If you’re a fan of the Rock Chick series, this prequel will hit the spot and if you’ve never read series, Rock Chick Reawakening is a great place to start.
Daisy in many ways, has always been the heart and soul of the Rock Chicks, whether it’s instigating shenanigans or comforting a friend in need, she was always there. RCR also delves into Daisy’s childhood and that history aids us in understanding Daisy even more. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read this series and I’ve always wondered about Daisy and Marcus and the details of how they came to be. Marcus’s devotion to Daisy is legendary and now we know how and why.
Prequels, whether they be books, tv or movies can be a very scary notion for die hard fans. Have you seen The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith? So, I’ll admit that I was a teeny bit nervous about this one BUT, I was quickly reassured that this prequel was going to be even more than I had hoped for. The hope for a prequel for me is that it will enrich what has already been written and I can honestly say that RCR only added to my enjoyment of the series as a whole.
Daisy’s neverending optimism and larger than life persona was earned very early in life and somehow she maintained that outlook, I think, in many ways, thanks to Marcus. In typical KA alpha fashion, he sets his sights on her and decides that she is THE ONE. His timing could not be more perfect in because she ends up needing someone to lean on, whether she admits it or not. (She doesn’t of course.) Marcus perseveres and lives up to the hype that he creates for himself. Daisy has no reason to trust a man who says he will stick around and be good to her. But Marcus makes good on that promise and more.
As I read this novella, I truly felt like it made me understand even more of Daisy’s actions in the RC books and it made me want to read the series again just to experience Daisy in all of her glory. And let me say… that EPILOGUE? OMG.

“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.
