REVIEW: Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley
Indy Savage, cop's daughter, rock chick and used bookstore
owner, has been in love with Lee Nightingale, once bad boy, now the man behind
Nightingale Investigations, since she was five years old. No matter what
ingenious schemes Indy used to capture his attention, Lee never showed an
interest and Indy finally gave up. Now Indy's employee, Rosie, has lost a bag
of diamonds and bad guys are shooting at him. When Indy gets involved, Lee is
forced to help. Complicating matters, Lee has decided he's interested, Indy's
decided she's not. But she can't seem to keep Lee out of her life when she's
repeatedly stun gunned, kidnapped and there are car bombs exploding (not to
mention she's finding dead bodies).
Indy's best bet is to solve the mystery of the diamonds before Lee. Lee's challenge is to keep Indy alive and, at the same time, win back her heart.
A really funny light read, loved the lead couple and
would have enjoyed a bit more one on one between them. I really loved all the
different crazy characters in this book and would love to meet Tex. I look
forward to reading more from this series and am starting to think Kristen
Ashley is up there as one of my favourite authors.
