Rogue & Euphemia

by GroveltoHEA

I watched as my boyfriend saved another woman when a rival club shot up the clubhouse.
He never even checked on me as he took her to the hospital -- and I almost died.
So I disappeared for a year, and when I came back, he was waiting for me.
He wanted to win me back.
But the way he'd betrayed me...there was no way to come back from that.
He was convinced he could change my mind.
Or die trying.

well, this would be my last from the author.

No one to blame but me here because the author's username is a slap in the face. GroveltoHEA. meaning even the worst cheaters would be forgiven after a tame and very unsatisfactory grovel..

I've read like multiple books of her now, and cannot call what these mmcs are doing, grovelling. not even near. I just left frustrated after reading.


My takeaway here. Rogue is the foolest of all fools. And Euphemia is the one that comes after that for ever talking to him again. There's no coming back to what he did and made it worse after his fvckass so called reasons.

Idk what to think about Rogue.

The club gets shot up, he goes to save his sister in law, aka the ow, doesn't even glance at his girlfriend. Effie literally dies twice that night, and he only goes looking for her after taking care of the OW.... I don't know if that's redeemable.

Here's the thing, Rogue's excuse wasn't excusing. He said that his brother and the Prez, who is also the OW's brother, went to prison for killing a rival gang's Prez after they kidnapped OW and her autistic kid. The kid literally went catatonic. He's in the midst of doing legal battle for his brother and Prez, doesn't tell the FMC this... doesn't even tell her he has a twin brother or that the kid is his niece or what happened to them. Literally said I didn't make you my old lady because then you'd know and he just wanted her to himself.... I??? Am I the only one who didn't understand the excuse??? It was stupid. He kept so much from her.

And I also hated the fact that the Prez and the OW died?? Like it felt like there was no closure. Rogue leaves their MC after telling them all the shit that the OW was doing to his lady, and they refuse to exile OW. But once she's dead, then they beg for him back?? It wasn't for me. Rogue's grovelling was okay, he leaves everything for her. But idk...

Also his pet name for her is lady and that's gross xoxo

Book 3 of ? In standalone series


💜MC
💜First Person/Multi POV
💜ML messes up BAD but gets forgiven
💜OW drama but no cheating
💜Gun violence
💜Murder on page



I’m undecided if I forgive him or not. How can you claim to be so in love with the FMC, that she is your top priority but the moment there is danger, you don’t think for some second about her and choose to protect OW. His excuses are iffy but in the end I definitely didn’t hate him. Still side eyeing him

The OW is his brother’s wife and the little girl is his brother’s but of course the OW wants the ML and conspires against the FMC to make her believe certain things. The ML does defend the OW when FMC brings up her worries. Stating she’d never do something like that, I grew up with her blah blah. Most of this could have been a non issue if he actually told her shit.

ML was never with OW nor does he have feelings for her. Karma does come around though :)

-2nd chance
-mainly dual POV
-no om drama
-no cheating but ow causes drama (the H, Rogue, never slept with her, the ow was his sister in law, she had the hots for him when they were teens but he was never interested in her, she ended up hooking up with Rogue's twin brother, they eventually got married and had a kid (the ow lied to the h, Euphemia, and told her that Rogue was the father of her daughter)... the day of the shooting Rogue made a stupid decision and saved ow instead of Euphemia, he did it bc he needed the ow's testimony to get his brother out of prison)
-1 year separation -both celibate (he never stopped looking for her)
-Rogue and Euphemia have been together for a year and a half when the shooting happens
-I liked Rogue's groveling and I liked that he didn't pressure Euphemia to forgive him
-I didn't like that Rogue was never going to tell Euphemia what he'd done (she pretended not to remember the day of the shooting) bc he was so ashamed by his actions and didn't want to hurt her
-epilogue: few years later - married with a baby
-----------

"You died, Euphemia, and...God, I just need to touch you. Anywhere. Just to reassure myself." Like you reassured yourself I was OK after the shooting? "Apparently, I died on the operating table, too," I said softly, just to twist the knife, and watched his face contort with pain.

******************

The truth is, I remember everything about the shooting. I watched you throw your body over Angelica's to cover her. I saw you checking her over after the shooting, seeing her bloody arm and running out of the clubhouse with her to get her to the hospital. I also saw the nasty smile she gave me as you carried her out in your arms, and not the woman you'd been in a relationship with for all this time. But most of all, Rogue, I saw the way you didn't even look toward me or check on me, leaving me to bleed out on the floor and that was because you didn't give me a single thought. It never occurred to you to check on me."

******************

"You just made a mistake making me an enemy, Angelica. I defended you to Euphemia because I never imagined you were such a nasty, lying, low-life bitch." I should have listened to Effie. I should have listened to her when she tried to talk to me about it, should have given it my attention instead of just brushing it off because more important things were taking my focus.

******************

"Euphemia, I make my living using words to my advantage, but there's nothing I can say that will excuse my carelessness and thoughtlessness with you. If I had the chance to do it all over, I'd make different choices, but I can't change what I did. I wish I could because the way I acted that day was not a reflection of how I feel for you." "Oh, I think it was." "God, no, it fucking wasn't, Effie."

******************

"I hate this," he said and his voice was hollow. "I hate this because I hurt you, you don't believe how I feel about you, how much you actually mean to me, and we lost a year together because of me." "It's hard to lose something that was just an illusion, that was never really there." His head swung slowly toward me. "What we had was real, and it was no illusion. You are everything to me, Euphemia. You are everything to me, and I'm going to do whatever I have to in order to prove that to you."

******************

You know everything now," he said. "You know everything, all my thoughts, all my emotions behind my actions. I want us to move forward together, Euphemia." I looked at him then. Really looked at him and saw he was serious. "Rogue, I have to ask: do you really think that all of the explanations you've just given me have done anything to make what you did OK?"

******************

"I had a lot of time to think this last year without you, lady. Knowing that my actions and inactions led to you leaving without a trace, knowing that I might never see you again and be able to apologize to you, doubting it would make a difference if I got the chance. I had to let you know how much I hated hurting you like I did. The guilt ate at me, and I deserved every day of pain. But the worst part was being without you."

******************

"My life is filled with regret and I know, Euphemia. I know I began us when I shouldn't have," he said. "I know I kept critical information from you. I know I should have told you everything. I know I made the wrong choice when I saved Gel and then proceeded to compound my stupidity when I didn't check on you -- didn't think to check on you. If remorse could turn back time, lady, I'd be getting a do-over. And I'd make the right choices this time from the start, from the minute I met you."

******************

"I'm sorry as hell about all the wrongs I committed against you. That wasn't a good basis for our relationship, and that's why I want to start from square one with you now, so I can show you that you are my first and last thought every day, and all the thoughts in between, too. I'm not going to hold anything back, I'm free from the club, I'm free from everything and everyone but you, and you are the only person I don't want to be free from. You sunk in deep, lady, all the way to the bone. I'll never let my focus waver again, never take my eyes off you again."

******************

"I wasn't even a thought, Rogue." His hand tightened around the steering wheel and his voice, when he spoke, was hoarse. "No. You weren't. I want to refute that, but I can't. You know what happened that day and why but it'll never excuse what I did and didn't do that day." We drove on in silence for a few miles. "It's the kind of mistake that goes deep, Euphemia. It's the kind of mistakes, I should say. All of the selfish shit, all of the wrong shit leading up to that day when I did the worst thing of all."

******************

"I love you, Euphemia. Say it again." If I sounded desperate, I was. And it was the desperation of a man who'd lost his woman because I hadn't put her first, hadn't thought about her when she should have been my first thought. For over a year, I'd been without her, a year in which the magnitude of my terrible wrongs against Euphemia sank into my skin and ate me up inside until there was nothing left of me and I'd become hollow and lifeless. Even when she returned, that emptiness inside persisted because although she was back, I still didn't have her back. She was no longer mine. It wasn't until this very moment, when she told me she loved me, that her words flooded my entire being, filling me up inside with her love, bringing me completely back to life. "I love you. I love you. I love you," she said. Then she pulled me down to her for a kiss.

Euphemia was a drama queen... needing to take weeks while she healed (also, is it normal for an arm injury to take about 4 weeks to heal from if you've bled so much? I imagine the hospital wouldn't have released her if it did) and brainstorm her "epic" breakup all while she is really just slipping away under cloak and dagger. She never really confronts Rogue and it escaping that way when she isn't actually in danger was just so ...childish. Honey, just break up with him and move out. You don't need to run all over the states and have someone else handle your finances. And if you were that worried about being found again, why return to the same town and expect he wasn't looking for you?

Rogue messed up, totally, but Euphemia's tantrum of running away without talking just made me roll my eyes. Especially when she did it after letting them all think she was pregnant? Irresponsible.

I was glad to see Rogue giving her space and proving he would put her first.
But the weird thing was, if he was so desperate to save his brother and Prez from getting convicted for murder that he was willing to neglect her, keep secrets, and prioritize the OW, then his 180 switch to suddenly quitting the MC and even killing his Pres and threatening his brother made no sense.

There's no cheating in this one. When the shooting happens, H decides to save the ow, diving to protect her while his gf, the only one that actually took a bullet was lying on the floor bleeding. H doesn't spare a glance at the bleeding h while he carts ow out to the hospital in his arms. ow is all fine when he suddenly realises that he has a gf and that she was standing right next to the ow during the shooting

Meanwhile h flatlined on the table twice and was brought back. She spends the next weeks preparing to run away because it's that wasn't the first time he put ow before her. He had been constantly ignoring her to tend to ow and her kid and h has had enough. After she disappears, he spends a year searching and finds her finally living right under his nose and the grovel begins. Decent grovel but not enough.

Safety- no cheating but lots of ow drama. H never slept with ow, it's his twin brother's wife and child. But ow lies to h that H is the father of her kid.

Read in Wattpad.

This was ok. I have shelved most this authors novels in categorie "not for me", but this seemed safe enough to read. And in a way, it was. There was no cheating or abusive violence between main characters. Drama was mostly misunderstandings, lack of attention and communication. There was also violence, but not between mc:s. How ever even if this book was ok, the world in this series is not for me. I didn't care too much of bikerclub fantasy theme with clubgirls and motorbikedudes. I was wondering if this is some kind of Sons of Anarchy fan fiction or what this is? (I haven't watch that tv-series either, but I was just wondering). So I wont read other parts in this series. I don't think I would enjoy them.

[Alina · Rating 1 out of 5]

no, there isn't a single excuse, nor enough groveling or apologizing to redeem someone who chose to save another woman over his own girlfriend who was actually shot and flatlined while he was with ow.
there is no redemption here

Continuing my trend for always reading series out of order this was the first I read by this author after a couple of recommendations. Somewhere between a biker and mafia universe this was enjoyable.

Some things you just can't get back from, I think, but to each their own.

MMC chose FMC over his motorcycle club, quit, and never looked back. For that alone, I gave this story five stars!

[olivia V. · Rating 2 out of 5]

two stars for all the angst and drama, but he wasn't redeemable in my eyes. fmc deserved better.
