Rocker Universe

Vaughn
My secrets were as dark as my soul. From the moment I was born, my purpose was drilled into me—carry out revenge against the woman who had stolen everything from my adoptive family.

One look at Abi and I began to question everything I’d ever been told.

When I saw her smile, I felt alive, the sound of her sweet laughter like a balm to my ravaged soul. Until I met her, I didn’t even think I had a heart, but with each heated glance from those startling blue eyes, I finally understood.

She didn’t know it, but she’d changed everything. Three decades of meticulous planning were wiped away with a simple pout of her lips. Now, I had a new reason for existing. But that put a target on her back.

To protect her, I will turn my back on the only family I’d ever known.

Enemies become allies, and the truth will finally come to light.

wow

Wow, just wow! The life of Abi and Vaughan has been nothing but the biggest roller coaster. Their story made me dizzy and made my head swim. Vaughn was trained to be a killer from the time he was a baby but deep down inside there was love waiting to burst out. Abi Was raised just the opposite. With loving, caring, and nurturing parents. She had a heart as big as a room. They fell hard for each other, and had many Rocky stumbles along the way. She wrapped him in love, and was able to quiet the monsters inside. Can’t wait to see what happens next in this series.

Best book I have read this year!

I have read all the intertwined books by this author. They have all been great reads but to me this by far the best. The attraction between Abi and Vaughn is so strong and very mutual. Insta love is not my favorite reads but this one has background to explain and it makes for a page turning storyline. I would give this book more than 5 stars if I could. I love me some crazy.

never disappointed

I fell in love with Abi and Vaughn. Their story is unique and although the story doesn’t delve deeply into Vaughn and his biological family’s relationship, if you’ve read all the other stories in TAB’s universe, then you get the hesitation. Highly recommend reading the entire Mafia, MC, Rocker stories to be in the know of all the characters.

absolute perfection

Vaughn and Abi’s story is insanely good from the start. Vaughn’s obsession for Abi just oozed off the pages and vice versa. I have read every book in this series and they never disappoint. The intensity of their love for each other keeps you wanting more. Love, love, love this book and I can’t wait for more!!!!

Loved it

I loved all the books Terri Anne has written. She really has a way to make you cheer for the under dog and hope they find their person. She writes such strong, loyal female characters and Abi lives up to all of them. I can't wait to see who's story we get next!!!

[Esmeralda Overweg · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love how the worlds get mixed up. Every world is getting bigger and bigger as this is already the third generation. Hope to get a new book soon. As i loved the first and second generations and this book was an unexpected surprise, but loving it!!!!!

I am so sick of the story she wants him from the beginning and heroine is so weak and desperate for him and came off as pathetic and its like come on why cant he be obsessed but she is resistant and then grows to love the person obsessed with them. This book was very disappointing

[Dina C · Rating 2 out of 5]

I didn't like this book. I can't understand why it got so many 4 and 5-star ratings! It started off okay but then took a nosedive around 40%. Nothing made sense, there were too many characters, and too many subplots. I didn't want to finish it, but I skimmed through to see how it ended.

She’s a collage student and his a collage professor 🧑‍🏫 …well he murdered her professor to get close to her😮‍💨🔥 such a firey obsession and a quick read so that’s why I gave it 4 ⭐️ BUT it was enjoyable!

Loved it

Vaughn and Abi story was great. It was great to see family reconnecting with each other. Relationships very tense in this book. 😬

[Stacey Mcphilomy · Rating 4 out of 5]

twisted love

Not sure how I feel about this story. Twisted love from all characters. But it fits his character, so it has to be twisted. Good story
