A review by bobsvoid
Rock Chick Reckoning by Kristen Ashley

5.0

"You all are fucking nuts. Everyone is fucking nuts! The world is fucking nuts!" I yelled just as the door opened and Mace walked in.

Completely oblivious to my tantrum, Mace looked at me with still angry eyes and announced. "Time for your last set and, Stella, if there's one fuckin' song about death or guns, I'm gonna shoot you."

Look at that, book six and I'm still completely gonzo over this series. This wasn't as good as Ava and Luke, but still a good story. The highlight of this story was how well Kristen Ashley incorporated songs. Black by Pearl Jam really hit home. I felt the emotion and heaviness of this book.

Another story trope I love is second chance romances. It's nice to see a couple work through their original issues with one another.

Stella is messed up and Mace is even worse. When they were originally together they kept a part of themselves hidden. Mace left and Stella didn't ask him to stay. A year later and guns are aimed, but now it's on all the Rock Chicks- including Stella. The Hot Bunch are back and doing their best to protect their women, but also keep Mace in check.

"Let that be a lesson to you, do not ever bring donuts into a Southern woman's home. Southern women feed their guests and not with donuts. Comprende?" she snapped.
"Fuck, woman. You got a screw loose or what?"

This book was heavier than the former ones. It was still as good, but it was more gut wrenching. My heart ached for Stella. My heart felt like someone was clawing at it because of Mace.

On the bright side, the Rock Chicks and The Hot Bunch aka The Hot Boy Brigade make this story funny as hell. Nothing makes me smile like Ally and Indy being nuts.

Overall, this was nice. I'd highly recommend listening to every song mentioned. It sets the scene and you feel the emotions you're meant to feel.

"Do you think if I walk outside, someone will shoot me?"
"It's a possibility," Ally told me.
"Then that's my next move," I replied and stood up.
