Rock Chick Reckoning by Kristen Ashley

Synopsis: Stella’s the lead singer and lead guitarist of The Blue Moon Gypsies and Stella used to be Mace’s girl. Mace broke up with her, though, and the loss of him rocked her world. But Stella gets a call, late at night (again) from one of the members of her crazy band. She has to go play clean up (again) and runs into Mace and a shed load of police, and ends up getting shot.

Mace finds he doesn’t like it much that his ex-girlfriend got shot right in front of him but it’s worse. A very bad man has thrown down the gauntlet and all the Rock Chicks are in the firing line. Stella doesn’t want Mace to be the one to keep her alive, but she has no choice. Mainly because Mace isn’t giving her one.

Rating: ★★★★

Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance, Humor

Review:

This book was good and interesting mind you I am kind of getting tired of all the women being in trouble for relationships to start. I understand that is how the guy and girl meet, but why can it not be the guy getting in trouble for one book. There girls are always the ones that need help and protection. I really am hoping for Ally’s book that she does not need protecting. A little change would be great.

This book was good, but I was a little annoyed with Stella because she kept trying to get away from Mace and kept trying to push him away. I do not understand how these girls work. They are handsome men and yes a little pushy, but if they want you then you accept and be happy. I am starting to sound like Shirleen. There are too many reasons that Stella makes up to not be with Mace, but he does not listen. What Mace wants, Mace gets and he always wins.

Mace’s father is an ass, in the end, he redeems himself kind of, but he is still an ass. Mace has some demons that he has to work through and the only person that can help is Stella, but she has to stick up to her band and tell them to deal with their own problems. She needs to focus on the music and on Mace because those are the two things that are going to keep her sane and safe.

This series has two books left and it is slowly ending. In a way, I will be happy not to have to deal with shooting and attacks, but in another way, I am going to miss the Rock Chicks and the Hot Bunch. It is worth the read though all eight books and I highly recommend them to people that like funny, stubborn and independent women and men that are protective, caring and rough at the same time.
