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…

I really enjoyed this book! I love the entire series but this book really stood out for me. It was non-stop action from start to finish with romance intertwined. Penny and Warrick are perfect together and I think Warrick is my new BBF (book boyfriend).This author has the superpower of excellent character development. I really care about the characters in her stories.

This book has suspense, danger and steam with lots of twists. The characters well thought out and enjoyable.
Warrick is frustrated. Not only with his injury but also with the paperwork he keeps getting wrong. Everyone says how nice and how helpful Penny is but she seems just the opposite to him.
After having another bout of this is wrong, he heads to Mason’s with Tanner for one of their great Friday barbeques. There he’s about to get a surprise, in the form of a red-headed spit fire named Penny.
Oh the giggles as Warrick apparently stakes his claim with Penny. These two are a hoot.
As these two start a relationship, Penny’s efforts to help her friend and co-worker Nina, results in some unexpected and scary consequences.
Warrick is determined to keep Penny safe and help the police with this, in spite of his injury.
Fast-paced and scarily realistic, with fun, laughter, romance and some sizzle blended in.
Another awesome Author. An all nighter read 🙂
Love anything written by Mayer.
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 just loved this book. It has been awhile since reading the last book and the author put the epilogue of that book in as a prologue in this book. That really helped him to reconnect with the character, Warrick. I loved the relationship development between Warrick and Penny. It was really believable. The plot was beautifully written as well. Before I knew it the book was over and now I’m looking forward to Tanner’s story. Ms. Mayer is really gifted with story-telling. I could read these stories all the time and not get bored. The plots in each are so amazing. I highly recommend this book to anyone.
The sparks fly and witty banter abounds in this exciting read. Warrick and Penny’s book offers lots of drama, suspense, intensity and action. A very good book that is quite entertaining.
Any and all books written by Dale Mayer has my top rating. Her style of presenting our special ops men leaves me inspired because I am the widow of a Special Forces soldier. she tells their stories with a lot of danger and love involved.
I love this author…have read all her books…Look for new ones all the time…Easy to get into…and love the special opts…features…
Warrick by Dale Mayer
SEALs of Honor Series Book Seventeen
Warrick Canton has watched most all of his friends find their soul mates. He had been staying out of relationships himself. Since the breakup of his long-term relationship, he stepped back to decide what he really wanted.
Penny Thornton had the temper to go with her red hair and the big, handsome hunk who couldn’t seem to fill his medical forms out correctly had that temper on high. Until her life turned into a nightmare of life and death—then she couldn’t be happier to have the hunk as her protector.
The SEALs are falling by the boatload—falling in love, that is. And with a little help from Telsa and Mason…Warrick might just be the next one to fall out of the boat into the sea of love…once Penny can stop worrying about a gunman on the loose.

I was excited to read Warrick’s story after having discovered in the last book that his girlfriend had broken up with him, yet he was having to deal with his friends finding their loves. The gentle giant’s story starts with him being sidelined by an ankle injury and having to deal with repeatedly filling out paperwork (mostly incorrectly). Loved the humor of their coming face-to-face at one of Mason’s backyard barbeques, especially since Warrick’s friends have been telling him what a sweetheart Penny is. These two characters are definitely made for each other. The storyline does include domestic abuse but it is handled with a balance between being too dark/depressing and being taken too lightly.
Warrick who works with Mason’s Navy Seal Team is restless waiting for an ankle injury to heal. Penny is a clerk with a fiery disposition who is giving him grief about his medical paper work and is not helping him because he won’t ask. Turns out Warrick being off with the injury saves Penny although her fiery attitude helps her survive as well. Great characters, good suspense, fun romance. All in all—Well done! I’ll read this story again.
Penny is one of my favorite heroines! She has such spunk!! So cute how she stands up to Warrick and how he is just this mountain!! This book was great because it had the customary action we expect from the series, but their relationship seemed to get started sooner. You still had the slow build, but it was very clear that they set sparks off each other from the beginning. Great seeing all the other team members and the interaction and loved the ending!
I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
Another book in the SEALs of Honor series by Dale Mayer. Unlike her previous books in the series, Warrick and Penny didn’t start as friends. They started as ‘enemies’. Not in the real sense of course, but the argue a lot, clashed of personality, and so on. As Penny entangled in dangerous situation, their feelings bloomed, and there might be hope for them both.
Although in term of relationship the characters were a bit different, the storyline in the suspense part was quite same old same old. Not that it’s not good. It still good, just not so differ from previous ones. But hey, if you looking for a good fast read, with enough action, enough feeling and enough hotness, the go for this one. You couldn’t go wrong.
I was provided a complementary copy by the author / publisher through Booksprout, but this in no way influenced my thoughts or opinions.
Loved this next book in the series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but the characters do overlap. Warrick definitely has his hands full in this story, and poor Penny and Nina! These characters pulled me into the story.

Warrick and Penny have tension from the beginning, is it sexual or plain annoyance?
I enjoy this series, you know the boys are all going to get their HEA but they’ll have to work for it. There was a drama happening in the background of this story and of course the good guys will save the day. If you like action with your romance then this is for you.
Another keeper in the SEAL’s of Honor series and this time it’s Warrick and a feisty red head, Penny, who is giving him a hard time with his medical forms. Warrick keeps messing up his forms for his injured leg and is frustrated with Penny, which only boils over when both are at a bbq and they have words. Warrick tucks his tail between his legs and finally asks for assistance, which Penny gladly gives but when a crazy abuser targets one of her friends and she’s caught in the middle, it will take Warrick, injured or not to save her.
Another great read and this one is full of laughs and a bit of steam. These two were like oil and vinegar in the beginning, their banter having me chuckling, with both Warrick and Penny being able to give as good as they got…which I loved !! Not only that but the suspense and action is all there with more than 1 tense moment where their lives are in danger. A definite page turner and another great addition to the keeper series…can’t wait for more !

Dale has done it again with this book…SEALs of Honor #16. I have loved every book in this series since it gives us a different episode of what’s happening within the group and introduces us to a new member and gives us their story.
This book is filled with excitement, danger,kidnapping, twist, turns and will keep you turning the page because there is action on every page. Plus the chemistry between Warrick and Penny is not to be overlooked and you will get lots of laughs as these two butt heads.
I loved the addition of Warrick and Penny to this group and also getting another glimpse of the characters from past books in this series.
Grab yourself a copy of this book and settle in for a phenomenal read. You won’t be sorry
