EXCERPT:

Her face was stunning. Wide smile. White teeth and a good deal of them. Big eyes. Elegant nose. Soft cheekbones. All of this she highlighted with the expert use of makeup from what was clearly a gift of superior genes into something that shone like a Hollywood starlet.

A starlet of a stripper who looked a good deal like Dolly Parton, who also likely got home the night before, earliest, three in the morning, and was right then, only hours later, back on the stage helping another girl by teaching her some moves.

“Marcus, brother,” Smithie’s voice came at him. “You got a problem with the way I do business, and I give you reason to have that problem, then we have a talk. I don’t give you that reason, we don’t have conversations like this one. That’s our deal.”

Marcus listened to him while he watched Daisy talking to the other girl and then she ran across the stage, doing it gracefully in platform sandals, her stone-washed jeans tight on her ass and hips and all the way down her legs. Still, after she ran the four steps, she launched herself high, grabbing on to the pole at least three feet higher than she was, her body swinging around by just her hands.

When the swing ended, she climbed up the pole, hand over hand. Doing this quickly, taking herself up another four feet, she flipped her bottom half over, wrapping her skinny legs around the pole. She dropped back, her hair flowing down, and with her only hold on the pole being her legs, she arched her back and slid down slowly, somehow circling the pole as she did it.

She ended this doing a layout with her hands on the floor, her legs in slow and controlled movements coming over her head one after the other. Her hands pushing off, she was up.

Standing straight with perfect posture.

A Message from Kristen:

Dear Reader,

I’m beside myself with glee that this prequel to my Rock Chick series has been unleashed! There was some time when I never thought I’d write it. When I couldn’t be in that terrible place with Daisy. But I’m oh-so glad that she called to me, demanding her story be told so she could give it to me and now I can give it to you! I loved every moment spent with Daisy and Marcus. And I hope you do too!

~Kristen Ashley

Praise for Kristen Ashley and ROCK CHICK REAWAKENING:

"OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FREAKING LOVED IT!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!! This was pure Old School Vintage KA GOLD!!!"

"This novella is like the key to all the locked doors in this series."

"We inhaled Marcus and Daisy’s story, how could we not. It was everything to us and we cannot thank Kristen Ashley enough for writing it, in her much loved unique manner. The queen of epilogues struck once more and we smiled through copious tears of happiness, our hearts feeling full and complete. Whilst sad that it’s over we just can’t feel anything but happiness and love right now. It was Aces! Rock on…and be prepared to be swept of off your feet."

"[Kristen] Ashley captivates."

"There is something about them [Ashley's books] that I find crackalicious."

"I felt all of the rushes, the adrenaline surges, the anger spikes... my heart pumping in fury. My eyes tearing up when my heart (I mean... her heart) would break."

About Kristen Ashley: Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorize and she hadn't taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen's Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning. Nothing's changed. Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she's blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up. And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.

Review: Rock Chick Rescue (Rock Chick #2) by Kristen Ashley

Posted on Friday, February 13, 2015 4:13 PM

Title: Rock Chick Rescue
Author: Kristen Ashley
Series: Rock Chick #2

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

Jet McAlister has a secret. Eddie Chavez has the hots for Jet (not to mention Eddie’s just plain hot). Jet has too many problems to realize that Eddie’s interested. Eddie loses patience when Jet ends her waitressing shift at a strip club with a knife at her throat. Since Eddie’s a cop, he figures he can help. Since Jet’s used to solving everyone’s problems she doesn’t want Eddie’s help.
Throw in a Dolly Parton look-alike, a gruff but lovable strip club owner, Jet’s ne’er do well father, his ne’er do well friend, Bear, Bear’s long-suffering, chain-smoking wife Lavonne and the crew from Rock Chick and you’ve got Rock Chick Rescue.
Rock Chick Rescue takes you on a wild ride with Jet, Eddie and the gang as they wrestle bad guys in a bagel shop, hit Denver’s backstreet poker tables (with big hair), and help the strippers at Smithie’s take down a would-be murderer.
Through this, Jet’s got to learn that even when life made you give up your dreams, you can still end up with the (hot) guy. Eddie’s got to rescue Jet from a bad man (so he can do better things with her) and teach her that some dreams can come true.

“Don’t ignore me while I’m trying to break up with you!”

Second book in the Rock Chick series and the series is still burning hot. So much action and humor packed in a book.

Eddie Chavez is hot,, hot, hot but when it comes to ladies, he’s a bit slow. Jet, a worker at Indy’s bookstore, has a huge crush on Eddie for a long time, but won’t do anything about it. So every time Eddie comes to the shop, which is quite often, Jet acts weird around him and this creates a misunderstanding between them.

When Jet’s father pops into town for a “visit”, trouble follows and Jet has no one to rely on but Eddie and Lee’s guys.

I had one big problem with this book named, Jet. When I started reading the book, I really liked her. A strong woman who tries to take care of her mother (who recently had a stroke) and her sister (who’s in LA living the dream and who knows nothing about Jet’s financial problems). Her father shows up only when it’s convenient for him and thus Jet has no one but herself to hold responsible for her mother, the bills, the car, the house. I felt really bad for her.

So when Eddie decided to help her with the troubles her father brought home, I expected she would accept his offer. Instead, she kept everyone at a distance, not asking for any help (even though she needed it).

Eddie on the other hand, I loved. He was so sweet, protective and all he wanted was to take some of the weight off her shoulders. Was that really bad? I don’t think it was. He was an alpha male and not at all the man Jet thought he would be (she thought that he wasn’t going to stick around when the danger was finally gone! Needless to say, she was wrong!)

Once Jet got over her fears, she was an enjoyable character.

Rock Chick Rescue was definitely action packed, had a bit of suspense, lots of humor and some great new and old characters (Smithie, Daisy and Trixie)

I hope to see more of Eddie and Jet in the series. I want to see their relationship develop further (and a more confident Jet!)

Totally recommended!

Review: Rock Chick (Rock Chick #1) by Kristen Ashley

Title: Rock Chick
Author: Kristen Ashley
Series: Rock Chick #1

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

Indy Savage, cop's daughter, rock chick and used bookstore owner, has been in love with Lee Nightingale, once bad boy, now the man behind Nightingale Investigations, since she was five years old. No matter what ingenious schemes Indy used to capture his attention, Lee never showed an interest and Indy finally gave up. Now Indy's employee, Rosie, has lost a bag of diamonds and bad guys are shooting at him. When Indy gets involved, Lee is forced to help. Complicating matters, Lee has decided he's interested, Indy's decided she's not. But she can't seem to keep Lee out of her life when she's repeatedly stun gunned, kidnapped and there are car bombs exploding (not to mention she's finding dead bodies).
Indy's best bet is to solve the mystery of the diamonds before Lee. Lee's challenge is to keep Indy alive and, at the same time, win back her heart.

“I haven’t been avoiding you,”
“You’re lying. The last time we were both at dinner, you got up in the middle of Mom’s fajita presentation and said you forgot to feed your cat.”
Uh-oh.
“So?”
“You don’t have a cat.”

When I started reading this book, I thought that I had never before read a book by this author. Turns out, I have. I read a series called the Three, which I didn’t love but it was enjoyable. Now this book, it rocked!

Indy Savage has been in love with Lee (her bff’s brother) since she was five. Now at 30, Indy has had enough rejection in her life that she’s been ignoring Lee for the past 10 years, thinking that he’s not interested. But when trouble comes knocking on her bookshop, Indy turns to Ally (her bff) for help. What better solution is there than putting Indy in Lee’s home, since he’a away on a mission. But what Happens when Lee comes home early?

Exploding! Rock Chick was a great book. Not my fav but still great. I’ve never met a more sassy and mischievous heroine. Indy was so much fun to read. She and Lee made quite a team. Indy always getting in trouble, being kidnapped not once but twice and never taking any bull* by anyone.

I was a bit mad at Lee for keeping his distance and pushing Indy away all these years but I understand why he acted like that. Now, things have changed. Lee has always wanted Indy and the time has come to get her.

I loved taking this journey with them. I had to much fun and I couldn’t stop laughing. I loved all the action and all the wonderful unique characters. I hope they all get their stories: Eddie, Ally, Jane, everyone.

Wondering who’s going to be matched with Eddie though. I really like him and I hope he finds his HEA. He totally deserves it.

Totally recommended!
