Shane’s best childhood friend has been kidnapped and Shane is expected to rescue her. He and Shelly went to school together helped each other when one or the other had a bad relationship. That is what best buds do. Shelly is worried about the pregnant lady and why she was kidnapped and held for six months. Things get more convoluted and murkier the more Shane digs into how to rescue them all. People are dying all over the place and more than one person seems to be calling the shots. What is going on and why? There is some serious action in this book. One question leads to more questions and very few answers.

Paperback. It’s always good to see another book in the series land on my doorstep ready to be read. Shane and Shelly have been friends for a long time and it always seemed that she got herself into trouble. Well this time she did. With 11 colleagues dead and Shane keeping her safe, things get confusing when Shane is told the rescue is a test and they need him to save someone. Dead bodies pile up, and friends become enemies as they try to find the baddies. I have to admit I hated Shelly from the beginning. I just wanted to shout at her because she fought against being told what to do and couldn’t keep her mouth shut. Well until she needed stitches and fainted. I have to admit I did laugh. Another great read and I can’t wait for Diesels book. A great read with great characters.
Shelly is just freaking hilarious, level headed (well most of the time lol) and awesome, I loved her right from the get go and she is the perfect match for Shane having known each other since forever so they totally get each other. Trying to work out who was behind not only the initial hostage situation that Shelly was in but everything that happens after that is complex and and layered as well as fraught with danger, deaths and double crossing. This has the perfect mix of a friendship which could change to romance and a game of cat n mouse with plenty of action, mystery and bad guys!

What do you do when your best childhood friend is kidnapped and held hostage? You go in for the rescue! Shelly is a hoot, she argues every point and has an answer for everything. But Shelly isn’t the one the kidnappers want, they want Shane, but for what? They work on solving the mystery of the why, and sadly feelings will be hurt and people will die. This story take a world wide trip, and goes back in history for Shelly and Shane. Mostly they figure out they missed so many signals into their own personal lives! An edge of your seat, action packed story!
In this Mavericks addition Shane is called in to rescue his childhood friend, Shelly, who’s been kidnapped and the kidnappers want Shane. Along with Diesel, they save Shelly. Next Shane is notified his sister and family are taken hostage. A real guessing game as to what, why and who. The banter between the characters adds to the humour.

It is obvious to everyone except Shane and Shelly that they are meant to be more than best friends. But first, Shane and the Mavericks have to stop the man or men that are leaving a trail of bodies from New York to London. Lots of action and suspense will keep any reader glued to the story. Throw in some romance, a baby, lots of humor and you have a great book!

Shane and Shelly have been friends since they were kids, best friends forever so when Shelly gets into a hostage situation and the kidnappers specifically request for Shane to try and rescue her, he doesn’t hesitate. Shelly is scared and is worried about Shane since the men who have her want Shane. There is more to the request of having Shane show his rescue abilities and soon the two with Diesel end up on a more dangerous rescue that involves another young woman, M16 agents and powerful evil men. The two have never thought of each other than more than friends, not wanting to lose their friendship but with Diesel coaxing on the sidelines….will they give it a shot.
Another great read with some steam, friends to lovers, suspense, twists and turns, action and surprises. I love the no drama, no other women and the flow of the story with great characters….can’t wait for Diesel’s story!!

Fabulous!
A deadly hostage situation has Shane flying to New York City to rescue his best friend, Shelly, from an unknown group of hostile and impatient men looking to do anything to get what they want.
These killers are determined to make Shane come to them when they say so and on their terms by holding Shelly, along with her co-workers, hostage in their office building downtown New York City. It will take Shane’s special skills along with his partner, Diesel, to find a way inside the building without letting the bad guys know they are there.

Fast paced and intense right from the very beginning. There is action, murder, dangerous and arrogant people all around with many twists and turns that keep you guessing who the bad guy really is. There is also a very touching and satisfying level of kindness and hope that rounds out this adventure as well as an unexpected love come to light.
Great story! I loved it!

I loved this read with relatable characters and an exciting action-packed story that kept me on the edge of my seat, turning the pages faster than ever and unable to put the book down until I read the last word. I love the Mavericks, a covert black ops team that steps up and breaks all the rules to get the job done and “Shane” was a perfect addition to this must-read series when he goes to rescue his best friend Shelly who is being held as a pawn. If you enjoy well-crafted, can’t-put-down military suspenseful romance, don’t miss this book. I received an advance reader copy from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review.

This is another installment in Dale Mayer’s “The Mavericks” series. Reading the other books in this series will enhance the enjoyment. However, this book easily stands alone.
Shane and Shelly have known each other since they were kids. They have become best friends who always keep in touch with each other. Shane works for a covert black ops group and is constantly away from home.
On the other hand, Shelly has just started a new job and has moved to New York. Unfortunately she is kidnapped at work as a means to coerce Shane to rescue her. That is just the beginning of the action.
As Shane is moving Shelly to a safe place, he learns that his sister and her family have been kidnapped. The kidnappers will not return them until Shane has rescued a woman who was kidnapped six months ago.
Shane is a strong, well-trained man. He is also loyal, ethical and caring. Shelly is tough and independent. She can, and will, attempt to save herself no matter how dangerous it is. She has loved Shane for a long time, but he has never thought of her as anything but a very close friend.
Ms. Mayer has skillfully written a complex, action-packed, plot with lots of suspense and excitement. The reader will be taken on an amazing roller coaster road that never seems to stop as Shane and Shelly hunt for a way to end their dilemma.
Ms. Mayer leads the reader through many intriguing and dangerous surprises before Shane and Shelly are able to consummate their love and find their happy ever after.
Yay it’s Shane’s story, I already love this man from the previous book, he’s such a sweet man and this time it’s his turn to become a hero, to save his best friend and his family and rescue a stranger and defeat bad guys, yup it’s complicated and packed with actions with splashes of romance. There were parts that felt rushed and too unbelievable that bothers me a lot, but still enjoyed it nonetheless, especially team work between Shane and Diesel and the sparks between Shane and Shelly and I adore Shelly, she’s super feisty and so temperamental, so reckless but very kind and thoughtful person.
Great actions, characters, and romance, totally recommended to those who’s looking for a light fast-paced suspense romance read.
Shane works for the government in a dark ops organization nicknamed the Mavericks. When Shane gets back from his last mission, Gavin calls him and tells him that he needs to get to NY to rescue a hostage. When Shane asks why, Gavin tells them that the kidnappers would only deal with him and his best friend Shelly is the hostage. Once he rescues Shelly, the story gets interesting. The mystery behind their need for Shane to help them and what was behind the kidnapping keeps the reader guessing. The ending of the story was something I did not see coming which is why I likes this series so much. This is Book 12 in the Maverick series and just like when I read the other books I am looking forward to the next.
