Rock Chick Reckoning by Kristen Ashley
1.0
The only real "Rock Chick" in the bunch. I was looking forward to Stella's story. But Stella is a self-pitying girl with a martyr complex, who can't say no to her friends. She spends so much time cleaning up after her band mates poor choices she has little time for herself. Mace ended their previous relationship with little explanation, something she really hasn't gotten over. She is bitchy to him as a result & wants nothing to do with him now that he has decided, again with no explanation, that he wants her again.
Her hero, Mace, is an asshole who won't take no for an answer. On the plus side, he sees she has too much on her plate, taking care of the band, and wants to help, but she hasn't let him in the past. The negative side is how he goes about 'helping' once Stella is targeted with the other Rock Chicks by someone after Lee & the Nightingale crew. In typical KA hero fashion he is utterly oblivious of anything the h says unless she is agreeing with him. He just does what he wants and literally drags her along with him when she doesn't want to do whatever it is.
None of these women ever want anything to do with the guy pursuing them at first. None of them. They say no repeatedly, but guy won't hear it. He knows best. He knows they are just pushing him away for foolish reasons that don't matter at all. He's decided. They need to fall in line because he's decided, that's all they need to know. Yeah, some of the girls are being ridiculous constantly pushing away these hawt alpha males who can magically fix everything in their lives but mostly I agree with them. Some guy I barely know or even some guy I've know all my life starts trying to dominate my life? Won't listen to me? Won't acknowledge I have a right to decide I want nothing to do with him? Hell yeah I'd be pushing them away. I'd also be calling the cops after some of the shit these so called heroes pull.
Personally I think a story about a hot guy pursuing a woman who repeatedly says no, and then finally guy takes that no for an answer, leaving the girl to realize what she lost and then having to pursue the guy would make a much better story than guy being a controlling asshole forcing his attention on the girl.
The plot makes no real sense. Why target Stella, she has been nothing to do with Mace for ages?
