Vanessa, tied up and blindfolded, has no idea why she’d been kidnapped. She does her best to obey her captor, even as she plots her escape. Her hope is that she’s been reported missing and that the cops are looking for her. … They are, but so is someone else…
Keeping Vanessa safe at his side, Miles is taxed to the limit to unravel and to capture a serial killer who’s lain undetected for decades, disguised as a serial kidnapper…

I love the Mavericks, a covert black ops team that steps up and gets the job done but may break all the rules and “Miles” is a perfect addition to this must-read series with complex characters and lots of action, suspense, a serial kidnapper, mystery, sizzling romance and so much more. I enjoyed the attraction and undeniable chemistry between Miles and Vanessa. I knew as soon as I started reading that I would not be able to put the book down until I read the last word. This is the perfect “escape” read from everyday stress for anyone who enjoys well-crafted military romance. I received an advance reader copy of this book from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review.
This is book 7 in The Mavericks series and it features Miles and Vanessa. I love how quickly the Mavericks get assistance, answers and even food. She’s a model and his dream woman. How will she compare in real life to his fantasy? They have genuine affection for each other that grows slowly. I don’t feel a hot and heavy romance between them but I haven’t felt that in any of the books in the series. The intimacy was too far-fetched for all that they had been through and would have been better if implied instead of actually described. I enjoy the action, mystery and suspense in the story. The characters, especially the Mavericks, are fantastic!

This was a quick read. I did enjoy it but it really felt a little off to me. Within 24 hour period a great deal of action, suspense, mystery and love took place and almost the solving of the crime. It just felt rushed to me. The characters were well-written and the plot moved quickly (again most of the book took place in a 24 hour period.) The one sexy scene raised a question to me. It didn’t seem like there was any protection used and that bothered me for two people that really had just met a very short time ago. I must be getting old.
The female protagonist was easy to read. There have been times when they tend to get on my nerves but Vanessa was well written. It was Vanessa’s sister, Ruby that got a little short when Miles questioned her that bothered me here.
I enjoyed the dual POV format. There was some interest between the two main protagonists while going through the events of stories to make it believable. The ending had a twist that I didn’t see coming at all.
There is one sexy scene that was short and that being said I cannot recommend this to anyone under the age of 18.
What do you do when your mission is to rescue your dream girl? You put your all into it, of course. Miles was happy to return to London and was eager to find Vanessa. Once she is found, they still have to figure out who is after her and why. Lots of suspense and unexpected twists and turns.
Action packed story filled with suspense and romance. Miles, the newest Mavericks gets a call and heads out to England, his home.
A serial killer has kidnapped Vanessa and Miles must save her and end the killers reign of terror. A great story that keeps you turning the pages.
As always I love the characters and how they work together. Another great entry in this series.

Miles and Vanessa delivers the action, mystery and romance. I love how their story brings the action and holds your attention. Once you start the story, you will not want to put it down. The surprise ending capped it off. As always, the series keeps me wanting the next one. Magnificent addition to the Mavericks.

Miles by Dale Mayer
Mavericks Series Book Seven
Miles Radford is heading back to his home country, England. It’s his turn to head up his own op for the Mavericks. A model has been kidnapped, and it goes much deeper than just her. They have a serial kidnapper on their hands, and he’s been at it way too long. Time to stop him for good.
Vanessa Redburn finds herself tied up, blindfolded, and well…kidnapped. From the bits and pieces she’s getting from her abductor…it’s not looking like a good ending for her. All she can do is hope that help is on the way.
The Mavericks are a secret US government ops team. Each man runs an op with the help of at least one other man. They can choose if they go on a mission or not…and if they want to continue. Good series. It does get into some ugly scenarios that sadly are happening in real life. Each of the men are finding more than a satisfaction with a job well done. They each seem to find their soulmate on the mission as well.

Okay Dale, I just lost a whole night of sleep because of you!! But it was so so worth it and more!! Miles is a raging thunderstorm of emotions with hair-raising suspense, edge-of-your-seat action and fiery, passionate romance that keeps you turning pages until the happy forever. Character interaction is superb and vivid scene descriptions are astounding. Dale Mayer has penned strong, dynamic characters and a storyline and plot that are gripping, fast-paced and heartfelt. I was thoroughly engrossed in this book from start to finish and can’t wait to see who’s next to surrender to temptation and risk their heart, and their life, on the road to happiness. You definitely need this book in your library and on your TBR list too. Dale Mayer has outdone yourself with this phenomenal book. It’s a one of a kind read that you will absolutely love!! So clear your schedule because once you start reading, you won’t be able to put it down.
Well the Maverick’s are going strong! This was a little different than the previous stories, but excellent! Mile’s just back from a case is sent to London. His mission is to find a missing Model, one who he has drooled over, for years. Vanessa not your average gal, tied up, blind folded, earplugs and drugged, knows she has to escape. Even though she knows there has to be someone looking for her. But she can’t wait! There is a lot of mystery to this story! Who is the serial killer, wily and smart. Can they stop him, before he kills again? A must read story for sure!
Miles is heading home to London for his mission. He’s told a woman has been kidnapped and she might be one of many over decades that have been overlooked.
The thing is, he knows her. Vanessa.
Vanessa was just going about her day when she was kidnapped. Getting away and staying safe and unraveling the decades long mystery will push her limits. Then, add Miles in, and her heart is in trouble too.
Miles is not ready to give up the adrenal rush from going on ops, but he feels it is time to get out of the SEAL teams. After ending his career with the SEALs, Miles joins a black ops team referred to as the Mavericks. When Vanessa is kidnapped, Miles get called to help Nico who was investigating a serial kidnapper and killer. Miles thinks that this is a cop matter and not a Mavericks op. Nico convinces Miles to lead the op, since Nico needs fresh eyes and knows Miles has the investigation skills that are needed to find the killer. While Vanessa was able to free herself from the kidnapper, the game of cat and mouse to find the kidnapper begins. Using technology and following leads Miles is able to find the killer and his partner. I liked reading this book because it was different. Anyone who has read a Dale Mayer book will love it too.

Another great by this author and the another great instalment in the Mavericks series with Miles heading back to the U.K. to find a kidnapped model Victoria, a model who Miles has had a crush on. Victoria is determined to escape her kidnapper and plays it smart, outwitting the kidnapper. Miles now has the task of keeping her safe and trying to find a kidnapper who has evaded his presence and capture for many years before he gets to Victoria again.
A great read with great characters and suspense that keeps you flipping the pages. Victoria is smart, determined and down to earth and Miles is perfect for her. I love the little to no drama between them, the twists and turns and surprises throughout the read.
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
A fast-paced suspense romance read, not my favorite but I love it nonetheless, and that’s because of Miles, love his alpha personality, his protectiveness, his sweetness and his gentleness, bottom line is I love Miles.
As for the story, I love the suspense, the kidnapping it’s pretty terrifying, love how the author got me always expecting something bad will happen in the next page, even though I felt it was a bit rushed at the end, the bad guy is doing it for seventeen years, to end just like that is kinda left me unsatisfied, I still enjoying it nonetheless especially those actions and suspense.
If you’re looking for a fast-paced suspense read, this is the book for you
Miles has been sent back home to England to find and rescue Vanessa,a model, who has gone missing. Fortunately she gets away on her own but is injured. Along with his partner Nico, they find this is the work of a mysterious serial killer. The more they investigate the deeper the mystery. Another page turner to the end.
Fabulous!
The setting for this story may be London, but the monster kidnapping young redheads has been doing so all over into Europe and beyond.
Suspenseful twists and turns keep Miles & Nico on their toes as they quickly try to locate Vanessa. Vanessa is convinced that she needs to help herself if she wants to survive this monster and his horrible plans for her! She may be injured, but she is free of his clutches, for now.
Miles has admired and appreciated Vanessa from afar ever since she first graced the pages of a magazine that he saw. Their chemistry is building as they search for her elusive kidnapper.
I loved the build-up and the chase while knowing this kind of terror and these monsters are actually out there in the world. There are also heroes out there rescuing victims and stopping the evil.
Fast-paced, exciting and a very good story!

This book grabbed my attention immediately before the first chapter ended
.
Miles is a retired SEAL who now works for “The Mavericks.” This is a covert black ops group that does the same work as the SEALS but without the rules, regulations and red tape.
In this mission, red-headed fashion model, Vanessa, is missing, and believed to have been kidnapped by a serial kidnapper who is focusing on red-heads. Miles must leave immediately for England. From that moment on, the action never stops and neither does my attention.
Ms. Mayer creates very interesting characters in Vanessa and Miles, and Mile’s partner Nico. Their chemistry together is exciting, and I especially enjoy the fun banter between them.
In this book, author Dale Mayer skillfully creates a spellbinding suspense novel with lots of action, intrigue, adventure, with many twists and turns. Plus, it all ends with a gigantic surprise twist that blindsided me!
This is an absorbing suspense that holds the reader glued until the very last page.
I really enjoy this series, former military men finding their way in the world while still using their skills.
Miles is off to the UK to find another kidnapped woman. What does the kidnapper want with red heads? Vanessa is no dummy, she’s waiting for the right time to rescue herself. Will it ever be over though, someone is determined to have her.
I enjoyed watching their attraction grow throughout all the twists and turns this story provided.
Great story and wonderful characters, I can’t wait for the next story.
Miles next assignment is back home in London where his roots are from. Working a case that brings back memories of his past, he works to untangle a web of human trafficking. Vanessa has been kidnapped right off the street, but she is not the kind to just sit back and wait on her rescuer. She rescues herself and then meets Miles. Together, they work to bring down a serial killer. Very fast moving action with comedic scenes interspersed throughout the book. Loved the book and looking forward to the next one.

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.
This is the 7th book in The Mavericks series, it can be read as a standalone story, no cliffhangers, there is non-stop action and drama from page one until the end. This book is fast-paced, quick to read, well-written and the storyline is intriguing.
Miles is now on the case of a kidnapping and it seems as if it’s a serial kidnapper. Miles is determined to save and keep Vanessa safe, she wiggled her way into his heart years ago in a modelling shoot and now she’s on her way to winning him.
