This time we are off to the Columbian jungle and boy does it get intense at times, not only is there snakes, scorpions, guerrillas (not the furry kind!) and people you don’t know whether to trust or not. Manila just wants to do her job and I have to say she is one cool customer even after getting kidnapped but also shows her caring side for those with her while Ryker is all business to get them out of the jungle but doesn’t mind having manila there and getting to know her more. You really don’t know who to trust at all apart from Ryker and Miles and you also don’t know what they will come up against as they make there way to safety and even then there is still tension and worry on what will happen next. I am loving this series and can not wait for thee next installment!!!

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.
This is the 6th book in The Mavericks series, it can be read as a standalone story.
Pretty soon after arriving at his brothers home from his last mission helping Asher, Ryker sent on a new mission of his own, he’s off to the jungle in Colombia to rescue a geologist, Malina and her team from guerrillas.
An action packed story with a fast-paced intriguing storyline, plenty of drama and loads of twists and turns. Highly addictive series, I can’t wait for Miles’s story.
After working with Asher, Riker is next for his own assignment. I really feel sorry for these guys, it seems that call comes before they have a change to recover from their last mission.
Riker had just arrived at his brother’s when his call came, he has one night and he was leaving for the wilds of Columbia. On the Navy cruiser he was traveling on he was approached by Miles, a friend and now it seems his partner on this mission.
Manila was the team lead on this excursion to find possible platinum ore. She has a couple of promising stones, but she’d like more. Unfortunately as she was getting ready to unload her finds she and her team are captured by guerillas.
So far they’ve been left alone, although with very little food or water. With her is a grad student, Andy, who seems to be holding up well, and a colleague Benjamin who seems a bit pessimistic. She has no idea what became of their guides, but that’s the least of their worries. Manila has faith that the company she works for will send someone in to get them, and prays that it’s sooner rather than later.
Riker and Miles find them without too much difficulty and manage to get them out the back of their tent. Now they needed to put distance between them and the camp.
Manila stays close to Ryker throughout this dangerous trek. A the hours turn to days, Benjamin becomes more and more irritated with everything. He takes whining to an artform and places all the blame on Manila.
A wounded guide, slows them down as they do their best to get him help. They need to know what happened and what they find starts them investigating closer to the group they rescued.
In all of this Ryker finds himself a little more than attracted to Manila. She has courage and fortitude not seen in many who have been held captive.
Once again Dale Mayer has delivered a page-turning, action-packed tale that has romance in the form of banter and just the right amount of sizzle.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!
I’ve gotta say, this author’s books keep me hooked. So much action, suspense, and romance all rolled up into one heck of a story. I love how the epilogue cues up the next book and has you saying “ohhh the next one is gonna be a good one too”
This latest book in the Mavericks series takes us to the jungles of Columbia where geologist Manila Folgers and her team have been captured by guerillas. Ryker Landers’ turn is up to lead a rescue and Miles joins him.
I must say that I shuddered a few times as the group were making their escape and ran across snakes and other creepy crawlers along the way. In addition, they had to avoid the different groups of guerillas that they came across as they were working their way through the jungle to the coast. But once they are in the small town and waiting for their extraction, odd things continue to happen.
The attraction between Manila and Ryker was grew as they all worked their way through the jungle. There were some surprises in the story as it unfolded toward the end as to who was involved in what was happening and why.
Absolutely breathtaking, sinfully sexy, and thrillingly suspenseful! This book takes us on a ride that is exciting, heart-stopping, thrilling and everything in between. The suspense, action and drama that is woven in between the love story unfolding makes the book so fantastic. I just couldn’t put it down. “Ryker” completely sucked me in and captured my attention from the very first page to the very last. From beginning to end this book is pure perfection! So grab your copy today! Bring on the next one please!! Happy reading everyone!!
Now this is action packed. Ryker is off to the Columbian jungle to rescue a geologist named Manila. A daring rescue, avrace against time, falling in love and fighting to survive. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this journey. I enjoyed this book so much. Dale Mayer is my go to author.
Manila is a geolist sent to Columbia to locate platinum with a two team members. Andy is student learning and is just a helper while Benjamin has worked for the company for a long time, but doesn’t have a degree. They’re kidnapped by guerrillas. Ryker and Miles are sent to rescue them. It’s a dangerous mission with guerrillas everywhere, the jungle out to get them and twists everywhere. The sparks between Manila and Ryker ignite quickly and burn hot. It’s an excellent read. I volunteered to read this book via Booksprout.
Wow. This book contained so much action and my adrenaline surged as I tried to devour the story and see who the guilty party was. I had an inkling but between guides, guerrillas and team mates plus people in a village, my mind was torn in several direction to who the fall guy was. It was down to Ryker to try and fathom the whole mess out and why someone would want to hurt Manila. A great read from the beginning And I can’t wait to read Mile’s book.
Ryker is a member of the Mavericks, a group of Navy SEALS now working in more independent operations. His job is to rescue and protect a geologist by the name of Manila. Strong smart women and protective (and smart) men are a trademark of Dale Mayer. I found myself muttering “don’t do it” many times throughout the book. The characters are colorful but the descriptions of the environment (watch out comes to mind). Another page turner with many twists and turns. Bravo once again!!

Ryker and Miles are sent into the Columbian jungle to find and rescue Manila, a geologist, and her team from a group of guerrilla terrorist. Escaping through a dangerous jungle and solving who is responsible for their abduction mounts to even more mystery.
Rescued from guerrillas…When geologist Manila and her team are captured by Colombian guerrillas, Ryker and Miles are sent to rescue them. From the moment that Ryker and Miles parachute into the jungle, there is almost non-stop action. With a jungle locale, Ryker can’t depend on GPS and electronics, but instead utilize only their former SEAL skills. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Though I enjoyed reading how GPS is used in previous books, it is a nice change to see them doing well without it. This is an excellent suspenseful series, which every book can be enjoyed as a standalone. The romance between Manila and Ryker is very believable. The illegal gold mining, search for platinum, and guerrillas make this book more interesting. I loved this read.
This book was awesome! Loved the interaction between the characters and how the story line was so easy to read. Loved that the story line twisted and turned and kept you on your toes so you had to keep guessing who was good and who was bad. Love how this series brings one person from the previous book and makes them one of the main characters in the current book. Love how the main characters get along. I do not think there is anything not to love in this book or any of the others in the series! Cannot wait for the next book in the series!

There’s always danger in the jungle and that’s just what Ryker and the team he is sent in to rescue find. I loved the suspense and the connection between Ryker and Manila. This is a great addition to the series and I highly recommend it.
(4.5) Loved the twists and turns, I was actually surprised with some of them. That just makes a book stand out of the norm. I appreciate that. Ryker is up for his mission, his “test” so to speak so he can join “The Mavericks” He is sent to rescue Manilia, a Geologists lost in the Columbian jungle. Lost or captured? His helper is Miles. I thought Ryker and Miles worked seamless together and I really enjoyed their partnership. Manilia has a brain!! Yes an intelligent geologists not afraid to speak up for herself, so take that Benjamin! Andy was an enjoyable asset to the Geologist Team. The secondary characters were needed and took the story out side of the norm. An enjoyable, mystery, romance, and suspense. The suspense had me hesitant to flip a page. The romance seemed genuine in the shor amount of time they had, and that adds another plus in my book. Thank you Dale Mayer and Booksprout for the arc. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions.
This is a quick paced romance with intrigue and action. Ryker and Manila grow close as they trek through the jungle after he helps rescue her and her team.
