Welcome to the all new K9 Files series reconnecting readers with the unforgettable men from SEALs of Steel in a new series of action packed, page turning romantic suspense that fans have come to expect from USA TODAY Bestselling author Dale Mayer. Pssst… you’ll meet other favorite characters from SEALs of Honor and Heroes for Hire too! Heading back to Iraq was never in Parker’s plans … plans …
But, when his brother is killed in action, he makes the journey to bring his brother back home to his final resting place.
When one of the K9 War Dogs disappears at the military airport in transit, and all attempts to locate him fails, Parker agrees to investigate during the few days he’s there.
Sandy is making the same journey as Parker—both of their brothers were killed in the same incident. Both brothers had been the best of friends, but this is the first time she’s met Parker. From that initial moment, she realizes something odd is happening in his world. When they find a K9 dog in a rebel stronghold, she’s sucked into a much more dangerous trip than one of compassion and grief.
There’s a reason why the first investigation didn’t turn up anything. … As Parker rattles cages and shakes up a ring of thieves, the bodies start dropping, one by one.

Another hit by this author and the K9 series this one featuring Parker and Sandy. When Parker has to head overseas to collect his brother who died while serving, he’s accompanied by Sandy, who also lost her brother. The two brothers were best friends and this is the first time the two meet, so when a request is made to find a lost K9, Samson, he asks Sandy to accompany him while there, hoping to do something while there and keep them occupied while grieving. Sandy agrees and they set out from the barracks, only to find themselves in the middle of a ring who steal from the military for their own gain and don’t care who ends up hurt or dead in the process.
A great read with steam and suspense with amazing characters and a K9 you would want for yourself. The story has all the feels and some sadness as the deaths of soldiers who gave their life serving their country. I love the no drama and the instant attraction, possessiveness and protection that comes with each story and once again doesn’t disappoint. Samson the K9 stole the scenes in this one as well and I loved that Samson was not hurt or abused while lost.
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
Parker is going to Iraq to escort his brother’s body home. Saying goodbye is never easy and having been injured himself, he’s made the decision not to re-up.
Sandy’s brother was also killed in the same incident as Parker’s brother. The two men were best friends so it’s not a hardship for her to get to know Parker. A military nurse, she has also decided it’s time to leave the service.
After visiting with some friends at the base, both are restless and Parker invites Sandy to accompany him as he tries to find out what happened to the missing K9 Samson.
Finding the dog and being chased by rebels is only the beginning. They’ve managed to open a whole can of worms and now don’t know who they can trust.
Samson is an awesome dog and is quite the hero in this one. I love how he bonds with both Parker and Sandy.
Lots of action, hold your breath scenes, and a romance that blossoms in the midst of the chaos and grief.
In addition the lead in to the next book has me wanting it now!
Somehow Dale Mayer got even better than I thought was possible, as she is one phenomenal author on any given day but she did with this book!!!! I loved Lucas book and then this one has taken top place of my favourite of this series. Dale Mayer ability to make these characters and stories come to life is a gift and I can not wait for the rest of this series. At this rate I’m going to run out of stars!! This slow burn will have your heart pumping one minute with the connection between Parker and Sandy and then the next on the edge of your seat. This book is un-put-down-able!! Definite must add to your TBR list. Loved this story and I really want to get my hands on “Carter’s” book. Happy reading!!
(4.5)A brief interlude and than bam flat out go,go,go. Fast paced suspense. This book touches on a lot of different emotions. Parker and Sandy are flying to Iraq to bring their brothers bodies home. There brothers were in the same unit and friends. Parker has been asked to do a general search, investigation for Samson, the missing K9. I will say relatively early in the book they get Samson, and then bodies start dropping and more. Every couple of pages there was a new twist, a new frenemy. I personally thought someone would be involved who wasn’t;trying to avoid spoilers and that always makes a book extra special. Yes there is romance, its dealt with light enough that 16 and up could read. These days 14 and up. I digress. I personally enjoy watching a friendship, relationship build and then when they get together its not hard core erotica. Win for me!! Every book that I read by Dale Mayer has something to make me think. This one was what happens to military dogs, different handlers, being retired, etc.
This is another excellent addition to this entertaining series. The story is filled with action, adventure, drama, excitement, danger, suspense, emotions, edge-of-your-seat twists and romance. Parker and Sandy were interesting and likable characters. I enjoyed how their story unfolded and seeing this couple tackle every obstacle that they went up against.
Parker home recovering from a war injury, is headed back overseas to escort his deceased brother home. And since he’s going he’s asked to look out for Samson, a missing war dog, On his way in he gets a flat, and he meets up with Sandy, who also has come to escort her brother home. The brothers were best friends, so they knew about each other, and decided to stick together. And together was where the adventure begins. And a wicked, treasonous adventure it was. With the help of Samson they solved the crime being perpetrated in another world. I loved this one the best out of all the K9 stories
In this series, it starts with a mission to locate a missing war dog and expands as we experience the difficulties of actually locating and rescuing it. In this one, do Samson went missing in Iraq he was waiting to be shipped home for his retirement. Parker and Sandy are travelling to Iraq in order to escort home the body of their respective brothers who have recently been killed in action, so it makes sense for Parker to be the one asked to locate the latest missing dog. However, as they start to investigate the missing dog, the answers are very cagey and then the drama starts with dead bodies turning up. This quickly morphs into a mystery thriller as the plot gets thicker in the search for the missing dog. Parker and Sandy have to work together in order to stay safe as well as locate Samson, and in doing that they come to realise that they have a much deeper connection that needs to be explored fully when they find the dog and return to US soil. Well written and full of drama, twists and turns it was like being in a complicated murder mystery as they worked together.
I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.
This is the 6th book in The K9 Files series, it’s well-written with a intriguing fast-paced storyline. These books are all standalone romantic suspense stories, no cliffhangers and just for an extra bonus we get to see some past beloved characters from the SEALs series.
Parker and Sandy are both making the same journey to bring their brothers back home after being killed in the same incident, Parker gets asked to look for the missing K9 war dog, Samson, but in their search for Samson Parker and Sandy uncover a bigger darker problem troubling the base. There is plenty of drama and action, some major twists and turns and of course the blooming romance between Parker and Sandy. Highly entertaining, definitely recommend this book and the series.
Another great read by Dale Mayer
Parker is asked to find Samson, a war dog that went missing in Iraq, While in Iraq to accompany his brother’s bodies home. Sandy is also there for the same reason, their brothers were best friends. This is an emotional and well written book.

Another phenomenal read by Dale Mayer. If she writes it, you need to one click it. Emotional and packed full of action, filled with love this is a masterpiece.
Parker is going to the Middle East to escort his brother’s body home and perhaps locate a missing War Dog. Sandy’s brother was also killed in action so she is also an escort for her brother.
On Parker’s first try he located the dog and rescued him. HOwever, he stirs up the thieves (rebels) who want “their” dog and chase after him. However the rebels give up their chase and when Parker gets back to base he uncovers a theft ring. Parker, Sandy and Samson are caught in the middle with nobody to trust. Lots of twists and turns lead to surprises.
Parker is going to Iraq to accompany his brother’s body back home. Sandy is doing the same for her brother. Both of the brothers were friends and killed at the same time. Parker is asked by his friend Badger to see if he can find out what happened to a K-9 Wardog who was being shipped home and went missing. Sandy and Parker set out to find the dog while waiting for their brothers to be prepared for shipping home. They find the dog has been kidnapped and they found him in a rebel camp.
This is a good book with a very interesting story line.

Loads of action and suspense in this story, it starts off as a fairly simple save the dog but ends up being way more. Unscrupulous characters who should know better than to do what they are, attack and threaten at every move made by the two main characters. Our main two are just trying to do a good thing and grieve for their brothers as they take them home. I actually felt quite bad for Sampson as well, this was hard on him. Great book and one that grips and holds the attention throughout.
I love this series. As always a fast paced read with plenty of drama all the way through. Parker is off on compassionate leave and is off to Iraq to bring his brothers body home. He meets sandy, whose brother was his brothers best friend. He also has the mission of finding Samson, a K9 war veteran. As the plot thickens and this is where their lives are in danger and they don’t know who to trust.
Emotion filled book with loss, fear, hope, and love. Dale Mayer brings what the average person never sees to the forefront. I didn’t want to put this book down.

Parker and Sandy are both on their way to Iraq to escort their individual brothers home after they were killed in action. The brothers, Jerry and Jeremy were best friends, however, Parker and Sandy (both military too) had never met until this trip.
Parker and Sandy (a nurse stateside) are both considering retiring after this loss and Parker is still healing from injuries of his own.
Parker had been asked if he would consider checking on the disappearance of a K9 war dog while he was gone since the dog was last seen at an airport near the area where he would be traveling.
Sounds simple but from here we are introduced to a rebel camp, kidnapping both dog and later girl, greed, cover up and generalized chaos. Quite an adventure coupled with the sad original reason for going on this trip!
Very well done. I really enjoyed this story and stayed up way too late reading! The sign of a very good book.
The epilogue includes a hint about the next book including Carter going back to one of his favorite places with a history for him and his search for Matzuka, another missing K9.
Love these books!
The suspense and action in this book had me sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. The two main characters, Parker and Sandy, already know a little of each other as their brothers were best friends. Unfortunately Jerry and Jeremy were killed in by an IED. As a result, Parker and Sandy both traveled to Iraq to escort the bodies back home.
When Badger and company learn about this, they ask Parker if he would look into another missing War Dog, Samson, while he is over there. The more questions Parker and Sandy ask, the less comfort they have in trusting others on the base. This book is suspenseful right up to the end.
I was kindly provided this book as an ARC; in exchange for my honest review. This is book 6 of 7 (so far) in The K9 Files series. This book centers around Parker and Sandy, and Samson The K9.
Samson is one of the missing war dogs that Parker has been assigned to locate by Titanium Security (see SEALs of Steel series.) Samson has disappeared in Iraq while awaiting to be loaded onto a military transport after being retired.
Parker and Sandy are both still enlisted in the Navy. But, upon being notified of the deaths of their brothers (who happened to be best friends) they decided to retire after returning to Iraq to retrieve their brothers bodies. Parker was asked to look into Samson’s disappearance while in country. Upon arrival, Parker and Sandy note some strange occurrences/behavior when questioning staff about Samson. Things quickly unravel for the pair during their search/location of Samson.
This really isn’t a romance, but follows a suspense/mystery format.. It is however, a fairly decent series that is loosely linked to Ms. Dale’s SEALs Of Steel series.
Not a “page-burner”, But is a well written, fast and easy-read; which can truthfully (in my opinion) be read by teens (16+) and adults.
