Title: Stryke First

Series: Rock Series #5

Author: Sandrine Gasq-Dion

Genre: M/M Romance 

Release Date: October 15, 2017 

Rebel Stryker has had to fight to survive from the moment he was born to a heroin-addicted mother. Raised by his grandparents, his only mission in life was to succeed where his mother had failed. Now, he and his childhood best friends tour the world as a famous heavy metal band. Like any rags-to-riches young man, Rebel definitely enjoys the perks of being in the limelight. But now something has changed. Rebel never wanted to fall in love, shying away from relationships and relishing his 'no worries' rock-star persona. But there's something about the band's new manager that catches Rebel's eye. Despite fighting it with everything he has, Rebel finds himself succumbing to man's quiet ways. It doesn't hurt that the guy loves Rebel's grandpa — the one relationship that means the world to him. Staying true to his name, Rebel fights against the tide of attraction drawing him in. But it's only a matter of time before love finally strikes. Stan Jackson is hiding a secret. A Very Big Secret. One he prays will never come to light, especially since life is pretty good now. He finally has a good job, and he considers the people around him friends -- even if they don't see him the same way. All he's ever wanted in life is to blend in, not make waves, and move on through. Now, as the manager of the internationally famous Skull Blasters rock band, he is put squarely into bassist Rebel Stryker's orbit. He spends a lot of time with Rebel's grandfather, which is not only fun, but rewarding. Another big benefit is that Stan gets to see Rebel all the time. When his past catches up to him, Stan learns that he isn't just the Skull Blasters' manager. He's a part of their family.

(4 Stars)

This is book four of the Rock Series, and for this to make any sense you should read the previous three books before reading this one. That said, in book one things got a bit... intense for Stan, but he was a good sport and always willing to help so he went along with the plan to catch Paul (this is where if you haven't read, you will be confused). Now, a bit of time has past, and Stan is working as the manager of the band and has grown quite close to the members and their families. The past that "Stan" is running from is catching up, and putting once again people he cares about in danger.

Rebel's not a stranger to overcoming odds, and has watched Stan all the while hiding his true feelings. Although, the rest of the guys all seem to know that the two are meant for each other and throw them together whenever they have a chance. But when things become a bit too much for Rebel and his temper gets the best of him, will he lose Stan in the process?

So far this has been a good series, very entertaining with plenty of action and drama, with some sexy times thrown in. I found Rebel and Stan's story a very good addition. Can't wait to see what happens with Paul and Buster. I give this 4 stars.

Best selling author, Sandrine (Sandy) was born in Inglewood, California. Raised by "Old School" French parents, she later moved to Tucson, AZ. It was there that writing became a hobby. Always told she had a great imagination, Sandy wrote short stories for her friends in High School. In college, she took more writing classes while working on her Criminal Justice degree, but it wasn't until a soap opera caught her eye that she got involved in male on male romances. On the advice of a friend, Sandy dipped her toes into the world of M/M Romance. Sandy takes the writing seriously and has had countless conversations with gay men as well as hours of research.She's been involved with the military in one way or another for over twenty years, and has a great deal of respect for our men in uniform. She's traveled the world, but has finally returned to Arizona.
