BookWhisperer Rating:

Roxie’s on the run from a bad boyfriend who will not catch the hint that it is o-v-e-r. She’s in no mood for love at first sight, but when her eyes fall on Hank, it’s trouble from the get-go. Roxie tries to hold Hank at arms length but Hank wants to be a closer (as in, a lot closer). Roxie’s trouble catches up with her and Hank wants to help but Roxie knows in her heart that she’s no good for a white hat guy. The problem is no one agrees with her, especially her crazy hippie best friend Annette or her parents; the even crazier small-Indiana-town Herb and Trish. Toss into the mix the gang from Rock Chick and Rock Chick Rescue and Roxie finds herself totally outnumbered.

Climb in for another Rock Chick wild ride through Rock Chick Redemption. As the odds stack up against Roxie, she has no choice but to hold on and just ride it out through the kidnappings, car chases, society parties, a riot at the strip club, Hank getting “Mom Bombed” and one crazy night at the Haunted House.

During all this Hank works at convincing her she really wants to stay and he, along with the Hot Bunch, go all out to make her safe. Hank also needs to work on showing Roxie that her past decisions don’t mean her future can’t include something as downright delicious as… normal.

By far, hands down, my favorite Rock Chick book and my favorite leading man of the Rock Chick series. This book had so much more insane drama, crazy family members, more detailed and intimate moments between Hank and Roxie that it has become the top of the tops in this series.

Spoilers!!!

Hank is my kind of man in so man ways. First, he just goes for Roxie, all out. When he gets her in bed, he tells her that now she is his and her problems are his to take care of and will keep her safe. But, holy crap, that part when he goes for a run and Billy breaks into his house and kidnaps Roxie was just SO insane that I couldn’t not put down my book even though it was way past my bedtime. I had to know what was going to happen; I had to know that Hank was going to kick Billy’s teeth in for even thinking about touching Roxie. However, my heart sank into the deep, dark sea when Hank didn’t call her after she was rescued by Vance. I think I slipped into a small, minor depression. And let me just say, this all happens in the beginning of the book so there is so much more that take place after these events.

I felt that the reader got more background on Roxie than we have in the previous books for the main female leads. To me, this made me connect more with Roxie and I felt stronger about every situation that she was put in. I loved that Roxie is Tex’s niece and that they start to build this wonderful connection between each other when she rolls into town. I also loved getting to read more about Luke. I am going to love his story when I get to it.

The one theme that I see in this series is that none of these women want to start a serious relationship with the men at first; they are all very hesitant. The men, however, know immediately that this is their women, end of story. All I could think of while reading these three stories is “why in the world would any woman say no to a relationship with them? I mean, they super sexy!”
