The Rocker Who Holds Me Volume 1 Terri Anne Browning 9781500832391 Books

There are a lot of romance novels out there from the sweetest to the darkest. I've always wanted to read a rockstar romance, but I wasn't sure what book to pick up until I came across The Rocker Who Holds Me, the first book in The Rocker series written by USA Today bestselling author Terri Anne Browning. Though the series is pretty long, the blurb for the first book blew me away and I couldn't resist the urge to buy it.

In short, Ember Jameson had a rough start in life because she had to endure the recurrent beating of her alcoholic mother who made her days a living hell. But luckily for Emmie, she always found refuge in Nikolas Armstrong’s trailer. He took care of her and nursed her wounds like an older brother would along with his friends and members of the rock group, named Demon’s Wings. A few years later, Emmie became part of their extended family lived in their van and took the unofficial role of the band’s tour manager, which can be Ember’s act of gratitude for those years when the guys protected her and showed her the affection she never had at home. She loved all four men like they were her family, so she mothered them, arranged interviews and even managed the dirty work from backstage. If Emmie sees Jesse, Shane and Drake as her older brothers, she harbours distinct feelings for Nik and she ends up doing something pretty silly and desperate to quench her desire for the sinfully sexy singer. To be honest, that particular scene is one of my favourite scenes in the book, but I don’t want to enter into a spoilery territory. As if it wasn’t enough to be eaten by doubts regarding Nik’s feelings for her, something else happens along the way and somehow Emmie didn’t see it coming because of her busy schedule with the band and their tours. How will she explain everything to Nik and how will the singer face the music?

All characters are morally-grey which is a sign of authenticity because this is a rockstar romance and some celebs tend to ease the pressure of fame by indulging into addictions. In this case, the rockers tend to get drunk very often and enjoy one-nightstands with groupies. Each member of the band is pretty well fleshed out and each one of them has a distinct voice and personality. For example, Drake loves booze and doesn’t like taking showers, Shane enjoys sex a lot more than his buddies, Jesse loves getting into fights because he has a bad temper and. Nik swings between caring for Emmie and making her suffer. As for Ember, she is a responsible person when it comes to her professional duties, but her desires make her act without thinking of the consequences and, later on, she regrets being selfish and taking advantage of Nik. Though Emmie is sometimes naive and unreliable, I loved her voice very much because it felt sincere and it pulled me into the story from the first page.

"Nik’s voice drives the female population crazy. The huskiness mixed with gravel and seduction is a caress to that dark place between a woman’s legs. I’m nowhere near immune to it and find myself letting my desire show as I stand there watching the band preform." (Loc.270)

By reading The Rocker Who Holds Me, we break the barriers of the stage and take a sneak peek at the tumultuous lives of the four members of Demon’s Wings through Emmie’s eyes. We witness her happy moments and breaking points which make the reader cheer for her or feel sorry. This is not a sweet romance, but a story with ups and downs, abuse, music, lust, heartbreak, jealousy, but also humour, love and hope. There’s something in this book for every romance reader interested in this subgenre. The writing is simple, seasoned with f-bombs that suit the story well, the story is very visual and easy to follow and Emmie’s voice makes you root for her from the very start.

The Rocker Who Holds Me Volume 1 Terri Anne Browning 9781500832391 Books Reviews

This was a good book, or it at least had the potential to be a good book if it had been longer than 60 pages. However, I'm writing this review after reading some of the other books in the series, so I guess I'm a little biased. But even though I have read some of the others, I still wish Nik and Emmie's (Ember) story had been longer. I mean we do get more of their story in "The Rocker Who Holds Her" which is in Nik's point of view, but most of it is in the past so we barely get anything on the present. So I gave it 4 stars because of the series and because of the potential the book has if it were to be rewritten as a longer book.

I would recommend the Series and not this book by itself, to anyone who enjoys a good rockstar series.
I just re-read this book and still love it. Ember Jameson had a pretty tragic and nightmarish life growing up. Her mother was pretty much the stuff of nightmares. She was always doing drugs and had men over all the time and didn't care about her little girl. When she was 5 years old, she met the boys that would always be a part of her life. Before Demon's Wings were a band, they all lived in the same trailer park as Ember and they always took care of her. Her mother died when she was 15 years old and they all came back for her. She's been with them ever since. For the past 6 years, she has been with them nonstop and she does everything she can to make their lives better. But Emmie finds out that she's pregnant and it's Nik's baby (the lead singer).

Emmie had a horrible childhood and a monster of a mother. Nik, Jesse, Drake, and Shane are the ones that have always cared about her and done their best to protect her. She has never had to question their love. But she realized that her feelings for Nik were different and so strong. She didn't think he could ever feel for her what she felt for him.

Nik is the lead singer of Demon's Wings but Emmie is his whole world. He's wanted her for years but didn't think he was good enough for her. He always thought their night together was just one of his many dreams of them together. He wants her and their baby more than anything.

Definitely worth reading.
The Rocker Who Holds Me was the first book in the Rocker series by Terri Anne Browning.

It was written from a single POV, Emmy’s. Emmy was a child when she met the guys of the future rock band, “Demon’s Wings.” They were all kids but Emmy was the youngest at age five. Her mother frequently beat her and the boys shielded her and took care of her as much as they could. When her mother died when she was fifteen, the boys were famous and rich by then and were able to get guardianship. She traveled with them, eventually over the six year period, began taking care of their travel and tour arrangements. She was as close to them as any brother or sister.

Nik was the lead singer for the Demon’s Wings. He was gorgeous and talented, writing most of the songs for the band. Together with Emmy, the Demon’s Wings were his family.

Browning told a sweet tale in The Rocker Who Holds Me. It was novella length so it got to the point quickly. I loved the characters and the story. So much so, that I wanted more. More depth. More detail. More elaboration on feelings. There was so much backstory within the band that I craved to hear the details. The past hinted to pain, suffering and emotion, but unfortunately it was only touched upon here. Hopefully we’ll get more detail as the series progresses. In the meantime, Jesse is next in The Rocker That Savors Me. I loved Jesse, so I can’t wait!
