I am Maverick Steele & it’s my turn…As the bassist in The Hysterics I’ve learned that the road to fame is long.It twists and throws some crazy curve balls, but it’s always been worth it.I had never regretted being a musician.Never questioned touring or the loneliness that came with it.Until Cali.Until I had to make a choice and I chose wrong.Because being a rock star and settling down don’t … wrong.
Because being a rock star and settling down don’t go hand in hand.
Or at least that’s what I thought.

I love The Hysterics series Kristen you did it to me again! I couldn’t put Steel down till I finished it just like the others! I love that Maverick was finally able to be happy after everything him and his Mountain Breath family has been threw. Don’t want to give too much away. Here’s to looking forward to more fingers crossed!
Read Becoming Hysteric First!!
Maverick Steele! He was the supporting character who most intrigued me in The Hysterics and he did not disappoint. His history in Becoming Hysteric destroyed me. Seriously. I cried and then cried some more. I think you would have to be soulless to not have your heart break for Maverick and Dane. That is why I was SO happy to see him finally move on and start living again in Steele. I think Cali was exactly what he needed and their story gave me all the warm and fuzzies!
Steele is a gritty tale of love, lost and revisited. Count on Mazzola to step into the trenches. For Steele, Cali is the one that got away. For Cali, Steele is the man who knowingly and willingly broke her heart. Can they get beyond the drama and lay siege to their second chance? Whether you love him or hate him, Maverick Steele gets a reaction, so grab the Kleenex keep an open up your heart and prepare to tempted by love.
So much beautiful emotion packed into this fast read! Rarely do a find a book that’s shorter in length that can really get to me on a level where I cannot hide how I’m feeling. I shed tears, I giggled, and I totally happy sighed all while reading Steele. The magic that is Kristen Hope Mazzola strikes again! I swear her writing is more addictive than carbs.
Maverick and Cali’s story is about even more than their beautiful romance, although obviously that’s the star here. There’s such a huge amount of learning to be honest with yourself, healing, and growth it’s hard to believe it all fits into a book this size. But it does, and does so magnificently. With sweet and steamy romance and wonderfully emotional and touching moments I loved every page!
If you’ve read any of the Hysterics books then you know the background of Maverick. He may make your heart ache just a little with what he went through so long ago. But it’s Mavericks time to fall again like his fellow bandmates. Cali is just the one to help him move on. I’d call their relationship a bit of a second chance one. You will see why once you start reading and learning Cali’s past. I love that Mav finally gets a second love. This one is a little heart squeezing and made me want to yell at Kristen Hope Mazzola a tad. But oh so good. I really love this one and they whole Hysterics series. If you haven’t read them yet do so. You will be pulled in and can read all in one sitting without realizing it.
I have not read the rest of this series, but this was still a great novella! I cannot wait to read about the rest of The Hysterics! Maverick and Cali were a great couple and all of the supporting characters intrigued me enough to read the whole series now!
