Derek's Destiny (Maiden Voyage Series Book 2) by TL Travis




Amazon Link - Available in KU
Goodreads Link





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 Light



My Rating - 5 Stars!


Omg, I love Derek's Destiny. The second book in TL Travis' Maiden Voyage series, it is a little different from the author's other rocker books. This time, we get a fun look at the band when they aren't touring. All the guys are around, and we get plenty of band moments without the touring. 

Not only does Derek have to deal with the feelings he had for Ryder, but everything changes as he meets Logan, his son's teacher. Yes, Derek, a rock star,  falls for his son's teacher. 

Their story is one of instant attraction and some hot sex. Their journey involves some danger and suspense, in addition to them navigating their way towards being a couple. 

The writing style is wonderful, with a fluid pace and stellar dialogue. The characters all have an intriguing background, and the storyline is gripping. Written in alternating 1st person pov, the characters fully come alive, with their feelings and emotions front and center. 

Most of the story is low angst, but there are some tough moments for sure, including some twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. 

Derek's Destiny is a great read. As much as I love TL's rock star adventures, it's fun that this story revolves around a rock star life when not on the road. I am looking forward to seeing more of these guys in the future.
