When I first started this series I thought it would just be a few sexy stories to enjoy. But as I actually read the stories I realized that these books are so much more than that. Yes they were hot and full of some fun moments, but the overall message is about power over your own body and taking what you want without being afraid. And this book has only gone on to prove that.

Marsha's character honestly surprised me because in the previous books I didn't realize just how much she was holding back. She had demons that followed her and seeing her try to fight them actually got pretty emotional at times, which I loved.

Overall, definitely a book I would recommend reading. There were some heated moments that had me on the edge of my seat and gripping my kindle, but there were also a lot of sweet moments that had me happy sighing.

I am not rating this book, since I can't relate to any of the characters, especially Marsha ( she turned out to be NOT what I was hoping and she's quite the opposite from the first impression I gathered about her, so that was a minus)

Secondly, I absolutely didn't expect this main character to be the actual main character, but I guess, since I didn't read book 1, I can't really say, if his recurring role is to be expected, but for me, it was quite a bit of a blow.

i didn't connect with either of them and both of them just sent out the wrongful kind of vibe, for me.

But, as I always say, this is my opinion alone and NOT the general one. I just think that the original premise of the book which I loved, to start with, made a 360 degrees turn in this installment. And I'm afraid it had nothing to do with the "impowerement of the women" cause well, Marsha, the main character, did nothing to live up to this strong and powerful message, unfortunately.

Rock F*ck Club three was really good! I was a bit frustrated with Raven and Marsha at the beginning, but it didn't last. The girl power message in this story took it to another level - because choice is everything!

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay so it’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of Marsha nor have I kept it secret that I find her childish and annoying but I’m going to play the devils advocate here...
There are things that Marsha has done in her past that she regrets obviously BUT her pregnancy was never one of them nor her feelings for Hawk (granted I feel her feeling for Hawk were those a a puppy love/first love). With that said she is human and makes mistakes and some of those mistakes she probably will never be able to fix...Raven stepped back from the situation for clarity and came out the other side with Marsha and herself stronger.

One thing that bothered me was that in the very beginning of the book Marsha NEVER steered Sky towards Ivan. She only knew Sky had known someone to use to make Rocky jealous. Also as I recall Marsha told her it wasn’t a good idea to begin with. (Yeah I’m taking Marsha’s side on this one...Sky is to blame for her own decisions no one else.)

As much as I didn’t want to like Marsha and as much as I didn’t like her in the previous book...you get to see another side to her in this book. It took awhile to strip down her defenses but once the were gone she became relatable which made her vulnerable. This also made her likable, now Ivan I had to come at from a different angle because we only saw him as the bad guy before. He has his flaws but one thing that was clear even in book 1 was him being drawn to Marsha. That was never put into question.

There are so many characters I want to see more of...Ty (what really happened to him!), Mike and his brother (where is this woman who they are both in love with?), Sky and Rocky (I didn’t get enough of these two in this book!)

I cannot express how much I love this series. I fell in love with Rock F*ck Club and then kept that love going through book 2 Rock F*ck Club: A Postseason One Novella and then Rock F*ck Club. This book, this series is something I wish could be in every school, every library, anywhere and everywhere.

Its so much more than just a story about Rock Stars. Its about finding yourself. Choosing yourself when you think you cant. Its about acceptance and forgiveness. About choosing to to loved, even when you dont love yourself.

If you've ever felt, even for a moment, that you werent worthy of love, then Marsha's story is your story. Its my story. Its everyone's. And I am better for reading it.

***4.5 ‘Anytime, Anyplace, Anyway’ Stars***

*Big. Deep. Breath IN and OUT*

I swear I have huge case of emotional whiplash going on, my eyes hurt from all the rolling they were doing and the need to grab a spoon and get all stabby is strong right now. And I knew that going in considering how I felt while reading RFC #1 and #2, so I wasn’t necessarily surprised, but DAMN!

And yet….

I had a difficult time putting the thing down.

I mean I was ragey at one point, but was still all kinds of cuddled up in that crazy rabbit hole turning the pages to see what would happen next on this crazy ride because the good, the bad, the ugly and the batshit crazy was simply addicting.

Marsha. I honestly loved the girl. I did. But boy did she put me through the wringer. I loved her strength and her loyalty to those she calls her own is out of this world beautiful (even if they don’t deserve it) but man, this girl gots a lot of demons. LOTS and it was heartbreaking to see how much they ruled her at times. But watching her slowly ~ oh so slowly ~ start to work through things, even when she made choices that had me growling and asking ‘Why?’, made seeing the woman she was always meant to be worth it.

Now for ‘The Guy’. Straight up. I didn’t like for a long, LONG time. Arrogant, destructive, cruel. That’s how I saw him. And he has his “reasons”, some are valid and some fall under the category of ‘you’re a little boy throwing a tantrum because you didn’t get what you want’. But as things progress, and truths were finally spoken, I started to like him. His methods were still all kinds of Neanderthal AF, but the man showed that he can be on the right side of being alpha AF instead of the other.

As for their journey to their HEA? The crazy is strong. The smexy is OMG HAWT and the sweet ~ when it comes is all kinds of swoony, but the crazy is still strong.
The angst and drama are STRONG in this one. STRONG. Hence my very strong reaction to it. There is a situation that happens and even now that the book is done and things are resolved I’m still pissed about. I am still offended for Marsha, I am pissed off for Marsha and the woman drove me batshit crazy for almost the entire book, but I don’t think she deserved THAT. And the fact that THEY did that to her...that’s just a huge NO. (I am obviously not as forgiving as Marsha or the PMS is riding me really hard right now) I know it’s vague. But you must experience it for yourself. The bright spot though was Barbara and the filming crew. Barbara is AWESOME. She is my ride or die here. That woman deserves a medal. And though the crew were in the background, they were cool.

So, if you’re looking for an angsty goodness then this baby is for you!

Empowerment!! This is more than a story about bedding rock stars at your choosing it is about how once you take control of your life and learn to love yourself nothing can be more beautiful. This is Marsha’s story as she takes on season two of the Rock F*ck Club. Marsha has so many demons from her past that she can’t love herself or feel any kind of contentment in her life.

Be ready for another great installment in this series one that is packed full of sex, betrayal, sex, surprises, sex, hot rockers and so much more. The path Raven and now Marsha have taken may be out of our reach but the outcome sure hits close to home.

Season two of the infamous Rock F*ck Club i it is hot as ever as it does not disappoint. This time Raven’s best friend Marsha West is the star. She is about to shed her own goodie shoe image as she has her own hidden issues.

RFC will once again break rules as the find a way to fall in love. No one does hot rock musicians and sex like Michelle Mankin.

[MJLovestoRead · Rating 5 out of 5]

RFC #3 is the perfect rhythm of girl power and surprising romance. This time around it's Marsha West's turn to be the star of RFC Season Two and she clearly makes it known that it will be HER season no matter what. Her inner demons, the secrets she has kept from her bestie Raven Winters, all come to a head and yet Mars still manages to put everyone close to her first even as parts of her life start to crumble.

Not to mention the man who was once just a way to forget the true love of her life, who becomes her support system when she needs him the most. I was floored by his devotion, and the sincere chemistry between him and Marsha. I won't reveal his name here just yet...hoping most have read the novella first. But be prepared to be gobsmacked at the way their affection grows despite their misgivings from both the past and the recent present.

Marsha stood out for me in RFC #1, due to her unwavering loyalty to Raven. She is one tough cookie and I love her spirit and her drive. In spite of the fact that she is a bit lost at times from memories that won't go away and not having Raven by her side, she shines brilliantly in this book. She is troubled but never allows her own mistakes to affect others when she can help it. I felt for her as she finds herself alone more times than not but was always hopeful that the determined side of Marsha would break through and find a way to make things right. Her dealings with Suzanne Smith were great to watch as Marsha found her footing and made the RFC show her own, no matter the consequence.

Also, I need to mention that there are some wonderful secondary characters who add just the right touch when needed: Sky Spencer (Lucky's sister), Rocky, John Got Busted, and yes, even the man who started this entire adventure, Ivan Carl, are incredible additions. There was an ultimate balance with this story and these people who all had an important role to play.

Through it all, Marsha West is her own woman and I was right there with her, cheering her high points and hopeful the low ones would soon pass. Her fierce determination paired with her beautiful heart and soul makes for the best book yet in this well-written and engaging series. I simply loved it and am hopeful we hear more from this phenomenal crew.

Michelle Mankin has proven once again she can mix the sexy world of Rock n Roll with matters of the heart like no one else. Get ready for one helluva ride that will leave you on a high that is pure delight.

5+ stars!

[Cyndi Becker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shock and Awe This is the most appropriate way to refer to what this story evoked. Never in my wildest of wild dreams would I have imagined the direction this story took. The third (and hopefully NOT final) book in the Rock F*Ck Club series, showcases the, um, err assets of the fine young men on the Gods of Rock Tour and the bold and broken Marsha West, #RFC season 2 hostess.

There's is really nothing I can say about the main characters in this ( aside from Marsha) without giving away the twist. I can say that as she embarks on season 2, Marsha faces some of her worst fears. She's held onto some secrets that she never wanted to come out and they do. Again, nothing I would have ever thought would have happened. It's hard to be in her head at times because all her bravado is driven by her self esteem, or lack there of. She's so much stronger than she thinks but she questions the attention she gets and has a very hard time taking anyone's word on how they feel about her. She just doesn't seem like herself, how we've known her, and my heart ached for all the self doubt she has. Unfortunately she's stuck feeling second best and her reaction to this leads to her making some not so great decisions. She's feels a bit out of control at times ratcheting up my anxiety levels.

However, the connections she has with a certain "Mr. Wrong" is insanely hot. In this these two excel. They may have communication problems, mostly Marsha just accepting his affection as truth, but when they succumb to the temptation, WOWZA! But it's bigger than that, these two. There's a deep soulful connection and seeing them together makes so much sense.

As Marsha faces one of her hardest adversaries, she begins to really understand her strengths and the support systems she has. I love how the intent of the #RFC is strengthened through her voice. It's all about choice, a woman's rights to be and feel however she does without shame, and with love and compassion for oneself. #GirlPower

[Marie Vasquez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yeah! I had a feeling I was going to love Marsha’s season of RFC, but I had no idea how much I would love it. Her story revealed so much about her and I didn’t ever think that their could be any redemption for the rocker her heart landed on. I was blown away at how their story unfolded.

In the previous book, from the glimpses I got of Marsha, I had her pegged as a “hype girl” to Raven. Her wing woman if you will. She was supportive and always there for Raven to lean on...and she’s also the reason RFC even exists.

But deep down, she’s just a broken girl who’s always been willing to sacrifice to make sure the girl that’s like a sister to her gets everything that makes her happy. While the first book was more of Raven claiming her sexuality and stomping all over the slut shaming stigma woman face today. But for Marsha, her story was more about her finding her self and her strength to fight for what she wants...even if it’s fighting her best friend.

The transformation as well as her struggles in this book were impeccably details and written in such a way that I could physically share in her pain.

This is definitely my favorite RFC season.

[Brandee (un)Conventional Bookworms · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'll post my review closer to release day but WHOA! RFC #3 might be the hottest book Mankin's written to date. It ROCKED! <3

***
*ahem* Prepare for me to gush. :) Rock F*ck Club #3 revolves around the second season and Raven's best friend, Marsha is the star. RFC's main concept - a woman's right to explore her sexuality without judgement - is a theme that continues but RFC is about much more. It's also a journey of self discovery and being a part of Marsha's journey was an absolute pleasure. AND fyi, Rock F*ck Club #3 may be the hottest book Mankin has written to date! It may also be my favorite...and that's saying a lot.

We know a good bit about the kind of person Marsha is going into Rock F*ck Club #3 . She's caring, loyal, compassionate, supportive...basically she will do all she can to ensure those she loves get what they need - what she feels they deserve. But Marsha isn't quite as kind to herself, seemingly feeling unworthy of any kindness or love. Even from Raven. What we didn't know were the reasons and motivations behind her feelings. And that's what she's able to explore in her season of RFC. I floved how Mankin explored - pulling back layer by layer, removing Marsha's armor chink by chink, to reveal the truly amazing woman underneath.

What was shocking was the person who became such an integral part of Marsha's journey. I don't want to give anything away so I'll just say that the guy is not someone I would've believed I could ever grow to like - much less love. And yet Mankin accomplishes this feat with aplomb. Getting to know this guy - seeing his layers peeled back as he works at helping Marsha realize her true worth was fascinating. He understood Marsha on a level no one else could and I not only enjoyed learning about him but also seeing how deep his feelings for Marsha ran.

The heady topics of self-worth, sexual freedom, true friendship, loyalty - were all examined in genuine ways...ways that kept me reading WAY past my bedtime. (It's been a long, long time since a book kept me up until 2 a.m.) I appreciated the connections Mankin made from RFC #2 to #3 with Marsha and Raven's friendship, how she delved into its depths, tested its strengths and boundaries. I thrilled at the introduction of new characters - new band mates, Marsha's conquests, and Barbara, the new addition to the circle of women including Marsha, Raven, and Sky.

I loved where Mankin took things, and admired her for taking them there. I appreciated how she resolved things for Marsha and her man and I pray she writes Rock F*ck Club #4 and #5 sooner than later!

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Let me begin by saying that of all the books by Michelle Mankin this RFC series is my favourite! Michelle took a cool fun very unique take on rockstars and delivered an awesome story! Raven is a super cool chick with the most amazing best friend Marsha, in book 1 we really got to know Raven, but this book RFC#3 gives you so much of Marsha and her personality really shines thru! Also don't  forget the underlying message of women and feeling empowered. This story will blow your mind!  The title will pull you in and you will be amazed by how intense the subject matter is yet you will laugh and cry throughout this book because it's so much more! 5 fantastic stars!

[Paula Phillips · Rating 3 out of 5]

At the end of Book #2, we were left with an OMG Cliffhanger as Sky stepped out with none other than Ivan Carl. The guy who broke up with Raven and started her little rant which led to the creation of RFC. In reality, she should be thanking him as if it wasn't for him; she would never have fallen in love with Lucky. Of course, it's not a perfect world, and she hates Ivan and sees him as a manipulative bastard. As Raven has moved on from RFC, Marsha is given the opportunity. The thing is though that Marsha isn't gentle like Raven, she is kinkier and uses sex to forget. She's a whole different kettle of fish. Ivan plays a massive part in this story as we learn more about his past and also his relationships with both Raven and Marsha. Raven only learns about Marsha which sets off a ripple effect and leaves Marsha not only abandoned by Raven but on the outs of all her newfound friends as they take Raven's side. I never really liked Marsha's character in the earlier books, but after reading Book #3 - you could resonate on why Marsha is who she is. I did also like that we got to see a gentler side of Ivan too and not just the jerk he was painted out to be. I did hate Ivan's friend Ty though as it's like - back off, let Marsha and Ivan have their happiness. I am now hoping that we do get a book of Sky getting Rocky though :) "hint, hint- Michelle. RFC #3 was another fantastic rockstar novel by Michelle Mankin.

[Amazeballs Book Addicts · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved loved this one! Marsha and Raven are best friends. Raven originally did RFC now it's Marsha's turn. Marsha is wild and crazy but deep down there's a lot going on there. I was hooked from the beginning. I love Marsha. There were several times in this one that I was surprised in this one. I thought Marsha and Raven's friendship was unbreakable and strong but this one had me questioning that. Marsha is a bada** rock chick but under all that she has demons she struggling with. I felt for Marsha, at points I wanted to give her a hug. I don't want to give too much away about the guy she ends up with but I didn't really like him at first then he melted my heart. I rolled my eyes at him when he first appeared in the book but after I learn more about him, he really is a good guy. I totally loved this one. It's a must read.

[Danny · Rating 3 out of 5]

Um.. yeah I don’t think I can keep doing. I had such high hopes for Marsha and right at the start everything was so disappointing. The 3 stars are majorly for the second half of the book, especially chapter 40 and on. I enjoyed it from that point on but before that, I skimmed most of it. Also, her ending up with that mmc, it was just a no from me. At the end everything was resolved but this was not a fav for me. Won’t be reading the rest of the series, I honestly think I just didn’t connect with this author’s writing style, sadly.

[Thia Finn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Marsha (Mars) has a long road to come to terms with her self worth in this conclusion to the Rock F*ck Club. She picks up the programming for season two of the show with her own set of rules and the guy who we’ve already learn to hate! He continues to cause problems for Raven and Mars.
Their chemistry is undeniable but will it be enough to help Mars see that she’s truly worthy of love and friendship?

[Caryn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found Ivan to be the star of this book just like Lucky previously! While Marsha is a messed up woman due mainly from her father’s abuse, Ivan admits he fell for her a long time ago. He now intends to stake his claim. Marsha fights it at every turn but how long until she falls under his spell?

On to book 4!

Wow, I thought I love Lucky and how hot he was and things he said (and yes, I do), but Ivan... *sigh* I would love a guy to talk to me the way he does to Marsha. He's just so beautiful.... I loved this book. It was a real rollercoaster that tugs at your heart-strings but is so beautiful because of it. I didn't have the same childhood at Marsha, but her pain and actions were so relateable. This is a great novel and I would gladly recommend it to any romance reader.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I liked this book better than the first one. I didn't think I would enjoy Marsha's story, but I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised.

Avid readers of rocker romances are beyond familiar with what goes on behind the scenes on a tour, and whether it be backstage, a bar’s bathroom, or one of the bunks on the tour bus, musicians definitely know how to take advantage of the endless buffet of busty women.

But in Michelle Mankin’s Rock F*ck Club series, the focus isn’t really on the rockers who get off but rather the girls who proudly take on the role of RFC Chick, leaving their inhibitions behind and feeling empowered to choose who and what they want because this journey is all about taking back control, learning from past mistakes, and paving one’s own way.

After reading Raven Winter’s wild ride as the original RFC, I didn’t think I could be shocked, in awe, or aghast by anything another RFC Chick could be, but boy was I wrong because when Raven’s best friend, Marsha West, goes from someone watching from the sidelines to the star vixen, everything gets turned upside down, once again, and when Marsha’s time is up, there’s no telling what she’ll learn about herself and the men she chooses to spend time with on this new adventure.

It’s amazing how different a secondary character appears/becomes when s/he takes the spotlight, and Marsha is a heroine. When she was in the background of Raven’s story, making sure Raven went all in and experienced everything there was to as the star of the tour. But this go around, Marsha is the ‘It Girl,’ and even though she witnessed Raven’s experience as a RFC, her 10 minutes of fame as the second RFC forces Marsha to face her past, to face the demons that still haunt her, and to face her brokenness in a way that will not only heal old wounds but will also allow her to accept herself for the woman she is not the one that other people think she should be.

I don’t think Marsha truly understood how her life would change when she and Raven made the decision to have no strings sex with multiple partners because it’s made abundantly clear that as much as Marsha doesn’t want her heart to be a factor in these new experiences and opportunities, it’s almost impossible for it not to be, not only because she’s still figuring out thinks about herself throughout the course of season two, but also because there’s a lot of pushing and pulling between Marsha and a particular rocker and how he’s been portrayed and how she feels about herself make for dicey situations and force her to make more than one difficult decision.

What I found most interesting about Rock F*ck Club #3 is who Marsha truly is behind the mask that she’s spent quite a long time perfecting because when she’s stripped bare and forced to look inward, she comes to quite a few realizations, making her season of RFC about so much more than rocking out with a plethora of rockers all in the name of getting off and having a good time.

Rock F*ck Club

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚

Talk about hot and steamy!!!

Lucky and Raven are on a fast paced rollercoaster ride. These two have started with a fast speed “relationship” from the beginning but in this fast paced novella we see growth from Raven and a beautiful connection between her and Lucky. What they don’t however face is the ever growing desire for each other. Their connection is strong, sexy, and just the right amount of dirty. You will not be disappointed in the this story contains some of the sexiest scenes between the two of them.

Michelle's writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shockingly intimate I have become a huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow... just wow, where to begin? Yet again I am feeling a bit conflicted/ speechless about certain aspects of this book.

For a good chunk of it, I felt like I was watching a train wreck in progress with Marsha. Some ugly facts about her past are revealed and it throws her whole world into a tailspin- so naturally her response is to go into IDGAF mode and make some of the most ill-advised self destructive decisions possible.

I had been aiming too low with my hookups. I was going for notoriety now. Shooting for the stars. Rock stars. Paving the road to hell with the most infamous of intensions, I planned to have the type of fun that would make even my recent threesome seem pedestrian. - Marsha

The lessons of her past have left her with a lot of demons and a firm belief she is unlovable, so everything she does is with that basic premise in mind. But she also wants to be loved, for someone to stay with her and believe in her just once, and she doesn't know how to stop sabotaging that with the one person who wants to be hers.

The guy she will end up with is revealed pretty early on, and he brings a set of complications she doesn't know how to face. It took him awhile to win me over, but when he did, I have to admit he had me 100% swooning for him. There's no doubt he has his work cut out for him and he is far from perfect, but he is persistent and he is much easier to understand once he allows his walls to come down too.

“Life’s taken bites out of both of us.” Ivan’s tone was reflectively soft. “Done its damage. Left us with a lot of ragged edges most people wouldn’t understand. But I understand, Mars, and I think maybe if we stop cutting into each other for a change we would discover that we actually piece together very well.”

So it's safe to say I was much more engaged with the second half of the story than the first, but I am happy that I stuck with it.

[Kathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

There's a lot to like about RFC3 - So I will start with the positives IMO
Ivan - Nothing beats a story of redemption and Ivan's transformation from a royal SOB to the sensitive, sexy, hot romantic rocker had my heart racing, the scene from St George Island (which is in my neck of the woods) was a perfect backdrop to let his true intentions out - Sigh
Next up Barbara - a refreshing add to the Chick circle, hope we see more of her down the road.
Ivan's Band The Enthusiasts' - not crazy about the band name - doesn't seem very Metalcore to me but the members are very intriguing and I hope Michelle Makin has some juicy stories up her sleeve for them. - Female Drum Tech - *hint*
Marsha, I found her very sympathetic and abuse of any kind while you are growing is not a cliche' and does affect every relationship you have if not dealt with. I found her and her outlook very real, could I have done without the whiplash regarding her feeling toward Ivan? - absolutely but again, people who go through that often live double lives and that was portrayed in a realistic screwed up manner.
Mine. - Nuff said
OK - my not so favorite things
I was never really a fan of Raven's and boy did I want to bitch slap her in this book - Raven - it's HO'S BEFORE BROS - I always saw her as selfish and here she is again - with her ready to throw her friendship out over Ivan - HER EX while her present Lucky thinks this is ok - Lucky grow a pair of balls will ya - You had a minute to be mad at Marsha - but letting your woman go on about a "betrayal" with Marsha and Raven's ex - Seriously dude - man up and remind her why that doesn't and shouldn't matter.
Ivan & Sky - Did they or didn't they?
Sky & Marsha - Someone tell Lucky that Ivan was never the intended target - sheesh.
Ending/Epilogue - HFN ending
All in all - a book that gets me going like this one did - is a fabulous thing

First off....I love all these covers and I need them all for my shelfies..and I just want to let everyone know this up front..lol I have loved reading this series and next up is Marsha's book and dang, talk about a lot of push and pull, lots of sexual tension and a lot of cat and mouse chasing..I have to say at times that Kindle was about to be thrown across the room cuz Marsha was making me pissy..hahaha But I really did love her even though she made me pissy!!

And lorrddd Mankin knows how to suck you into her books in the very first sentence..lol I mean dayuum woman, HAWT HAWT HAWT!!!

I have to tell you that after the cliffy we were left with in the Novella-book2, I was dying to get this book read!! I was sooo excited to have RFC #3 to land on my Kindle.

And nowww onto my review...sooo I want to be vague in my review cuz I feel going in blind is always the way to go!! I am not going to mention a certain someone that Marsha keeps running into and she tries to keep pushing him away, but he is like a yoyo, he always keeps coming back...lol Raven and Marsha started this Rock Fuck Club as a fun, no strings attached club only to figure out that, although it was all fun and games and Hawt as shit sex with all these band mates, their heart ends up getting involved when they never thought it was going to get in the way and so it made it really hard for these girls to Fuckem' and chuckem'. lol Sooo get ready for lots of push and pull, it will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.

I gave RFC 5 iScream Books Cones!!! Thank you for another fantastic book Michelle Mankin!!!

Ohhh one more thing...good Lord woman...I freaking loved that shower scene!!!! THAT.IS.ALL....LOL

4.5 Stars

Marsha West just signed on to do season two of the Rock F*ck Club, and she couldn't be any more different from it's original star. Marsha isn't into finding herself, she just wants to dull the pain, and what better way to do that than one random hook-up after another... this is her season, and she is doing things her way. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I loved this book. Emotional and sexy, the RFC is that last thing Marsha needs to feed her self destructive behavior. And when her life starts falling apart around her and she feels more alone now than ever, the last person she ever though would be there for her is the one person who helps her to see herself for the strong woman that she really is...

Marsha is incredibly damaged and on her way to spiraling out of control. With her foray into the limelight with the RFC, she uses her normal method of dealing with her unhappy life in a much more public setting. And with the sudden influx of attention, a man who hurt her in the past seems to suddenly want another chance to destroy what is left of her heart.

I enjoyed this book so much, and Marsha's journey in the RFC is a tear jerking, soul searching ride that you just have to see to believe.... 

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

I have really been enjoying this series. Girl power! Why is it okay for guys to have all of the fun and woman get called names? So the third book is about Raven's friend Marsha. I enjoyed getting to see another side of Marsha and the demons from her past. She is very broken and we find out why. This book is about learning to love yourself and seeing yourself how others see you, but in a good way. Marsha has made mistakes in her past and unfortunately while she wants to be with a certain guy, she can't because of the girl code. Normally I do not like books where one of the characters keep saying, no I can't be with them, when they really want to be with them, but in this case I understood why she couldn't be with him. You can't date a best friend's ex and that is an awkward conversation to try to have with the best friend. But the guy was amazing. We all want that guy who will chase us to the ends of the earth and wait for us to be ready to be with them. Swoon. I was about 75% finished and then I could not put the book down. I loved how it all ended!

Here are some of the quotes I liked:

"I was afraid if she had too much time to reflect, her heart would harden against me for good."

"You said my heart is too effed up."
"It is, babe. It's a mess. But then so the hell is mine."

"For once in my life, I wanted to be the reason someone stayed."

So, I had a little trouble with this, with Ivan, the guy we all hate from Raven's book, Rock F*ck Club #1, being our love interest in the end. Yes, we got to know him better, and yes the author definitely made us like him. But I think my feeling of him from the first book just made it impossible for me to be completely happy with that, and it is probably part of why I am at 4 stars instead of 5. And then there was the way that Marsha started off her whole season, I totally get it, she was hurt and wanting to hurt back, or at least just show everyone that she was what they were thinking about her. At least what she assumed they were thinking about her. As I mentioned though, Ivan did win her over, bit by bit, sweet gesture by sweet gesture, and he won me over in the end as well with all of that. The sex scenes were definitely sexy in this one. However there were times when Marsha did irritate me with how she felt she had to be, but I know again, that is part of the drama of the story, and what makes her who she is. There is an opening for a next book in the series, and I'll be interested to see who will take on the next season. While I want Sky to get her true love, I don't know that I want her to go through this type of thing. But I will be reading on to the next one, as long as there is one. And I will be picking up more books by this author!
