I'm almost finished with Rock Chick and I've finished Dream Man series. So I'll be looking into some of her other books and series. Can't wait. Love her books!!

I'm in!
Leslie, you have to read Colorado Mountain series. All books but one were really good!

I'm interested in reading Rock Chick series ( already read the first book) and the Burg series, maybe Dream Man also.

Yay!
I'm in! I've finished the Rock chick series and Dream Man series and considering to start the Colorado Mountain series.

With Everything I Am

I'm in...this is a new to me author and I am always seeing tons of great reviews of the Rock Chick series so I guess I'll start with that!

I'm excited by this choice as well. I have a few of hers sitting on my kindle just waiting for me :)

I've only read a few of Ashley's, but liked them all.

I've read Rock Chick, Mystery Man, Motorcycle Man, and Knight. Knight and Motorcycle Man were my favorites.

I would be happy to start the Colorado Mountain series. And I'd like to read the 'Burg series.

And Skandia - the Rock Chick series is a hoot!

Well, this wasn't who I voted for, but I've been wanting to read more of her stuff (I've only read one) so I'll join in. Fortunately she has a few out in audio and more due in the next 6 months or so...most of her books are on the long side and I tend to have trouble getting through longer books if I don't have the option to listen to them rather than reading the whole thing! :D

It's easier to put what I haven't read yet,lol

Fantasyland series
The Three
Unfinished Hero - but am starting this one this month

Haven't finished Ghost and Reincarnation series and need to read Jagged that just came out to be up to date with Colorado Mountain series


I've loved all of her series and did a re-read of Rock Chick right before #8 came out.

May do a re-read of Dream Men series.

I'd be interested in reading some of her books for this. I've got Rock Chick on deck for November's PIFM, and I've already read Own the Wind, but I am willing to do re-reads, especially on Own the Wind, since I know that her Dream Men series feeds into the Chaos series. Other than what I've mentioned, I haven't read this author to completion, but everyone says she's great and I want to read more to know if I agree with the group or not!

Awesome! Read everything of hers, but can't wait to re-read.

I'm so in!!!!WOOHOO!!

I'm in too :) I want to read The Gamble, so that is the track that I'll start...

Thanks for organising this Fran!

Count me in I haven't read any of hers but have got a copy on my iPad of a few of her books and am keen to get started on reading them :)

I would definitely like to read the Colorado Mountain series and the Fantasyland series sounds really good as well.
I'd also like to read the Unfinished Hero series.
Oh, who am I kidding - I want to read all her books!!

you know you're a KA groupie just like me,lol :D

And it's completely your fault, Melissa!

I know ~ I take full credit!!

I would be up for trying to read some more of hers. I've read the first one of the Rock Chick series and would like to continue that one. And I plan on reading some of her other series sometime.

This is a new to me author, but I'd love to give her books a try. I'm up for any of them.

I'm going to give it a try. I have actually never read any of her books. Going by the opinions of those of you who have, this should be a treat for me.

If I could get some recommendations for her books, maybe I'll try to join. I tried the rock chick series but she uses so many ethnic stereotypes in those books, I had to stop reading after book three.

Are there ones that are better?

*edited for clarification*

I'm in! I've never read any of her novels. I just bought the first book in the Colorado series. I'm excited because her books have received so many good reviews and there's nothing like reading really great books for the first time.

You could try Heaven and Hell. At this point it is a stand alone but I think she might write more into this series. Also you could try the Ghosts and Reincarnations series. See what you think of those. I think the other series might have the stereotypes you don't like - not sure.

Thanks, Melissa. I'll do that!

Hope you like them!

Voted for her. I've read The Colorado Mountain Series and loved her instantly, so I'm definitely in! :D

Sass you can also try unfinished heros and the burg.

Ok Kitten, I'll try those too. I did read Knight and liked that one, but haven't revisited them since after the whole Rock Chick debacle.

What's you found on Rock Chicks will appear in the Colorado Mountains series and Dream Man series.

Kitten wrote: "What's you found on Rock Chicks will appear in the Colorado Mountains series and Dream Man series."

Yep - that's why I didn't mention them for Sass and I think maybe the 'Burg series will have it too. Can't remember for sure.

I read that one recently and it's good to go. That was my first KA series. The only questionable area was Joes family. If you remember.

I really appreciate all of your help, ladies. Now, I'm actually looking forward to the challenge. :) Thanks so much!

Yeah!!

I'll participate!

I'm in! I haven't read anything by Kristen Ashley yet but I have the whole Rock Chick series.

I haven't read any of her books. Count me in.

I'm in! I've only read Rock Chick & Rock Chick Rescue so far. I'm really looking forward to reading the Colorado Mountain series among many others!

I read my first book by her (Rock Chick) for the November Monthly Challenge and I loved it so much I read the next two books in the series. I ended up not finishing my Challenge but it was worth it. So far I LOVE her books. I didn't vote for her but I'm really looking forward to participating.

I'm in, I've only read 1 book by her!

my Year of Kristen Ashley book shelf

I'm in! I'd like to finish the Rock Chick series so that's where I'll be putting most of my efforts in. Maybe I'll get to a few others.

I'm in. I've read quite a few of hers and I'm dying to read the rest.

Can I still sign up for this? Does it start January 1st?

I have read the Dream Man Series, Colorado Mountain Series, Unfinished Hero Series, Chaos Series and Rock Chick Series. I am about to start on the Burg Series. I love her books! I wanna be a Rock Chick!

I have read almost all of her contemporary books and I'm not interested in her fantasy ones.

In January I'll be reading:
Creed
Raid
