Rock Chick Reawakening is filled with so much excellence including some cameo appearances by some of my favorite people, but most of all this book is filled with the love of two people who deserved every bit of happiness they brought into each other’s lives.

EXCERPT:

Her face was stunning. Wide smile. White teeth and a good deal of them. Big eyes. Elegant nose. Soft cheekbones. All of this she highlighted with the expert use of makeup from what was clearly a gift of superior genes into something that shone like a Hollywood starlet.

A starlet of a stripper who looked a good deal like Dolly Parton, who also likely got home the night before, earliest, three in the morning, and was right then, only hours later, back on the stage helping another girl by teaching her some moves.

“Marcus, brother,” Smithie’s voice came at him. “You got a problem with the way I do business, and I give you reason to have that problem, then we have a talk. I don’t give you that reason, we don’t have conversations like this one. That’s our deal.”

Marcus listened to him while he watched Daisy talking to the other girl and then she ran across the stage, doing it gracefully in platform sandals, her stone-washed jeans tight on her ass and hips and all the way down her legs. Still, after she ran the four steps, she launched herself high, grabbing on to the pole at least three feet higher than she was, her body swinging around by just her hands.

When the swing ended, she climbed up the pole, hand over hand. Doing this quickly, taking herself up another four feet, she flipped her bottom half over, wrapping her skinny legs around the pole. She dropped back, her hair flowing down, and with her only hold on the pole being her legs, she arched her back and slid down slowly, somehow circling the pole as she did it.

She ended this doing a layout with her hands on the floor, her legs in slow and controlled movements coming over her head one after the other. Her hands pushing off, she was up.

Standing straight with perfect posture.

A Message from Kristen:

Dear Reader,

I’m beside myself with glee that this prequel to my Rock Chick series has been unleashed! There was some time when I never thought I’d write it. When I couldn’t be in that terrible place with Daisy. But I’m oh-so glad that she called to me, demanding her story be told so she could give it to me and now I can give it to you! I loved every moment spent with Daisy and Marcus. And I hope you do too!

About ROCK CHICK REAWAKENING:

From New York Times bestselling author, Kristen Ashley, comes the long-awaited story of Daisy and Marcus, Rock Chick Reawakening. A prequel to Kristen’s Rock Chick series, Rock Chick Reawakening shares the tale of the devastating event that nearly broke Daisy, an event that set Marcus Sloan—one of Denver’s most respected businessmen and one of the Denver underground’s most feared crime bosses—into finally making his move to win the heart of the woman who stole his.

Review copy provided with no expectations

So, Kristen Ashley just outdid herself with the prequel to the Rock Chick series, Rock Chick Reawakening. This is the story a lot of the Rock Chick posse has been after for years and let me just say it was soooooo worth the wait. Daisy and Marcus Sloan were fixtures throughout the Rock Chick series and this is their story, their start, their everything, and I am blown away at the emotional rollercoaster this book took me on and how it left me feeling fulfilled. This is a novella that reads like a novel and it is everything I could have hoped for and more.

I loved so much about this book but mostly I loved that Ms. Ashley gave us a glimpse into the very young lives of Daisy and Marcus which allowed the reader to see where they came from, what motivated them, and why they did the things they did. Having this history was key to the people they have become and while I always got a kick out of Daisy and loved the way she always jumped in to help anyone in need, understanding why and seeing where her strength came from was a huge bonus. I’ll admit Marcus was one of those characters that I was a bit ambivalent about, but after this book Marcus is a hero all other hero’s should hope to be. Damn that man, he totally stole my heart.

Their relationship wasn’t easy especially at the beginning and they had a lot of ups and downs given the circumstances they were dealing with, but what was noticeable was that Marcus never lost focus of what he wanted which was a life with Daisy, and Daisy proved time and time again that she wasn’t a pushover, she was always going to look after herself, and that despite everything that happened in her life she expected any man in it to treat her with the respect she deserved. Marcus was absolutely up to that task and took pride is making sure Daisy knew he always would be.

I could go on and on about this book because seriously I am on such a book high right now, I don’t want to come down, but I want you to read it for yourself so I’m going to encourage you to buy it and do just that. If you are a Rock Chick fan I know you will love this book as much as I did and if you haven’t read the Rock Chick series, this is a perfect place to start at the beginning and believe me you will not be sorry. Rock Chick Reawakening is filled with so much excellence including some cameo appearances by some of my favorite people, but most of all this book is filled with the love of two people who deserved every bit of happiness they brought into each other’s lives. Thank you Kristen Ashley for giving Daisy and Marcus their words and thank you Liz Berry and the 1001 Dark Nights team for giving her a home for this beautiful story.

Oh and by the way, these aren’t just 5 plain stars, no freakin’ way these are 5 special SPARKLE stars because according to Daisy, “Every girl needs a little sparkle however she can get it…” and I totally agree with her!

About Kristen Ashley:

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorize and she hadn’t taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen’s Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning.

Nothing’s changed.

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she’s blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.

And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.
