ROCK CHICK REAWAKENING (Rock Chick #0.5) by KRISTEN ASHLEY

“You are beautiful. You’re funny. You’re challenging, and by that I mean stubborn, and even if it can be aggravating, I still like it….I’d commit murder to hear you laugh again…But even with all that, darling, you are a serious pain in the ass.”

Be still our beating hearts. We just read the ONE story we’ve been waiting for over the last few years. The one we’ve always hoped and wished for. The Rock Chick book that in a way would bring us complete closure, because wow, we’ve always been wanting to hear Daisy and Marcus’ story. Well, let us tell you, their story was everything and more. It brought that warm fuzzy feeling of being back with  much loved friends, through the brilliance of Kristen Ashley. We swooned once more, we cried bucket loads of tears and we remembered all the craziness and passion. It was utterly perfect and so damn romantic and nostalgic.

“Stop turning me on,” I warned

“Stop being cute,” he fired back

I stuck my tongue out at him.

He watched it then looked in my eyes. “That didn’t work.”

“Whatever,” I muttered.

We’ve loved Daisy from the moment we met her, how could we not? She’s got style, sass and definitely her own brand of class. She’s the friend you wished you had and who could deny her anything, all she’d have to do is call us ‘Sugar’ and we’d be putty in her hands. There was always a melancholy though associated with her and in this book we find out exactly the why’s and how’s. It was heart-breaking and so emotional but this girl has an inner strength that’d slay men. The romance, support, respect and total adoration Marcus showed her….seriously we melted into puddles on the floor, our hearts pounding and swooning in equal measure.

“I handle you with care. I’ll always handle you with care. I will never, not ever, Daisy, give you reason to leave me. I won’t cheat on you. I won’t beat you…..To end, you’re safe with me. You’ll get from me only what you deserve, which is everything I can give you doing it handling you with care.”

Marcus Sloane is a formidable man and as we discovered his back story and heard of his journey we lost our hearts all over again to this amazing man. He’s quite literally the epitome of perfection. When Marcus loves he LOVES, and will do absolutely anything in his power to make it known and the way in which he shows it…well this man is quite simply amazing.

“A dream,” she murmured.

“Sorry?”

“You. You’re the dream a girl like me never thought she could dream.”

We inhaled Marcus and Daisy’s story, how could we not. It was everything to us and we cannot thank Kristen Ashley enough for writing it, in her much loved unique manner. The queen of epilogues struck once more and we smiled through copious tears of happiness, our hearts feeling full and complete. Whilst sad that it’s over we just can’t feel anything but happiness and love right now. It was Aces! Rock on…and be prepared to be swept off of your feet.

“You’re safe now.”

“I’ve never been safe.”

“Okay, darling, but you’re safe now.”

“I wanna believe that. I wanna believe in castles.”

“You’ll believe,” he whispered.
