Summary

Sadie Townsend is known by all as The Ice Princess and she’s worked hard to earn her reputation. Her father, a now-incarcerated Drug Lord, has kept her under his thumb her whole life, and she’s learned enough from living in his world to give everyone the cold shoulder. But one inebriated night, she shows Hector the Real Sadie, and he knows he’ll stop at nothing to have her. Hector Chavez makes one (huge) mistake: he waits for Sadie to come to him. Tragedy strikes, and Sadie’s got a choice. She can retreat behind her Ice Fortress, or she can embrace the Rock Chick/Hot Bunch World. Guided by Hector, the Rock Chicks, the Hot Bunch and her new gay roommates, Buddy and Ralphie, Sadie negotiates a life out from under her father’s thumb. A life that includes poison, arson and learning how to make s’mores.

Great book. Amazing narration

I was pleasantly impressed with this book. It still has the funny and utterly amusing characters interaction as the other books, with plenty of action and sexy scenes but it also has some more weighty and emotional moments too. It not a “heavy” book but it is somehow less “fluffy” the some of the other books. Susannah Jones is OUTSTANDING in this book. Love, love, love her performance.

Blooming Heck

Susannah Jones did a fantastic job!
I struggled enjoying the story because of the sheer volume of repetition of words and phrases that were just annoying. Blooming heck. Bizarre. What’s funny? Hiding a grin. Someone tell me he didn’t just say that? The list goes on and on and on.

Additionally I found it hard to connect with the heroine after the beginning of the book, even though she went through something awful. She’s annoying, a bad day is a trauma to her. She has an argument it’s a trauma. I think the author didn’t pay enough respect to the actual trauma of the book, it’s casualness made me deduct a few stars. The fact that everyone and their dog knew someone’s trauma, no privacy, really annoyed me.

I love love Ralphie and Buddy, Bex, Tex, and Blanco. These characters had such loveable personalities, made the book better.

Lost Opportunity

the bones of the story was good but sadly relied way too much on sex for padding it out, as if written by a teenager. Narrator was good though.

Extraordinarily good narration

I always love Kristen Ashley's books but this time the narrator, Susannah Jones, out did herself. There is no other way to describe it other than brilliant. The depth of passion in her performance for a story line that was not comfortable and the portrayal of the caste of characters will probably not get the recognition she deserves.

Fantastic performance

Sadie has a great mask but nothing Hector can’t defrost. They are perfect for each other. Brilliant action packed storyline. It has triggers so be warned.

Rock Chick Regret

I CAN’T CHOOSE! TIE FOR MY FAVORITE OF THE SERIES.
Yep, I have 2 because I like them both in different ways. This is Favorite ½ lol.
I mean we get Hector “Oh my God” Chavez! Jumps up and down… I mean really!

Sadie and Hector’s story:
This story by far is the most emotional for me, not to say the other books didn’t have their fair share of emotions. This book made me cry and tear up multiple times and not just once but every time I re read it.

Sadie isn’t your average every day girl, she grew up with a father who was head of crime and drugs. No real affection after the passing of her mother. She hasn’t had a real genuine friend all her life. So she protects herself with armor, whether that’s designer clothes or the facade of Sadie the Ice Princess. Who never lets anyone close because she never knew if they were there for her or to get to her father.

“It only matters if there’s someone to care if you don’t wake up. It’s okay if I don’t wake up because there’s no one to care.” – Sadie

The book starts of right away with rape and I know what you’re thinking it’s going to be a downer she is going to be broken and upset and not a fun character. And who would blame her, rape is terrible. But that’s not Sadie she tackles what life throws at her with strength and determination like no other Rock Chick yet.

Yes she is wounded and broken but enter in Hector “Oh my God” Chavez and he helps her see the real Sadie and bring her out. He is incredible, patient and finds Sadie utterly hilarious and I love that.
Hector is also Eddie’s brother so we see Blanca again yay I love when she showed up in Eddie and Jet’s book she was funny then and she is funny in this book as well.

“If he gets up before me, he tucks the covers around me so I won’t be cold.” -Sadie

Hector is just an all-round great character. Oh and Buddy and Ralphie who are her gay best friends/family. They are who also help her heal with the aid of Veronica Mars and the best friends a girl could ask for.

‘ “Ralphie, get away from the wind,” Buddy ordered.
I lifted my head to see Ralphie holding the curtain wide and standing, bold as you please, staring out the window.
“It’s Hispanic Hottie this time,” Ralphie informed us. ‘

Emotional and Sweet

I was rocking along with this series until this book. Kidnappings, shootouts,car explosions you name it, but none as bad as what Sadie face in this book. I cry for dear Sadie. Not everyone can bounce back from being through such emotional trauma as being raped to actually be in a normal relationship with someone (Even though I would not call any of these relationship normal!!). Then again only a true Rock Chick could pull that off. These girls are in a relationships with men with bad ass jobs so they got to be hard as nail to deal yeah. Credit worthy listen folks. I am in love with this series. Kristen Ashley and Susannah Jones together makes this series a blast.

P.S. would totally watch the TV Series Rock Chicks :P

Hector vs. the Ice Princess

I love all of the Rock Chick stories, but this one is probably the most emotional. Sadie is a complex character with a lot to learn about friendship and love. She has a lot of walls built up due to her upbringing. Sadie's life is endangered after her father is incarcerated, and Hector, one of the Hot Bunch is not willing to leave her to the wolves. He is also not willing to let her close herself off to him or run away. It's another hot ride with the Rock Chicks and the Hot Bunch. The narrator in this series does a fantastic job - she's one of my favorites.

Mr Double H

This book was so good. I felt so bad for Sadie and the way she was raised. No wonder she had such an attitude. She just didn't know any better. I am so glad that Hector had the patience to wade through her ice princess fakeness!! I am so glad that at the end her barriers were broken down and she found her true self and started the road to reconciling with the father. The sex scenes were hotttt!! This makes you want to go out and find a hot bunch man!!!

Love KA's Rock Chicks!

This is one of my fave KA books and that's saying something cause I pretty much love them all. We get to see the transformation of Sadie (an outsider to the Rock Chick clan) and Hector's emergence in the Hot Bunch. If you liked the rest of the series, you'll probably enjoy this. I'd add that it has more violence against women than the earlier books (going beyond kidnapping and roughing up - one of the first chapters covers Sadie's assault) so be careful if you're tenderhearted.

As for the performance - overall, not bad. However (and I so want to put that in all CAPS), I have to ask the artist and future editors to fix the Spanish pronunciations.... or maybe they pronounce "hija" and "hijo" (daughter and son, respectively) differently up in Denver than they do here in So Texas. In this part of the world, "hija/hijo" is pronounced "eeha/eeho". "Mi hija/hijo" is usually contracted to "mee-ha/mee-ho". Now, the reason for this pronunciation lesson is because, when Sadie goes to Blanca's house for dinner, Blanca calls her mi hija but pronounces it "mee hee-ha". It is pronounced like this repeatedly, including when Jet explains what it means to Sadie. Arrgh. I loved this story in ebook form and hate that the voice artist can effect a Spanish accented English without knowing how to pronounce a few words in the language itself - there aren't even that many Spanish words and she gets "cielo" right so what gives? Again, maybe it's different up in Denver...... Yeesh. (BTW, the same pronunciation was in Jet/Eddie's story.) It won't stop me from listening to the last book but it discourages me from listening to this one again.

The evolution of Sadie

Hector met Sadie when working undercover for the DEA. His case involved Sadie's father, a Drug Dealer and bad guy supreme. Hector had his eye on Sadie during his undercover operation but had kept it to himself until it was over.

Hector waited a year for Sadie to come to him but after she was brutally raped, Hector vows to keep her safe and make her his.

This is a heartwarming story of two people falling in love under some tough circumstances and coming through it together in the end.

Again, Kristen dazzled me with this story of two good, deserving people that fall in love and find their way to happiness.

Susannah, as always, you do a kick ass job on narrating!

Keep the DEEP voices for the HERO

the performance has be great in the past but the narrator really screwed the readers on this one. The hero sounds like a teenage boy. She focused too much on trying to get the accent right that she made the "bad ass edgy hottie" sound weak as all hell. I know that the narrator doesn't sound like an actual guy but the deep inflection DOES make a difference. Too bad. This story could have been all 5s arias the board.
