Rock Chick Series

Based in Denver, the Rock Chick Series is eight books that take you on the wild ride of the courtships of the Rock Chicks and the Hot Bunch.

Rock Chick

Indy’s a former wild child (okay, maybe not so “former”) and now used bookstore owner. Lee’s a former bad boy and now runs a private investigation service. Toss together a quiet barista with a not-so-lawful side-business, a crazy Vietnam Vet, a pothead, a drag queen, family and friends who will NOT mind their own business, a few stun guns and a bag of diamonds and mix it up with some shootings, a high speed chase and car bombs exploding and you’re on the first Rock Chick wild ride.

"Rock Chick... is amazing!! Started reading last night and got to Chapter 16. It's written so well, it keeps me amused and I've even laughed out loud whilst reading which is quite a feat to get me laughing!" - Wendy Montgomery, cool craft chick from North Somerset, UK

"Dangerous Book No. 1: Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley

In a Nutshell: Insanely gorgeous and funky 'Rock Chick' heroine (with a helluvan ass) gets thrown into a dangerous world of drugs, guns and diamonds; and incidentally lands the insanely hot hero.

This is so far removed from my usual reading, I have to admit to being a little nervous, especially as I FREAKIN' KNOW THE AUTHOR (Who is awesome, by the by)! Fears of hating something written by someone I know and like were quickly erased though as I zoomed through this book at ludicrous speed, giggling insanely on the bus, and hoping not too many people were staring at me. The action is awesome, the characters jump - nay - LEAP off of the page at you and into your pants (why hello, there Lee). To sum up, it's awesome, just like the author." Katrina Miller, definite cool chick and friend, South Australia

Rock Chick Rescue

Jet has a secret. Eddie has the hots for Jet (not to mention, Eddie’s just plain hot). Jet’s got too many problems to cotton on that Eddie’s interested. Eddie loses patience when Jet ends her night shift at a strip club with a knife at her throat. Since Eddie’s a cop, he figures he can help. Since Jet’s used to solving everyone's problems, she doesn't want Eddie’s help.

Enter a Dolly Parton look-alike, a gruff but lovable strip club owner, Jet’s sister Lottie “The Queen of the Corvette Calendar”, Jet’s ne’er-do-well father (and his ne’er-do-well friend, Bear and Bear’s long-suffering, chain-smoking wife, Lavonne) and the cast of characters from Indy and Lee's wild ride and you've got Rock Chick Rescue.

"Ok, just got to tell you I absolutely love the new Rock Chick!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing I hated was that it ended. Just so you know, I got one hour of sleep the other night because I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for your next book." -Stephanie Redman Smith, softball Mom, former police dispatch, Lebanon, Indiana, USA

Rock Chick Redemption

Roxie’s on the run from a bad boyfriend who just will not catch a hint that it is o-v-e-r. She’s not in the mood for love at first sight. Unfortunately, her eyes fall on Hank and she knows it’s trouble from the get-go. Roxie tries to hold Hank at arms length but Hank wants to be a lot closer (as in, a lot, a lot). 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-type of 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. Roxie’s got the odds stacked up against her and has no choice but to hold on and just ride it out through kidnappings, car chases, society parties and a wild night at the Haunted House.

"This is a great ride; I’m enjoying every minute of it, but am anxious to finish it so I can regain control of my life." -Barbara Hunter, awesome once-Air Force Colonel, now Grandma travelling in an RV, Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA

Rock Chick Renegade

Jules has got a score to settle against the drug dealers of Denver. Vance has made it his mission that Jules won’t get dead while dishing out vigilante justice. Jules doesn’t have time for romance, she’s too busy saving the world and she enlists Zip (the gunstore owner), Heavy (an ex-PI) and Frank (a mysterious recluse) to help.

The Rock Chicks get involved to provide advice and guidance (none of which Jules accepts, at first). The Hot Bunch adopt Jules as one of their own. Even though Jules tries to hang on to her inner Head Crackin’ Mamma Jamma, the Rock Chicks, Hot Bunch, Jules’s long-suffering Uncle Nick and Jules’s friend, the rotund, African-American, Jackie-O wannabe, May, will stop at nothing to wear her down. But Jules makes some bad guys pretty angry, and one will stop at nothing to take her out.

Since Luke, Ava's childhood crush, is now a bad ass mother, she thinks to enlist him but changes her mind at the last second.

Too late, Luke knows she’s up to something and he’s already seen many a Rock Chick try to fight her own battles without the Hot Bunch stepping in. He’s having none of it. She’s having none of him.

Stella’s the lead singer and lead guitarist of the Blue Moon Gypsies and Stella used to be Mace’s girl. Mace broke up with her though and the loss of him rocked her world. But Stella gets a call, late at night (again) from one of the members of her crazy band. She has to go play clean up (again) and runs into Mace (and a shed load of police) and ends up getting shot.

Mace finds he doesn’t like it much that his ex-girlfriend got shot, right in front of him, but it’s worse. A very bad man has thrown down the gauntlet and ALL the Rock Chicks are in the firing line. Stella doesn’t want Mace to be the one to keep her alive, but she has no choice (mainly because Mace isn’t giving her one).

Available only here, a little glimpse and fictional proof that Rock Chicks keep on keepin' on, no matter what, even if they wear pointe shoes.

Rock Chick Regret

Sadie 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 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.

Out Now! Rock Chick Regret has been unleashed!
