Warrick Canton works with Mason’s Navy SEAL team and he’s going stir-crazy on the sidelines while he heals from an ankle injury. He longs for a relationship like the ones his buddies have, but, after his girlfriend of three years dumps him just when he thinks they’re solid, he struggles to believe it’s possible. He’s invited to a backyard barbecue at Mason’s house, where he meets up with the … spitfire he’s met before and knows won’t give an inch. Warrick is intrigued, even though the she-devil won’t stop arguing long enough to get to know her.
Penny Magnus loves her job as a clerk in the medical insurance offices, but trying to get stubborn men to fill out a few forms properly isn’t her idea of a good time. With a fiery personality, Penny’s open to starting a new romance but absolutely not with a difficult man, even if he is gorgeous. Her best friend got herself in an ugly relationship and had to ask Penny for help in escaping him.
Now, just when Penny and Warrick are calming down enough to actually connect, her friend’s boyfriend contacts her. He blames Penny for the mess she created when she tore the love of his life from him. He goes on a rampage, targeting Penny–only he’s thwarted by one big, badass warrior standing firmly in his way, protecting her. All he needs is for Warrick to make one tiny mistake…

Penny is my favorite heroine of the series. She is feisty, opinionated, and outspoken. This is no damsel in distress. I love how bewildered she make alpha male Warrick. These opposites do more than attract. The plot is fast-paced and compelling. This latest book of the SEALs series is the perfect blend of suspense, humor, and romance.
As always Dale Mayer gives us a really great military read with great characters, strong heroines with twists and turns in the storyline that you don’t always see coming. Warrick is injured and has a cast on but he is having trouble with the paper work. They always say third time lucky…… right? It doesn’t seem so as he come upon Penny who works in the department where his paperwork has to be filed. Everyone calls her a sweetheart and how helpful she is when it comes to paper work because she helps them. Warrick doesn’t see it somehow.
As they square up to each other and seem to get under each other’s skin, Penny’s friend is in hospital but her ex isn’t taking no for an answer. As a hostage crisis ensures and the ex is calling for Penny to changes his ex’s mind, it seems Warrick and Oenny like each other. There is more at work than her friends ex though as dead bodies of 2 policemen and a women turn up and Penny gets kidnapped. Can Warrick and his team save her before it’s to late? Will they get a HEA? A fantastic read from start to finish. Well worth reading the series.

Another Yummy Seal read from Dale! Warrick is feeling a bit lonely, watching all his friends coupling up, he’s happy for them, but still! And there is work to keep him busy. The next assignment? Exotic………Texas? Sent to help at an Elephant preserve, yes in Texas! But wait there is a Good/Bad set of twins, the Evil ex wife, the lost owner. Everything ties together for an Awesome story!
What a blast!
Taken down by a petite, feisty, cute, red-head! I love it! Warrick is a big man and has a huge heart to match, but he snaps and growls when it comes to filling out insurance forms for his ankle injury. This is a very real situation in today’s world. So is a young or old, red haired female, known for having a temper!
I enjoyed how Warrick never gave a thought about helping Penny deal with her best friend’s abusing ex. It’s just part of who Warrick is to help people. He finds himself sort of conflicting for it to be Penny.
Penny enjoys her job which is also helping people navigate through the confusing claim forms required to be filled out in order to get insurance coverage for injuries. She knows this is very difficult for most people and helps whenever she can, except for Warrick, who shows nothing but animosity every time he brings his forms in to her filled out incorrectly. I love the interaction between these two. Yes, insurance claim forms are a pain to fill out but one would think a highly skilled warrior such as Warrick, would know to ask for assistance when faced with something as important as his insurance forms!
Penny and Warrick are kind of opposites in personalities but they somehow fit together. The attraction between them is immediate and I enjoyed their acceptance of one another despite the difficult circumstances and the danger with Nina’s ex. Penny is an innocent thinking she could be a target when all she did was talk Nina into leaving an abusive relationship. Warrick is there to keep her safe and protected despite her unwillingness to see the danger.
Warrick becomes Penny’s savior when she needs it most despite the pain and further injury he has done to his leg. I loved the way this story was written for Warrick to see and realize he has the patience to live his life and sooner or later he will find his own special someone. Most guys deny needing a forever soulmate but Warrick knows it’s true of himself. He is a keeper for sure. Penny has the feisty personality to keep him on his toes!
Excellent job! I loved it!
When helping a friend leads to more than what you ever expected…
We were introduced to Warrick in Dale’s previous Seals of Honor book – COREY… and gained a wonderful insight into Warrick’s character. He certainly lives up to his persona.. Tough, loyal, a gentleman, and that kindhearted man, who can be deadly when that moment is called upon. He will need to exercise extreme patience while dealing with the frustrations of healing from an injury sustained while Seal training and dealing with the tedious task of medical/insurance forms.
His long term relationship has ended, injury and it’s frustrations have him at odds and loose ends. A compelling, firecracker of a woman, who gives him grief at every possible turn snares his attention as does the loyalty she shows her friend in need.
Penny was a breath of fresh air in attitude and spark. While at first her constant argumentative attitude is a little unusual and appears rude, especially to a client… I believe you’ll figure her out as her story progresses, to understand where that attitude originates.
It’s when helping a friend who’s in serious domestic trouble, that brings you more than either ever expected or even wanted. As the intrigue escalates and lives are at stack – that’s when the real development of feelings unfold. Refreshing to see this relationship develop, especially with attitudes/temper that can be quick to ignite at the slightest words being misunderstood. Patience, learning to listen clearly and communication are key elements for this story.
Dale delivers a page-turning drama, that is often depicted in real life, when dealing with the ramifications of domestic abuse. A wonderful weekend read through – highly recommended for those that love military based heroes and the women they protect, that capture their attention and love. It’s always wonderful to have team members when you need help. Not only are they a team, they are family and will have your back no matter what.
Warrick, the newest SEALS of Honor story by Dale Mayer was intoxicating, thrilling, and exciting! I do so enjoy a great romantic suspense and I always feel that Dale Mayer delivers one hell of a story each and every time.
Warrick is the kind of hero I could easily find myself wishing existed in real life. He is protective, he is caring, and wants a relationship. Penny is passionate and has a strong personality and seemed to be right match for Warrick. These two had the perfect chemistry and there was plenty of action and great sex along with sweet, decadent romance that made this book a heck of a fabulous read!
Warrick gets a SUPER EXCITING FIVE BIG GOLD STARS!
OMG the intensity in this book was off the charts! Warrick in protective mode is hot hot hot. Penny is a feisty little redhead that is fiercely loyal to her friend Nina, and she’ll do whatever it takes to help her. Add in a crazy abusive ex, and you know this book is going to be exciting and keep you on the edge of your seat.

Quick, suspenseful, romantic read. All of Masons team talks about how sweet and helpful Penny is. Warrick thinks that are all delusional, and so it begins. Action, Suspense, Romance and HEA all delivered in this enjoyable quick read. I received this arc from Book Sprout and the author. I voluntarily leave this review, all thought an opinions are my own.
This enemies-to-lovers romance was a lot of fun to read!
Warrick and Penny butt heads every time he tries to submit his medical/insurance forms to her office. Their mutual animosity is thinly-veiled attraction, which only becomes apparent to them right before a crazed gunman targets her and her friends. Their banter as they try to stay one step ahead of the killer is absolutely wonderful, and their forced togetherness tears the veil away and allows for their intense attraction to ignite. Their romance is hot, fast, and deep, and exactly what they both needed.
Warrick is still recovering from an injury, but his sudden possessive protective instincts for Penny keep him focused on keeping her safe, no matter what. These SEALs of Honor are never better than when they’re fighting for the women they love, and Warrick is just about the hottest one yet. Penny is a little spitfire, not the least bit willing to back down and allow herself to be coddled, but even she comes to appreciate the security that Warrick and the rest of his team can provide.
I loved getting to know Tanner, the last lone wolf, and look forward to reading his story next. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Once again Dale has written a great book! I am so in love with this series that I hate finishing a book because I don’t want to have to wait for the next one to come out! The characters are so real. The storyline keeps you turning the pages and you end up with a book hangover as you don’t realize time has flown by because you are so engrossed! I love how characters from the other books in the series pitch in to help the main characters. If you like suspense, action and romance you will love this book!

I just love reading these books and seeing how each tough, alpha male falls for his special someone. This book does not disappoint. Penny is targeted by her friends ex-fiancé and Warrick is protecting her. Twists and turns keep you turning the page to see what is going to happen next. A very enjoyable read.

Dale has written antoher fantastic book. I loved the charactors of Warrick and Penny and their different personalities. Penny has a fiery temper to go with her red hair. Penny’s friend is abused by her fiance, a Navy Lt., and when Penny tells her she needs to leave him, George goes off the deep end. So when Penny’s life is in danger Warrick is there to protect her, cast and all. You will have a lot of laughs with these two, and wonder if they will make it out alive. I love this series.
I was kindly provided this book as an ARC; in exchange for my honest review. This book centers around Warrick & Penny. Warrick is a SEAL with a fractured ankle; Penny is a clerk at the medical clinic. Not much back story to be honest, but storyline moves quickly. I still have a problem believing the “insta-love”, but hey if it sells…
Anyway, Penny convinced a friend (Nina) to split from her abusive boyfriend George & the drama unfolds from there. A few of the characters from previous stories appear namely Mason & his wife Tesla. I can’t say the story or ending were unexpected, so if you want a quick easy read give it a shot.

Warrick needs to file his medical forms to continue treatment for the ankle injury he ignored and that is now keeping him from participating in the team’s training missions. Penny needs his forms done correctly before she can submit them for him. After three unsuccessful tries to get the paperwork done, sparks fly and verbal sparring escalates. Both of them are frustrated to say the least. Everyone else in their group can see that they’re unknowingly prolonging the tension because they are attracted to each other as only two people with short fuses can be. Just as things begin to improve between them, all hell breaks loose in Penny’s life and Warrick steps up to help her. At Penny’s advice, her coworker Nina has decided to break off her relationship with her physically abusive fiancé, George, who has gotten in trouble on the naval base and then proceeded to hold Nina hostage at gunpoint in her hospital room. George threatens to hurt Nina and the hospital staff if Penny refuses to convince Nina to return to him. Warrick insists on going with Penny to Nina’s hospital room and overpowers George. Happy ending, right? Not yet, keep reading.
Fueled by his need to get Nina back and punish anyone who helped her, George escapes from police custody, killing two police and the friend who took Nina in when she left George. The police are on a frustrating chase as George goes after Nina and Penny, losing him in every pursuit. Warrick is driven to protect Penny, who is determined to help Nina. Tanner has a few days off and comes in as back-up for Warrick and Penny, both to protect them as the police search for George AND to help diffuse their hot tempers. The action just doesn’t quit. Another great SEALs of HONOR novel by Dale Mayer.
