Maiden Voyage, Book 1

For Maiden Voyage guitarist, Ryder Hampton, life is great. He and his bandmates are embarking upon an epic European double headlining tour with their friends from Social Sinners with the band Embrace the Fear opening for them.
Since joining Maiden Voyage in his twenties, Ryder’s life has been a whirlwind of the cliched, “Sex, drugs and monumental doses of Rock ‘n Roll. And he’s loved every minute of it from the sold out shows to the revolving door of bed partners.
Max Hightower has always been a team player. Whether it was working with his team in the Marines or now with the private security company, Ventura Security. These days, his job was to have the backs of a band of musicians. One band member in particular he’d allowed to get too close and now emotions were involved.
Ryder Hampton had left his mark on Max’s closed-off heart and now Max’s job was in jeopardy. Falling for your principal wasn’t safe – nor smart. Neither was missing the mark on protecting him and now Max was guilty of both. The security detail he’d begged his boss for had turned out to be the one that could ruin him and shatter his heart too. Max couldn’t allow either option to happen.
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 Light

My Thoughts: Ryder is the lead guitarist in the band Maiden Voyage. The band is on a worldwide tour… and they are taking a security team with them. Max Hightower is excellent at his security job and now he has Ryder as his principal on the tour.
One night, after a show… Ryder stops just offstage and kisses Max. The kiss just about causes Max to spontaneously combust and then Ryder is gone. Thus begins the conflict for these to men.
Max is very serious about his job and realizes that he needs to stop obsessing over Ryder. Not only is a relationship with someone he’s protecting a bad idea, but it’s also against the rules and could result in him losing his job. And even though Ryder doesn’t seem all that interested… he continues to flirt with Max to the point at which he’s about ready to lose his mind.
What Max doesn’t know is that events in Ryder’s past have left him feeling as though no one would want to be in a relationship with him. He also thinks that Max is in a relationship. To entertain himself, Ryder continues to flirt with Max!
There’s intense chemistry in this book. Max and Ryder are definitely sparking with one another the moment they meet. They’re not on the same page immediately because of varying circumstances. There is a lot of sex in this book in spite of the fact that Ryder and Max are sneaking around for a majority of it!
The great part about this novel is that when the two main characters get together, the action certainly continues. there’s a valid reason for the security team to be there concerned. There’s action and an accident… and you certainly won’t be wanting for hooks to keep you reading!
I really loved the supporting characters that were introduced as well which makes me really happy that this series is continuing. I already had a peek at the upcoming titles and I’m delighted to see that some of my favorite characters are coming in their own stories.
