Publisher's summary

They were just a couple of tweets, but they propelled actress and Playboy playmate Carrie Stevens into the headlines, as stories swirled about sexual harassment in the movie industry and President Trump’s alleged affairs.

Besieged by the media, Carrie was shocked and astounded at the frenzy these tweets aroused. It convinced her that she needed to write her memoir. Her attitude: If they think these stories are sensational, just wait until they hear about all of her life’s adventures. The result is Unrated: Revelations of a Rock ‘n’ Roll Centerfold, the memoir of an unimaginable evolution from small-town girl, to an extraordinary life in the fast lane. A life in which she had intimate encounters with marquee celebrities from all walks of life - rock stars, Oscar-winning actors, movie stars, royalty, a future president, sports legends, and billionaires.

It’s a life she shared with the privileged and the powerful that took her from Kiss' tour bus to the Playboy Mansion, hopping on private jets at a moment’s notice and cruising the Mediterranean on mega yachts, and even six months as a “guest” in the exotic harem of the prince of Brunei. Carrie candidly admits that she chose to become a sex object because she couldn’t escape being treated like one. She takes you on an unapologetic, whirlwind adventure of debauchery, dysfunction, and heartache with humor and wisdom.

Carrie reflects on the tornado of emotional torture she’s endured and the choices she has made, including life as a single mother. Her story is more than that of survival. It’s about soulmates. In her quest for what matters most in life, (and 29 after his passing) Carrie can’t let go of her love for her late boyfriend Eric Carr, drummer for the rock band Kiss. Yet, through the years, she has found a way to embrace the loss and use it as her guiding light. Eric will always be the heart and soul of her story.

Non-stop fun

This was a recommended book, so my expectations were low. The book was fun to listen to and very real. And Ms. Stevens delivery is very enjoyable. Full of movie stars, rock stars and sports legends, this is an excitable ride.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover - or centerfold!

This memoir is a fascinating story about the life of Carrie Stevens - a small town girl who became a fixture in the 80’s rock scene, an actress and Playboy Playmate who has dated some of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the country. The book is read by herself and you really get to understand her as person, gain empathy for the loss and sadness she experienced and respect for her drive and ability to overcome all odds! GREAT book! Loved every minute of it!

An Unexpected Love Story

They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. In this case, the words written by Ms. Stevens are priceless. Both men and women who judged this book by the cover are in for a pleasant surprise. Carrie takes you on a trip down memory lane that is packed with passion, adventure and self discovery. You will feel as if you are on that journey with her through some of the best and worst times of her life as she seamlessly weaves the life lesson she learned into each compelling chapter.

From the rebelliously ambitious young girl following her dreams, through the joys of love, heartbreak of loss and many outrageously wild and mischievous adventures along the way.....Carrie speaks her truth with humor, sincerity and authenticity. You not only get to hear, but also feel each raw emotion with her. I found myself tearing up and laughing along with her. I really enjoyed the introspective moments throughout the book. The questions we ask ourselves about who we are, why we did or did not do something and all the What If's, Why Not's and WTF's are we gonna do next?? She says them out loud and it feels like we are discovering those answers for ourselves right along with her.

In this book, Carrie reveals far more of herself in words than she ever did on the pages of PlayBoy.

I highly recommend Revelations of a Rock N Roll Centerfold to all, but especially to women who may have judged the book cover negatively.

Raw Honesty

I loved this unabashed auto-biotragedy. The events of her memoir is well-conveyed through raw, riveting, narration.

Brilliant! Riveting! Raw!

The author’s story will make you laugh, cry, and gasp. Carrie Stevens adeptly takes you into her world, her mind, and her heart, like no other author I have read.

I empathized as a kindred spirit with her long-term grief and the honoring of her beloved. It does all come down to self-acceptance and not allowing the judgment of others to dull your sparkle.

Ultimately, this is a story about a brave, passionate, American female’s journey of personal growth.

I am grateful the author narrated the book herself. She did an amazing job of being very real with all of her emotions and I admire her for her honesty. It was so good, I will probably listen to it again.

Could not stop listening! Great stories & beautiful tribute to Eric Carr

Thank you so much for sharing your life. I was blown away with your story and by the end I felt so inspired.

Fascinating journey

Loved it! Carrie is awesome as the narrator! Such a great book to listen to.

Life is beautiful!!

What an amazing life it was great hearing Carrie’s biography (so far) in her own voice. Her excellent writing felt like I was living in her shoes. Saw descriptive, honest and raw about the highs and lows. She embodies the Hunter Thompson quote ““Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

Devoured this!

I loved this book. I am not even a big KISS fan but I love her rock star encounters. She lived out my teenage fantasy.
Full of ups and downs, she has truly had an imperfect, crazy life. Defiantly a book for those of us that grew up in the 80's and 90's and love rock music.

What a ride!

This was such an awesome book! Carrie never lets us down! Every chapter is packed with exciting moments. I didn’t think a book could be as good as Bobbi Browns Rocker boys! But this is just as good as Bobbi’s… I hope these Rocker girls have financial independence, they too were the backbone for some of these men when they fell sick or in love! It’s nice to read the ladies side of the story.
Good job Carrie! You lived a great life!
One more thing. That father of Jaxson is a creep be happy he is gone! Jaxson is better off, you’re as well! Every time I see Diamond Dave I’m going to think of you! Lol.. I’m from Massachusetts , we see cows and trees and there is no excitement. Wish I had the nerve to move! No shame either in not being married . I’m 48 and not married but never wanted that for myself. Marriage is a prison in my opinion. To each their own!
I would highly Recommend this book to others and will do so!
