I was biting at the bit for Mason and Tessa book! My expectations were meet and exceeded. Tessa loved Mason for as long as she can remember. Mason did not have Tessa on his radar in a romantic sense. The connection they have musically is magical. When Tessa flirts she flirts!! She may be young but she is confident and fierce. Mason did not stand a chance. When Mason and Tessa finally connect. Dang the pages are on fire!
As always I am obsessed with the whole dang family and I mean everyone not just the immediate family of Tommy, Angel and Jessie. They Immortal Angel family as a whole. The series at its core is all about family and love.
4 ½ Stars
This book started well and put me into Tessa’s shoes right off. She is a bit juvenile in her expectations of Mason, but some people go thru life nursing a naiveté that the rest of us find ill-fitting. Such is life. She is a beautiful, loving character, driven to succeed and fierce in her pursuit of what she wants in life.
Mason has blinders on. He sees music and nothing else. So, in that way, Mason and Tessa are perfect for each other. His abrupt introduction to the real world was painful to watch, but I’m glad he woke up and took a big whiff of the coffee. I think the world is a more exciting place to be in if you must work and fight at least a little bit for what you want and need.
There is more conflict in this book than there was in the first book of the series. It made things seem more real and not a fairy tale where everything is beautiful and perfect, and the sun shines on everyone and nobody poops. Mason Wilder is a book where somebody might poop. (but off-page, please) I like to feel like I can relate to the characters in a book. I can better relate to these characters this go around.
I was quite creeped out by the antagonist. She made my skin crawl. Ugh.
I enjoyed this. I would typically read something grittier, but this is a sweet escape from the bad things in the world.
Tessa and Mason are a sweet couple. There is love, passion, comfort in familiarity, and hope for a happy future.
I look forward to more from this author.
Mason and Tessa finally get their chance at happiness together. It took Mason awhile to realize his feelings for Tessa were more than friendship and his best friend’s sister. Tessa always had a crush on Mason. This was a great read and I enjoyed reading this couple’s story.
OMG!!! Mason and Tessa’s story is way more than I ever thought it could be !!!! What an adventure and the HUGE SURPRISE TWIST in the middle!! Love how all the parent and the Immortal Angel band have a major storyline and the evolution of the band Prodigy! So well written, even had to blot eyes with tissues during happy and sad parts of the book, like they were my real family not characters in a book. More
Mason Wilder is book two in the duet, Radical Rock Stars Next Generation. It may have taken a long path to get to where they are, but it is now time for Mason and Tessa to get their path at more happiness. You will feel the emotions of both characters while they work through moving from friends/band mate to something more and a shock we did not expect. Device hold may be needed.
I love seeing where these children have gone in adult life and love seeing the parents and band family from Immortal Angel. This is one close family (yes family) and now if we could only eat some of that delicious food and listen to this music that would be the icing on the cake. I hope that we see more of the Radical Rock Stars done the road.
So good to read about the love between Tessa and Mason. Both are such lovely characters, a hallmark of this fabulous series, and fill the book with their kindness, love and life. Again, family and music take another part of the centre stage and provide such a strong framework for the story. With the past rearing its head and matters of the heart needing to be sorted, Mason Wilder brings us a book which had my heart fluttering and leaving me with a huge smile on my face.
