Rock Chick Renegade (Rock Chick 4) by Kristen Ashley Review

04/13/2013

Rock Chick Renegade Kristen AshleyDamn! This series continues to get better! Kristen Ashley can do no wrong. I have read The Burg Series, The  Colorado Mountain Series, The Dream Man Series and The Unfinished Hero Series and loved every book. In every one of those series (I think) there is some crossover from the Rock Chick Series. For some reason, I just didn’t think the Rock Chicks could be as good as the rest. I was wrong.

“I want you. I want to taste you. I want to fuck you. I want to make you come and I want to hear you moan my name when you do so I know that you know it’s me who made you come.”

Sidenote here about reading this right after Own The Wind. Rock Chick Renegade was FILLED with all of the delicious stuff that was edited out of Own the Wind. Because I still loved Own The Wind so much, I didn’t realize how much of it was gone until I read this. Two pages were devoted to what the heroine was wearing that day, or exactly the layout of the hero’s home. To me, it’s part of the reason you can really FEEL where you are and get so involved in her stories, and part of the reason I love Kristen Ashley. Add to that her amazingly perfect alpha heroes and her kick ass, wanna be BFFs heroines, and her fun side characters, and I love every freaking thing she writes.

I went back to my last review of Rock Chick Redemption and realized I could write almost the exact same review. I read this with a perpetual grin on my face, AND I cried. I was in Kristen Ashley heaven…my favorite place to be.

Stairway to Heaven (haha...get it? Rock Chicks?)

Stairway to Heaven (haha…get it Rock Chicks?)

Jules is a social worker at a local runaway shelter. Her nickname is “Law” because the kids listen to her, her word is Law. She has lost almost everyone who ever meant anything to her, and has kept people at arms length since she was young. When one of her “boys” is lost to some bad drugs, Jules decides it’s time to kick some dealer ass. She trains and learns to shoot, but when she gets in over her head and brings herself to the attention of the hot bunch from Nightingale Investigations, Vance Crowe was the first to catch her.

“Those boys got a way about ’em, Jules. They don’t fuck around. They see somethin’ they want, they get it. They’re fuckin’ famous for it. A woman don’t stand a chance. He seem interested?” 

“…there’s nothing to worry about. We went our separate ways. I’ll be smarter, I’ll be more quiet, I’ll be –”
“Laid, good and simple. Crowe got a look at you, you’re his. You’re gonna be fucked and I mean that literally.”

Vance Crowe…mmmmmmm. Vance is gorgeous, of native american heritage, a biker, and a total player. Everyone knows it, and they warn Jules off. But by now, we already know these guys. They take what they want, and nothing, especially not an alarm system could stop them.

“I was snagged around the midriff and thrown back to the bed, my head hitting the pillows, and Vance Crowe rolled his body over mine. I stilled and looked up into his dark, lushy-lashed eyes.
“Oh my God,” I breathed.
“Mornin’,” he said to me, like we woke up next to each other every day.
“Oh my God,” I breathed again.
His hair was not in a ponytail but falling down around his face and shoulders and, I kid you not, he looked like a Native American Warrior God.
“Do I have your attention?” he asked.” (…)
“How did you get in here? My alarm -” I started.
“I disabled it”
“Oh my God,” I 
said again.

Jules is in her mid twenties and has never been with a man before, so believe me, she has Vance’s attention.

“Outside my bike, never has anything important in my life been just mine.
My body stilled, so did my heart, and my eyes locked with his.

He started moving again, slowly, deeply and he kept talking. “Always castoffs, leftovers, used, sometimes even food from dumpsters.”

…”Mine”, he muttered, his deep voice hoarse, that fierce undercurrent there.

Jules was definitely more of an ass kicker than previous Rock Chicks, but I love how the whole posse keeps getting bigger. Jules never really had anyone in her life, but suddenly she has all of Nightingale Investigations, all of the Rock Chicks, and all of the crazies from Fortnum’s as her family. Including Tex. I love him!

“You a bad ass motherfucker who hunts down drug dealers at night?” Tex went on.
The customer stared at Tex then he stared at Vance then he stared back at Tex.“Er.. No,” he replied.
“You a badass motherfucker at all?” Tex continued.
The customer looked at Vance. Then he looked at Tex……. He was no badass motherfucker. He looked like an accountant. The customer decided belatedly to keep his mouth shut.
“That boy is a badass motherfucker. Badass motherfuckers get their coffee first. It’s a rule at Fortnum’s. You become a badass motherfucker you get to go to the front of the line. You got me?” Tex declared. 

Likes:

  • I love how the Rock Chick Posse just keeps growing. They are all a big huge family.
  • Hotter than previous Rock Chick books.
  • Jules can kick ass, and Vance let her, to an extent.
  • Vance didn’t completely railroad her into his life (but he still did).
  • This one brought more emotions out than previous Rock Chick books.
  • The Hot guys from Nightingale are as big a gossip as the girls!
  • The amount of AMAZING quotes I had to choose from for this review.
  • How Jules not only gained Vance, but a whole family of amazing friends at her back.
  • The ending, told from all of the previous characters’ POV.

Dislikes:

  • The books can get a little bit repetitive, which is why I’m spreading out my reading them.

Rating: 5 Stars, 4 Heat

Rock Chick Renegade was by far my favorite Rock Chick book yet. But knowing I still have Luke’s, Mace’s and Hector’s stories plus Ally’s on the way makes it so hard for me to not suck these down like M & Ms or potato chips. But I LOVE knowing that I have these to look forward to, and to pull me out of any reading funk I get in.

“Any man is defined by the woman who shared her bed with him… and it works the other way too… if someone like you, someone as unbelievably beautiful as you, as crazy and sweet as you, filled with attitude and courage with her heart in the right place… if someone like you shares her bed with me, then that says something about me….This is it. You and me. No matter what.”

    Have to agree, Luke’s story is my favorite probably because Luke is my favorite. That’s not an easy call, though, Vance is almost tied with Luke for me! I loved Vance’s story and the ending was unexpected, nerve racking and great!

- @catherinecowlesauthor has been a favorite of mi - @catherinecowlesauthor has been a favorite of mine for the last few years. In 2022, the entire Tattered and Torn series released, and I loved every single one of them. I listened to them all on audio, and they each deserve a place on my Best of 2022 list, especially Fractured Sky, which I gave a rare 5+++ stars to.

They also have the most beautiful covers!

The first two audiobooks in this unrelated series The first two audiobooks in this unrelated series were on my Best of 2021 List, and Seatmate by @carabastone has continued the streak for my Best of 2022 list. The full cast narration and the production of this “audioplay” is what made Seatmate a 5-star read for me. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation. This was a quick and fun listening experience, and though it’s nothing epic, it stood out to me in 22.

I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s rare to find books about older couples and I so appreciate when an author writes a sexy one. I had a couple of issues with it, and I really struggled with the heroine’s name, James. Every time I read her name (and the female MC for the next book is Billy) my brain had to catch up for a second that it was a girl.

Taking the Leap by Kristen Ashley is my favorite book she has written in a while. It very much focuses on Alex and Rix and it didn’t feel like I had to remember a ton of other characters. I felt their chemistry and how perfect they are for each other. 
I love how Kristen handled a disabled hero. This is one you don’t want to miss! Have you read it yet?

Another Top Pick of 2022! The Love Hypothesis by @ Another Top Pick of 2022! The Love Hypothesis by @alihazelwood lived up to all the hype. I absolutely loved the smart, slow-burn romance that subtly addressed a lot of issues without ever banging you over the head with them. This is one of those books you might be able to recommend to even the non-romance reader even though it’s very much a romance. It just has that “something special”.

I am usually very stingy with my five star reads, I am usually very stingy with my five star reads, but A Long Time Coming by @meghanquinnbooks had everything I ever want in a book. Lia and Breaker’s nerdy friendship morphed into such a great romance, but it took its time, and I loved that; I thought the pace was just perfect. I listened to A Long Time Coming with a HUGE smile on my face the whole time. If I could hug this audiobook I would!

The duet narration from @mallonerin and @j.f.harding made it even better.

The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor is an The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor is another of my top reads for 2022. 

I read the first book of the Night Huntress Series, Halfway to the Grave in 2009, and I can honestly say it’s still in my top 3 series ever, so when I saw she was writing the first book again from the male POV this time, I was a little nervous but also excited. Thankfully I had nothing to be nervous about! I absolutely LOVED it and I am so glad to hear she is continuing to do Bone’s POV for the 2nd book as well!

Another 2022 Top Favorite is Carrie Soto is Back b Another 2022 Top Favorite is Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid.  I am still blown away by the fact that this non-tennis fan loved this all-tennis book so much. I loved that Carrie Soto is Back tackled so many issues women in sports face, especially women of color. This powerful story really illustrated the costs of greatness, and the sacrifices one needs to make in order to make it to the top. The narration made it even better, and the tennis had me on the edge of my seat! (I don’t even like tennis!)
