#2 in the Rock Chick series

1/22/25 to 2/2/25 - 5 stars - Now that I've listened to this whole series and am starting over again, I just love this series. It's entertaining, fast-moving, and adorable. The characters are great! Jet has always taken care of herself and everyone around her, so she's having a hard time adjusting to Indy and Eddie and the whole gang wanting to help her. She's been taking care of her mother after her stroke, struggling with finances and working two jobs. In addition, s #2 in the Rock Chick series

1/22/25 to 2/2/25 - 5 stars - Now that I've listened to this whole series and am starting over again, I just love this series. It's entertaining, fast-moving, and adorable. The characters are great! Jet has always taken care of herself and everyone around her, so she's having a hard time adjusting to Indy and Eddie and the whole gang wanting to help her. She's been taking care of her mother after her stroke, struggling with finances and working two jobs. In addition, she has gotten involved with some very bad guys because her deadbeat (but likeable) father owes them money. There's one disaster after another, and she is crazy enough to jump right in with both feet, often putting herself in more danger because of her impulsiveness and defiance. (She's constantly trying out "the glare" which never works because everyone just thinks she's adorable.) She has no idea how attractive she is, even though everyone else sees it and can all completely understand why Eddie (the good-looking cop) is crazy about her. Between everyone, Jet comes through the problems and ends up with Eddie as her b-word (boyfriend), soon to be the m-word (her man). So cute and very well read by Susannah Jones who provides a lot of attitude and emphasis.

12/12/17 to 12/15/17 - 4 stars - The first in this series was disappointing, so I've been putting off listening to this book, but it turned out to be totally different--so much better! A solid 4-star rating, or even a little higher. India was an annoying character, but Jet is cute and funny and very appealing. She's been taking care of her family for years, and she's used to being independent. When she finds herself in a dangerous situation because of her deadbeat father, she finds it tough to ask for and accept help. But it was so heartwarming to watch her experience their friendship. Eddie is a great hero. He's a cop who has had his eye on Jet for a while, but she's been resisting mostly because she doesn't have any sense of how cute and hot she really is. When she's attacked, he goes into protective mode and brings her closer, despite her resistance. What I liked about Eddie is that he is definitely hot-blooded and alpha, but not overpoweringly so. He never forced himself on her, but he often used his body to press her up against the truck or whatever to make her listen to him. They were so cute with their constant bickering, but then their intimate moments were very hot! Lots of amusing moments, entertaining interactions. Great to revisit with characters from Book #1 like Indie, sexy Lee, funny Todd and Stevie, crazy Allie, hot Hank, and the whole Nightingale Investigations crew. Great new character of Daisy, former Smithy's stripper and current wife of a bad guy. Very well narrated by Susannah Jones--great voice differentiations and inflections. ...more

3.75 stars rounded to 4.

This is the second book in Kristen Ashley’s Rock Chick series. I am finding this a very funny and sometimes laugh out loud series and am really enjoying her reading style. Ms. Ashley is a no frills writer, and I really like that as her writing is straight forward and simple – no bubbling words coming out of these apha males. These books lend themselves to a cozy read, which I need right now.

Jet doesn’t realize how manipulative that her family is, especially her father who ...more

I re-read "Rock Chick", then proceeded with the second, Rock Chick Rescue" (and truth to tell the third as well).

They're formulaic. We meet a plain-Jane (she thinks) heroine, who meets a fantastic looking guy. Their eyes lock in recognition and a tingling feeling zings her "hoo hah" (the author's term). Our alpha male hero, also having felt a tingle or two, sets out to wear down, to convince the heroine that they are made for each other. Our heroine grows, overcoming her tentativeness, and a HEA ...more

Jet McAlister, the newest employee of Fortnum's Bookstore, is completely oblivious to that fact that the police detective, Eddie Chavez, is interested in her. Jet is always busy doing whatever she has to do to take care of her family. Her loser father has abandoned them and Jet also works parttime as a waitress in a strip joint to take care of her mother who's still recovering from a stroke.

When her dad comes back to town he owes a lot of money to criminals who want to be paid back. They're not ...more

Once again I have to say that I cringe with some of the stereotypes. I read books about alpha men all the time who get unreasonable about their women slighting them in some way or another., of all shades and colors. But because Eddie is mexican-american, according to the author, "they tended to be both proud and macho". I just didn't like that. It's not the first time this author has generalized in a way that I thought was a bit sketchy. But this one was blatant and kind of turned me off.
