Books From The Backlog – Gem Stone by Dale Mayer @DaleMayer
Gem Stone: A Gemma Stone Mystery - Dale Mayer

 

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks.

 

If you would like to join in, swing by Carole’s Random Life in Books.

 

I can’t remember how I got Gem Stone by Dale Mayer, but it was published October 12, 2012, and, after reading it, I wonder why I waited so long to read it.

 

Gem Stone

Amazon / Audiobook / Goodreads

 

MY REVIEW

 

Uh Oh. Gemma Stone is in the wrong place at the wrong time and taking photos, no less. From juvie to a halfway home…

 

But…they messed with the wrong kids when they messed with Gem and her friends.

I love this motley group and their loyalty to each other. One for all and all for one. These kids took me o n one wild ride right to the very end.

 

Love the environmental angle slipped in and the photography.

 

The suspense is different from what I expected, in an awesome way.

 

The writing riveting and captivated me beginning to end.

 

The characters are fabulous and I love how the ‘family’ came together.

 

Touchy subject…foster children.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Gem Stone by Dale Mayer.

Blaze (The K9 Files #4) by Dale Mayer
Blaze (The K9 Files #4) - Dale Mayer

 

 

Beauty exposes a tragic face. Love finds three unconventional souls. Solo is the tragic figure that brings together a wounded warrior and his somewhat flighty, always genuine, dream girl. Love could be their destiny, but dark forces are on the horizon. Will the secrets of the past destroy any hope for a future? Mayer enchants readers and intrigues heart with her flair for the dramatic.

SEALs of Honor: Dane (Volume 3) - Dale Mayer
  Dane is quiet, great looking and fantastic at his job. Patient, kind and protective. Marielle is good at her research job, still studying chemistry she has discovered a weapon quite by accident so stressed by that and my her mothers poor health she goes on holiday. Invited by a professor to Germany she sees a military guy in the garden where she's staying, things start taking a downward spiral from there. Threatened, blown up, snatch attempts she ran to Dane for help at first then once she thought it was ok started to head home.
Action packed story with Dane and the Seal team trying to find out what's going on and why Marielle has been targeted, then to find out exactly by who. I love these men, they are hot, sexy, very protective and have great sense of humours. Brilliant at their jobs and will stop at nothing to get results, they are all at a stage in their lives that they are wanting to find the love of their lives and tend to find them when they least expect it. They fall fast and hard once they do and they have started to do so one after the other a bit like dominoes. The story is interesting and the varied subject matter keeps you wanting more. I loved the animal aspect with this one as Masters was very much a part of this as the main characters, pampered and looked after no matter if they were flying or in a safe house in either country. Easy reading that you don't want to put down but with enough suspense to give it a bit of an edge so you don't know what to expect next or when.

it was amazing




Read from March 24 to 25, 2016

This was an arc copy for an honest review.
This is a great Seal Team, friendly, supportive, efficient, deadly and instinctive of each others moves. They can read each other and have a way of signaling, communicating without words. Tesla is strong, determined, honest, loyal and loving. She is also extremely intelligent and keen to save military lives, even at the risk of her own. She's a fighter determined to do something to stop needless death like her brothers, and to keep up with this team of Seals and not let them down or make their job any harder than it needs to be. There is a lot going on in this story, it keeps you on the edge of your seat and often holding your breathe. The team take her into their hearts firstly because of the amazing stamina that she shows, but also the way she wont take any crap. Although this is a serious issue and some nasty stuff happens it does have a little bit of light heartedness at times which fits with these guys and her. It made it all the more enjoyable during reading when you find yourself having a little chuckle, it eases the tenseness of all that's going on and waiting to see what's going to happen next. There's definitely no getting bored or to relaxed, thinking oh good now we get the happy... def not plenty of twists and turns right till the end.

Gosh these guys certainly pick their women, strong and capable but forever going missing. The Seals themselves seem to spend half their time chasing down the baddies and the rest rescuing their damsels in distress, not that they seem bothered to much at being hero's. The bad guys don't have any qualms about beating on women either, real bullies and violent different matter when its men though its guns all the way. Fast paced action packed story, no time to get bored or to put it down as it is straight from one crisis to the next. Enough story to keep it interesting and with a touch of mystery to who the main bad guy is. The caves sound fascinating, though I'm not great at being in enclosed spaces. The Seal team are all hot, great at what they do and very much all for one and one for all racing to help each other as soon as the call goes out. Oh and they are all looking for the same type of women since they have all claimed both Tesla and Mia so far, look out Mason and Hawk you mess up and the others will be stepping up. Honestly I loved it, the joking and teasing making me chuckle and easing the tension that built in between.

Gosh! Suspense and excitement from start to finish, its intense and mysterious as well. Linked to both the Sleeper Seals Series and Dale Mayer's Heroes For Hire Series, the focus is on Michael. Levi and Ice have been trying to recruit him for a while but he has been refusing, wanting to stay retired until he receives a phone call from someone else needing his help that changes his mind.
Mercy is trying to find out why her sister was murdered, she goes privately under cover to get information. This is a book you do not want to put down, I was hooked from the first page and would happily have sat and read without interruption (#blow life getting in the way)still I read in every free minute I could get. I loved that Mercy was strong and feisty, determined to stay and do her bit. I loved that the clues were slow to pop up and gradual when they did to draw the suspense to maximum, causing my heartbeat to slowly increase as the excitement towards the conclusion built. Wonderful plot and characters and as always at the end of the main story a brief introduction to the next story character. Just enough of a tease to have me wanting the next book. Well worth the five stars.
