Pretty Boy Rock #5

Reckless Ambition: Issue #2

Music.
Macallan 18.
Pretty Boy Rock Tour...

These are the only three things that warrant Maverick’s attention. Anything else is a distraction.

Maverick is determined to keep his head down and work toward changing the face of rock music, one lyric at a time. When his past collides with the present, his armor erects in self-preservation.

Guinevere had a plan—one that didn’t involve her older sister’s surprise arrival. Where her sister is glitz, glamor, and everything the best money can buy, she just wants one thing. Financial independence. A chance to make her own way. Her sister, Genevieve, has always had the road paved for her by their father. Being the publicist for Reckless Ambition was supposed to be Guinevere’s ticket to accomplishing her dream without the help of her family. But, just like always, her sister complicates that too.

Maverick was Genevieve’s first love. How does she tell her sister that the business relationship she has with the man she still pines over hasn’t always been professional? How does she explain that the feelings that she’s harboring for the rock god aren’t exactly platonic?

Two Sisters
Two Blondes
Twice the trouble

Having the Vandenberg sisters join Reckless Ambition on tour brings about secrets, betrayal, and lies. Maverick has been down this road before, but this time around, the stakes are much higher.

Will either of them come out of this triangle unscathed?

Reckless Ambition: Issue #1 puts a rock star twist on novels like Fifty Shades of Grey and The Steel Brothers Saga!

Scroll up and one click to see why readers are saying this rock star series is making their bodies thrum and their hearts sing.

Guinevere is a publicist for a band - Reckless Ambition and is falling for Maverick. But he has a history with her sister Genevieve, who broke his heart when they were only 17. Genevieve comes to visit her sister, and tells Maverick that she is in love with him - but Maverick has been burnt before, and will not let it happen again. Genevieve tells him that her sister will use anything - including sex - to get ahead without help from her father - and Maverick is determined to punish her.
Will Guinevere be able to convince him that her feelings are real? A cliff hanger ending - looking for \ward to seeing what happens next! Will she be able to forgive her sister for her lies - and prove herself to the man she loves?

S.R. Watson and Ryan Stacks' writing takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions with the perfect amount of secrets, lies, betrayal, drama, twists, and steam in the second book of the Reckless Ambition series.

I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

Oh, The Cliffhanger!!

Genevieve and Maverick have a past but it's Guinevere and Maverick that are in a relationship now. One little detail is that Genevieve and Guinevere are sisters and Genevieve has come back to claim Maverick again. It seems like Genevieve usually gets what she wants but there are secrets and lies that may change things. I can't wait for the next book in this series!

gotta say I liked this book picked up automatically where the first left off. Hated Genevieve right off the bat. Maverick was just getting his bearings with Guinevere when this witch showed up. Talk about a quick dose of reality?!?!? She walked out on him all those years ago, without afterthought to chase her own anbitions and now she has all these feelings? Pu-leez! Just a spoiled rich brat that will do anything to get what she wants, including wrecking other people's lives... including her own sister... I was glad she was gone, but the seeds were already planted. I was so happy that Maverick let his guard down and gave Guinevere a shot, but I gotta say was quite disappointed in how fast he jumped the gun and turned on her! I only hope the next book shows how wrong he has been. Hope Guinevere forgives him!

This is certainly not a standalone - you need to read the books in order. I was offered the opportunity to read and review Book 2, so naturally I had to read Book 1 first. It's a very interesting story, following the rise of a new male rock band. Add a female publicist, confined in a house and tour bus with them.... sparks fly! There are a couple of twists (I don't want to spoil) and a cliffhanger at the end of this book. I can't wait to find out what happens in Book 3 - it's going to be awesome! :)

Maverick you idiot
I’m not gonna tell you what happens in this book this is a second part of the series and you will have to read it for yourself because I’m not giving you any spoilers other than to say Maverick you have left me so angry. What were you thinking why can’t you trust?? We saw a different side of you and then you went and ruined it. I need book 3 because I can’t believe how angry I am what an outstanding read I feel like I know these people I am totally hooked I am there!

This one starts out after finding out Guineveres sister used to date Maverick 8 years ago. She doesnt want to let him go but she does since he is bent on not having anything to do with either one of the. After her sister leaves Maverick and Guinevere cant seem to stay away from each other and their relationship builds. But after a story is leaked to the media things might just end for the two of them. I can not wait to see how this continues... now waiting for part 3.

This is my absolute favourite genre rockstars, bands etc and this is about sisters who date the same rockstar but 8 years apart one sister doesn’t know how to tell the other sister that she loves him because she believes that her sister still loves him so they keep it a secret until the media gets involved and now their secret is not so secret anymore. I loved this story and the characters and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

I cannot wait to see what happens here. Maverick better start looking out for what is to come, it will only take one more lie to tip the balance here. I could not like Geneviere. She is manipulative and a raging slimey person ( I am being really sweet when I say that!)! And Maverick you are the epitome of an idiot I sure hope you figure your crap out before it is too late! Good read, I enjoyed it! I look forward to where this is going!

Never a full moment. This ball picks up speed as it goes and knocks them down as it can't be stopped.

Full of drama, secrets, revelations, characters who will have your knee bouncing and your anticipation on high alert.

Get ready to scream and experience that rush that comes from seeing the darkside of fame through the eyes of these unforgettable cast of characters. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.

Guinevere has to fight her insecurities where her sister Genevieve is concerned. Maverick is no longer in love with Genevieve and can't figure out how he feels about Guinevere. Genevieve takes back off to Paris. Maverick and Guinevere move from truce to grudging friendship to full blown romance. They hide it from the rest of the band. The end will blow you away. I can't wait for the next book!

Guinevere & Maverick have the rocky love story going. Her sister comes to visit and try to get Maverick back because she still loves him. When that does not work he moves forward with the relationship with Guinevere. When a secret reaches the news that will destroy the bands, she is blamed. What will happen?

I loved this one. It was filled with drama from the first paragraph, the first person point of view only made it better. This is a must read. 5 stars.

Maverick and Guinevere's relationship has come to a halt because of her sister and their past relationship. Now Maverick has decided that they played him and he is not having it. They get back on track only for him to believe that she is not trustworthy.

This is a quick and easy read. The storyline is well-crafted, intriguing, suspenseful, has drama and steam. The characters are defined, and likable with sizzling chemistry. I liked it.

Disjointed

It felt like this book was written as separate chapters that got all mixed up before publishing. It really made very little sense.

Best one yet

Oh my stars I actually read this book in 24 hrs. I just couldn’t put it down. The friction between the main characters was so electrifying. I would recommend not only this book but all of their books to everyone who loves a spicy romance laced with hidden innuendos and deceit. Amazing

I rate this book 4.5 stars.

This story just gets even more of a roller coaster ride with Maverick and Guinevere. Add in her sister Geneivieve whio just happens to be Maverick's ex, and drama galore happens. This novel ends on a cliffhanger and I can't wait to see what happens next!
