That’s it! I’ve got to quit doing this. I found a new favorite couple. I swear these books just keep getting better and better. Rock Chick Regret is the 7th book in the Rock Chick series by Kristen Ashley and I loved Holy hell. This book was amazing!

That’s it! I’ve got to quit doing this. I found a new favorite couple. I swear these books just keep getting better and better. Rock Chick Regret is the 7th book in the Rock Chick series by Kristen Ashley and I loved everything about this book! Everything!

Sadie Townsend aka the Ice Princess is living a very lonely life. Her father, a well known, mostly feared and despised, drug lord, is in prison. It would come as a surprise to him and everyone else that he is there with her help. She’s never approved of his life and didn’t enjoy the fruits of his labor, as so many assumed. Now, that he is safely out of her life she can keep a low profile and just enjoy her quiet, albeit lonely life running her gallery. It would be nice to have friends, but how could anyone ever like her once they found out who her father is? Unfortunately, rivals of her fathers are making a play for his business now that he is out of the picture. Taking Sadie is part of that plan. She fears for her life and safety, for good reason and has no choice but to go to Nightingale Investigations for protection. This takes her right to Hector Chavez, the undercover ex-cop that infiltrated her father’s business and took him down.

Hector Chavez gave up his undercover DEA job after taking down Seth Townsend taking a job with Nightingale Investigations. He had his reasons and no one would doubt they were good ones. Enter Sadie Townsend, the daughter of the man he put away and the woman he’s never been able to get out of his head. Sadie is in danger and he wasn’t there to help her when she needed him the most and it won’t happen, again. Guarding her body and saving her life is the least of his jobs. Somehow, he has to convince her that she is worthy of love and friendships no matter who her father is. More importantly, he has to convince her that she is the woman for him, not because of revenge or a sense of duty.

I’m gonna say this once so pay attention. I’m not passin’ the time here, enjoyin’ a sweet, hot piece for the fuck of it. If you don’t get it yet, I’ll give it to you. What we got, it means somethin’. Do you understand?

In this book we don’t get just the wonderfully, entertaining Rock Chicks/Hot Bunch gang. We, also, get the wonderful Buddy and Ralphie. I loved how they all dealt with Sadie’s insecurities when it came to having friends and deserving them. They gave her just the right amount of patience and attitude. Everyone should be blessed with friends like these.

What happens to you happens to you but, in a way, it also happens to the people around you that care about you.

This is the best series! As in all series, some books are better than others. This was my absolute favorite, yet. I have said that before, so you know this one had to be great to top my past favorites. I absolutely can’t wait for the next book to come out. Thank goodness, it should be soon.

“The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.”
― Ted Hughes, Letters of Ted Hughes

“The man who gets Mara gets you and Billie. I’m that man. What you gotta get is, while fallin’ in love with Mara, I fell in love with you and your sister. Straight up, Bud, no lie. The feelings I feel for Mara are hers, the feelings I feel for Billie are hers and the feelings I feel for you are yours. You all have my love, not collectively, individually. Do you understand me?”

“Mitch nodded. “Right. What I mean is, I didn’t fall in love with you all as a whole. I fell in love with each of you because of who you are. I don’t care about you because you come with Mara. I care about you because you’re a good kid. You’re smart. You’re loyal. And you love and look out for your sister and Mara. I know grown men who do not have a character as fine as yours. Those are the reasons I love you. There are different reasons I love Billie. And there are different reasons I love Mara. Today, what we had together was good. But the feelings I feel for you aren’t feelings I have to have in order to have Mara. They’re feelings you earned. Now, you with me?”
― Kristen Ashley, Law Man
