Legendary Security is a company owned by Levi and Ice. The company is made up of ex-Seals who take on all types of cases from terrorist plots to drug deals gone wrong. After leaving the teams, the ex-Seals just want to stay active using the skills they've learned. Before Liam leaves on his assignment, Levi tells him "Just keep an open mind— and heart— and you’ll be good.” Everyone but Liam knows what the comment refers to. If you haven't read any of the other books in the series, you'll understand as you read the book. . When someone is trying to ruin the reputation of the elephant sanctuary that Lilianna and her family own, she asks a friend for help. He contacts Levi’s Legendary Security who sends Liam and North to investigate. Once they started their investigation, I couldn’t put the book down. While Liam and North get to the bottom of the trouble, it’s Liam who provides the emotional support Lilianna needs. When North asks why he never gets the girl, Lilianna responds, “Next time”. I can’t wait for his book and learn who he falls for. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Unraveling the lies to protect those that need it most... When life leaves you reeling in grief and hurt, you can momentarily switch off from the everyday details occurring around you or you can fight back. For Lily and her twin sister, they plow themselves into work - the running of their Elephant Sanctuary. For their Dad, it’s a switch off from reality. What happens when minor things start to go wrong? So much so that those little details in work, life, and family start piling up and then spiraling out of control. That’s when you notice things aren’t what they seem and you have to fight back. This is what is happening to Lily and her beloved elephants in her families care. When you cant solve it on your own, that you seek outside help to uncover what’s happening. Exposing lies leads to a threat of danger that Lily never imagined in her wildest dreams. Newcomer to Levi’s team, Liam is finding his place inside the close knit security team. His first assignment isn’t at all what he expected. Like the true professional’s that Levi’s team are… they are focused and determined to rectify wrongs. Loaded questions and investigating key players, It doesn’t take long for Liam to start unraveling the lies amongst family to protect those that are starting to become more to him. Dale delivers you a fairly fast paced story, that is set in a beautiful, private Elephant sanctuary. The closeness of the elephants to their carers is so special… and touching. Makes you smile out loud as these gentle giants show how they show care. Captivating! If you love page turning drama, intrigue and love solving a mystery - then Dale Mayer delivers with LIAM’S LILY. When trouble really starts to develop, you can always count on your team, your friends, your family to have your back when you need them most. A well written story, highly recommended for those that love a military based hero but love solving mysteries and the intricacies of family even more. This can definitely be read as a stand alone book but like any good series, there will be recurring characters from previous books. If you haven’t already… you may want to start your journey at the beginning of the HEROES FOR HIRE series, for a more developed understanding of the character dynamics.

As one of the two newest (and still single) additions to Legendary Securities, Liam is trying to find his place in the group. When he has a chance to join a team to work with an elephant sanctuary, his dreams of jobs in exotic places take flight. Alas, the elephant sanctuary is actually located a two-hour drive away in Texas. Following the death of their brother Keith two years ago and their father’s extreme physical and emotional decline, twins Lilianna and Brianna are now running the sanctuary. Someone has begun sabotaging their donation web page and making mischief that has resulted in cut feet for their elephants and dogs. Logan (Book 6, Logan’s Light) has known the family for several years, and his father, Gunner, has been a generous donor. When Lilianna shares her concerns with Gunner, he contacts Levi for help. Liam and North, the other new member of Legendary Security, are sent to the sanctuary to assess the situation and become involved, as you would expect from reading the Heroes for Hire series, in some very interesting dynamics in keeping the elephants and the family members who love them safe. Great read!
