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!

~Kristen Ashley

Praise for Kristen Ashley and ROCK CHICK REAWAKENING: 


“OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FREAKING LOVED IT!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!! This was pure Old School Vintage KA GOLD!!!”

~Aestas Book Blog


“This novella is like the key to all the locked doors in this series.”

~Angie’s Dreamy Reads


“We inhaled Marcus and Daisy’s story, how could we not. It was everything to us and we cannot thank Kristen Ashley enough for writing it, in her much loved unique manner. The queen of epilogues struck once more and we smiled through copious tears of happiness, our hearts feeling full and complete. Whilst sad that it’s over we just can’t feel anything but happiness and love right now. It was Aces! Rock on…and be prepared to be swept of off your feet.”

~Totally Booked Blog 


“[Kristen] Ashley captivates.”

~Publisher’s Weekly


“There is something about them [Ashley’s books] that I find crackalicious.”

~DearAuthor.com,Kati Brown 


“I felt all of the rushes, the adrenaline surges, the anger spikes… my heart pumping in fury. My eyes tearing up when my heart (I mean… her heart) would break.”

~Maryse’s Book Blog




The Rock Chick series is one of my favorites. I was ecstatic when I learned KA was finally writing the novella for Daisy and Marcus. These characters were very much a solid couple who were there for the girls as they came to find their soulmates in later books.

In my mind, Daisy is a younger version of a beautiful Dolly Parton. She has big hair and a big heart. She was dealt a bad hand. She had a lousy mother and an even lousier boyfriend. She leaves home when she can't take it any longer and in a new town, she makes her money stripping. She's good at it and she cares for her boss, Smithie, who's nice to all his girls. Then, something happens that threatens to destroy Daisy's view on life but Marcus is there to help her recover. He has the patience and the devotion she needs to heal. 

"You aren't weak, Daisy"
It was so nice going back to the Rock Chick world. Some of my favorite books are part of this series. I love the Hot bunch and their girls. They are all special and so was Daisy and Marcus. 

Daisy is sweet and caring. She deserved someone who would give her the castle she deserved. Marcus is dangerous, has a not so legal job but there was no doubt he would do anything for his Daisy. 

Rock Chick Reawakening is classic KA!

Cliffhanger: No

A complimentary copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.











“Who’s that tall, dark drink of handsome water?” I asked Ashlynn, my eyes on the tall man with broad shoulders and fabulous suit who was sauntering out of the club in the manner of a man who owned it.

In the manner of a man who owned anything he wanted.

“Don’t go there,” Ashlynn answered.

I looked to Ashlynn.

“What, sugar?”

She shook her head. “He’s hot. Knew a girl who’s had him and I’ll repeat, he’s hot. Took her out four times. All to fancy restaurants where she had to buy fancy dresses and shoes. And he gave it to her good at the end of the night, and I mean real good, the way she described it. He also, like, opened the car door for her and everything.”

Opened the car door for her.

And everything.

Oh my.

“Ended it with her giving her a gold bracelet,” Ashlynn carried on, recapturing my attention. “Pure class.” Her look got intense as she stared into my eyes. “And he’s trouble.”

I glanced to the door that he’d obviously gone through because he’d disappeared, then back to Ashlynn.

“Trouble?”

Ashlynn didn’t answer that question.

She just shook her head again and declared, “He wouldn’t date a stripper anyway. Like I said. He’s class.”

I felt my mouth get tight.




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.
