REVIEW: Rock Chick Revenge by Kristen Ashley
Ava hates men, she has
reason and she’s vowed not only never to get involved with another one again
but also to exact vengeance on her best friend’s, lying, cheating husband.
Since Luke, Ava’s childhood crush, is now a private investigator, she thinks to
enlist him but changes her mind at the last second.
Too late, Luke knows she’s up to something and he’s already
seen many a Rock Chick try to fight her own battles without the Hot Bunch
stepping in. He’s having none of it. She’s having none of him. The clash of the
Rock Chick and Hot Guy begins but Luke’s got the advantage. He has handcuffs
and he’s not afraid to use them.
We get more of the Rock Chick crew,
more of the newly named HOT BUNCH, (yum) plus a side dose this time of car
chases, kidnappings, and a hostage situation. Not to mention Ava had a crazy ex
who Luke went after that seriously backfired. And let me just say the way Luke
and Ava handled that situation was perfection.
Of course we get all of the hilarity out of this installment
just like the others. Smithie finds himself tree'd with two dogs standing
guard. Tex still yells at the customers and plays favorites on who is next in
line and the girls still like all of their shopping, gossiping, and bad ideas.
It was just the most awesome book. So awesome, I don't really know how to move
on to the next one.

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.

REVIEW: The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley
Circe Quinn goes to
sleep at home and wakes up in a corral filled with women wearing sacrificial
virgin attire - and she is one of them. She soon finds out that she’s not
having a wild dream, she’s living a frightening nightmare where she’s been
transported to a barren land populated by a primitive people and in short
order, she’s installed very unwillingly on her white throne of horns as their
Queen.
Dax Lahn is the king of Suh Tunak, The Horde of the nation of
Korwahk and with one look at Circe, he knows she will be his bride and together
they will start The Golden Dynasty of legend.
Circe and Lahn are separated by language, culture and the
small fact she’s from a parallel universe and has no idea how she got there or
how to get home. But facing challenge after challenge, Circe finds her footing
as Queen of the brutal Korwahk Horde and wife to its King, then she makes
friends then she finds herself falling in love with this primitive land, its
people and especially their savage leader.
It was a rough start. Not because it
was bad or anything, well, the events that took place were. It begins with
Circe, a young woman from modern Seattle waking up in a pen with other women in
an unknown world. She has no idea how she got there, all she knows is that some
of the other women look as terrified as she feels. When she asks what is
happening, she learns that the Wife hunt will shortly begin.
The Korwahk warriors will hunt them
down to claim as their wife. From that moment on I was completely hooked to
this story. I was as scared as Circe was. Yes, there was a rape scene in this
book that happens during the Wife hunt.
It was tough to get through and it
made me hurt for Circe. But, I was captivated by this foreign world that Circe
found herself in.
