The Rocker Who Needs
Me (The Rocker…Series,
Book 3) by Terri Anne Browning
Drake’s
Journey out of Darkness and Despair Brings More Drama to the Demon’s Wings
The third book in The Rocker…Series intertwines
slightly with the time frame of the previous book. Guitarist Drake Stevenson
might be hung over but it isn’t a drunk fog that causes him to see an angel. At
least that’s how he thinks of Layla’s sister Lana from the first moment he
meets her.
But with the numbers ‘one’ and ‘seven’ flashing across his
brain, 31 year old Drake can’t wrap his head around the emotions he feels
toward a straight A high school senior even though that doesn't stop him from
taking long walks on the beach with her, drawing her pictures, or taking her
shopping.
Readers know from the previous two books that Drake indulges
in excessive drinking to numb his painful past. The prologue further reveals
how tragic the gang’s life was prior to stardom, establishing the reason for
Drake’s decent into alcoholism. His
penchant for the bottle is the catalyst for many of Drake’s screw-ups with his
relationship with Lana, which ultimately must set him on the road to recovery.
The Rocker Who Needs Me, while still delivering the
HEA at the end, is darker than its predecessors but, given Drake’s
struggles, it fits the story, however shocking the scenes play out. “Oh no, he
didn’t just do that!” I was left gaping, more times than once.
Can Drake get clean and keep from falling off the wagon? Can
Lana forgive Drake for his indiscretions or will she make a new college life
for herself in New York ? How will a new career opportunity affect
Drake’s future?
