as it now is yet never giving up and learning to adapt through any hardship that comes their way. Determined to find answers and to right the wrongs perpetrated. The setting depicted breaks your heart, the background of a life lost will have you spinning. This story had such heartbreaking moments, and how one deals with life when its treated you with nothing but torture and chaos. How each copes is leading to an overall conclusion…
Oh WOW!! this story continues to unfold more layers of suspense and mystery. Our mystery is evolving and someone or maybe someones’ are doing their level best to eliminate and get rid of any connection to the landmine that forever changed and shaped the men of Seals of Steel. Are the people we thought we knew, those we work closely with, our friends, our protectors… really who they are? Only time will tell
Dale continues this captivating series with yet another page-turning drama. Intrigue, twists and unexpected turns – with LASZLO. I highly recommend not only reading LASZLO, if you haven’t already begun this series, go back to the beginning and start reading SEALS OF STEEL. It’s for those that love military based heroes and the women that capture their attention, protect those they care and love and a mystery that you really want to solve.
Laszlo’s book was everything I hoped for and more! Laszlo and his team are one step closer to finding out the information on Mouse. During the investigation Laszlo finds Minx. Minx is a street smart woman who was also child hood best friends with Mouse. Soon Minx is targeted and Laszlo offers protection. While learning more about his friend Laszlo and Minx discover a connection between them. How far will this connection go and will there be a happy ending.
This is a enjoyable read and a solid addition to this series. Minx and Laszlo’s story offers readers plenty of emotional intensity, drama, suspense and mystery in a well written storyline. This book easily holds your attention as the story unfolds.
The SEAL team is looking for answers to their vehicle hitting a landmine years ago. This book is about Laszlo and his part of the search for the truth. During his search he comes across Minx who has her own mystery to solve. Loving this series.
