Type: Bundle, Series, Rock stars, Contemporary, Growing up together.
My Review: I'm going to start this review by saying I only read the first book in this series - but I will be reading the rest. I didn't want to review too many of them at once, because I was afraid I'd start to get characters confused with different plots. But while I don't think this is the best book ever, I did enjoy it. It's not good for the mind, maybe, but your soul loves it.
I did have some issues with the story - there are quite a few instances that would never happen in real life. But I can easily get past that, considering the reason I read fiction is that it is not real life. What I deeply disliked was how judgmental Em was. She called other women every name in the book, because they wanted to sleep with the guys. But Em also wanted to sleep with one of them, so she doesn't have too much ground to stand on. Oh, but that's different because it's lurve, right?
The next book in the series is queued up, ready for reading - so obviously I liked this well enough to need more.
Cover Lovin': Simple, and the title is hard to read, but not bad.
Recommendation: You'll want to read these in order, since the first book gives some of the band's backstory.
Final Rating: THREE POINT FIVE out of FIVE stars (3.5/5). This is what I would call crack-fic. You know it's not good for you, but you just don't want to stop.

THE ROCKER SERIES by
Terri Anne Browning
♫ The
Rocker Who Holds Me (The Rocker, #1)
Touring with four rockers is the thing of dreams…
At least that is what people tell me. To me those four rockers are my
family. They have watched over me from the time I was five years old.
Protecting me from my mother and her drunken, drug addict rages. When they made
it big they still watched over me. And when my monster of a mother died they
took over as my guardians. In the six years since that happened I have watched
over the four men that mean everything to me. I take care of them just as they
once took care of me. I handle all the dirty work behind the scenes of a
rockers life. It isn’t always pretty.
At times it can be damn near disgusting, especially when I have to get rid of
their one night stands. Ugh! Taking care of them doesn’t bother me though. I mean it’s not like I’m
in love with one of them. That would be crazy. Falling for a rocker is NOT
smart. Okay, so I’m not smart. I
love my guys, and one of them kind of holds my heart in his big old rocker
hand. But I’m dealing. I’ve been able to keep it my little
secret for years now. I'm not, however, dealing with this bug that I seem to
have caught. It scares the hell out of me. I hate doctors, but I’m suddenly more worried about finding out what is
wrong with me than what the doctor might do to me. When I get my test results
back my life will never be the same again…

♫ The
Rocker Who Savors Me (The Rocker, #2)

just to survive. Now she has two other people depending on her and she needs a

Thornton, the delicious drummer for Demon’s
Wings. He reminds her of all the mistakes of her past, but is also her hope for
the future. Jesse… …has never let
anyone in. The only real family he has ever had are his band brothers and Emmie—the
only woman he has ever loved. But then Layla comes into his life and he would
do just about anything to get one taste. Can he move past his own insecurities
and allow this woman into his heart?

♫ The Rocker Who Needs Me (The Rocker,
#3)
The Demon… I’ve
been fighting my own demons for most of my life. The alcohol seems to numb the
pain, but it never makes the nightmares go away. All I want in life is a little
peace. When I met my angel it felt like I found it, but there is so much
standing between us. Why does she have to be so young…? The Demon’s Angel…
Meeting Drake was the best thing to ever happen to me. I found my
friend, my soul mate. But he lets my age stand between us. There is something
that haunts him, and I selfishly want to be the one that helps him conquer his
ghosts. If he would just let me in, let me closer, I think I could help him…

♫ The
Rocker Who Loves Me (The Rocker, #4)
I was the fun loving, easy going, different girl—okay,
different girls every night—Demon. One look into a pair of violet eyes
and all of that changed. She doesn’t
even realize how beautiful she is and that makes me want her even more.
Realizing that she is just as damaged as I am breaks my heart. Harper is a part
of me, my other half. If only she would open her incredible eyes and see how I
feel… The Beauty…
I knew that I wasn’t Shane Stevenson’s
type. Hot rockers don’t go for plain
girls like me. Years of my mother telling me just how unbeautiful I am has
assured me of that. I have nothing to offer a guy that is so used to hot girls
drooling over him. So why is he always there when I turn around? And why does
it feel like little needles piercing my heart at the mere thought of him with
someone else?

♫ The
Rocker Who Holds Her (The Rocker, #5)
I had big dreams of how I wanted my life. Becoming a rock star
was all I wanted. It would solve so many of my problems. With the money that I
would make I was going to take care of my mom, get her out of the hell hole we
had been living in all my life. Having your dreams come true isn’t something that many people get to accomplish in
life. I did, and I loved it. For about a minute…
It’s funny how when
you think you have everything you could possible every want, your dreams
change. Mine did without my even realizing it. Then I opened my eyes and saw
that everything I ever wanted was standing in front of me. From the first day I
set eyes on Emmie she became a part of me. The guys and I spent years watching
over her, caring for her… Loving her. Then without my realizing
it my love for her changed. I found myself aching for her, wanting her in a way
that a guy like me had no right to want her. My love and need for Emmie became
an all-consuming ache that I was helpless to fight against. Would she ever open
those big green eyes and see me as anything but a friend?

♫ The
Rockers’ Babies (The Rocker,
#6)
After the nightmares of our childhoods my guys and I have finally
found the happiness we deserve. Shane is getting married, Drake and Jesse are
going to be fathers, and I’m making my own
career with Nik’s encouragement. It’s taken a lifetime, but finally we have moved on…
I should have known better than to think life was just going to be
simple from here on out. I knew from firsthand experience that right when you
get comfortable and content those bitches Fate throw a curve ball into the mix.
I wasn’t expecting the possible tragedy that
we are faced with. I’m the strong one,
the one that has to help the rest of them through the tough times, but I don’t know how strong I can be for them
through this… -Emmie

♫ The
Rocker Who Wants Me (The Rocker, #7)
Axton I thought I had everything I needed in life. More money
than I would ever spend in my lifetime. A successful band that traveled all
around the world. Girls throwing themselves at me on a daily basis. A kind of
pseudo family in the Demon’s Wings guys and
Emmie. And then she fell into my life. The second my eyes landed on the blonde
bombshell with her sassy mouth and those hot piercings and tats, I knew that I’d finally found someone I wanted for
life. Dallas I fell hard for a Rock God. When it was over, I was left
shattered. But I was stronger than anyone—especially my
mother—gave me credit for. I picked myself up and worked my ass off
to get through nursing school, putting the rest of my life on hold to finally
fulfill my dreams. When tragedy strikes, Dallas and Axton are thrown together
again. Dallas is along for the ride as OtherWorld goes on a three month tour.
Will Axton finally be able to convince her that his feelings go deeper than he
first let her see? Or will Dallas be left wondering if Axton Cage was just THE
ROCKER WHO WANTS ME?

♫ The
Rocker Who Cherishes Me (The Rocker, #8)
The marines took me from a Tennessee farm boy and turned me into
a hard man. Between the things I’d
seen during my tour of duty and the things I’d
done during my years as a member of OtherWorld, nothing could faze me. Nothing.
Except for HER. She’s everything that
is good in the world. At least, my world. Everything I’ve ever done has been for her. Always for her. I
feel as if I need her to breathe, to feel alive. But I can’t have Marissa. She’s to innocent, to damn perfect. And me? I’m not good enough for that girl. She
deserves better, someone who would spend their life CHERISHING her. Not
breaking her heart. Marissa Between my brother and Wroth Niall I’d been protected from the world for most of my
life. You would think I was still a little girl the way they treated me. But I
wasn’t made out of glass. It would take a
lot to break this girl. Because if a childhood cancer hadn’t kicked my butt, nothing would. Right? Wrong.
All I’ve ever wanted was for him to look at
me. Really look at me and see that I wasn’t
a fragile piece of porcelain that would break if he touched me. What I got was
a lot more…but nowhere close to enough. Once I touched heaven—at
least heaven for me—and now I didn’t know how to go back to what Wroth and I had had
before. I can’t go back to the
life I was living before my short time with Wroth. It would destroy me to stay
that close, when I know that I’m not what he
really wants. So when my brother asks me to go on tour with him yet again, I
decide to jump on that tour bus without a backwards glance. Only I wasn’t prepared to be stuck on HIS bus.

♫ The
Rocker Who Shatters Me (The Rocker, #9)
A Bet…
Yes, I made a bet with my best friend—my now ex-best
friend. It had been a stupid, heat of the moment kind of thing. I’d just wanted to get her out of my system and
move one. Instead I’ve lived to
regret it ever since. I lost the girl I loved, a girl that possessed my very
soul. Now I can’t even get close
to Natalie. She thinks all she ever meant to me was just the means to the end
of a stupid, stupid game. …For a Bet! In the span of one night I’d gone from thinking I had a future
with the man I loved to SHATTERED at his feet. I can’t get over it. The pain is too strong, too
destructive as it festers more and more inside of me. And then my friend came
up with the perfect revenge for both our broken hearts. “I bet you…”
Those three little words gave me a reason to ball my pain up and throw
it back in Devlin Cutter’s face. I would
let him back in, let him think he had a chance with me once again. And then I
would walk away, leaving him broken and bleeding at my feet as he once had left
me. This time he would be the one SHATTERED.

♫ The
Rocker Who Hates Me (The Rocker, #10)
Liam From the moment I set eyes on that brown eyed, little
Italian rock goddess I knew she was meant for me. But my life was too messed up
to give her what she needed. So I pushed her away—right into the arms
of my band’s front man—only
to regret it the second I saw them together. The moment they were over I tried
to clean up my act and chased after that girl until she was mine. But like
always, I let my demons screw with my head and went looking for my next fix. I
knew if she found out I would have to choose between the numbness that the
drugs gave me, and the best thing that had ever happened to me. I chose wrong.
Gabriella The second that I found out Liam was in a car accident that fateful
New Years Eve night, I knew I’d made the worst
mistake in not trying to fight for him. For us. I never should have pushed him
away, but tried to help him through his battle with addiction. When he woke up
in the hospital and saw me standing beside of him, I knew that I had killed the
love he had for me and all that was left was hate. Now, more than a year later,
I knew the truth about that crazy night. I knew why he’d pushed me out of his life, and I was going to
stop at nothing to get the man who owns me—heart and soul—back.
That is if I can survive the night…

♫ The
Rocker Who Betrays Me (The Rocker, #11)
Annabelle
I’ve always loved
Zander Brockman in some shape or form. The boy who lived next door for the
first seventeen years of my life has been my best friend, my confidant, my first
crush, and my first love. I trusted him with my life and my heart. When he
smiled at me I knew everything was going to be okay…
Until it wasn’t.
Zander
I haven’t seen that girl
in seventeen years, and I’ve missed her
every damn day. I knew I wasn’t good enough for
her, so the night before I left with my bandbrothers for California, I stole a
night with her. I lived off those memories. There hasn’t been a day that has gone by that I haven’t wanted to talk to her just one more
time, but I knew she deserved a better man than me. Now, after seeing her
again, I realize that I didn’t care if she
should have a better man. My feelings were still as strong as they have ever
been for her. I wanted to be with her…
But she hated the very sight of me.

♫ Forever
Rockers (The Rocker, #12)
My Happily Ever After was turning into a living nightmare…
All I wanted was Harper’s
happiness and I would move the world to give her anything she ever wanted. We’ve searched for answers, talked about
our options, and finally—FINALLY—found hope.
Yet, just when things seemed to be perfect, it all came crashing
down around us all. The one person I’ve
always counted on to hold us together—to hold me together—was
lost in her own nightmares and I felt like I was losing everything.
Everything.
I wasn’t going to lose
the woman I loved. I would hold onto her until the last breath left my body. It
was my mistakes that were hurting us and I would be the one to fix it. I wouldn’t let my past ruin my forever with
Harper.
