The Rocker Who Shatters Me (The Rocker Series Book 9)

Don't skip this story because of my 3 stars I gave. This Devlin & Natalie's story is so worth of your time. You gonna spend it in an amazing rock world, created by Terri. Which she always rock!

The story start's with how happy Nat & Dev is in their relationship. Which slowly becomes something special. They enjoy just being together. But one night everything shatters. Nat finds out about Zanders and Devlin's bet. Which ripped her heart out. Made her think that everything was a big fat lie. What they have was nothing but a bet. She was nothing but a bet. Absolutely nothing to him.

So, a year passes. Which didn't made Natalie feel any less shattered. She hurts. Hurts a lot. And isn't happy that she have to go and represent Emmie in charity event because HE will be there too. She don't wanna to see him. And Nat don't know, which reason more bothers her. That she will kick him in the balls, or will jump him and kiss him, if she sees him again. Which, by the way, the last happens. They end up spending night together. In the morning Nat scared runs. More then for one reason. One of them they don't used any protection and she could be pregnant. In which Nat taunts Dev, that she taken care of it, by using the Plan B pill.

Few weeks later the bands tour begins. Nat have to be in the OtherWorld bus. And does means in close proximity with Dev. Which she tries to avoid as much as possible. But now there would be no chance of it. Dev tries to talk to her. That she listen to his "I'm sorry." speech. But Nat don't wanna to hear it. She's afraid. Afraid for the reason he's sorry. It's because the true come out and he lost an easy lay, or because it have broken something more than s*x. Something precious. Nat knows it would break her with no return if the reason is No.1. So, she runs everytime. And then Marissa, who is in her own world of pain, because of Wroth, offers that they make their own bet. To hurt them as much, as they hurt them.

Since we have Dev POV, we "see" in his head. And we know, that he's very sorry for hurting Nat with the bet. Dev knows, he f*cked up big time. The last year was the hardest time he ever had. He's hurting too. He's missing Nat a lot. He loves her. He's breaking not being able to have her in his arms. Dev tries to talk, to explain, but...Everytime he opens his mouth to express his feelings, she runs away. Which hurts him more and more, thinking he lost the most important person in his world.

Weeks fly. They spend time together. Which makes so hard for Nat to ignore her feelings for Dev. So, they end up together again. Dev ask, he pleads her to give him a chance. She does, but Nat don't know, if she doing it because of the bet or because she can't fight her heart anymore and believes that Dev cared about her just a little more then a bed partner.

In a while it seems everything goes amazing for them. They seems to get closer and happy. And then her brothers and other Demons members finds out about the bet. Which in turn is a good thing. Because this makes Nat to confess her love out loud to stop bloodshed, her brothers want to spill. Her confession makes Devlin feel like in heaven. He admits his own love for her. They are elated. They talk. But then he says someting about their night together on charity evening, and Nat knows they happy time is short lived. Because she have a secret. Of which I had a suspicion through the story, because of small snippets given there and there. And made me thinking. Did she really took the Plan B?

Will this secret make Dev feel betrayed? And bring him back in time of the memories connected to his son, Harris? In turn making him push Nat away?

Or will it make him feel like he finally have everything he ever wanted in his life? Will grab it with both hands and never let it go?

I just finished this book and all I can think is "seriously with all these reviews." The book was not about some epic romances it was about sex and two really unlikable people. Don't get me wrong I enjoy a good steamy romances but they did more humping then loving. You have Nat the younger girl who date the Dev the older rocker guy, who make a bet with a best friend to see who will sleep with her first. Like in most books it comes out and a fight breaks out between Dev and his Best friend. Nothing more is sad after the fight and boom its a year later. Nat is still working for the bands and is forced to spend company with Dev due to a charity event. The author tries to portray Nat as this strong, independent good girl, but her action say different. Nat tries hard to be cold towards Dev but after one dance she is back in the sack with him. Its hard to really like the characters. Nat is a hot mess... she is quick to blame him for things she is responsible for. She initiates public sex and blames him.... she provokes a fight for no reason but to hurt him (when it totally unnecessary). As for Dev.... he is a immature pig. He is a single father of 15 year old boy, and the things that comes out of his mouth Dev mouth comes off like total trash. This is a sample of what i mean "The smirk on his face was so much like my own at times I just wanted to punch him in the mouth." ( really who acts like that) There was really no romance, the closes thing to romance is when Dev cuddle her when she isnt feeling good. This book was hard to finish the sex was over do and the story was boring. As for the end I had my fill with both characters that drawn out happy ending which frankly was so unrealistic.

The Rocker that Shatters Me takes place a year after Natalie learned the truth about Zander and Devlin’s bet to bed her. She broke up with Devlin and ended her friendship with Zander. These two men who were once best friends can’t stand to be in the same room with one another. But now it’s time to go on tour and Natalie will be staying on Other World’s bus for three months. How can she be in such close quarters with Devlin, the man that shattered her heart, for that length of time?

I’m a huge Terri Anne Browning fan and have read every book in this series. I loved Demon Wings, and I’m so glad to be getting a glimpse into OtherWorld. One thing I loved about this book is how Terri's characters from previous books overlaps into the current story allowing the reader to see how their favorite characters of the past are doing in the present. That is a wonderful concept and when done correctly it makes the story that much better. I can't wait to see what the future holds for one of our Rocker families.

Shatters Me is told in a dual point of view, allowing the reader to see how remorseful Devlin is for hurting Natalie. Being with her was the best time of his life. He realizes that he loves and misses her and wants her back. But After making a bet of her own, Natalie allowed Devlin back into her life with the intentions of teaching him a lesson but learned one instead.

Devlin and Natalie's story is not favorite book of the series. After reading this book, I believe, based on the time frame that this story could have been told with Cherishes Me. If you follow the series obsessively like I do, you may have noticed there were a few repetitious scenes from book 8. I understand that importance of those moments to the story, but I wanted Devlin and Natalie's story to be their own. Retelling scenes from the previous book verbatim seemed to take away from that. Don't get me wrong there was more to Shatters Me than just rehashing the previous book but the few scenes that were there stood out to me,

Overall, The Rocker That Shatters Me was an ok read and a necessary installment to the Rocker Series. I would highly recommend the entire series but would not suggest reading them as a standalone. To get the full effect, you must start with the beginning to understand the end. You would not go wrong with this author, series or book.

I am torn on how to express my feelings regarding this new installment to Terri Anne Browning’s The Rocker series. As usual, I love how Terri Anne bring the characters alive. It’s just that the story is a little predictable or maybe it’s just because I am now used to how these rockers actually think that the element of surprise is now lost.

The story is great or most appropriately the way Terri Anne Browning tells an ordinary plot and make it feel extraordinary was amazing. What I love about this story is not the romance between Nat and Dev per se, but rather, I love that this is great way to tell a story of friendship, family, betrayal and love. I love how everyone kept a close knit especially in times when another is having some trouble. The story of friendship, betrayal and forgiveness between Natalie, Zander and Devlin was really heart touching. I came to love Harris too. It’s nice to see the little ones of the hot rockers growing up as you read along the series. It made me curious about what might happen between Harris and Lucy in the near future and if whether Jenna was really what she claimed she was.

All in all, this was another wonderful read from Terri Anne Browning.

Natalie Stevenson is Emmie's right hand girl and helps to manage the thousand and one details necessary for Demons Wings and OtherWorld. We learned a little bit in the previous two books about the bet that Zander and Devlin made about who would get her into bed first. It was a stupid bet and one that bit Devlin Cutter in the ass. By the time Zander told Natalie about it, Devlin was in love with her and he was equally shattered when Natalie broke up with him. She won't talk to him and won't give him a chance to explain. Zander and Devlin were once best friends and now can't stand each other.

Natalie's heart may be broken, but she still protects Devlin. She knows if her brothers Shane and Drake find out about the bet, he's a dead man. So she suffers in silence and is dreading going on tour with the two bands, but she will just have to suck it up-that's her job and she can be a professional.

The two of them are explosive together. When Natalie cuts her long, flowing hair, into almost a pixie cut, she does it to make Devlin hurt. She knows her hair is her biggest turn on for him, so she isn't surprised to see his shock and hurt when he sees it. She just didn't count on his reaction hurting her so much.

"What the f#*k did you do, Nat?" His voice was pained, his eyes dark with hurt. "All that beauty, gone. Why would you do that?"

Devlin does all he can do to get Natalie alone so he can explain things to her. But when they are alone, jealousies come to the surface and lust overpowers everything and they have angry, fantastic sex. But the next day always seems to bring remorse for Natalie and that always seems to cause Devlin pain.

"Yes. I'm leaving. Last night shouldn't have happened."
"But it did, and now you regret it." He clenched his jaw. "And you don't want to take about it. Like you never want to talk about anything that has to do with us. Typical Natalie. Running away like a scared little girl."

They are in an endless cycle, one neither of them seems capable of breaking. But there is lots of drama surrounding them. Shane and Harper are still contending with the nut job that is out to hurt Harper, Wroth and Melissa are working out their problems, Jesse and Layla are having some angst because she wants another baby and he won't risk her health again. Emmie is trying to juggle her hectic life with managing the bands and being a mom and wife. Fortunately, Drake and Lana and Axton and Dallas are pretty stable and looking forward to baby number two.

This latest installment in The Rocker series met all my expectations and then some. I know there are only a couple more-Zander's and that little snippet that Ms. Browning gave us for Liam and Gabriella's story-that was just torture!! Holy Hell I can't wait for their story to come out.

Finally I lifted my eyes to meet his gaze. My breath caught in my lungs when I saw that his eyes were still shining down at me with love. For so long I'd thought that I would never see that look in his eyes, that I was nothing more than a distraction for him. Maybe one he'd become addicted to at the most because he hadn't simply moved on after that bet.

The Rocker Who Shatters Me

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 Review:

This is book nine in The Rocker Series, and I have to say that Terri Anne Browning does it again. I have read every book in this series, and I continue to be impressed with the stories and the characters. I have wanted to read this story for a while now, because having read the previous books, you were introduced to the characters and to the bet that shattered the fragile romance between Devlin and Natalie. Now we finally have our answers. Terri is a great writer who has a habit of always leaving us wanting more. She flawlessly weaves her stories together, introducing characters that you want to know more about, and that you become invested in. They are also characters that continue to appear throughout the series, so you always know what is going on with your favorites.

Natalie is a woman who is not afraid to stand up for herself, and is hardworking, loyal, and loving. Despite the fact that two people she cared about betrayed her in the worst way, she still found it within herself to protect them from her brothers wrath. While Natalie had been in love with Devlin, and thought that what they shared was real, her life was turned upside down when the bet was revealed to her. She didn’t know whether to trust her head or her heart anymore. Choosing to withdraw from the situation, she built walls up to protect her heart from the man who continues to be a presence in her life. The only problem with the job that she loves is that she is forced into uncomfortable situations where she has to be around both Devlin and Zander. Though she wants to be able to move on from him, Devlin found his way into her heart and she has a hard time letting him go. In a moment of weakness, she makes a bet with her friend to get Devlin to fall in love with her and then leave him. Breaking his heart in the same way that he broke hers. The problem is, the more time she spends with him, the more old feelings resurface.

Devlin is a man living with regrets. In a moment of stupidity, he made a bet with his then best friend and band mate Zander, to see who could get into Natalie’s panties first. The only thing he never counted on was the fact that he came to truly care for her. Rather than tell her how he really felt, he let her go on believing it was all a game. That moment cost him the friendship that had helped him through the toughest situations in his life, as well as the woman that he fell for. His own son appeared to have turned his back on him for his thoughtless choices. Being forced to watch Natalie from afar for so long, Devlin decides that he will do everything in his power to win her back. Including going head to head with her brothers when the truth comes out.

This is a love story about two people who never thought that they would be able to open up and trust another person again. Two people who fought their feelings for one another until it burst out in a moment of passion. A moment that changes the course of their lives forever. When these two people come together, sparks ignite, leaving others blind in their wake. Will they be able to overcome their worst fears, and all the pain and suffering of their past to build a future together? Only time will tell.

I think that Terri Anne has created a world that readers love. The characters are intriguing, the writing is enjoyable, and the story lines keep you coming back for more. She does a great job of presenting a dual POV where the writing doesn’t overlap. I absolutely loathe when authors use dual POV that equals the exact same scenes word for word. Terri Anne always manages to provide a new perspective into a scene that you may have had a taste of before. I love that the males in these stories are extremely protective of their women. Once they commit they are in it for life. Not only is this a story about rock stars, and the crazy life that they live, it is a story of family and loyalty. Something that this author excels in writing about. I love that while they may not all be related by blood, or may not have grown up together, it is clear that they are a cohesive unit. Plus, it always cracks me up that everyone is so scared of Emmie, the little redhead with a big mouth and even bigger personality.

Overall, I highly recommend this book and this series. I do suggest reading the books in order for maximum enjoyment, and a clear understanding of what is going on with the characters. As a bonus, at the end of this book, an excerpt from the next Rocker Series book, The Rocker Who Hates Me was provided. Can I just say wow? I am absolutely looking forward to this next book. Don’t forget that The Rocker Who Shatters Me is now live! You can one-click away!

“The sound of that voice was like a caress. It skimmed over every nerve in my body, awakening it for a passion that had consumed me just as badly as my love for him once had. I closed my eyes and let the anger I still felt ten months later fill me. Anger was better than the love, the pain. It was so much better than having to prick myself on the sharp shards of broken heart that still laid in my chest because I hadn’t been able to put it back together after he had shattered it. Shattered me.”

As hinted in The Rocker Who Wants Me and The Rocker Who Cherishes Me, Natalie Stevenson was involved in a bit of a “love triangle” with OtherWorld drummer Devlin Cutter and his buddy, bassist Zander. Or more like Devlin loves her; Zander just wanted to win a bet. And a bet is the root of all evil for Dev and Natalie’s relationship. A bet that landed Devlin a concussion; Zander cracked ribs and a broken nose; and Natalie a shattered heart.

And the bets didn’t end there.

A revenge bet, turning the tables on Devlin and Wroth by swooning, bedding, and dumping the rocker of their dreams, is what Natalie and Marissa, feeling hurt and betrayed, cooked up. But then Wroth finally stepped up to the plate and won back Marissa’s heart. (And oh boy did he ever. If you haven’t read The Rocker Who Cherishes Me, grab it now and read Wroth’s epic sweeping of Marissa off her feet.) So where did that leave Nat’s plans?

“It was going to be hard enough to keep from letting my heart get involved all over again, and I was still questioning my own ability to follow through with the bet. Could I really shatter Devlin the way he’d shattered me?” –Natalie

Well bedding Devlin again really isn’t the hard part of Natalie’s dilemma. It happens quite instinctively…often… and with raging passion. There are some great hot scenes in this one, public and private! Nat and Dev are one of those couples that have tons of tension and chemistry, but they keep reading each other wrong. Nat can’t get past the bet and the feeling that she’s nothing more than a lay to Dev, and Devlin, well he just can’t stay away from her, even if it puts his life and limbs in danger from her brothers.

“I can’t help how I look at her, Em. It would be like telling myself to stop breathing to stop looking at her like that.” –Devlin

What will Shane and Drake do when they find out about the bet? Will Dev and Zander have the wrath of the Demon’s Wings reigning down on them? And how will one slip-up affect Nat and Dev’s future?

I adored Nat and Dev as a couple; I just felt their spark....And I developed a bit of a crush on Devlin Cutter. Dev is a sexy, slightly hot-headed, single dad to a teenage son, and Terri does a great job of making their relationship feel realistic given their ages and background history. Natalie is cute, tough, and vulnerable all in one. She does her best to keep the OtherWorld boys in line as part of her job even when she’s dealing with her own turmoil, most of which is caused by two of the rockers she’s in charge of.

So if you want a sizzling rocker read to curl up with by the fire or under the twinkling tree lights, The Rocker Who Shatters Me is most definitely the one new release to 1-click and spend your holidays with OtherWorld. You might even find out what happened to the Christmas stockings in the Cutter household and what Dev has planned for Nat. Plus wait till you read the sneak peak of the 10th book in the series, The Rocker Who Hates Me...just a few pages but it's filled with excitement and drama!

Worshipped. Loved. Consumed.

That’s exactly how Natalie Stevenson felt while in her relationship with rocker, Devlin Cutter until she learned the truth – or what she thought was truth, but nothing is ever as clear cut as it seems.

Used. Betrayed. Shattered.

Even a year after learning her relationship with Devlin was based on a bet, those are still the feelings that consume Natalie and threaten to tear her down on a daily basis, especially since they are still in each other’s lives and her love and desire for him hasn’t wavered.

Devlin Cutter knows he messed up by making that bet with Zander and for not telling Natalie the truth about it or his true feelings for her, and now he’s in the dog house with not only Natalie but his son as well, and he has been since the truth came out. But how does he fix his relationship with Natalie when she won’t talk to him? How does he make her see that she has him body and soul when she can’t get past how and why their relationship began? And what happens when Natalie tries to turn the tables on Devlin and give him a taste of his own medicine? Turnabout is fair play, too bad Natalie’s not a very good player, and things only get further complicated by this new ploy.

In The Rocker Who Shatters Me, the answers to those questions and more play out as readers witness what a lack of communication and secrets and lies can do to a couple who clearly love each other but can’t see past the mistakes that have already occurred. Because the story is told through both Natalie and Devlin’s perspectives, readers are able to understand just how much damage their separation is doing to both of them. There’s a lot of tension surrounding them, and it only intensifies as they embark on a tour together and are forced to be on the same bus for an extended amount of time. Devlin sees it as his chance to truly show Natalie how he feels about her, but in order for that plan to work, she has to give him the time of day, which is easier said than done when it comes to the stubborn woman who owns his heart.

Natalie and Devlin’s story is a great addition to Terri Anne Browning’s The Rocker series. If readers have kept up with the last few books, readers have been privy to some of the details of their connection. Both characters are a bit frustrating, at times, because it seems like all they need to do is actually have a heartfelt conversation and get everything out in the open for their relationship to get back on track. But Natalie’s hesitancy does make sense. Her heart was shattered by Devlin’s betrayal, and it’s going to take time to get over that ordeal, but some of her actions truly show her naiveté, which makes sense because she’s only 22 to Devlin’s 36. She’s definitely a strong and tenacious heroine, and she’s had to be due to her upbringing and the ordeals she had to go through. Devlin’s determination to reclaim the woman he loves waivers throughout the story. He wants to prove himself to her, which illustrates how much better of a man he is with Natalie by his side.

One aspect I love about this entire series is how much of a family all of these rockers and significant others are. Yes, some of them are related my blood, but their bonds go beyond that and that is clearly illustrated throughout each book, and it’s definitely shown in Natalie and Devlin’s story. They step up for each other; have one another’s back at all times, and that’s what makes this series such an appealing one to readers. We get to watch relationships evolve; lives move forward. We don’t have to say goodbye, at least not yet, to the characters we grown to love in the previous books because they’re still here as the series progresses.

The Rocker Who Shatters Me has all of the components of a great read: great writing, complex characters, dual perspectives, steamy scenes, and enough angst and complications to keep readers invested. This book and series are definitely worth a read!

4 poison apples

Oh goooosh!!! This. book. Ever since I got addicted to The Rocker series, Devlin and Natalie’s book was THE book I was waiting for. I mean, look at that blurb! I’m such a sucker for these types of books where the hero has to win back the heroine’s love. These books just make my heart ache, and The Rocker Who Shatters Me did it perfectly.

The Rocker Who Shatters Me is another addicting book from Terri Anne Browning. It’s my second favorite of the series so far, right below Drake’s book. I totally adore the characters in The Rocker world, and I loved seeing more of the members of OtherWorld.

When Natalie found out about the bet between Devlin and Zander, her heart was shattered, rightly so. She loved Devlin, and she was devastated to find out that their relationship started on a lie. She wants nothing to do with him now, but as Emmie’s assistant, Natalie unfortunately has to interact with the OtherWorld band members, which includes Devlin.

I liked Natalie, but it was Devlin who made the book for me. It’s so obvious that Devlin wholeheartedly loves Natalie, bet or no bet. It was a mistake to make the bet in the first place, but losing Natalie just makes Devlin all the more determined to win her back and have her in his life for good.

"This was my girl. My woman. I wanted, needed–loved her more than anything on the planet. Without her I had nothing, was nothing."

Devlin and Natalie have a great chemistry together, and Devlin uses that to try to get Natalie back. Natalie resists, but it’s hard to keep resisting when Devlin says things like this…:

“You have got to be blind if you don’t see how much I care about you. Every day I wake up without you in my arms is another day I suffer the fires of hell. All I want is you beside me, baby.”

Natalie has a hard time believing Devlin, but Devlin won’t stop until he wins back her love, heart, and trust.

It’s so easy to fall in love with Terri Anne Browning’s characters. You become so invested in all of them, and Devlin and Natalie are no different. I adored their story, though it was a little repetitive in the beginning. My heart was aching from how much Devlin needed Natalie back. Seeing him winning back her love is just the best thing ever! I’m so happy with their story, and now I’m CRAZY excited for the next book!

The Rocker Who Shatters Me is the ninth novel in Terri Anne Browning’s The Rocker series. Although I had not read any of the prior books in this series, I was captivated after having read the synopsis and decided to give it a try and am very glad I did.

This was a very enjoyable read not to mention steaming “I need a serious glass of ice water” hot. The intense connection between Devlin and Natalie was electrifying. Despite the fact that an underlying issue was present that Natalie was just unable to get over (and rightfully so), it was virtually impossible for her not to completely swoon and lose herself whenever Devlin came near her. As for Devlin, in spite of the fact that he now realizes the serious mistake he made when making the bet, he is struggling with having lost the woman he loves but cannot seem to let go of his inhibitions and tell her of his true feelings.

The only true issue I had with not having read the prior novels in this series was not being familiar with all of the characters that someone who had read each of the other stories would have. However, that never in any way affected my enjoyment of Devlin and Natalie's story. The experience Ms. Browning brought to me through her writing was an intense depth of emotion between all of these characters which was overwhelming at times making me feel very deeply for them. This also gave me the hope that both Devlin and Natalie could overcome the issues of their relationship from the first time around which left them both shattered, to find the everlasting love that they both want to find in each other arms. So, although this is the ninth novel in the series, it can be read as a standalone. And if you are looking for a love story about two shattered souls who must fight to find their way back into each other’s hearts, I would definitely recommend reading The Rocker Who Shatters Me.

I love this series. I love how each book connects with the last and all the characters from the very beginning are still a part of the series.

All the favourite characters from all the other Rocker books make an appearance in some way and I think it’s hilarious that even after 9 books every male character is terrified of Emmie, the momentum of a character that I loved some much in book one is still going just as strong 9 books later.

Devlin is the tall dark and brooding type who doesn’t say much. His attraction to Natalie is something he wasn’t sure what to make of at first but once he had her he realized that it wasn’t something that wasn’t going to go away easily. When a secret bet is exposed by Zander, Devlin loses what he knows is the best thing to ever happen to him. When Natalie refuses to have anything to do with Devlin unless it is OtherWorld related, he has to find a way to make her realize that no matter what he is not going to let walk away so easily.

Natalie, the younger sister of Demon Wings brothers Drake and Shane, has had her heart shattered by the man she loves. Devlin has been all she has wanted since the moment she laid eyes on him, then to have him rip her heart out because of a stupid bet destroys any hope that she will have her happy ever after with the man she loves. After having her heart broken Natalie finds it hard to move on, she struggles to move on from Devin and leave her feelings for him behind.

Thinking that by making a bet with her friend Marissa in the same way Devlin made one with Zander she will be able to hurt him the way he hurt her and having that will help her move on with her life, but will her plan really work when their love for each other is so strong.

Terri Anne Browning has written another great book in this series. This book just like the rest of the series is a great read. Each story in the series keeps you wanting more from the next book and after 9 books that in my opinion make Terri Anne Browning one fabulous author.

I completely love this entire series of books. From the moment I started The Rocker a That Holds Me , I wanted to run away and become part of the Demon Wings family. Now that we have added the OtherWorld boys to the mix it's even better. I love how all the stories work together and I love how we still keep getting all of our rockers in each book. The men are hot, Alpha and amazing. The girls are all chicks you would want to become friends with and hang out with.

This book focused on Devlin and Natalie's story. We learned in a previous book that Devlin and Zander made a bet to see who could get Nat into bed first. When Devlin won that bet Zander proceeded to tell Nat all about it, completely breaking Nat's heart. Not only had she lost the mans he loved but also Zander, who was one of her best friends. The book starts several months after the bet had been revealed and Nat is still dealing with her heartbreak. Devlin is determined to win back the only girl he ever loved and Nat is fighting the draw he has on her.

Devlin really surprised me in this book. From the other books I had never got a real good read on him,but I quickly came to love his character as much as the other Demon's or OW guys. He honestly hadn't been one of the books I was anticipating, but I would say after reading he is definitely top 3 of the series for me. I really liked his inner monologues especially where his son Harris was concerned. I really enjoyed Natalie's character as well. For someone so young she carried herself much more maturely. She was definitely strong and feisty.

I really only had one issue with the book. It seemed most of the book was Devlin trying to win her back. Once they finally resolved their issues and we're together again, it seemed the book wrapped up pretty quickly after that. I would have liked a little more between them sorting it all out and the epilogue. However, after reading the teaser chapter for the next book I am assuming we may see that time in the next book.

I simply LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE and LOVE this book! Every book in The Rocker series has gotten better and better. I LOVE the Demon's Wings and OtherWorld family. The way Terri Anne Browning weaves them together just adds to how great the series really is.

Natalie and Devlin have fallen in love and the world seems great until Devlin's stupid decision in making "the bet" with his best friend comes back to bite him. Natalie is completely shattered. We move on to see Natalie some time later and she has buried all the pain deep down until a work event brings her face to face with Devlin, which brings all the pain up to the surface again. Devlin has never stopped wanting her back, and Natalie can't stay away from him so Natalie's friend comes up with the perfect revenge, their own bet, and the fun really starts from there.

I started this book before bed so I could just read a couple of chapters and didn't put it down until the last page. I love Devlin but was so mad at him for hurting Natalie that way. Natalie's pain radiates from the pages of the book and I felt every bit of it. I wanted Natalie and Devlin back together but not going to lie, wanted Devlin to suffer a bit. Terri Anne Browning has a style of writing that I'm quite addicted to completely. She also will put you through an emotional roller coaster. I think about when the next book comes out at least once a day and cannot wait for it. I totally recommend this book and the whole Rocker series to everyone!

I received an advanced review copy of this book from the author for a honest review.

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love the Demon's Wings and the OtherWorld family!!!! The characters are kick a$s. Their stories all weave together. Simply put, these books are in the top five for all series out there!!!

Dev and Natalie... we already knew so much about their story before we even begin to read the first page. I think that makes it more challenging to dedicate a whole book to them. However, I was still expecting something more exciting and new, when it came to their full story. While I really enjoyed reading this book, it was more due to revisiting all my fave characters rather than digging more into their relationship. Because, there really wasn't many new details to dig into. I would have loved to have read about Dev's early years with Harris.

Harris and Lucy... H being 15/16 and L being 11 going on 12... this isn't a great age range to read about Harris and his obsession with L. Realistically... wouldn't a boy his age be all over the older groupies versus hanging out with an eleven year old?? I'd like to learn more about his life on the road and exposure and thoughts about chicks. Guess I'll have to wait patiently for his book!!!

Harper... I'm still hoping she's pregnant!!!!

The sneak peek for TRTHM...OMG!!! I guess Liam's book is next!!! I can't wait!

A bet started it all. Devlin and Zander in their alcohol induced bliss made a bet ... to win one of them has to take Natalie to bed first. With alcohol comes stupidity. Devlin really loves Natalie and has been fighting his feelings. No way is he going to fall in love, no way is he the marrying kind.

Just one problem. Once he is intimate with Natalie, there is no way he is giving her up. He tells Zander the bet is off... but never comes clean with Natalie. Saying "I love you" is too hard and admitting to the stupid bet is impossible. What if he loses her?

Well, that is only the beginning of the love affair that was derailed just as things were looking good. What self respecting girl is going to give a guy the light of day after finding out she was a bet. Heck, she gave her all to that stunted relationship! She gave her heart and soul to that man and now she feels he just stumped all over her.

If you are a fan of this series, you know all about the ups and downs of this makeshift family of rockers and their significant others. Their lives are driven by their music and fame, but their hearts are in the right place focusing on family, friendship and loyalty. Their women are strong because they need to be. They love with all their hearts when they fall in love. Natalie and Devlin's story is emotional, full of angst, and riddled with secrets. Enjoy reading it!

I love The Rocker series, and was really looking forward to Natalie and Devlin's story. Terri did not disappoint. The Rocker Who Shatters Me had everything that I love about this series. We got to see the strong, close bonds that the rockers all have with each other and their families.

Natalie and Devlin had been dating for a few weeks when a secret is revealed, tearing them apart, leaving both of them heartbroken. They both have to continue on as if nothing happened between them due to Natalie trying to keep their former relationship a secret from her brothers. Although they are no longer together, that doesn't stop the attraction and chemistry from pulsing between them every time they're around each other.

Devlin does his best to convince Natalie that what he did was a mistake, but that he truly did care about her. Natalie eventually starts to see the sincerity behind his words, and allows him back in. However, Devlin soon learns that Natalie has been keeping a major secret from him as well, and is heartbroken that she would keep it from him.

Devlin and Natalie finally realize that their love strong enough to get them through the pain of the lies, secrets, and deception, and they can overcome it all, as long as they face it together.

The Rocker Who Shatters Me is a great addition to The Rocker Series, and I look forward to many more.

Now that had all the makings of a great romance; lots of angst and drama, tears, laughs, crazy hott sex and a cast of fabulous characters. Though I will admit, Natalie frustrated the ever lovin crap outta me once or twice....
We moved along at a great pace, everything flowed nice and kept me flipping the pages for more, the emotions between the characters -both good and bad- were easily felt, the banter between all involved was awesome, the connection our main couple shared was both beautiful and heartbreaking, and the ending was pretty damn perfect. We got to jump POV's between both Natalie and Devlin which I love because it makes it easier to connect to and understand both. All in all I really have zero complaints, I loved everything about this book and it was a fantastic introduction to Terri for me. I don't know how this series has flown under my radar before now but I can tell you that is about to change. I cannot wait to read much, much more from her.

~This was my girl. My woman. I wanted, needed-loved her more than anything on the planet. Without her I had nothing, was nothing.
A groan broke free of my throat and I was able to breathe again.~

Happy Reading xo Jenn @ BookwormBetties

This book started off right in the middle of a hot love story between Natalie and Devlin, a famous rock star. But things suddenly crash and burn when it is revealed that actually a bet started it all! But even though Devlin began sleeping with Natalie on a whim, he actually fell hard for her and spends the rest of the book trying to win her back.

I loved Natalie's feisty spirit!! Even though she is much younger than Devlin, she was no push-over. It isn't easy being in love with a rocker but Natalie holds her own with the fans, the groupies, touring and all the pressure that comes with being in the public eye. And Devlin...swoon!! Sexy, smart, talented... but will he do what it takes to get Natalie back before it's too late? I loved his Alpha ways and their scenes together are HOT HOT HOT!!

This was my first book in the series and I totally was at home with the cast of characters. There was plenty of background given on each rocker and I loved all of the band members and their significant others. If you are looking for a sexy, rocker book with lots and lots of steam, then The Rocker Who Shatters Me is for you. Terri Anne Browning writes a quick-paced, sexy and loving story and I am looking forward to reading her other books. Enjoy!

I’m a huge fan of this series so of course I was eager to not only read this latest installment but also to help promote it. This story has evolved for a while so I was really looking forward to finally get Natalie and Devlin’s story. It was a quick read but definitely packed a punch. I found myself thinking about it hours after finishing the book.

Devlin and Natalie have a definite connection but due to past mistakes (mainly on Devlin’s part), they went their separate ways. Now things are getting interesting. Devlin is trying to get Natalie back after he royally screwed up and Natalie has decided to turn the tables on him. I absolutely LOVED these two. Not just as a couple but also as individuals. Although I guess I’m also a little biased since I’ve loved every single main character in this series.

The story line was awesome. It definitely took me on an emotional rollercoaster but in the best possible way. The fantastic characters and the writing style used by Terri make this a fabulous addition to the series. I absolutely can’t wait for the next book in the series. 5 out of 5 stars!

This story is a part of a series and though the storyline features Natalie and Devlin, I believe that readers will better follow and understand if the previous books are read first. I didn't read the other books and felt a little lost at first but the story quickly drew me in of the relationship ups and downs of Natalie and Devlin. Natalie loves Devlin but her heart is crushed when she learns that Devlin started seeing her because of a bet with his best friend. Devlin feels lost without Natalie in his life and wishes he never accepted the stupid bet which cost him Natalie's love. This was an emotional romance of two people trying to repair their shattered relationship as well as develop trust and forgiveness. A well written storyline with a mix of romance, drama, humor and a little bit of suspense that makes this book an enjoyable tale. Natalie has a lot to overcome if she ever wants to feel whole again and Devlin needs to show Natalie that he can be trusted with her heart. I am very interested in reading the other stories in this series and have added them to my wishlist.

I received this for an honest review.. I have absolutely say that this series and this book absolutely captures me. I loved this book. The minute I picked this book up I could not put it down. This book has it all heartbreak, hot freaking sex, love and pain.
This is Devlin and Natalie's story. Devlin made a bet with Zander (outer world) who could bed Natalie first little did Devlin know how much he would fall in love with Natalie. Once Natalie finds out about the bet she is devastated and breaks things off. Fast forward one year and they are still fighting their love for each other only now they are on a tour bus together..
I just absolutely fall in love with Terri Anne's writing every time I pick up one of her books and this book was absolutely no exception. This book is full of hot freaking rockers that will rock your world. This book is possible to be read as a standalone but is so much better if read as part of the series!!!!

Once again Terri Anne does it again with these amazing rockers!! Totally fell in live with Devlin and Natalie they both had to overcome so many trust issues and had to learn to love and trust and forgive.... to start over. There is also something going on with all these Rockers and Terri never disappoints us!!! A must read series!!!!

Just more irritating with each book in the series. The angst is so contrived and unecessary it just makes you want to tell them to get over it. Not sure why the author thinks angry, immature characters who are always fighting or having a chip on their shoulder is appealing.

So beautiful!! I just loved this series. I read this book over a matter of four hours as its not as long as the others but I didn't feel cheated as we heard about Natalie and Devlin so much that I already knew the history and everything so it was perfect.

I'm not big on spoiling the story for others in my reviews.
So I will just say, I loved Nat and Dev, well and Harris. This is absolutely one of my favorite series. I cannot wait for The Rocker Who Hates Me. The Snippet at the end was awesome.
Sometimes in Series that have this many books you find yourself bored with the characters, but you NEVER will with these. I love them all and connect with them.
Now I'm trying to figure out who this crazy stalker bus slasher is... Thanks Terri LOL.

With The Rocker Who Shatters Me you get everyone all the characters you love. Every book in The Rocker series has gotten better and better. This is Natalie and Devlin story and you will fall hard for Devlin.
