Synopsis
Indy Savage, cop’s daughter, rock chick and used bookstore owner, has been in love with Lee Nightingale, once bad boy, now the man behind Nightingale Investigations, since she was five years old. No matter what ingenious schemes Indy used to capture his attention, Lee never showed an interest and Indy finally gave up. Now Indy’s employee, Rosie, has lost a bag of diamonds and bad guys are shooting at him. When Indy gets involved, Lee is forced to help. Complicating matters, Lee has decided he’s interested, Indy’s decided she’s not. But she can’t seem to keep Lee out of her life when she’s repeatedly stun gunned, kidnapped and there are car bombs exploding (not to mention she’s finding dead bodies).
Indy’s best bet is to solve the mystery of the diamonds before Lee. Lee’s challenge is to keep Indy alive and, at the same time, win back her heart.

Review
So Rock Chick was just okay for me. Mainly because the two main characters annoyed me, and I have to admit at times I thought they were perfect for each other, and other times I thought there was no way this would work.
This story reminded me a lot of the Stephanie Plum series. It was full of hijinx and quirky side characters.
Indy was a lot. She has a big heart but continuously puts herself in peril and never seemed to think things through. I have to admit I found her to be pretty annoying. I often asked why Lee was even into her, and I kept waiting for him to give up on her. And the fact that every man in the book seemed to me into her made it even more annoying! So suffice to say, the romance portion was lacking.
There is a mystery element, but it’s not a true mystery. There’s a lot regarding the ”mystery” we aren’t privy to, which is fine. I don’t think it impacted the story much. There wasn’t so much a crime to solve, more like a series of connected events that made up the plot.
Was this book entertaining? Yes! Was I annoyed more than 50% of the time? Also, yes!
