Yep, I love Hank again. This time, he was sweet, loving and so patient with Roxie, I have no idea what I was thinking the last time I listened. Loved all the good bits, cried in all the bad bits.
Great to catch up with my Rock Chick family.
...and I saw Luke šššš
***********
Time for another trip around the block with the Rock Chicks
I feel kind of let down with this re-read/listen of Hank and Roxie's story. To be honest, it was Hank that left me dissatisfied. I feel like we don't really get to know him. He's always off at work fighting bad guys or telling Roxie off. Now, take this with a grain of salt. The last time I read this one, Hank was the light of my life and his dedication and devotion had me swooning.
Do you know what I think the problem is? I'm having Luke Stark withdrawals. Getting a little glimpse of him, when he's gruff, hot, smart, hot, bossy, hot and funny...and HOT, just makes me want to skip the next block and head straight to Revenge. I may also be willing to head straight to Revenge because I don't want to "see" Luke meet with Renegade.
Re-reads/listenings of the Rock Chicks is serious work. You have to be with the one you love and, well, Luke will always be my one true Hot Bunch MAN.
I love the Rock Chicks and there is no way in bloody HELL I'm changing my rating. It was only a slight dissatisfaction with Hank, next time I see him, I'll love him again.

Another Rock Chick audio devoured.
I laughed, I cried (on the train...avoiding eye contact with fellow passengers) and I loved every minute of it. Is it freaky that my two favourite parts are -
1. When she is at her worst and needs saving. That it's Vance (who saves her) may have something to do with it. He's all hot, intense and thoughtful.
2. When Hank loses it and yells at her for putting her life in danger. The fact that she stepped in front of danger to protect him and her loved ones made it even more epic in my mind.
I think it's the emotions portrayed that made them my favourite parts.
Even though Roxie feels so bad about herself (at that particular moment), seeing the care and protection she received made me feel tight in my chest. If I was in the same situation, I would want someone looking out for me when I'm at my worst.
Hank's reaction to screaming at Roxie seemed very real. I loved that someone so "in control" lost it so epically. I know that I'm guilty of screaming at my kids when they risk their health and wellbeing. I want my kids to be happy and safe at all times and I think this was why Hank yelled.
Hank is the serious one in the group. He seems to watch everything going on around him and observe the proceedings. When it's needed, he says what needs to be said. Sometimes, even he can't control his actions and reactions. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when he lost it. I'm pretty sure he would be EXTREMELY passionate.
Roxie's love for fashion and dressing up I can totally relate to. Her need to always present herself in the best light is something I (try to) do as well. I can't remember the last time I left my house without lipstick on and my hair not done.
Honestly, I do struggle a little with the way the Rock Chicks push away their men...for their man's benefit. Hello...if the hot bunch guy is up for the challenge, go with the flow.
Rock Chick Redemption is about finding the love of your life and finding the person who will put up with you through the good and the bad. No love is perfect and nobody is perfect.
As per usual...the Rock Chick gang makes Rock Chick Redemption fun and interesting. I want my own Rock Chick gang...and a Hot Bunch too.
For some reason, the odd numbers in this series are my favourite. (Rubbing my hands together in delight) Luke and Ava are up next.
