      I loved this story, and as my daughter's name is Sadie Maire you can understand some of the reasons i liked the heroine.
    • 5/5
      Don't think I ever went from tears to laughing so much in one book. I can't decide which one of this serie is my favorite I love them all! I can't wait to read Ally's story!
    • 5/5
      4.5 stars
      Romeo and Juliet if Romeo was DEA and Juliet was the mob boss's daughter.

      Sadie and Hector are my favorite Rock Chick couple. Their story really rang true for me. (I did think Sadie worked the "I'm tainted blood" line a little long; other than that it was really good.)
    • 5/5
      Okay, now I can't decide between Indy and Saide. This one was THE SHIT, as my Rock Chicks say! Amazing plot, amazing story line, amazing EVERYTHING! I had tears in my eyes, I had a smile on my face and about a hundred more expressions of what I was feeling while reading this masterpiece. The ending was SO SWEET. It was probably a six stars rating, but we work with what we have. UNBELIEVABLE! Can't wait for the next and final one. Ally is going to have her story and we'll all go to town with it. o/

      I said I was done with Ashley, then I couldn't help myself and started this one. I'm so weak.

      I had the same annoyances with this book as I did all her others, but the story was a bit darker and touched me more. I even teared up a couple times.

      Stop judging me. I have an illness and can't help myself. Stupid crack books.
    • 5/5
      First off I just want to know if it is weird to have a crush on a fictional character?? No, OK then, I admit it. I love Hector!!

      As I have read each book in this series I have fallen more in love with all of the characters and it feels like I am checking in on friends each time we meet them again.

      We get straight into it in Rock Chick 7. The first few chapters already had me tearing up and gasping. Sadie comes in and rocks the world of the entire Hot Bunch, the Rock Chicks and then some. I immediately felt for Sadie and just wanted to give her a huge hug and make all the pain go away. She is tough and strong but extremely vulnerable and my heart went out to her from page one. She is such a loving person, that just wants to have genuine friends and to be herself, but she has to find her real self first and that is the beauty of her journey in this book.

      Not long after the first few pages, my love affair with Hector begins... He is so gentle, possessive, loving, kind, compassionate, protective, intense and such a swoon-worthy romantic that he has seared a place in my heart. The intimate moments between Sadie and Hector are just so *sigh* touching, loving and romantic that I teared up on a number of occasions.

      We see the Hot Bunch displaying such unconditional protective, loving ways that it really kept hitting me right in the chest, brought a lump to my throat, started my heart beating faster and made me long to have friends like them. Oh and they are just so sexy at the same time.

      Once again, KA writes a great Epilogue and I cannot wait till #8 comes out although it will be bitter sweet because that means it is the end of the series.
    • 5/5
      I don't know how to rate this book more than the 5 stars because it deserves way more then 5.....there is not a bad book in the entire series and this one tops them all
    • 5/5
      Quiet honestly, I loved this book. From the beginning, I was enthralled with Sadie and her ability to withstand everything thrown at her. Hector was magnificent and complementary to Sadie's growing character (not to mention HOT). I actually was emotionally involved with Sadie by the second chapter... don't think an author ever got that kind of emotional reaction out of me right off the bat, well done Kristen Ashley. Rock Chick Regret blew me away with the first chapter and had me hanging on till the end.
