SURPRISE!!!! I’m thrilled to be a part of Kristen Ashley’s 50th birthday extravaganza!! To mark this momentum occasion, she has released a brand-new story in the ROCK CHICK series, ROCK CHICK REBORN, AND the series has brand-new covers!!! Happy reading and ROCK ON!!
SYNOPSIS:
As a Rock Chick, Shirleen Jackson lived through all the kidnappings and explosions. Along the way, she also watched the dramatic love stories that came with those rides unfold.
But long ago, Shirleen made her choice. It affected who she was and would always be. She decided to settle for what she had and not want more. She had good friends. She was raising two fine young men who weren’t hers, but she loved them anyway.
She was good.
And then Moses Richardson crashed into her life, literally…and deliberately.
Moses has different ideas about Shirleen. He’s more interested in the Shirleen of now, mostly because she’s interesting. And funny. And loyal. Smart. Beautiful.
But Moses has a big challenge on his hands.
He has to convince Shirleen of all that.
And then convince her she deserves to have more.
MY REVIEW:
“We gotta be in our nows, … Not in the future, which we don’t know what’s gonna happen and we got no control over it anyway. The now. Right now. Where it’s good.”
YAY! Shirleen Jackson finally gets her own story. AND a HEA, too!!
Fans of the Rock Chick series know that Shirleen shows up early on, actually as a criminal boss but as someone who really bonds with the other women and has a heart of gold. She and Darius later gave up their criminal operations, and Shirleen goes to work for Lee as his receptionist.
I LOVED reading about this gorgeous middle-aged black woman who was described in the earlier books as having “beautiful mocha skin and the biggest afro I’d ever seen, but it suited her perfectly. She had magnificent eyes.”
I think it is more than fitting that on the occasion of Ms. Kristen Ashley’s 50th birthday, that she wrote a story about a 53-year-old woman!! Shirleen had a terrible marriage (to Leon) and is COMPLETELY taken by surprise by the handsome and KIND Moses Richardson. Who of course, since this is a Rock Chick book after all, gets the full investigation by the Hot Bunch before Shirleen even goes on one date!
Shirleen and Moses “meet cute” and it is all beauty from that point forward.
“I’d lived through hell. And there I was, near tears in the bakery section of King Soopers. Because I wanted a badass. I wanted to be adored, beloved, worshipped by a good man who saw nothing but good in me. I’d wanted that for as long as I could remember. And it wasn’t going to happen. Not for me. Never for me. Because life was unfair. But the worst of it was… I’d made it that way.”
Expect another fast-paced, funny, heart-warming and sexy story and enjoy this gift from Kristen Ashley to her devoted fans. Happy ever-after guaranteed.
“I love my now.”
The whole series is now on SALE!!
