The Rocker Who Holds
Me (The Rocker…Series, Book 1) by Terri Anne Browning
5+ Stars
Welcome to the
Demon’s Wings Saga!
The Rocker Who Holds Me kicks off The
Rocker…Series with an introduction to the band, Demon’s Wings, via Emmie
and her tale of which Demon rocker holds her heart.
Green eyed, auburn haired, 21 year old Ember Jameson has
bonded to the four rocker stars (Nik, Jesse, Drake, and Shane) she tours with
who have taken her under their wing as they all share difficult childhoods
growing up together in a run down trailer park unbeknownst to their fans. She
is their unofficial manager taking care of them as adults much like they took
care of her as a child. Emmie is content
being perceived as a “little sister” to all of the guys except one—the one
she’s fallen in love with.
But what’s a girl to do when the boy she wants doesn't seem
to notice, or so Emmie thinks. And when Emmie’s health takes a turn for the
worse, she’s even sicker over telling him what’s wrong. (This scene is one of the best). After many years on tour the band is ready for
a break, but are they ready for the changes that are to come in their lives?
Emmie is strong, fiery, and doesn't take crap while being
loving, selfless, and sometimes insecure.
The first person POV narrative captures Emmie’s toughness as well as her
naivety, which doesn't seem off base when you consider that she has not lived a
normal childhood or adolescence. Abused
by her mother and raised on the road by four male rockers from the age of
fifteen, Emmie’s not exactly your average twenty-one year old girl.
Emmie’s love story is sweet, sexy, and at times mysterious
with her rocker love’s feelings unknown till the later half of the book. And
even then when his side of the story is sparce, not to worry. This is only the
opening act as her big bad rocker gets his own story in The Rocker Who Holds Her, and in
between the rest of the guys get theirs. If you find yourself wondering about
something, rest assured it will probably come into play in a later book. The
whole series is just deliciously designed that way.
As for Emmie’s story, there is a perfect HEA and no
cliffhanger. More details on her new roles with the band follow in the next
book and future books. Throughout the series, the band’s back story further
develops for the reader as the band members deal with their own demons while
finding their true loves. Has Nik finally gotten what he wants? Can Jesse reign
in his temper? Will Drake beat his alcohol addiction? And how much kinky stuff
is Shane into?
Next, is Jesse ready to settle down?
