Another amazing series from a great rockstar author!
Rockstars you say? YES, I say! Raw and steamy just like rock and roll is supposed to be. Raven is a strong woman and man, did I love her.
This book is FREE right now! I love Michelle Mankin’s sexy spins and rock star goodness. FREE – run, grab it. You’ll fly through this book.
What would you do if you caught your rocker boyfriend doing a groupie on a surprise visit to see him? Raven decided to go out on a drunk and then make a wild rant on social media about how it’s time to turn the tables on these rockers and give them a taste of their own medicine. She was forming a club where she would be the one picking which rocker she wanted for sex and then leave as soon as the deed was done. This sounds like a great idea for a change until she gets signed for a reality tv show and HAS to do this ten times at various venues across the U.S. while being filmed. So who wouldn’t like being the one to have your choice of which rocker she was going to do? It sounds great that is unless you met someone who is perfect in every way. I fell in love with Lucky myself and who wouldn’t; he was a fantastic lead singer in a band from England who was every bit of tall, dark and handsome and who knew how to make you feel special. Will Lucky stick around while Raven finishes her contract or will the idea with her with other men and at times even witnessing the production of her picking her rocker for the night out be too much for him to handle? The supporting characters are primed for their own books as well and I’d love to hear what happens with Skye and Rocky.
I received this book as an ARC for a freely given and honest review.
With the anticipation of the next two books in this series about to hit the market, I highly recommend readers start with this book, Rock F*ck Club. Mankin introduces you to characters you’ll fall in love with and rockers you’ll love to hate.
“Friends are like the family you get to choose. Right?”
Yes, that cover is an attention getter. Right? It was a double whammy for me being a Rockstar Romance Addict. It was like I knew what I was gonna get before I turned the first page. I was expecting #GirlPower #SexDrugsRockNRoll #GroupieAction #BackstagePASSion. And, I guess I did get all of those things to a degree, but I also got so much more than that. The author did more than make me laugh, and melt during the sexy scenes, she touched my emotions too.
From the beginning, I had a girl crush on her best friend Marsha. She was there for her bestie without question, loving her unconditionally and having her back no matter what she needed. When her rocker boyfriend cheated on her, breaking her heart and her self-confidence, Marsha was there with drinks, support, and a video camera to document her drunken declaration. And thus Rock F*ck Club was born. An overnight YouTube viral sensation that had women everywhere raising their fists in support. Before she even recovered from her hangover she had offers coming at her left and right. Too late to turn back now. Right?
What started out as fun took a turn when reality set in. Choices made in the dark eventually came to light and sometimes the lines between yes and no get blurred. “Things weren’t always the way they seemed.” That was the case for both the characters and myself. The story is told from the female’s POV and though I was inside her head, I missed things right along with her. Her misconceptions and revelations were at times obvious to me but took her a little longer to grasp. The author was sneaky that way, making me yearn for things that I wanted to pan out. Giving me a glimpse of possibility without a guarantee to back it up, leaving me hanging and hoping as the story played out.
As I mentioned previously, my emotions were engaged, and I got very attached to the characters in this story. By the time I approached the end, I was very relieved to know that it was only the first book in a series and I had more to look forward to. The line forms here…
Wow! Rockstar romance the way I love it! H-O-T and amazingly written. I highly recommend this book.
A totally different take on the typical rock star romance, and it works! Loved the girl power message.
I love this book. Raven walked in on her boyfriend with another woman and decided that woman can own their own sexuality and decide their own faith. Raven never expected to find her soulmate while being on her quest. Lucky came out of nowhere and rocked Raven’s world. I love how Lucky was able to bring Ravens life back to completion.
Love this book!
This author was unknown to me, when I was given the chance to read an ARC of this book. I read over the description of it, and it caught my interest, so I decided to read it. From what I had read, I knew it would be hot, and it is, sizzling hot, but it is also so much more. It grabbed my attention at the beginning of the book, and kept it throughout. I am a very responsible person, and rarely miss work, but I have to very quietly say, I could not put it down, so I called out of work to finish it. In the midst of that hotness, there is also a story of growing up, forgiveness, and love. This is love between friends, in the family, and that one true love. Then, there is also sexy rock stars. I loved Lucky and his family, which also included his rock band. They are very special. Without giving anything way, the ending is just the best. I voluntarily reviewed this advance copy, and now that I have found this author, I plan to read more of hers. (less)
Love this series. Its time the tables were turned.
OMG, I loved this one. I was super excited when I was offered an ARC. I had my fan-girl moment and jumped around with excitement. After reading the blurb how could you not want to read this one. 10 cities in two weeks 10 famous rockstars and she gets to pick who the rockstars are. Raven is such a likeable character. I got sucked into her story and didn’t want to put it down. She’s sick of being cheated on and it’s her turn to have fun. With that I expected a super raunchy read. At 5% I was ready to cry and I’m not a cryer. The scene with Raven sitting on her brother’s bed, OMG I have been there too and my heart broke for her. After that part was over I took a couple of calming breaths and got into the sexy rockstars. Lucky at first seemed like a cocky rockstar but my first impression of him was off. Lucky is really an amazing guy. I was rooting for him and Raven pretty early on. Then something happens and I was shocked and if I was a kindle thrower I would have thrown my kindle. I totally understand why Raven did what she did but it still didn’t make me not mad at her. This one definitely kept me hooked. This one is one of those drop everything and read now books
The first in a series of six, that has two books per couple focus. This one starts Lucky and Raven. It is gritty, holds nothing back and doesn’t shy away from brutal honesty when it comes to sexual matters. Raven is hurting, but has done her fair share of hurt. Lucky wants a shot in her life as she ventures through the RFC journey to screwing the rockers and leaving them in her wake. But, Raven started this because she is tired of being the one left behind and that means there is no room left for true love. I really enjoyed this first novel, what I was missing was more backstory into Raven’s history. More than likely it will come with the second in her tale.
HOT HOT HOT
Intense Read – 5 Stars
A very unique story line; most definitely original and reads very well. There was an urge almost to continue reading from one hurdle to the next, until matters had all been sorted out and the two main male and female characters can have their happily ever after. A fair amount of reconciliation and forgiveness in this tale. There is an overlay of family throughout the story, albeit family of blood vs family of choice. The other message I took away from this story besides kinship, was friendship, extremely loving and exceedingly loyal. From the beginning moments of this story, through to a beautiful (both literally and figuratively ) conclusion. Thank you Ms. Mankin for an intense read!
I knew this one was going to be good but didn’t know just how good.
When Raven finds her rocker boyfriend with another woman, she ends things with him. She calls the one person she needs during a time like this. Marsha is her BFF and Raven needs Marsha and tequila.
While drinking she is also ranting about the ex, Marsha is videoing it all. What Raven doesn’t know is that Marsha is uploading it and the video is getting millions of hits.
So that is how the Rock F*ck Club got started. Sounded like something that could get her cheating ex-boyfriend off of her mind. That is until she meets Lucky, another lead singer of a rock band. While Raven is drawn to Lucky, she seems to push him away.
While this story takes us on a tour of 10 cities and 10 different rock stars, you will not believe some of the things that will happen. While this road trip seems to be a fun lovefest, it is more. There is family, friendship, trust, loyalty, happiness, confusion, love, and HEA.
While this story was a wild roller coaster ride with a different rock star, it also teaches us that friends are always there when we need them.
This is a first for me from this author and I can not wait to dive into more.
I have so many feelings to unpack after finishing this book that I barely know where to start.
That blurb definitely caught my eye and I was looking forward to a woman flipping the script on the guys. At the beginning I will admit I had to beat back thoughts based on some of society’s views about what is “right” or “wrong”, but that didn’t last long. The conflicting feels really started by the time Raven got to the second guy out of her goal of ten. I expected a lot of hot, crazy fun but the story took a decided turn away from that.
Raven found the one person who spoke to her heart very early on, but she found herself trapped by commitments, contracts and her past mistakes and she made choices that I just wanted to shake her for. Having read many of this author’s past stories, I knew that her couples’ paths to happiness were never easy ones- yet this one still surprised me and disappointed me in some ways. When Raven started to feel miserable, of course the reader does too and that sucked a lot of my enjoyment out of the story.
That’s not to say there weren’t some smokin’ hot moments because oh there definitely were some! Her chosen guy gives us a lot of reasons to love him, and I couldn’t help but root for them when all was said and done. I also loved the appearances by characters from the author’s other series and I am feeling a need to revisit some of them now although the timelines feel a little jumbled in my head. Raven’s relationship with her best friend Marsha and her newly formed friendship with Sky were high points too. So with that said, I guess it is on to the next one to see how it all shakes out!
This book has a good premise but may offend some people. I find it a good . Humorous.
Raven is on a mission… she is out to forget her cheating rockstar ex and claim her sexual identity one rocker at a time. Love that she has her bestie along for the ride.
It is surprising how empowering being a bad girl (wink wink) can be. Of course you know what they say about the best laid plans. Yep she manages finds love on her journey of self discovery.
This story definitely has some naughty going on. It is not you traditional love story and plan for the wildness of the rockstar lifestyle. On to book two to finish her story (eek).
Happy Reading Everyone! XOXO
