Series: Rock Chick #6

Book Whisperer Rating:
Stella’s
the lead singer and lead guitarist of the Blue Moon Gypsies and Stella used to
be Mace’s girl. Mace broke up with her though and the loss of him rocked her
world. But Stella gets a call, late at night (again) from one of the members of
her crazy band. She has to go play clean up (again) and runs into Mace (and a
shed load of police) and ends up getting shot.
Mace finds
he doesn’t like it much that his ex-girlfriend got shot, right in front of him
but it’s worse. A very bad man has thrown down the gauntlet and ALL the Rock
Chicks are in the firing line. Stella doesn’t want Mace to be the one to keep
her alive but she has no choice… mainly because Mace isn’t giving her one.
This story from the Rock Chick series is different from all the
others. Stella and Mace had a lot more
angst than the other characters coupling because of their tormented past
between each other and their past in general.
Because of this angst, it was harder for me to connect with their love
in the beginning. I felt their lust for
each other, I felt their want for each other but when the moment hit when their
love for each other was exposed, oh my! To
see hard, demon filled Mace finally let his walls down and let Stella in made
me joyous. I feel that Stella and Mace was
a couple that really had to work hard for their relationship and love to be
strong compared to the other Rock Chick couples. This made Rock Chick Reckoning a more heart-breaking read. Totally worth the heart-break!
I liked how KA brought the other couples POVs in to this
plot. Instead of the story focusing on
the troubles of Mace and Stella only, all Rock Chick couples were in danger and
as a reader, I got to read mostly from Stella POV but I got read from the others
character’s POV. This was a nice twist in the plot because the men were ready
to lay low to protect their loved ones (and you get to read why they decide
this) but when it came time for action, a war started and fury was let
loose. I also like experiencing how
the other couples perceived Stella and Mace together; how they slowly witnessed Mace open up.
Another great story from KA.
