Stumbling over a dead body is one hell of a way to start a vacation… notices a new, darker element has moved in next door–and, at least in part, it appears to involve a freckle-faced redhead from his past, the girl he never forgot.
Mia remembers her best friend’s brother from her childhood only too well. What girl in her right mind couldforget Hawk? As a boy, he’d been 24-7 fireworks, lighting up her life. Every encounter with him took her breath away and made her heart beat too fast. But Hawk, the man, home for a holiday, is harder, dangerous–and impossibly sexier than he’d been when she was just a star-struck kid longing to catch his eye.
Even as Mia is swept off her feet by her teenage-crush-turned-grownup-acute feelings for him, the town is hit by unprecedented violence…and Mia’s smack-dab in the middle of the explosion.

She’s not very smart. Or really doesn’t think before acting. That was a bit frustrating for me. I would have liked to see more of their relationship. They get a happy ending, and I bought the next one. I just hope it’s a bit better.
Skip the bedroom scene, and you have a fun read.
Hawk goes home to spend time with family only to discover there are terrorists in his home town with plans for destruction. He meets up with Mia a family friend and discovers just how deep the destruction is. Mia is kidnapped and Hawk must do everything in his power to save her, she is special to him. The hits just keep coming. Love this book.
Enjoyed the book, very good
Another great seal story. Good characters and story line.
SEALs of Honor Book 2 Hawk – is a suspenseful tale full of action and danger, drama and suspense and explosive situations but amongst it all there is a lot of laughs. The story is told from multiple points of view, so we get a great perspective of their motivations, and thought processes. I mean who does not love some hot alpha male SEALS who will do anything to keep the woman they make theirs safe. I must say Dale definitely puts these women through the ringer.
After the last mission Hawk decides to head home to see his sister. Unfortunately what he finds is a town in chaos.
Mia is in a team of search and rescue and found something unusual whilst deep within a cave. She soon finds out that there is a greater plan that will put everyone in danger and now she is on their radar in captured.
Hawk and the team are now on the hunt for those who are plotting something that people will not recover from but what is worse is that they have Mia. Now they have to race against time to stop the violence and save Mia before her time runs out.
I enjoyed these stories and look forward to reading the others and see how they catch their woman.
Awesome Awesome book
When Hawk goes on R&R he heads home. He wants to visit with his sister and catch up. Life has other plans though. The town is in chaos when he arrives, so he stops at the General Store and finds who he believes is the owner shot. The response from the Sheriff is less than promising and he reaches out to his sister to find the man’s daughter, Mia.
Mia is a search and rescue professional. When Hawk arrives in town she is deep in the caves with two experienced spelunkers. She is only vaguely aware of the drama now centered in town now that a cache of weapons and ammunition has been found in the caves. When she gets the messages about her father being dead she rushes to his store. It’s then she discovers it’s her uncle. Rushing home to check on her father she finds herself and her father in a most precarious situation.
This book dives into the action fast and furiously, with Hawk having to start things on his own. The team follows quickly and the implications of the weapon cache go much further than just this small town.
Mia is strong and feisty, giving Hawk a run for his money even as their attraction grows hotter.
I couldn’t stop reading and Dale is definitely rough on her heroines, good thing they are as strong as the SEALs that win their hearts.
What is supposed to be a peaceful vacation for Hawk quickly changes when he goes into the local store and finds a dead body that he thinks is Mia’s father but who is actually her father’s brother. In addition, there’s talk that a cache of weapons and chemicals were found in a nearby cave. Of course, Mia, his sister’s best friend, is now all grown up and Hawk finds himself very attracted to her while trying to keep her out of trouble. Love that Mia has a backbone and common sense – and was able to stand up to Hawk. Also love the camaraderie among Hawk and the rest of the team.
Everything!!!
I love the way Dale Mayer writes SEAL stories! This one has the team taking a short leave between missions so Hawk goes to visit his sister, Eva. Since he hasn’t been back in a while, he stopped in at the store he used to work at as a teen, to visit the owner, Gordon. Only to find him shot in the head. Knowing Gordon’s daughter, Mia, was his sister’s best friend, Hawk called Eva with the news. Both women were there in minutes.
Turns out that not only was Gordon shot but his gun case in the store had been broken into and all of the guns stolen, along with his cache of guns in another nearby building. When Hawk heard the rumors about bomb-making equipment and a pile of guns being hidden around the town, he called his SEAL team.
Mia became an important part of the search because of her extensive knowledge of the underground caves and tunnels in the area. She is part of a search and rescue team that finds tourists when they get lost in the tunnels. But her participation makes the terrorists believe she knows more than she does and they kidnap her – several times. The SEALs keep rescuing her though.
I liked the way Hawk was always able to save Mia. But couldn’t believe how often he left her alone. OK, he did tell her to stay safe and to stay put, but he had to know she wasn’t going to just sit back and do nothing. So she went and got herself kidnapped over and over. Even with the way she attracted trouble, overall she was a strong woman who stuck up for herself. Even with Hawk. She wouldn’t take any flack from him.
What a great SEAL team. They constantly had each other’s backs whether they were on duty or not. It was cute that they kept asking Hawk if he was going to keep her (Mia) because they wanted her if he didn’t.
If you like military romance, you will really like this.
