Review of Rock Chick Rescue by Kristen Ashley

10/27/2012

Rock Chick Rescue, the second in the Rock Chick series by Kristen Ashley (see reading order here) is just what I needed to get me out if a reading slump. Her books never fail. I sat there with a stupid grin on my face the whole way through. I laughed, I sighed, I gasped, I teared up and I had fun. What else do you need in a book? Oh yeah, hot sexy alpha men? We have that in spades!

“It was like the Justice League of Super Heroes but instead it was the Justice League of Hot Guys.”

.

This book brings back all of the crazy characters in the first book, lets us get to know them all better, and fall in pre-love with all the guys in future Rock Chick books. While this series is a little less hot alpha romance and a little more Rock Chick fun than Kristen’s other series, I’m enjoying the books more as I read.
.
Jet Mcallister (how fucking cool is that name?) is named after the Paul McCartney and Wings song. Both of my kids are named after either a Beatle or a Beatles song, so I really love this. She works at Fortnums with the rest of the crazy gang during the day, and waitresses at night at Smithies, the local titty bar for extra cash to take care of her disabled mom.  Jet thinks of herself as boring Plain Jane and is horribly shy around handsome men, especially Eddie Chavez, the gorgeous cop and one of Lee’s best friends, who keeps coming in to Fortnums to see Jet and get coffee.
.
Jet’s loveable but deadbeat dad left when she was a kid, her mom fell apart, then got sick. She took care of everything, including letting her little sister take off to LA to make it as a model. Jet’s lack of self esteem keeps her from realizing how many people care about her. Her life is all about working and taking care of everyone else. Until the shit hits the fan.
.
Jett’s deadbeat dad shows up in town owing money to the wrong people and Jet gets herself involved. With the help of Indy, Ally, Tod, Tex, and newcomer Daisy (a Dolly Parton look alike), there was no way the problems wouldn’t get worse, but in a crazy, wild fun way. And if Indy and Ally are involved, of course Lee’s guys are around too.
.
Meanwhile, Eddie sees Jet is in trouble, and realizes its finally time to make his move.
.
“Since I’m bein’ honest with you Chiquita, I’ll tell you I usually play with what I want until I feel the time is right to move in. The time was right with you a long time ago but you’ve been so focused on your own shit, you gave me no opening. This hasn’t been fast. You want to see fast, we’ll go into the bedroom and I’ll show you fast, but I’ll show it to you slow.”
.
Jet thinks Eddie is out of her league, and is only into her because her life is currently exciting. She thinks once she goes back to her boring life, Eddie will be gone. What she doesn’t realize, is Eddie, and all of the gorgeous guys in Denver are into her, including Mace (sigh) and Hank. But she has had a crush on Eddie for a while.
.
“Next thing I knew, my nipples were tingling, my doo-da was quivering, I was kissing him back and my legs hit the bed.”
.
This is where the perv in me wanted a lot more. Though we have some good detail, the scenes are quick. But I knew this going in. The Rock Chick series itself is more chick-lit romance than straight out dirty alpha romance. But they are fun, and I’m excited to read more about the rest of the ‘Justice League’ including Hank, Darius, Mace, and maybe learn more about the other characters as well (especially Tex- love him).
.
Likes:
  • Eddie Chavez–he can whisper Spanish words to me all fucking day (My doo-da was quivering too.)
  • I smiled throughout the whole book.
  • The rest of the hot sexy guys. Seriously, I’m moving there just to hang out at Fortnums.
  • All of the side characters, especially Daisy.
  • The requisite Kristen Ashley hot alpha guy who won’t take no for an answer {sigh} always gets me, and Eddie was no exception.
  • Revisiting all the fun people from the first book made it even more fun.
Dislikes:
  • The end. WHAT? This was not a normal KA end with a great epilogue. It was a happy for now, not even a HEA. Hopefully we will see more of them throughout the series.
  • Jet didn’t really have any growth. She resisted right up until the very end, because she thought she wasn’t good enough for Eddie (that bitch be cray-take Eddie and run! (Or Mace or Vance {sigh})
Rating: 4.5 stars. 3.75 for Heat
The first half of this book was a full on 5 star read for me. It had everything, funny stuff, sexy-ass alphas, great girls, a possessive, protective, forceful alpha hero, a likable heroine, action and adventure. But they never developed into the full-on love that I like in a Kristen Ashley book, and was missing the epilogue. It just kind of ended at a strange spot. I hope the next in the series makes up for that.
.
I will be reading the books in the series between darker, more angsty reads, because revisiting the gang every few weeks seems like more fun than running through them all so quick. I know I have the next to look forward to for a while 🙂

    Great review! I love Kristen Ashley and her Rock Chick series, but I agree with you about the lack of epilogue and about Jet’s lack of growth. I’ve read the entire series twice…(I’m a bit of a KA addict!) and you will get to see bits of Jet and Eddie (and the rest of the gang of course) in later books. Hank though, in book 3, just be prepared. *swoons*

Nobody else but Tara Sivec can make me literally laugh out loud and bawl my eyes out at the same time. I look for books with older couples, so I’ve read a good number of them, but this portrayal actually felt the most real of any to me.
With This Flirt by @authortarasivec is my first 5++ star book of 2022!

It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s F It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s Fantasyland world again! I tried to read as slow as possible because I just didn’t want to leave. Though the whole Fantasyland series is best read in order, Gossamer in the Darkness easily stands alone. You don’t have to like fantasy or regency to love this, you just have to love romance. I am so happy to have this as a new addition to one of my favorite series, and now I may have to go and listen to the entire series again.

“Sometimes, things need to break to be put toget “Sometimes, things need to break to be put together right.”

@catherinecowlesauthor has a way of blending steamy romance, angst, suspense, family, found family, friendship, kids, and a whodunnit into something completely unique and special. Falling Embers may be my favorite yet.

I had no idea how much better it would be! The new I had no idea how much better it would be! The new Kindle Paperwhite is currently on sale for 25% off. If you have a trade-in you get another 20% off plus the value of the trade-in. The new Kindle Paperwhite ended up costing me $59. And it is SO WORTH IT. The screen is WAY bigger, it’s super fast, and the new light really still keeps the pages looking like e-ink with the adjustable warmth.

The Ravenhood Trilogy by Kate Stewart has a HUGE n The Ravenhood Trilogy by Kate Stewart has a HUGE number of people who are OBSESSED with it. I love Kate Stewart and needed to see what all the hype was about despite it being a long commitment (40+ Hours). In the end, it just wasn’t for me. It was too toxic and I never fell in love with and rooted for the MCs. Maybe I’m just too old? I wanted so much to love this! As much as I hate to sometimes, I review every book I read or listen to.

The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor was e The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor was everything I could have dreamed of. I was nervous, because I’ve read a few other books that totally changed my opinion of the hero after reading their pov (and not in a good way). I was glad I went into this without a recent re-read of Halfway to the Grave (until after) because I wasn’t comparing the two, and The Other Half of the Grave felt fresh and new. 

I loved reading this almost as much as I loved reading the first book so many years ago, and that’s saying a lot, because I have read thousands of books since, and it still remains a favorite. If you are a fan of Cat and Bones, or you just want to start a new series, I 100% recommend The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost.
