BLURB:
For Maiden Voyage lead vocalist, Derek Masters, life has had its fair share of ups and downs. Most recently, almost losing his best friend and lead guitarist, Ryder Hampton while they were on the road. They’ve just come off a whirlwind European tour and have a few weeks of R&R before hitting Rocktoberfest in Nevada this fall.
While Derek’s looking forward to time with his family, the loneliness of living in his big, empty house suffocates him. Seems rest isn’t always what one needs. For Derek, he’s a natural caregiver, always wanting to help others. Even when its not in his best interest.
Logan Bell has wanted to be a teacher since playing school in his backyard with his childhood friends. He loves to nurture young minds, and teach them the necessary skills in ways they can grasp and retain it. Never for a moment did he think that gift would be turned on him.
Can two souls who feel the need to be there for everyone, find a way to be there for themselves? Or will their hopes and dreams all be washed away like rushing floodwaters in a monsoon storm?
Maiden Voyage series must be read in order as each book starts where the last one ended but is from another band members point of view:
1 – Ryder’s Guardian
2 – Derek’s Destiny
3 – Jaxson’s Nemesis
4 – Shadow’s Ligh
REVIEW:
Derek’s story picks up right after Ryder’s story ends. So to understand these books it is best to read them in order. That being said, I was definitely more impressed with Derek’s book. Derek’s character was flawed however, he learned from his days of partying, sleeping around. It took him losing everything and almost losing the most important person in his life to raise upon his own person demons. I admired the family foundation, even though him and ex didn’t make it, they were able to stay friends and co-parent even when a step dad was brought into the picture.
Colby was definitely one of my favorite character’s. He was mature beyond his year. The relationship that he had with his father was beautiful even if there were long gap periods between them seeing each other. Although, I would have loved to seen more interaction between Logan, Colby and Derek outside of the classroom. The subject was touched on that he was okay with his dad dating his teacher but that was pretty much then extend.
The slowness in which Derek and Logan took their relationship at first showed just how each were dealing with demons from their past but also realizing that it takes that one special person to make the risk worth it.
But, all those sexy rocker’s don’t stay gone for too long. This wouldn’t be a rocker’s paradise without crazy parties, inappropriate laughs and jokes, and of course let’s not forget the amazing music lyrics!
So be prepared to have your hearts break a little but then be feel the music and hear their lyrics go through you!
So don’t jump off that tour bus just yet, there is some more boys that need to tell something.
