I can honestly say that as much as I would love to be famous, I would absolutely lose my ever loving mind if my business was splashed across magazines and newspapers day in and day out.
I quite enjoyed this story, and finished it in a matter of hours. Enjoyed it to the point where I know I should have been doing homework, but pushed it to the side for this book. Tenley and Warner deserved each other in every way and it had my heart clenching.
One of my favorite aspects about Tenley was how down to Earth she was. Maybe it was because of her childhood, or maybe it was thanks to her best friend, but she didn’t act like a famous actress which made this story work in all the best of ways.
Warner… poor Warner tbh. I’ll admit I was not a fan of Anna and what she put him through, but the way she stood up for him in the end earned her one extra point. Warner deserved the world and more, and I was so happy he found it in Tenley.
This book was consuming, and I’ll be honest and say that it had me fiending for the next book because Wyatt Hayden deserves love!𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬

Loved it, emotional but not over the top. Realistic drama that didn’t seem forced.

The Maverick was everything I expected and so much more! The second in the Hayden Ranch series and delivering on ALL the emotions that I love Jennifer Millikin for! In this series, she focuses on each of the brothers that work on the Hayden family ranch and each one is their own unique set of yummy and Warner delivered so much.
He's a single father that has had a really difficult falling out with his ex-wife and pretty much won't open himself up emotionally. That is until he meets Tenley on the side of the road as she's making her way there for a movie she's making. There is a lot of slow build due to the emotional complications for both characters, but the build is SO worth it!

This is a fast paced paced love story but it is sooo good. I’ve literally been in a reading stump but one chapter in and I was rolling again. These characters are so easy to love from the dynamic duo to the three brothers and the pesky little sister. Let us not forget the kids. I really had no moment where I cringed. These two are made for each other but it might take time and patience for them to grasp the reality of what they both want and need. Backstabbing friends and townsfolk make this more exciting. It’s a HEA that you will want more of!

[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
The Maverick is the second stand alone in Jennifer Millikan's Hayden Family series. This one is about middle Hayden brother Warner and a holly wood actress named Tenley. The two have an instant connection. However, Warner is still feeling for his new reality as a divorced dad of two and Tenley is at the point in her life where she wants the wedding and kids. With two different plans for the future Tenley doesn't have much choice but to walk away before she hurts her heart any further.
"It’s official. Warner and I were lovers in a past life. There’s no other way to explain the raw attraction I feel. "
This was a rough one on the heart. You feel so bad for Warner. He's a great dad, a loyal husband and held out hope for reconciling with his wife/childhood sweetheart. When that hope is crushed he is kind of set a drift and has trouble coping with his strong feelings for Tenley. He is a gentle heart and even though he doesn't come right out and say he loves her you know it from his words and actions. Tenley was a fantastic character! She was fun, determined, caring, and confident. I loved how she didn't tip toe around her feelings concerning Warner, she is up front about them. She definitely took charge of their physical relationship but did it in a way that took Warner's situation into consideration. You could feel the love between them from the pages when they take the intimate step .
"No kiss has ever felt so good, so right, so earth shattering. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I will never be the same after this."
Overall, The Maverick is another wonderful romance from author Jennifer Millikin, and I'm excited for the next brothers' story!

This is my first book by the author and I'm obsessed. Honestly, this wasn't easy to read at first because of Warner's emotional baggage. But he proved to be so much more than he seemed. I loved all the characters in the book. Their family is just amazing. I really enjoyed watching Warner and Tenley's relationship grow. They are made for each other but it definitely takes a bit of time and patience. I can't wait for the next book of the series.
