Overall Thoughts: I am in the minority where Rock Chick Revenge by Kristen Ashley is concerned. Everybody else LURVED it!.
It had my least favorite troupe ever though: Girl loses weight and get the guy (and then like 4 more falling all over her). I think it demeans both characters but that is just me. Otherwise the action was great! The humor was there and freaking hilarious! The over the top TSTL combined with Spirit (which I normally hate but oddly works for this series) was there. Luke was hot!
I also noticed that this where that other trend of introducing a guy that will be a love interest later trying to get the gal in the book that is not his really started to grate on my nerves. Luke with Roxie and Jules. Vance with Roxie. Now Ren with Ava. I am not a huge fan of that because it makes it seem like they are settling later. I couldn't blame Ava when she blew her top in this book and I think she got over it a little too quick. Hopefully I won't feel that way when Ren's book comes up.
