“Swear to God, these boys should be locked up. It isn’t safe, men with that much testosterone coursing through their blood free to roam.”
I was having a really bad week. One of the worst ever. So I knew I needed Kristen Ashley. 10 pages in, I was already breathless and giddy with excitement. I loved every second of Rock Chick Revenge from the first page to the last which took 3 days to get to! Kristen Ashley is the queen of the long, juicy feel-good book. And that feeling lasts and lasts. Rock Chick Revenge can be read alone, but it would be WAY better if you got to know the huge group of characters from previous Rock Chick Books. See the Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley Series Order.
“He isn’t my man.”
“Girl, it dont matter you don’t think he is, he thinks he is. Therefore in Badass Motherfucker Land, that means he is.”
I love all the Badass Motherfuckers in the Rock Chick series by Kristen Ashley, but I have to tell you, Luke fucking Stark (and his handcuffs) is my favorite. And I totally loved Ava, the newest member of the Rock Chicks. Ava grew up across the street from Luke, crushing on him since she was 8 years old. But Ava was “Fatty Fatty Four Eyes”, and had 2 older bitchy beauty-queen sisters, and a just-as bitchy mom who put her down all the time.
As kids, Ava and Luke had a special bond, and she promised him she would meet him after his father’s funeral. Until she overheard her sisters.
“God, it was sick, seeing her pressed up to him like that. All her fat, like, bulging,” Marilyn said.
It was then that she vowed never to let Luke see her again until she lost the weight and got contacts. Then Luke disappeared into hot-guy training land for years. But during that time, Ava realized men just weren’t worth it. After a string of asshole boyfriends, and her best friend’s husband cheating on her, the now-gorgeous Ava vowed everlasting fidelity to her vibrators, and no men ever again.
But she wanted to help her friend Sissy catch the cheating asshole, so she stopped by her old friend Luke’s office. Until she gets a load of the crazies there (LOVE this!) and tries to back out. You know the hot bunch by now…they don’t let anyone back down.
“You got trouble, you tell me right now so I can help you. I find out another way, you’ll pay” ~Luke (I’ll pay!!! Pick me!)
“I’ll put money down that she’s livin’ with him in 4 days.”…
“3 days,” glamour girl said…
“A week, she’s got spirit,” the other black lady said…
I shook my head, I needed to focus, leave these nutsos behind and go, go, go.
I opened the outer door.
Before it closed behind me, I heard Luke say strangely, “Tonight.”
Then everyone laughed.”
But when Ava finds herself right in the middle of trouble, guess who saves her??? Mmmmm yes. Luke Stark. He tries to get the whole story out of her, but Ava refuses to share. So what does Luke do? Breaks out the handcuffs and cuffs her to him, and the “badass motherfucker courtship” begins….
“Ava, you missed it when it happened so I’ll clue you in. last night, around the time you fell asleep against me, you became mine.”
Ava was at war with herself, actually, good Ava and bad Ava were sitting on her shoulders, fighting each other.
“We’re going to bed. WE are going to bed, he said. Yippee! Bad Ava yelled happily in my ear, punching the air and doing a touchdown dance.
He’s so thoughtful, going out to get your contact stuff. I think he’s adorable, Good Ava shared.”
But interruptions abound! They keep getting calls and visitors…
“…I’ve been struggling with the urge to walk away from my mother, drag you back to my bed, rip your fuckin’ clothes off and bury myself so deep inside you, you feel me in your throat.”
Ava has lost a lot of the Ava that Luke knew when she was younger. Her evil sisters, her mother, her father who left and all the loser boyfriends she has had took pieces of her until the sweet Ava was almost gone. But Luke was determined to get her back.
“I’m not lettin’ you go. I’m not lettin’ you push me away and I’m not giving up. I’m gonna keep working until I piece together what your dad and those assholes tore from you. I’m gonna keep at you until you let me in. I’m not gonna stop until you tell me you’re mine, until it comes straight from your mouth, preferably when I’m deep inside you and you’re lookin’ at me like you look at me when I’m close to makin’ you come.”
As with all the Rock Chick books, we have our share of funny scenes (there are a LOT), sexy scenes, especially the tease of sexy scenes, kidnappings and car chases (best car chase EVAH!), romance, totally hot protective alphas, and a few scenes that made tears well up.
I have to tell you, this is my idea of a PERFECT book.
“Ava Babe, I’m tellin’ you, you’re gonna admit you belong to me because you belong to me.”
“Luke, please, let me go home.”
“No fuckin’ way.”
Likes:
- I felt that giddy, excited, can’t wipe the smile off my face feeling within the first 10 pages.
- I laughed, I cried, I giggled, I swooned.
- Ava was one of the most relatable characters ever for me (I’m the chubby little sister with 2 gorgeous older sisters and mom)
- Luke fucking Stark. And his handcuffs.
- Revisiting all of the hot bunch and the Rock Chicks. I so want to hang out at Fortnums!
- The old-style Kristen Ashley with her VERY detailed descriptions of everything gets you immediately and completely immersed in the book.
- I love the banter between Luke and Ava.
- I so want to go shopping with Tod and Stevie.
- I love when Kristen writes the story of a couple with a long history.
- Luke never seemed to see Ava as fat, even when she was.
Dislikes:
- I would have liked to see Ava even more insecure about her weight and the possibility that she’d gain it back and Luke won’t want her any more. In fact, I would have loved her to be a little heavier than the average hot Rock Chick, and Luke love her for those curves.
Rating: 5+ stars. 4.25 Heat
Kristen Ashley kind of has her own scale because her books stand out as so amazing. But even on her own scale Rock Chick Revenge stood out on top. I loved every single giddy, excited second I spent reading it. I love that I am reading this series slowly so that every time I’m reading one it feels like visiting old best friends. I could kick myself for putting this series off for some reason, thinking it wasn’t hot enough compared to her others. It is plenty hot…the promise of sex is just as hot as the actual sex!
She told me the best way to protect my heart was to trust it to someone who will protect it for me”.
More silence but his body went completely still.
“That’s you. It’s always been you.”
Seriously. Read the Rock Chick series, but I highly recommend starting at the beginning.

Kristen Ashley addict here…and proud to admit it! Asking to pick my favorite book by her is like asking me to choose my favorite child! I love EVERYTHING of hers! She is a literary goddess! And I have your blog to thank for my addiction! ♥♡♥
Megan Wickland says
If forced to pick….at gun point…. Rock Chick series, then Colorado Mountain series, then Dream Man series, then Unfinished Heroes, then Burg Series…
As for her standalone books…Heaven and Hell is awesome!!
Ok…I’m done now÷
Pam says
I haven’t read Kristen Ashely yet, but her books are on my to read list.
Tammy says
No, I haven’t read any yet. I do have Own The Wind on my kindle to read. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway.
Denise says
This is my favorite Rock Chick book! I love all of her books! The only problem with reading a Kristen Ashley book is you want another one, then another, …..kind of ruins other books. Yes, she is that great! Can’t wait for the last Rock Chick book. The only problem is it is released the day before school starts, and I am a teacher, so It will be a couple of weeks after it is released before I will have time to read!
Tracy says
Kristen Ashley is so awesome, anyone who has not read her Rock Chick books, Go and get them now!!! They are so great.
Casey Britton says
No i haven’t read one yet, but i would love to! I think i definitely need to read this book, it sounds so good!
Jennifer M. says

Christi Marion says

Holly says
SO SO SO GOOD!!!! You make me want to revisit him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luke and Tack are my fans, but then again I can add so many more..Vance, Shy, Mase, etc…lol
Christi Marion says
Favorite books Golden Dynasty, Games of the Heart, Sweet Dreams I could name more I love her books.
Janet W. says
I LOVE KA and her alpha males!!
Ashley Lynn says

Lisa Petty says
I have not but I want to read Rock Chick but haven’t cause it’s on my TBR.
robynkuhn says
I haven’t yet. 🙁
Julie K says
The thing about a KA book is that they are always 5 star! Whenever I am in a book rut I just pick up one of hers and I laugh, and enjoy. I love the Rock Chicks and the Hot Bunch, and the Dream Man series. I cant wait for the Chaos series to add a few more, as I like to read them together.
Tracy Strunk says
On my TBR list!! I can’t wait to read it!
Eunice K. says
Rock Chick Revenge was my favorite of all the Rock Chick books. I absolutely LOVE Luke.
Christina says
Without question, my favorite Rock Chick book. I LOVE Luke! Ava is great, but I’d take her down just for a chance with Luke. Sigh.
Love the picture of you with KA!
Michelle B says
Just want to say thank you for your awesome website and reviews!
Amy Pollard Woolard says
I have read some of her books! I loved Knight, Creed & Raid!!
Erika Doane says
So far my favorite is Knight. I just love him!
Renee says
I have read almost all her books, and they are all great. She is a go to author when you know the book is going to be great!
Kara says
I stumbled first on Knight, purely by accident. Fell in love, and have devoured almost everything else KA’s written. The RC series is my go-to reread whenever I’m in between books, or want something easy before heading to bed, while waiting for an appointment to start, or any other time I have a few minutes to kill and don’t want to start a new book that I can’t let go. I know all the books and characters by heart, and I’m both anxious for and wary of Ally’s story. I don’t want to let go of Denver, or Fortnum’s, or especially my RCs. Regret was my favorite story (cried buckets), but every RC is my favorite, in some way or another.
Tara says
Luke Stark is one of my favorite romance boyfriends too! I love KA and the Rock Chick series, can’t wait for Ren and Aly’s book in August.
Scheva says
If I have to choose…..Creed will forever be my book boyfriend but Heaven and Hell will be my favorite book. Swoon … I want to re read it again just talking about it! I hope I win this one because I need to read her Fantasyland series and don’t have it yet !
denise smith says
I havent got the chance to read any of her stories yet
Joan says
Oh my god, I discovered KA a year ago and I have since devoured almost all of her books. I love her writing!
Kelly Solomon says
KA is the bomb! Don’t miss out!
Jenny says
I loved all of the Rock Chick books! This one was my favorite as well! It was one of my favorite series, I loved every book….they were all so alike, but yet the characters so different! I have followed her reading guide on her website and I love all of her books, but the Rock Chicks were the best!
Melanie says
On my TBR list!
laura says
I love her Alpha men!! Cant wait to read this book.
Amy S says
How am I supposed to pick a favorite? The woman is a fantastic writer!
Laura says
My love for KA started with Stella and Mace (Rock Chick Reckoning) and since then i read almost all of her books. My Favorites are without doubt Sweet Dreams and Raid… And the Rock Chick series..

Joanne-112 says
Sharon, Please read the first in this series which is Rock Chick. You need to know all the characters to fully appreciate the other books. Rock Chick sets up Fortnum’s bookstore and how the beginning of this series starts back in childhood. So grab that book you have and start the journey. Enjoy. Jo
