About this ebook

Killian is called up to retrieve a woman who’s been kidnapped, then escaped, only to be captured again. With a sketchy SOS coming in, Killian’s tracking her from Vancouver to the far reaches of the Yukon Territory in Canada, right next door to Alaska, where the intel finally stops.

The apple of her father’s eye, Stacey was a late gift in his life. But, when it counted, he wasn’t there for her, leaving her alone and unprotected. On the run from her abusive husband, she’s kidnapped a second time by a seasoned negotiator, who can see she’s in trouble. Only he plans to auction her off to the highest bidder. 

With several threads running together on this mission, Killian must find the predator in the middle and take him out, or Stacey will never be safe again.

Ratings and reviews

When Stacy the daughter of the retired governor of New York, is kidnapped Mavericks are called to rescue her. The Mavericks are a black ops secret government agency. Two ex-SEALs, in this case Killian and Hatch, work together on missions with the rest of the Maverick team providing intel and anything else they may need. I am a big fan of Dale Mayer, but this book wasn’t my favorite. I like the plot and action. I just thought the relationship in the book was a little awkward. Stacy and Hatch seemed to have a good rapport, but Stacy kept reminding us that she was more attracted to Killian. I never really understood why. The friendship between the three characters was enjoyable and the story was original and made up for the minor issue I had. I don’t think this should keep anyone from reading the book.

Stacey seriously has the worst luck right now, not only was she kidnapped but escaped only to be kidnapped again and has no clue of they are both related or someone else is after her. Fortunately she has Killian and Hatch not only to rescue her but also keep her safe as it appears the bad guys are always closing in no matter what and she needs the Mavericks smarts and knowledge to get the upper hand and put a stop to the danger which leads to some crazy discoveries and some cat n mouse. I always enjoy the paring of the guy in this series as they obviously have to work well together as well as get on with who they rescue, but you also really want the banter between them and I feel like Killian and Hutch are one of my most favorite especially the dynamic between the three as they balanced each other out, so I really hope Hatch gets his own gal soon as he totally deserves one.

TW//CW brutality, death, domestic abuse, kidnapping, murder, sexual content, violence A 3.5 stars read. As you know I'm a big fan of a light suspense read, this type of book always made up my day. It's always fun, full of action, great mystery and suspense. This book is definitely fall in that category, so yeah I really enjoyed it. It's Killian's book. Killian's mission was to rescue a woman that's being kidnapped twice, yup you heard that right, twice kidnapped. It was full of suspense from the beginning. I enjoy the mystery of who's involved and responsible for the kidnappings. I knew some of the bad guys and the motive, but there was another question surrounding the second kidnapping that got me turning page after page. It might be a bit dragging in the middle and pretty predictable, but I still really like it though, especially the cute romance between Killian and Stacey and their banter. Totally recommended for anyone who's looking for a light suspense romance read
