Heart's Desire

Rate this book
When you mix Hot Rockers with Military Special Ops You get the Whole Package! Heart's Desire has it all: Alpha Men, Steamy Scenes, & Heart Pounding Romance.

TSgt Ryker Lyons is an elite member of a six-man Special Ops Surgical Team, well five men and one vexing woman. Major Tia Myers is fierce, competent, utterly breathtaking, and completely immune to his charms. Teammates, buddies, perhaps reluctant friends, they’re saving lives on the battlefield. Ryker should leave it at that, but the raven-haired beauty has him risking everything to prove he’s exactly the man she needs.

When the mega rock band Angel Fire arrives on a USO tour, Ryker is given an opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream, but it comes at a cost. He must choose between the music stirring his soul or the woman who’s stolen his heart.

The stakes are high, careers are at risk, but failure isn't an option. Ryker won't walk away from the music, and certainly not from the woman invading his dreams. He’s a man who gets what he wants and Tia belongs to him.

Ellie Masters is becoming the queen of rock and roll romance with her latest book Heart’s Desire. In this book we get to revisit all our favorite characters from Heart’s Insanity and get introduced to Tia and Ryker who just sizzle together on the pages...and between the sheets.

Ms. Masters has taken the rock and roll and military genres and meshed them together seamlessly. Her brilliance with words makes you feel like you are there front row and center watching an Angel Fire rock concert. Her gift for describing the music is so magical you can almost feel the bass in your soul. And during the tense moments of the military operations you can feel the stress and angst of the characters flowing thru your body.

If you want to have your world rock then I highly recommend this book. It’s not a stand alone, so read Heart’s Insanity first. Trust me, you’ll love that one too.

Once again Ms. Masters, you rock!

Heart's Desire

“You weren't supposed to be it; you weren't supposed to be that guy.”

Major Tia Meyers has fought hard to be where she is: a member of an elite medical team that's deployed to war torn areas of Afghanistan to provide much needed medical aid to troops that have been ambushed and injured. Her world is the Air Force, and the position she holds. She's tough, brave and confident, but lonely. Her fiancee is back in the States, and she is only able to connect with him via email sporadically. Until that day... that day when her world tilted on its axis, and she felt herself spinning away....

“Don't run from this; I am not done with you.”

Sargent Ryker Lyons is a dedicated member of the team, and he has always protected Tia, whether she wanted it or not. His nightly dreams star he and Tia in erotic, sensual situations that leave him wanting, always wanting. The day that Ryker discovers Tia in tears, he knows he has a chance to make his dreams reality.

“Home isn't a place. Home is where the other half of your heart sleeps.”

Caught up in a clandestine affair, Tia and Ryker know they are walking the razor's edge. If discovered, Tia faces a court-martial and a dishonorable discharge. But neither Ryker nor Tia want whatever this is between them, to end.

When Tia's friends Skye and Forest Summers appear at the base in Bagram where Tia and Ryker are stationed, with the band Angel Fire, a new element is introduced. Ryker is invited to jam with the band and play bass. Changes are in the air, yet Tia is afraid; afraid they will be discovered, afraid she'll lose her career with the Air Force. But she's even more terrified of losing Ryker....

I was captivated from the first sentence; this story stole my heart, and I am sure it will steal yours. These are strong characters, with strength of will and integrity rarely witnessed. An enthralling tale that will leave you with a sense of awe, amazement and satisfaction. Ellie Masters has done it again!

**Warning** Explicit sexual scenarios in this book; meant for mature audiences of 18+**

Stole my Heart.

This book was even better than Hearts Insanity for me. I loved that book but this one just has the edge. It has Rocks Stars and Military Special Ops......I mean come on, could there be a more perfect combination?

God Damn Ryker!!! That guy had me seriously hyperventilating he has such a commanding, protective and dominant presence.
I'm telling you Ryker has talents both in the field and off it. He is Hott as fxxk.
Then to top it all off the guys a bloody fantastic Bass player too. He's the all round package and then some.

We get lots of interaction from Angels Fire too, our favourite Rockers are doing a few gigs at the Military base and Ryker gets a chance to play with the guys. It's a dream come true for him. Music is one of his passions but so is Tia he has his sights set on both one comes easy the other could cost him dearly.

I absolutely loved Tia she's a kickass female who more than holds her own with the guys on her team. She's one tough cookie and I have massive respect for her. I love strong women in books and Tia has balls big enough to rival any man.

Tia and Ryker work together side by side, there's always been a mutual attraction but neither has acted on it. Not only because of their jobs but other circumstances too.
When things change Ryker sees his chance and can't deny his feelings for Tia, he wants her and won't let anyone else take what belongs to him.

These two have serious chemistry I was completely captivated by them. Their story is a seductive and dangerous combination but it was utterly thrilling and I loved every minute.

I can't wait to see what's in store next in this series. I'm addicted and already have Hearts Collide on Pre - Order. Ellie Masters has herself a new fangirl if she writes it I'll read it.
I'm excited to see the rest of the Angels Fire guys get their stories because they're all awesome and hilarious I adore the bond they've all got together.

Forest is still my favourite he intrigues me no end. I've had a place in my heart for this giant of a man from the moment I met him. It's only growing the more I find out about him. I seriously have to have his book because this guy deserves everything. I've a feeling we've only scratched the surface where Forest is concerned.

Heart's Desire: an Angel Fire Rock Romance
By: Ellie Masters
5 Stars

Ahhhh, I loved getting back with Angel Fire!
This one is another great story that combines a Military book with a Rockstar book.

We are deep in Afghanistan with a special medical team, traveling to remote sites to treat wounded soldiers. It’s on this team that we meet T and Ryker. Tia (T) is an officer and Ryker is an enlisted man. The Military frowns upon these two forming any type of relationship.

When Tia gets a devastating email, it’s when her eyes finally open to how much Ryker truly does care for her. The military is going to be a career for her so she knows she should stay away…

Just when Tia needs more support, the best possible thing happens!!!

Angel Fire is touring with the USO doing concerts. There is nothing better than enjoying your friends and your bestfriend Skye when you are feeling down.

Ryker is known to Tia as the base playboy. Whenever they are not in the field, he is playing the field. But what Tia doesn’t know is Ryker has had feelings for her since the day they landed for their first mission.

When Angel Fire is on the base, Ryker gets a chance to open up and shock everyone. Up on stage he is a different person, lets the guitar express his feelings. Boy what a lot of pent up feelings he carries.

Loved all the songs mentioned in this book! Brought back some awesome memories. The switch between military and rock and roll was a great mixture! Story was engaging and flowed at a good pace. Can’t wait to read more from the Angel Fire boys!!!

I wasn't sure about this book in the first few chapters, but very very soon got into this book and then couldn't put it down !!! The book is the 2nd in the series but works very well as a stand alone, but I'm definitely going back to read the first book and the associated novella. The story revolves around 2 people in the military - Tia a major and engaged, Riker is enlisted. When Tia's finace breaks of thier engagement, Tia wants to go out and sleep with any guy. Riker wants it to be him and decides that Tia will sleep with him and not just any other man, but its against military rules for them to have a relationship. Bring in a popular band, who know Tia well and are coming to play to the troops and cheer them up. Riker has always wanted to play in a band and now he gets his chance, and he's good but he also thinks that Tia might sleep with one of them. Riker wins his way and has a passionate night with Tia and realises he doesn't want this to be a one night stand. But when the band try to go out and play to troops in the field, one of them is badly injured and Riker is asked to step in for him on the tour. Tia and Riker have a night to remember, and decide they want to be together but fear getting caught and know the consequences for Tia could cost her career and possibly put her in a military jail. They try to hide their feelings but none the less one of their superiors nearly catches them and tries to report them. They evade being caught but only by Tia leaving Riker and going to a mission to rescue some injured troops. When she is injured, and brought back to base neither of them can hide they feel any longer - This is where I stop I refuse to do spoilers you will just have to read the book to find out what happens.

How do you get to read a sizzling hot rock and roll romance combined with all the angst found in a great military romance? You read Heart’s Desire by Ellie Masters. I always say this author is a word magician because there is nothing she cannot write, but even I was in awe about how she took these two completely different genres and meshed them to perfection. We get to revisit the love between Ash and Skye in this book. We get a big hug from that mountain of a man Forrest. We get to rub up against all the sexy tattooed men of Angel Fire, and as if that wouldn’t be amazing enough, we meet Tia and Ryker! Tia is this strong female military officer who is making it big time in a man’s world. She is tough, focused and takes no prisoners. Ryker is this sexy as heck military “playboy” who just can’t seem to keep his hands off Tia. The visual details of this write make me feel like I am in the Afghanistan desert with these guys. It is hot, dusty, dry and dirty, but these two steam it up with a love affair that makes the desert wet and welcoming. But I digress, so how in the world does a rock and roll band fit into his story? READ the book and find out! It’s delicious and I can’t wait for this series to continue. I highly recommend this book.

Hearts Desire was everything and then some. Ellie Masters has once again left me absolutely breathless!!! From page one I was consumed with the story. I loved how we got to see the men from Angel Fire again while becoming in love with Tia and her military team. There were definitely times throughout the book that had me on the edge of my seat.

And please don’t get me started on Lyons (a.k.a. Ryker)...if I was there in the book I would be on my knees for him. The man is 100% swoon worthy and I am claiming him as mine if Ellie will allow it. Ryker is a down to earth, alpha male who just captured her heart from the beginning all the way to the end.

Hearts Desire is intense with a side of sweet and sexy. The book had me from the beginning all the way to the end. My addiction to everything Ellie Masters has grown tenfold. Bring on the next book - STAT!!!

Grrrr

So I was going to give 3 stars because it was good but just wasn't holding my interest but then it made me mad.
With all the sexual assault that happens in the military I thought their first time started a bit to assault y but I let that go.
At 70% I got bored and read the next book in the series ( liked better -4 stars-) then came back...big mistake cause that's when I got really mad.
So they, Ryker mostly, couldn't wait 1 month!?! How much could he really care about her if he kept pressuring Tia and just couldn't keep it in his pants. Even after they got caught he seemed not to worry about her career and only about how he felt.

Angry that the female had to loose everything she's worked so hard for just to have a HEA with a guy. I think women in the military deserved better.

Absolutely Freakin Awesome!!
This continuation of the Angel Fire Rock Romance is a true heart stopper!
The romance between Ryker and Tia is definitely one for every lover of a HEA!
With everything that is thrown at them, with every obstacle placed in their way, they find a way to make it. The Angel Fire Band joins the USO to entertain the boys and girls overseas, when Bent gets injured enroute to their next gig. Forest does what he does best in substituting a Bass player, while rearranging personnel to his liking.
Absolutely wonderful read that brings you to the front in Afghanistan. While keeping you safe in your seat. Men and Women in uniform plus a Hot Upbeat Band will bring on the Heat.
Recommend to all lovers of Uniforms, Rock Bands and HEAs!!

Ryker And Tia's Military Romance Feels Authentic, Taking The Reader On Location In Afghanistan Along With The Characters! When Tia's Friends Forest And Skye Show Up On Post With Rock Band Angel Fire, Things Get Complicated.


This is book four of the Angel Fire Rock Romance series, a four book series about the hugely successful rock band Angel Fire. It reads as a stand-alone. A prequel, Ashes to New, gives the tragic background story of Skye Summers and her foster brother Forest. Forest plays an important role in this series and goes on to play an important role in the Captive Hearts series, a three part series ending in Forest's own story. 

Angel Fire is one of the biggest rock bands around. The band nearly broke up a few years back when drugs and addiction became a problem, but after some rehab and a sobriety pledge, the band has continued on stronger than ever. Lead singer and guitar player Blaze has been friends since high school with Bash, who plays drums. Spike plays guitar and happens to be covered in piercings. Bent, who has a mop of curly black hair, plays bass. Noodles, tall and lanky, plays on keyboards and stands out with his tribal tats. Although the men have settled down in comparison to their earlier years, they continue to be a rowdy bunch. They fight like brothers and enjoy the pleasures offered by scores of groupies.  

In book one, Ash Dean, a.k.a. Blaze of Angel Fire, wears a dragon tattoo on his neck that hadn't gone over well with his minister father and elementary school teacher mother. At twenty-eight, he has achieved great success, but not without a price. His addiction nearly broke up the band, but he has been clean for years now. He has had more than his share of women over the years, but the novelty has worn off. He is waiting to find that elusive "one" that his father told him about. Skye Summers, probably twenty-seven, has worked hard to become an ER doctor, graduating early from high school and entering an accelerated six year medical program. It has kept her busy, which is why she does it. Working is her way to self medicate. She also avoids conflict. Her childhood was robbed from her by her foster father, and although she knows she needs therapy, she hasn't had time to slow down for it yet. Rocker Ash and ER doctor Skye's story is emotionally charged as Skye's painful past becomes an unavoidable obstacle to the couple's happiness, yet their story is also tender and sweet as Ash, with infinite patience, never gives up on Skye, who sees him as Ash, not as Blaze, his rock star persona. 

Book two is a military romance that takes place almost entirely in Afghanistan. It almost reads as a spin-off, as the band itself plays more of a supporting role in the story. Skye and Forest appear as well.

Major Tia Meyers, or T, is probably in her mid-twenties and the only female on her six member Air Force Special Ops surgical team. The team saves lives on the front lines and prepares the injured for transport back to Bagram. She has one month left on her deployment and another year on her commitment, but she loves what she does and plans to make it her career. It is tough to be a woman in her position, surrounded by alpha males, but she worked hard, beating out other men to earn it. Tia attributes her success to Forest and Skye Summers. Forest saved Tia from a bad foster home as a teen. After later becoming a nurse, she worked with Skye in DC before followed Skye's advice and going back to school to become a CRNA, or Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. The military's loan forgiveness program caught her attention afterward, and a few years have passed since she last saw Forest. 

Technical Sergeant Ryker Lyons turns heads with his good looks and arrogant, bad boy attitude. At about thirty, He has no trouble finding a woman to bed when the team is on post, yet there is just one woman he really wants, and she is out of reach. As the respiratory technician on the Air Force Special Ops surgical team, he works closely with T. She is perfect, but fraternization rules prevent him, an enlisted airman, from pursuing anything with T, who is an officer. If caught, they risked their careers and possible jail time. There was also the issue of her fiance. But when time and distance lead to heartbreak for T, who desperately wants to find a rebound man, all bets are off. Ryker won't let her make that mistake with anyone but him. 

Ryker and T risk everything on love in this exciting military romance. When Tia's friends Forest and Skye show up on post with Angel Fire, things get complicated. Their surprise USO tour is great for morale, and as a bonus Forest works his magic to get Lieutenant Colonel Vane to allow Tia and Ryker to accompany them on tour. In the end the couple gets their happy ending.

Ryker and Tia's story feels authentic, taking the reader on location along with the characters. Their story is well-written. The plot is somewhat complex. The characters feel real, although their history lacks depth. I wanted to hear about Tia's youth and a little more of Ryker's story prior to enlisting. Something held him back musically, but it is never explored. His experience with Angel Fire, though, is beautifully written in great detail. The story is written in third person. The POV alternates between Ryker and Tia. I rate this book 4.5 stars.

Fantastic Story & Audible Listen🎧 A Rocking Military Romance! Captivating & Heartfelt!

Heart's Desire
A Rock Star Romance (Angel Fire, Book 2)
By: Ellie Masters
Narrated by: Josh Mickley

I love everything about this book, from Ellie Masters wonderful writing style to the interesting storylines and characters she created. lThe characters are likable, realistic and easy to relate to. I adored both leads, they are both part of a Special Ops Surgical Team saving injured troops out in the deserts of Afghanistan. Tia Myers is a Major and Ryker Lyons is a Technical Sergeant, he is attracted to Tia but she is the constant professional and feel the same way. After a rescue mission they returned to Bagram Airbase to re-supply. Tia runs into her friend Forrest, who is there because “Angel Fire” will be performing for the troops. Forrest appeared in the 1st book, he is Skye’s foster brother, Tia and Skye are good friends. A lot of great things happen for Ryker while in Bagram, he lets Tia know how he feels, makes progress pursuing her and he gets to jam with with “Angel Fire”. The chemistry between Ryker and Tia is undeniable, but fraternization amongst ranks is forbidden and with Rykers service almost up Tia has the most to lose. I loved how everything plays out in this book and how well plotted it is, Ellie Masters masterfully merges rocker romance with military romance all in one book. She knows her music and her military lingo too. A lot goes on in this book and there is never a dull moment. There is drama, angst, action, some heartfelt moments and the start of a wonderful romance. Elllie Masters, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride. Also thank you for keeping it real while covering subjects like PTSD and women in military, touching on some challenges they face, showing how Tia felt the need to prove herself worthy and that she could hold her own. I hope the rest of the series is coming to Audible too.

I listened to the Audible edition, Josh Mickley did a great job narrating and bringing the characters to life giving each their own voice and personality. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the great listen🎧

Not Really My Cup of Tea (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

This was more military romance than rock romance and I wasn't really feeling it.

Technical Sergeant Ryker Lyons is an enlisted airman in the U.S. Air Force. Major Tia Meyers, of course, is an officer. Ryker has always had a thing for Tia, but she was engaged, so he kept his distance... even though he flirted a little and kinda get on her nerves.

Things changed between Tia and Ryker, even though they shouldn't have--fraternization is not just frowned upon, but an officer involved in it can not only lose his/her career, but face jail time.

Ryker talks about how much he cares for Tia and how he wants more than a one-and-done. Tia is more than attracted to Ryker, but she has her career to think of. For him to care so much, and her to be so career-conscious, neither of them act like it.

Maybe it's just me, but I had several issues with this story, and my issues may included spoilers:


**POSSIBLE SPOILERS**


1. The first time they are together at Bagram, felt like a dub-con situation and I don't really care for those. She kept saying "No," "We can't" and the whole time he's removing her clothes. WTF?

2. Ryker claims to care about Tia, but when they realize that a few people may be onto them, he refuses to step back. HIS career its not the one that would be on the line, though, so...there's that, I guess.

3. Tia was a little TSTL. She risked everything she'd worked for for a man. Even after she got busted, she wouldn't tell him no. She felt like such a weak character.

4. Then, there were your general typos and consistency errors. (Ex. At one point, Tia is on her knees in front of Ryker... he steps back from her...she walks toward him. When did she stand up?)

I know I can be really petty when it comes to reviewing books. What can I say? I like what I like...and I didn't really like Tia and/or Ryker. When I find myself not caring about what happens to the H and h, or wanting them to get caught, or even rooting for the bad guy (when there is one), it doesn't bode well for my enjoyment of the book or my review.

When Ellie Masters "puts pen to paper" the results are always highly charged and thoroughly entertaining. Great characters and strong storylines give the reader a pleasurable experience.

Major Tia "T" Meyers and Tech Sergeant Ryker Lyons are part of an Air Force Special Ops Surgical Unit. From the moment Ryker met T he's wanted her. A Dear Jane letter finally gives him the opportunity he's waited for. The relationship is forbidden by military standards; officers and enlisted personnel cannot fraternize. Although they're cautious, it's a great risk to her career.

Angel Fire comes to play USO shows at Bagram and Ryker is given the opportunity to sit in with them. That opportunity leads to an extended duty assignment when Bent, Angel Fire's bass player, is injured during a convoy attack. Tia and Ryker's secret is discovered. She is sent back into combat with a warning that an investigation is being initiated. Ryker continues the tour with the band but when Tia is injured, he rushes to her side. Thankful she's alive, he kisses her and that kiss is her undoing. Brought up on charges she faces a court-martial. Her military career at an end, Tia finally realizes she's no longer shackled by rules and regulations that keep her and Ryker apart. She has a new career in front of her and a new love beside her.

USO. How can the story be anything but good

I support our veterans. I could list the worthy organizations but my two favorites are the USO and Wounded Warriors. Saying that, reviewing this installment of Angel Fire Rock is a pleasure. Ellie and her husband are true heroes. Thank you for your service. Saying this, reviewing this installment of Angel Fire is my pleasure. Tia and Ryker had chemistry that really rocked both of them. Both in a special ops medical unit, both in the Air force but Tia was a Major and Ryker was inlisted as a Sergeant. Neither the twain shall Fraternize. Heart's Desire was so interesting on so many levels but I liked the strength in this particular unit in the service, very tight knit with other members. Ryker, by a fluke, ended his career in the Air Force, playing with the legendary rock band Angel Heart. So many twist and turns, people from the first two stories running throughout this book. The storyline melded together with all those who had proceeded this book, to come out in the end with an almost HEA. Thank you Ellie for using your experience and knowledge while in the military, to write such a delightful book. On to the next.

Ryker. Let me just say YUMMY!!!! Man Ryker has it all going for him. He's hot, romantic, will stand up for what he believes in and is amazing at his job. What happens though when the woman he cares for is engaged and he can't do anything about the way he feels?

When they're on a mission to save soldiers they come under fire Ryker tackles Tia to the ground and covers her with his body so she doesn't get shot. Ryker is feeling her body under him and he can imagine all kinds of things that he could do to her IF she wasn't engaged, IF they weren't under enemy fire and she wasn't an officer. His imagination is very vivid.

When they get back to base and she checks her email and receives a Dear Jane letter. She's upset and decides to go ahead and get her a man. What she doesn't expect is Ryker. Ryker who is everything she wants but can't have because of their ranks. What happens though when he gets her to change her mind?

Man these two are HOT together but will Ryker have to chose between Tia or his music that he's loved for years? It's an impossible choice for him, which one do you think he'll chose? Which choice will Tia make?

Heart’s Desire!!

Rockstar Military Romance!!

The perfect blend of Military romance and Rock N Roll romance. I don’t know how Ellie Masters does it but she blends the two together and gives the the feeling of being deeply immersed in both worlds. In this book we’re introduced to Tia and Ryker who are both on deployment in Afghanistan. There chemistry is off the charts hot!! And you can’t help but to root for them and fall in love with them. We also get to see our favorite characters from Heart’s Insanity and rock out with the guys from Angles Fire-Blaze, Bash, Bent, Noodle and Spike as well as Skye and Forest.
This is the second book in the Angle’s Fire series, although it can be read as a stand alone it’s better if you read Heart’s Insanity first. And I promise you will love it. You will get all the feels reading this book. It’s got danger, excitement and smoking hot sex not to mention a great story. So go one-click it, enjoy the ride,and happy reading!!

This book was OK. It ended up being exactly what I thought it would be from the blurb, and so different from the first book. I wasn't as into this one as much, and the emotions from this one were practically missing.

I do like that they had known each other for a while, first, since this book took place over the course of about a week. That being said, I didn't really get much emotion from them, other than they wanted to sleep together. I wasn't really picking up anything deeper, really, especially from Tia.

Also, when they were so close to getting caught, and knew they were being watched closely, why couldn't they just stay away for just a few weeks until they were in the clear? If career meant so much, then they could have done better.

I think I will continue this series. I am interested in getting to Forest's story. Can't wait.
I don't think I would read this book again, though.

Wow! My first time reading this author. I had no idea what to expect. I won a copy of this book in a random draw. So glad I did! I did not read the first book in this series, but I think that was ok. I'd like to read it now though! As for this book, it was really, really enjoyable to read. The characters jumped off the pages and stole your heart, mind and imagination. The story was exciting, believable, and extremely well-written by this author, putting the reader right there in the action. And lots of action there was--Special Ops missions, rock concerts, and hot, steamy sex--this book had it all! The two main characters, Tia and Ryker, are quite the combustible couple. Tia is the perfect, powerful, kickass woman to go toe-to-toe with Alpha Male Ryker. I LOVED them! Grab yourself a copy of Heart's Desire and enjoy!

Major Tia Meyers and Ryker are on a special ops medical team in the desert of Afghanistan. Going to a fro helping wounded and trying to save lives with their team. When and opportunity falls in there lap to tour Angel's Fire. When the orders come down and Tia finds out some devastating news she is looking for something but with the band she may find it. Ryker has other ideas and with one kiss it could destroy everything Tia has built in the military. Will they be able to handle their Heart's Desire or will everything they do and feel make it worse for them? Will Ryker be able to keep his feelings inside or will he set them free and lose everything?
The emotions this book pulls out will make laugh, sigh, and cry. An amazing read that takes you from war to rock and roll and everything in between. Can't wait for the the next one.

Ellie Masters keeps surprising me with each book that I read of hers. She has written a book that has a rock band, the military, and two individuals that are completely on fire for each other, which has given us one book that melds them all together so very nicely. I am embarrassed to say that I haven't read Heart's Insanity yet, and that will soon be rectified. With that said, Heart's Desire can be read as a standalone and you won't feel anything was left out having not read the first book. Ryker and Tia are two very relatable characters that make you feel all of their emotions from attraction, joyful elation, love, anger, and hurt. This book flowed so easy that I was not ready for it to end at all and would love more Ryker and Tia in the future.

Heart's Desire by Ellie Masters is part rock romance mixed with military romance. I'm a HUGE fan of both types. I LOVED getting to revisit all of my favorite characters from Heart's Desire. Plus we meet Tia and Ryker. And let me say these two have AMAZING chemistry!!

I really LOVED catching up with Angel Fire. I felt Ms Masters portrayed the PERFECT band once again. I could feel the music just from her strong descriptions. From start to finish I was captivated by this story.

I highly recommend not only this book, but this series. From the characters that you'll love to the storyline that will hold you captive, I feel this author brings another level to writing, and can't wait for more.

*I voluntarily read an advance copy. This is my honest review.*

Hearts Desire

I absolutely loved this story. It was full of love and romance. It was sweet and heartwarming how much Ryker felt toward Tia and how she felt towards him. They deserved to be together. You could tell from the start he was attracted to Tia, just by how he treated her and took care of her, looked out for her.
Tia was a little stubborn at first because of being engaged to Scott, but he wasn’t faithful to her. And Ryker knew it. He didn’t do things a guy should do for his girl he’s engaged to. Dead giveaway.
I thought the author did an awesome job on this book, so happy I got the chance to read it. 10 stars in my book. ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

A seductive, sexy and thrilling book!

Ellie Masters has crafted a seductive , sexy and thrilling book, that will leave you breathless!! I loved how this story centers around the military. The brief glimpses of all the rules and regulations that are in place in the military was an eye opener for me! Love should never be wrong but for Ryker and Tia that's not the case, as she is an officer. I loved how the lines between theses two slowly begin to blur and to hell with the consequences!
This book has all the feels and will leave you wanting more about Angel Fire!!

To be honest with you, I'm hooked on this series. Forget your preconceived notions of a Rock Band Romance and let Ellie Masters show you what her imagination found when creating this series. Not only are the members of Angel's Fire is HOT HOT HOT but the people they attract are smoking as well. This story will take you into a Special Ops Surgical Teams missions. Just know ahead of time, once you start this book, you won't be able to put it down until your finished. Congratulations on another 5 star rating!

Great mix between military and rock stars!

Heart's Desire moves Angel Fire to Afghanistan to play a USO tour and needing a bass player when Bent is injured.

TSgt Ryker Lyons and Major Tia Myers are team members on an air force special op surgical team when Ryker shows that he is really good on a bass guitar when Bent is injured.

Most books with military justice tend to run a fine line between the law and the needs of the book but this time the story line was accurate on the regulations for Tia.

Oh the heat between Ryker and Tia was as scorching hot as the desert they were saving lifes in. I respect Tia for not losing it when she got discharged because that must have been a tough pill to swallow. I love the merging of rock stars and the miliary coming together to create such a heartfelt story. I'm so excited to find out Sky is having a baby. My God this series as been phenomenal and I know the rest of the bands stories are going to be even better.
