Rockers' Legacy #4

Loving Violet

Rate this book
“Even before you were born, we belonged to each other, Vi,” I reminded her, trying to fight the desperation to grab on to her and hold her, because I could feel her slipping away from me more and more with each beat of my heart. “You were in your mom’s belly, but I still felt you in my heart. It was as if there was this invisible cord connecting your heart to mine. I can’t see it, but I feel it. Every damn day. You are mine.”

“You’re right. I’ve always felt it too. I am yours. And you were supposed to be mine. We were supposed to be each other’s firsts, Luca. First kiss. First touch. First everything. We promised we would be each other’s firsts. ‘Firsts and lasts,’ that’s what you said. I remember it as clear as if it were yesterday. You swore that you would wait. That I was worth it. But you didn’t wait, did you, Luca? You gave all your firsts away to someone else.”

“I…” My throat closed up, making it impossible to speak, to tell her everything I needed to so I could fix this. Fix us and what I broke.

“You stole that from me, Luca.” Angry tears spilled from her eyes, and my heart shattered even more. “You gave away everything that was supposed to be mine. And you just expect me to be okay with that? I’ve waited my entire life to give you my firsts, but you have none to give to me.”

“I’m sorry,” I whispered, my voice choked with emotions I was afraid to lose control of. If I let the tears free that were burning my eyes, I might flood the world.

“Sorry? You’re sorry?” Her laugh was hard and final, causing me to flinch. “Yeah. So am I.”

“What does that mean?” My throat felt like I’d swallowed broken glass, and I was surprised I didn’t spray blood on her with each exhale.

“It means I’m done. You tossed away your firsts like they meant nothing. So mine are no longer yours.”

I don’t want this review to sound like a rant so sorry if it does. But I absolutely HATED this book. So much that I will never ever ever read this author ever again. I can’t believe this was the book I was waiting for, for so long. I wanted Violet and Luca’s story for so long and to know this is what it was actually hurt.

SPOILERS:
Long story short, Luca got drunk and slept with someone else ONCE. Violet couldn’t get over it so she falls in love with someone else, married someone else, lost her virginity to someone else, got pregnant with their baby, then her husband dies and Luca steps in to be there for her and raise her baby who she names after her husband. WHAT A DAMN JOKE. Also the whole time Violet is doing this, Luca is single and waiting around for her. We don’t even get a real sex scene with Luca and Violet but we get them with her and her husband????? Who wanted to see that??? Not me.

I just can’t believe this is the story I waited for. Of the boy who knew Violet was his soulmate before she was even born. This is the worst book and biggest disappointment I have ever read. I wish I could give -947373737636363 stars. I’m so mad I wasted my time reading this garbage.

Sadly this is the last book I will read by this author. In all the previous books, the author gave us this vision that Luca and Violet were destined to be together and have a grand romance, but with this story she ripped that away from us. Why did she have to take the story in this direction? From the very beginning you felt Luca's love for Violet (even before she was born!), but he acts so childish and acts so recklessly over nothing. I thought their love for one another was unshakable, but he screws it up at the first sign of trouble. And when they were finally back together, we were hardly given any chapters to enjoy it. I think the author has run out of ideas and is just using the same basic, frustrating plot points as others. I was so looking forward to their story and am left feeling disappointed.

This couldve been such an outstanding read if she just moved on with remi and not go back to that cheating immature jackass Luca.

1.Teenage boys that have loved only one person forever don't just cheat, if you've even felt that kind of love you would not have written that storyline.

2. Remi was beyond amazing and the better hero, that was violets soulmate not Luca the douchbag. Sometimes all readers want to see is a characters growth from start to present, letting another love take over and not go back to an unhealthy relationship!

3.People dont cheat on their so called soulmate! What the ever loving fuck was this!?!!!!

I could go on and on the psychology of this shit but its tiresome and I'm done so bye.

Luca the "Hero":

This book is titled "Loving Violet"?? More like "Cheating on Violet more than once and calling it love" 🙄

Yes, massive cheating by the H involved. He even lost his first kiss and his virginity to OW (a slutty and bitchy one at that) while with the h. HAHAHA YEAH HELL NO.


I'm just glad Violet didn't fall for his bullshit and gave him her virginity while he so flippantly (and drunkenly) gave away his to some common OW who sleeps around, but instead she actually went and fell in love with someone else, got married to him, and got pregnant by him. Now if only the real Hero (aka Remington) didn't die and they truly lived happily ever after and not even think about Luca ever again, this would've been a more acceptable read. But since he did die and Violet still ended up with the cheating wannabe "Hero" Luca... then this is, in fact, a terrible read.

Idc if I'm spoiling... readers should be aware of this shit before going in.

Not safe:

- He cheated

Cheating:
1. He let other girl kissed him, she jumped him and knowing his girlfriend was there he let her shove his tongue into her mouth and even appreciated her taste and her ability. His first kiss was with this ow and a few minutes after that he kissed the heroine for the first time so her first kiss had the remains of the ow. Disgusting
He can’t even justify if so he kissed her to shut her up and the doormat was kissed him back even though he had another girls tongue in her mouth minutes ago
## after this a couple weeks later is his birthday and he was mad because she didn’t congratulated him all the while she was planning a surprise party, he got drunk and woke up with the same ow in her underwear’s sleeping next to him. She post the pictures online, they were separated for two months, but nothing happened, the ow set everything up.
2. He fucked that same girl about one year later thinking he was revenging the fact she was kissed by someone else *she wasn’t, she was assaulted and bruised. The asshole was the one who let someone’s else kissed him


Cheating 1:

“I dropped my gym bag at the sight of blond hair flying and caught whoever it was in an effort to keep her from taking me to the ground. I didn’t even realize my hands had grabbed her ass until her lips connected with mine. Everything around me seemed to go deathly silent, and I tried to pull my head back. But the girl grabbed my head and thrust her tongue into my mouth. She tasted like Diet Coke and mint gum, and she sure as hell knew how to kiss—and without even thinking, I let her.
“Vi!” I heard my brother call out, and that was enough to kick my ass into gear.”


##

Holding my breath, I slowly dropped my hands and opened both eyes this time just as a soft body pressed against my side. A hand stroked over my bare chest—when the fuck had I taken off my shirt?—and I saw a blond head. A blond head that wasn’t Violet’s.
Swallowing a wave of nausea as it tried to choke me, I took stock of the rest of my body. My pants were on, but unbuttoned. Thankfully, my cock was still in my boxer briefs. Blinking a few times to get the sleep out of my eyes, I looked down at the girl who was half on top of me. I knew that hair, that face with the makeup still perfectly in place, and realized I was beyond fucked. Megan. She was in her bra and panties, her hair a tangled mess spread over my chest.
“No.” I groaned out a curse and pushed her off me. But we weren’t in a bed. I must have passed out on the couch in the sitting room, and she went crashing to the floor with a yelp. I jumped to my feet, ignoring the pain trying to slice my brain in half and hastily looked for my shirt. What I found was one of Megan’s friends standing at the end of the couch, snapping picture after picture.
“Look at that, Luca,” she said with a sly grin. “I’ve already got two hundred likes on some of these pictures I posted of you two lovebirds.”

Cheating 2:

“Fuck,” I muttered and blinked open my eyes. Only to wish I hadn’t. I quickly shut them again and slowly lifted my lashes after a few seconds. When the image I’d seen only moments ago didn’t disappear, I felt nausea rise into the back of my throat. There, beside me on my hotel room bed, was Megan Hawthorn. Not in a bra and panties like she had been after my birthday party the year before, but completely naked. Just like I was.
I jerked upright then jumped out of bed before making a wild dash to the bathroom. As I threw up into the toilet, images of the night before filled my head, and they only made me sicker. Marsh and I had gone to someone else’s room where the party had started and gotten drinks. Girls had begun showing up, but I’d been more interested in drinking away the thought of Violet and Cannon together. After about the fifth beer, I’d started feeling pretty mellow, and that was when I’d seen Megan. She’d been with a few friends and must have driven down for the game like so many others had. When she saw me looking her way, she left them and came up to me in the hall where I was talking to Marsh and a few other offensive players. I’d told myself to stay away from her, and I’d even walked off a few times to get more drinks for Marsh and me. But each time, she was there when I came back. She started getting touchy. And I was pissed at Violet for kissing someone else. The alcohol had shut down the smart part of my brain, and I must have lost my fucking mind, because when she kissed me, I kissed her back.
Before long, we’d ended up in my room. I’d messed up. Big-time. There was no coming back from this. It was worse than Violet kissing some asshole. A million times worse. If she found out, I knew I would lose her. If… If she found out. She couldn’t fucking find out.
When my stomach was empty, I jumped in the shower, washing away the evidence of what I’d done the night before. There was a condom wrapper in the trash, telling me I’d at least been smart enough to use protection. I hadn’t had any, because I’d never needed them before, but thankfully Marsh had some in his case. A case that was already gone, telling me Marsh must already be on the bus. Wrapping a towel around myself, I walked into the bedroom and started putting on clothes while Megan continued to sleep.
Once I was dressed and had my stuff packed up, I nudged Megan awake. She yawned loudly and rolled over. The sheets slipped, and I quickly averted my gaze from her chest.
“Hey, baby.”
“Last night—it never happened,” I told her, looking directly into her eyes so she knew I meant what I said.
“This was a mistake. One that will never happen again. Do you hear me?” She smirked up at me.
“Sure. You keep telling yourself that, baby. But you had fun last night. The kind of fun you can’t have with that little kid back in California.”
“Keep your damn mouth shut about this, Megan, because if Violet finds out, there isn’t a place you can hide from me.” I tossed my bag over my shoulder.
“Stay the hell away from me.”


He used a condom but the girl got pregnant and said it was his, she lost the baby but we will never know if it was his

During the separation:
- She kissed and made out after other people and two years after the break up she felt in love with the true hero Remington.
- She decided to truly move on after she saw him with a girl at ESPN two years after their separation. Later he said the girl attacked him but she mentioned he kissed the girl back when she talked about it with her friend so cmon author the guy is a asshole.
- He wasn’t with anyone else but apparently whenever a girl jumps him he is unable to stop her from kissing him

Remington was sexually experienced when they met again, they met for the first time when they were sixteen, he hit on her but she was faithful to Luca the cheater, when they broke up a few months later they flirted and almost kissed, she felt things for him but they went separated ways until two years later. He organized to met her again and they ended up together, he said he wanted her since he was sixteen. He was not a virgin and I wondered when he got his experience? If after her break up she was in treatment and working it would be nice to make the guy a virgin author, I know she was at a relationship when they met and I can’t demand him to be faithful then but he was only sixteen he could be a virgin. Later, she was single and after her rebel fase where she made out with other guys a little after their almost kiss she wasn’t with anyone, she was a virgin at their first time. I wish he was one too, BUT at the same time she doesn’t deserve him (harsh I wouldn’t normally say that about a woman, but true). Remi would be my perfect hero if he hadn’t had sex with anyone else besides her because he was the one who went after her again two years later but she was recovering from breaking up with another guy but they kept contact so even though I recognize that is too much to ask it is a romance book so fuck you who doesn’t like my safety standards and complains on my comments, I don’t need this negativity in my life 😉.


I hate how the authors turn her love to Remington into something cheap, she was over Luca and didn’t loved him anyone but as soon as Remington died, three weeks later more especially she was already looking at the cheater differently. Fuck off, i was disgusted by the fact the time she gave birth at around 36 weeks she was loving him again. The same day her husband died she was already sleeping in the same bed as the cheater 🤢

It was supposed to be okay because her husband went after the cheater asking him to be with her after he died and he knew deed down she loved him too and they would be together. FUCK OFF


The way the author downplayed her love to her husband only to show how soul mates she and Luca really are didnt work out for me because she chose to make him a cheater, or you make their love something big as soul mate love or you make him a cheater. Decide honey, you can have both.

Luca said to her at one time he would love them (she and her daughter) possible more than her husband! Pretentious asshole, she should have smacked him.


He registered her daughter with his last name instead of Remington, she should not have accepted that, in the end i dont feel like she keep alive her husband memory to their daughter. He died without meeting her but he loved her so much he deserved better. His daughter should have had his last name.

Luca even though about how her engagement ring was too flashy for her. Fuck you As soon as she gave birth she stoped wearing her rings, the man was barely cold and she was already snuggling up with othet guy, it shows lack of caracter, not this bull shit predestined love.

The only reasons I am giving it two stars instead of one is because she moved on and was with someone else for a few months and got married and he was amazing while he was celibate and because the scene when she broke up with him was pretty good, I loved reading his suffering. The book had great potential until the author decided to kill Remington instead of making her getting over the cheater for real. It was a mess after his death.

She mentions how the death of her husband was worst than the cheating, but she suffered more when she was cheated on than when he died. At least after their almost kiss Remington left so I think if he was around she would get over the cheater faster.

I would like for her to never be back with the cheater but this would also be slightly better if she was happily married for at least ten years with two kids and he was celibate that whole time instead of only three years separes. Anyway, fuck the cheater. He didn’t deserve her.


She turned out a weak woman and him an asshole pretentious man.

What in the fresh hell did I just read?! There are no words for how disappointed I am at this mess. This story had absolutely everything I hate in stories!! Cheating repeatedly, getting the cheating whore pregnant, marrying someone else as a replacement for your first love, then getting pregnant by him and having your first love raise your kid when your present bf dies.... wtf?!?! Horrible. I got half way through before I had to stop because I almost threw my e-reader. What a waste of 2 hours of my life.
I can't even....

As I was reading this I felt very old... Really!
Actually this is a love story of two teenagers, two very young and very hormonal teenagers who dream of having found their soulmate, who plays adults but are not. Definitely.
Both of them.
But it was entertaining, with some cute and interesting things I liked to learn.
The heroine is barely 15 and the hero not yet 18.
They have known each other forever because their parents are members of a rock band (really? Hawwwwwwww!) so they have grown up together and thought themselves in love forever.
Isn't it cute???
They promise each other the world, but of course life thinks differently for both of them.
They are good together and really, they are cute (I'm abusing this word here but they remind me of puppies, so what other word can I use).
He loves her and she loves him, but I think they are more like brother and sister, never kissing, never making out.
He promises her their first kiss, their first sex, their first everything. And of course he fails it all.
I couldn't help but laugh at the fact, because they were so dramatic.
So trusting.
So... immature.
Teenagers are like that.
It's all black or white, there are no shades.
The word compromise doesn't exist.
The word understand doesn't exist.
Their world is made of absolute certainties and they never bend. They hold and then they break.
And when they break, they shatter.
But of course life has a way to take care of itself and they eventually mend.
And they grow up, they become wiser and more disillusioned. And less emotional.
Even if those families, the grown-ups too, are very emotional. Too much emotional.
The heroine and the hero play happy couple until a girl, older than the heroine, decides she will have the hero. At any cost.
She starts stalking him, and she kisses him. She basically assaults him.
The heroine sees him and she's mad.
To give him credit, he doesn't like her, he doesn't even notice her.
But it's the first crack in their more than perfect relationship.
The hero is immature, but it's not even that.
I've met so many teenagers in love and I can say they are even more mature and faithful to each other than many adults are.
Because they live by absolutes.
And they can love as much as grown-ups do.
The hero sadly is not able to love our heroine.
She's only 15 but she's much more mature than he is.
He's a selfish and immature boy.
He doesn't know how to love her, and each time they have a lil conflict, he reacts badly.
And he does his best to broke them.
I could even say that he inconsciously tries to get rid of the heroine.
Maybe because he is too young, or maybe because he can't stand the pressure of his life, since he's a football player and he is expected to be a star, I don't know.
But this is my impression.
The way he acts when the heroine doesn't tell him happy birthday, that is to have a party with his twin, get wasted and have his picture with ow all over him on Facebook was not a move of a man or a boy who is in love with a girl.
Not at all.
It was immature and selfish.
And careless.
The heroine forgives him but she's very hurt, and still he manages to hurt her and to lose her when, at their first quarrel, he sleeps with ow and gets her pregnant.
It's the end.
I think that in a couple there's always one who loves more than the other, and here it was the heroine.
Even if she's young, she's the one who's ready to make sacrifices.
He's not.
He sleeps with the first slut that throws herself at him.
He really doesn't deserve her.
Thank god the heroine after much pain and therapy, recovers completely and falls in love again with one of her former schoolmates.
Years have passed but she's still very young, not yet 19.
But she falls in love with this guy, a boy not much older than her and who's really a nice guy.
They should have been happy all their lives, because he was the right one for her.
Sadly he's also very sick and eventually dies leaving her pregnant.
The hero is back and will try to take care of her, and to make her fall in love with him again.
Apparently, after that one time, he was faithful and celibate, because he understood his mistake and he only wanted the heroine. It was her or nothing.
The heroine was really in love with om, and so I was, and I was too sad when he died.
She had a wonderful life with him and I was happy that she recovered.
I don't know if the happy ending is a happy ending for me, I wish she could have stayed with om.
But I also think that she would have loved him forever if he had lived, and so I'm happy that hero was second best in this case.
The heroine showed to be a smart and emotionally clever person.
She understood that the hero, as he was, wasn't the right man for her. He could have never made her happy.
He would have cheated again. While om was the right man for her, even if he wasn't her first love. He is a completely committed and mature young man. And filthy rich too. Just clever, this heroine.
He needed to lose her, completely, to another man, for life, to realize what he had thrown away with his idiocy.
This is a book about teenagers, but the feelings are strong and the same as for adults.
I loved the angst.
Even when it was excessive.
There are scenes that are really gut wrenching.
I loved them.
I hate cheating and this one has it, but I was rewarded because the heroine moved on and was happy and in love with om, and she had a very satisfying sex life with him. No regrets, really.
And I learned many things.
I learned that in California a teenager can't have sex - any kind of sex- until he/she is 18, but he/she can drink as much as he/she likes and get wasted and do all sort of awful things because as everyone knows alcohol take off all moral inhibitions.
So you have many sexually frustrated very horny teenagers without inhibitions because of alcohol.
I suppose that if it was the opposite (sex legal, drink illegal) we wouldn't have had this book to read.
Oh, they all call themselves cousins and aunt/ uncle, but I don't think they are related by blood, it's their way to express they are a family as members of the same band. Cute.

I'm so mad about this book

SPOILERS BELOW. STOP READING IF YOU DON’T WANT DETAILS.

I can't remember the last time a book made me so angry. This was not at all what it could or should have been. I would give this ZERO STARS if I could. The love story we were promised from the moment Luca said ”mine” to a pregnant Harper’s belly was not what we got. That Luca would hurt Violet TWICE because he was basically throwing a temper tantrum is so out of character. And with that particular girl of all people? Come on! And then for Violet to go on with the life she leads, falling ”in love” with Remington after a week? Agreeing to marry him shortly thereafter and then getting pregnant? And then Remington dies a few months later and asks Luca to look after her and the baby and a mere weeks after his death they're playing house? Come on! Luca was immature. Violet was ridiculous. The side bullshit with Megan was annoying. The attack of Cannon on Violet was infuriating. So many side things that I would mention but I won't because there are just too many. I hated this story so much and this is one of my favorite series, so it breaks my heart.

3 ⭐⭐⭐ - OK decent reads.
=======================

The good: our heroine moves on and loved someone else. Our heroine has not been frozen in time. I liked him more than the hero.

The bad: the person our heroine moves on and fell in love with dies and their child will be raised by the supposed hero.

Once we knew which team he would be playing for, I would find a college close to him so we could move in together.

Having his name on my back and his scent all over me was Luca Thornton’s way of marking his territory. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t like it.

All I had to do was lean forward, skim my lips over his, and we would have our first real kiss. His control would snap, and Luca would be at my mercy. But as much as I ached for that, I couldn’t put him in that position.

Fuck. She was the most beautiful creature on the planet, and this girl was mine. I didn’t know how I got so lucky to find my “one” and was able to spend my entire life with her, but I was thankful for it every day of my life.

I didn’t even realize my hands had grabbed her ass until her lips connected with mine. Everything around me seemed to go deathly silent, and I tried to pull my head back. But the girl grabbed my head and thrust her tongue into my mouth. She tasted like Diet Coke and mint gum, and she sure as hell knew how to kiss—and without even thinking, I let her.

“She stole it,” Violet sobbed, burying her face in her hands. I pulled her hands away from her face, my heart pounding. “Stole what, baby?” “Your first kiss!” she yelled,
“It was supposed to be mine, and she stole it. And you let her.” “No,” I denied vehemently. “That doesn’t count.” “She had her tongue in your mouth—of course, it counts.” She tried to shove me back again, but I refused to move.

Eighteen meant I was legal, but Violet wasn’t.

“It’s our birthday, man. Let’s throw ourselves a party.” He rubbed his hands together. “With lots and lots of girls.”

“Yeah,” I gritted out. “Lots of girls.”

Megan. She was in her bra and panties, her hair a tangled mess spread over my chest. “No.” I groaned out a curse and pushed her off me.

They looked good together. The clichéd high school cheerleader and football player couple.

Now, after seeing just what he was capable of where my heart was concerned, I couldn’t answer that question. We obviously couldn’t survive anything, because Luca’s love wasn’t nearly as strong as I’d once thought it was.

I winked and stepped back, waving them in. “The birthday girl isn’t here yet. Guess it’s cool to be late to your own party. I mean, I didn’t even show up to mine, so whatevs.”

“No, he was too busy getting into Megan Hawthorn’s pants to care he had people waiting to wish him happy birthday.”

There, beside me on my hotel room bed, was Megan Hawthorn. Not in a bra and panties like she had been after my birthday party the year before, but completely naked.

Just like I was.

“This was a mistake. One that will never happen again. Do you hear me?” She smirked up at me. “Sure. You keep telling yourself that, baby. But you had fun last night. The kind of fun you can’t have with that little kid back in California.”

“You slept with her last night?” Megan giggled. “Oh, honey. Sleep was the last thing that happened last night.” She patted me on the cheek. “Well, I have to go. I’ll call you later, Luca baby. Once the girlfriend leaves, we can hook up again.”

Lyric, Luca, and I were the only ones who knew the man I loved had cheated on me.

The man who was supposed to love me and only me, who was supposed to be my first everything, had given his firsts away like they meant nothing to him. Like I meant nothing.

“Megan warned me, remember? She warned me, and I didn’t listen.”

“Love doesn’t really mean anything when a guy’s dick is the one doing the thinking.”

The pain I’d felt when I realized he’d had sex with Megan? That was a million times worse than what he’d done on his eighteenth birthday.

“Megan…” I flinched at the sound of her name. “Megan says she’s pregnant.”

You swore that you would wait. That I was worth it. But you didn’t wait, did you, Luca? You gave all your firsts away to someone else!”

“You stole that from me, Luca,” I cried, and it felt like the pain was tearing me apart inside. “You gave away everything that was supposed to be mine. And you just expect me to be okay with that? I’ve waited my entire life to give you my firsts, but you have none to give me. And now you drop this on me and expect, what?”

“You can’t fucking make this better. You cheated on me! You had sex with someone else—and not just any someone. Megan Hawthorn. Of all the people on the planet, you had to go and screw her.” Tears spilled unchecked down my face, freezing my cheeks in the chilly early evening air. “And now you tell me you’re going to be a father with that slut?”

“You are nothing but a selfish little boy living in a man’s body. I don’t know how I never saw it before or how I could overlook it. At this point, I can’t even remember what I ever loved about you, Luca.”

So, when I saw him on ESPN with some girl I’d never seen before, it shouldn’t have hurt as badly as it did. My heart shouldn’t have broken all over again, and I shouldn’t have gotten so pissed I texted Lyric that if he saw something he thought his brother wouldn’t like about me on the internet to be sure and send it to Luca.

Everything I once felt for him was only a nostalgic memory from the past. Because Luca really wasn’t destined to be my forever. He wasn’t my happy ending. Remington was.

This was the most anticipated book in the series for me & it ended up being the biggest letdown. This was supposed to be a beautiful love story (written in the stars since Luca placed his hands on Harper's pregnant-with-Violet belly & said, "mine"). What we got cheapened that love story so much.

I can't deny the fact that it was unputdownable, unpredictable & made me feel a million feels but I can reiterate that I was disappointed with it.

*****SPOILERS SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT*****




Straight-up... I just can't forgive Luca's cheating. He was drunk, yes, but sober enough to know what he was doing & to put a condom on. Even admitting later that he was 'one-upping' what he THOUGHT Violet did... I just can't even with him. Where was that undying love for Violet then? Where were the "even before you were born, we belonged together... it was as if there was this invisible cord connecting your heart to mine" proclamations?! Because they sure as hell didn't ring true when he was screwing that two-bit hussy, Megan. So. Disgusted. I give him the smallest of kudos for staying celibate AFTER the cheating but he still wins no book boyfriend awards in my book.

My favorite part of this book? The #girlpower provided by Violet & Shaw. Violet was such a strong & beautiful heroine. Her reactions to Luca's confessions were deep, insightful & moving. When she used her words like a knife to Luca's chest, it felt so damn good. Loved her BFF, Shaw (totally a like mother, like daughter thing). The way she consistently stood up for Violet & supported her was fabulous. Every person should be so lucky to have a Shaw in their life.

I knew that Luca would be Violet's forever HEA but dammit, I really fell for Remington. In fact, this is one of the very few times where I wished that the heroine ended up the other guy, permanently. Both sad & happy at what went down with them...

But, of course, Luca & Violet were ALWAYS meant to be endgame. After Remington's 'exit' from the story, I was hoping we'd actually get to see Luca & Violet have a grown-up relationship but that never happened. I honestly felt like I was robbed as a reader. I waited for what felt like FOREVER to get a love story about them & they weren't even with each other for the majority of the book. They didn't even get a satisfying, descriptive or hella-memorable sex scene. They got fade-to-black. F*cking fade-to-black. After all they went through, they deserved so much more. Also, let's face it, I still needed convincing that they were meant to be by book's end. *sigh*

I will continue on with this series (because not all books are winners for everyone & that's okay) but it probably won't be pre-order material for me anymore.

Jaysus fuuck people. I am not ok. 😂😂😂😂😐💩

Ill tell you now he cheats. But I am not someone who cares about cheating and this was done the correct way. Correct way being that he thinks she kissed someone at a party but she was actually smexxxually assaulted while at a high school party. She's still in high school while he's away at college playing football 😭 he gets drunk at the hotel during an away game and wakes up to the ow who keeps trying to tear the H and h apart. He wants to hide it from her but the ow comes up to him and points out the love hicckeyy she put on his neck the night before

She meets a new kid at her school named Remington and he asks her out (H gets growly and jealous 😂😂) but she keeps telling him that she's with someone who is in college and the love of her life.

Later on, While shes attending college, she goes with her friend Shaw to a modeling job for a car manufacturer and it turns out that Remington is the owner. She starts to fall in love with him and they live their best life because he's rich af (just how I like it) and spend lots of time together. She goes to him one day to tell him shes preggers and he tells her he has an inoperable brain tumor and to sign papers to make sure she's taken care of. He goes to Luca (the H, the other one) and tells him to take care of his daughter and h 😭😭😭😭 they text each other about the future and Remington takes care of everything from the funeral to their house 😔

Ugh 😭😭😭 you know that movie love story where she's dying and you're bawling your eyes out because they're supposed to get a happily ever after but theyre stolen it? That's this book. I wanted her to have a full happy life with remington.

I wish Luca and h didn't spend so much time apart but I understand the how and why you know? In the end, it felt like things were so rushed and they never speak of their relationship that they will have or what happened in the past 😐😐😐🤦

He was celibate from then on 😂😂😂😏 he was never with another while she moved on and got married and preggers 😂😂😂😂 I'm a vindictive biaatxh and loved that 😏😏

but anyway....This was a great read. I need some therapy. 😂😂

I have been a fan of Teri’s from her first book and always could not wait for her latest book. Needless to say this was one of my most anticipated wait. I believed it would be one of her best books to date and wound up for me being my biggest, most upsetting books ever. What should have been an epic love story, was anything but.

I am very disappointed with this book and the author, I waited so long for it thinking it would be a beautiful and well-developed story about soulmates and the book is basically about the relationship between Violet and someone else. So much dramma and ridiculous turns of events to make the book "different" that she lost the the true story we wanted to read that was violet and Luca. I couldn't feel any conection with violet and neither with her relationship with remington it only make me feel mad and betrayed. Last book I read by Terri Anne Browning.

What a utterly disappointing read. Was looking so forward to Violet and Luca, but instead we get Violet with another man...why?? I did not want to read that!! We got more intimate and loving scenes with the OM, but not with who the hero of the book is meant to be!!! 🙄😫😭😡🤬🙈👎👎💔

The only consolation and the reason I’m giving this 4 stars is because Violet fell in love with the most amazing and sweetest OM, Remi, and married him and had his baby and would be together with him until the end if he hadn’t died.

Luca is a manchild. He cheated TWICE early on their relationship. I can’t root for him in any way. I wished I could read more of his suffering, of his grievance when he heard that Violet fell in love with someone and married him and had his baby.
Instead all I read about was how Violet was all depressed and almost suicidal when Luca cheated and slept with OW. I mean, it’s all good an all but I want MORE of the MMC suffering and crying and throwing up.

Anyways, justice for Remi for how fast Violet moved on, that guy didn’t even have the chance to meet his baby girl! Ughh.

This book had a lot of elements I hated but the author somehow makes it work. All of the characters are likable even if you are angry at how they all played out. There was a lot of OW/OM situations going on and while I hated it and hate it in all books, I did find myself in love with the OM and really wished this book had only been about him. That the other man was the male main character as opposed to Luca as the lead but that would have made this a completely different story than it was. There was cheating and a minor case of assault. There was a lot of under aged drinking. There was 40% of the book where the main characters weren’t even together! Which is normally a huge no no for me, but remember I really did wish the other man had been the lead character here, so that makes up for it in this case.

I did feel like this book was heavily one sided. Granted the title would imply that but it really was too much about violet getting her fantasy romance and not a lot of realism involved. I mean seriously the whole world jumped through hoops to please her. She also never really became her own person. She was only ever “alive” when she was in a relationship with someone. It would have behooved the author to maybe have pointed out that violet was too young to have been so deeply involved in a relationship and that would have explained her spiral a lot better but the author didn’t add that. Again I want to say all the characters were likable and relatable, including violet but it was really laughable how catered to she was by the end of the story. Still the author made it all work!

I didn’t like the thing about the birth certificate though. I felt Remington should have been the listed father. It was like the author was trying to make all the drama of this story fit into this neat little correction by doing what she did with the certificate. I did hate that part. Especially as I liked his character the best. It was almost like he was swept away. Erased. I did like the name for the child but I will not agree with the other info on the document, including the mother’s married name omission.

Now while there was a lot for me to dislike about this story, and to be clear I did NOT like this story(!), it was a GOOD story, lol. The author had me hooked to see how it all worked out. I cried for the OM enough to know I was invested in this book. I couldn’t put it down. The worst offense of this story was there was no on page s e x! 😱😳 lol. But again, the author made it work! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️. I can’t figure out how she did it actually. There was a lot of build up but you never get too frustrated with it as the story explains it all away.

This is my first book by this author. It’s a part of a very long series from the amount of mentioned side characters that it was a bit too much for my taste, since I read this book out of order. Having said how good this book was even though I disliked the storyline, I really don’t want to read the rest of the series. I would like to read something else from this author to see if I like her style enough to get further invested in her and maybe later on be tempted enough to read the rest of this series. But I did feel like this author put too much into this one story and if all her stories are like that I really wouldn’t like it. If all her books are clean stories too then even less will I like it. Lol. Enjoy!

Was super excited to read this book but it goes downhill really fast! If you have loved Lucas and Violet and wanted to read their story it’s best that you skip this one and let your imagination take the lead. Since this is a clusterfuck.

Loving Violet was the fourth book in the Rockers Legacy series by Terri Anne Browning. It was a spin off from the original Rockers series.

Violet Stevenson was the daughter to Harper and Shane Stevenson, from the famous Demon’s Wings rock band (book four, original series).

For those of us that began with the original series and have followed every book in order, we’ve been waiting for Violet and Luca’s story. They were fated since before birth. However, the story didn’t unfold as expected. But be warned, to get the full story, this was Violet’s story - not necessarily, Violet and Luca’s story. Although we had other POV’s throughout, it was primarily told from Violet’s perspective. In some reviews, the plot was slaughtered and ratings were low simply because they wanted a different plot direction. And although it wasn’t the path I had originally desired, I applaud the author. It was both written and developed well. It was heartbreaking at times, but it was a path that was well worth it in the end. For those looking for safe and easy, to be fair to the author, you probably need to skip this one. But for those that understand that life sometimes takes us on an unexpected journey to ultimately get to the desired path, stay with the story til the end. It will be well worth it.

This was fine. A quick read. I read it solely for the cheating angst; everything else was bad. There's also a lot of secondary characters and you can very much tell this is a world where the author has written a large number (too many) of their romances.

Honestly I don't even know if I'd consider this a romance...the plot is focused on the angst of the hero and heroine's breakup and they spend much of the book apart. The heroine completely moves on with OM, marries him, gets pregnant by him, and loves him until the OM dies. Then, the true hero and heroine start getting back together at like 85%.

Sorry they did Remi dirty. That hospital scene ruined the whole book for me. They were trying to replace his very existence. Luca should of never signed that birth certificate. It should of been Remi's daughters choice to have him adopt her later in life if that is what she chose.

Honestly this was boring. I didn’t feel this epic love for either guy. Why was both these guys so crazy about her anyway she was not special in any way. The one guy that had potential was killed off.

De todos os livros da Terri, este foi o que mais me esgotou emocionalmente.

Eu amei.

Eu odiei.

Eu xinguei.

Eu chorei... bom ainda choro, ora por raiva, ora por tristeza.

Luca e Violet foi o primeiro casal da segunda geração que eu quis ler, quis muito, mas de uma forma esse casal me decepcionou.

Loving Violet está longe de ser Luca e Violet, ele foi muito o sofrimento da Violet por ter seu coração partido pelo Luca e sua relação com Remington.

Os filhos de Jesse e Shane tiveram sua relação defina e Forever Rockers, não havia dúvida que eles eram certos um para o outro, que eles eram almas gêmeas, mas Loving Violet me fez questionar o quanto de fato Luca realmente amou a Violet.

O começo da história tão sofrida da Violet é inegável o quanto os dois são unidos, como planejam um futuro juntos, a possessividade dele, a suavidade dela...

Um amor que começa tão jovem sempre encontra problemas pelos caminhos da vida, os quais Luca não soube caminhar. Como o livro começa com eles no meio e final da adolescência, dá para saber que alguma merda irá acontecer e se tornará grande, porque adolescentes tendem a ser imaturos e inconsequentes, contudo, para alguém que tinha uma devoção tão grande como a Violet, Luca jamais deveria ter agido por conhecer tão bem a menina dele.

Violet, pobre Violet, a vida não foi boa com ela (no caso a autora rsrs). Violet teve seus sonhos destroçados pelo príncipe que ela pensava ter, mas que não passava de um sapo com um rosto bonito. Ver nossa protagonista sofrer tanto pela inconsequência de um menino mimado doeu, doeu demais. Ela não merecia. Ela não merecia tudo que ela viu e ouviu após um momento tão duro na vida dela.

A parte boa que na tristeza, quando as pessoas te decepcionam, a vida te dá os melhores presentes que se pode ganhar, e esse presente foi o Remington.

Eu JAMAIS imaginaria que torceria para não haver um final feliz para Luca e Violet, mas eu torci – e num universo paralelo os dois permanecem juntos para mim, porém foi INEVITÁVEL não torcer por esse novo casal que a TAB nos deu, Remi e Vi foram perfeitos juntos, a química, o amor, a cumplicidade, o respeito, eu fico imensamente triste em saber que eles não aconteceram.

Eu entendo a necessidade do final do Remington, mas entender não é aceitar, porque Remington fez o inimaginável, eu deixei de amar o Luca, eu não o queria com o pequeno milagre da Harper.

Talvez se entre os pov’s da Violet tivesse algo do Luca, talvez, eu teria perdoado e acreditado que ele ainda amava a Violet, ficou superficial e corrido no final, o que somou a perda do conto de fadas que se imaginava para esse casal que foi tão desejado em 2016.

No mais, meu desprezo pela Layla continua e parece que nunca terá fim, a atitude dela com a Violet após o que o lixo do filho dela fez para a garota, por Deus, ela foi egoísta demais.

O livro só não é um cinco estrelas por dois motivos:

Primeiro, pois o drama inicial da Megan com o Luca foi solucionado muito rápido após todas as
consequências, com tudo que os dois fizeram e a revelação dela ser uma maluca, resolver a questão com dois parágrafos foi pouco trabalhado.

Segundo, o sofrimento de Luca, para a grande merda que ele fez, não temos a impressão que ele sofreu, mesmo com o retorno dele nos dez capítulos finais, não deu para sentir o arrependimento dele e muito menos o “amor” que ele dizia ainda sentir por ela.

Terceiro, a reconciliação foi corrida, foi forçada, sim, forçada, Violet havia seguido em frente, ela estava com um homem que foi feito para ela, porque o encanto que existia sobre a pequena Violet e o menino Luca, este encanto foi embora quando ele a traiu, aliás, estamos diante do primeiro personagem masculino da Terri que foi capaz de trair o amor da sua vida.

Eu nunca vou esquecer este livro, eu esperava um conto de fadas, claro com alguns problemas, mas jamais esperaria um traidor, e isso acabou com meu coração. Não consigo amar, mas odiar 100% também não dá. O comecinho do livro foi lindo, a parte do sofrimento da Vi foi dolorosa demais e vê-la com o Remi foi perfeito, mas vê-la sofrer de novo e voltar para o Luca doeu demais.

Terri fez eu desejar um casal e no final fez com que eu implorasse para que eles jamais voltassem, nem todos leitores conseguem o que desejam. Eu já cheguei a não gostar de alguns livros das séries da TAB, mas esse sentimento de vazio e desolação, nunca senti numa obra dela.

Sobre os conselhos de ler Loving Violet com lenços e se preparar para algo que TAB nunca fez, sim, é verdade, ela trouxe tudo para um único livro: traição, brigas, depressão, primeiro e segundo amor, doenças, morte e perdão. O perdão não consigo exercer com o Luca, Layla e o Jesse, entendo defender o filho, mas jamais passaria a mão e levaria ele na casa de quem ele machucou tão brutalmente para machucar mais.

I’ve been waiting for this one!!

This gave me ALL the feels. I remember all the way back when Harper was pregnant with Violet I was so hooked on the storyline! I was fascinated with the immediate connection and how Luca was so protective from the start. As more books came out we read more and more developments into Luca and Violets relationship and I could barely hold my excitement for this whole love story. The first 50 percent had me on edge. I cried and laughed and got angry. As the story went on it really shocked me because the story really took another turn. I am not one for love triangles. I never want the same story line over and over and I’ve never felt that way about any books Terri Anne writes (she’s my absolute fav) I totally respected how different she took Luca and Violets love story from any other story. Again, I felt so many feeling when Violet found a new love and started a new life. But I got to be honest, I feel robbed. I feel like this was Violet and Remmingtons love story. I feel robbed of Lucas story. The part where Emmie and Violet sit down to discuss mending the relationships between the parents, I had a totally different opinion then Emmie. I think Violet ran away a lot and didn’t even give Luca a chance ever to explain. They say Luca is immature but I felt Violet was immature. And Layla is always made out to be the bad guy and she’s my favorite. Luca wasn’t really heard from in a lot of the book after half way through. Terri Anne browning can write the dictionary and I will still read it but I’m kinda disappointed in this! I couldn’t even appreciate her love story with Remmington because it was supposed to be her and Luca 💁🏻‍♀️

LOVE TRIANGLE! Such a huge disappointment 💔
I'm writing this with block letters to warn anyone who doesn't like such genre so now here we go..
I love Terri's writing and I think I've given 5 stars to each of her books but this book was so awful..
This book was really highly anticipated but it totally out in a bad mood...
The most disappointing thing was that Violet had scenes with Remy much more than with Luca 😣.
And I do mean that the majority of the book was about Remy and Violet.
The main problem was that no where in blurb it was mentioned that there'd be a third guy or any inclination about a triangle because such genres put me in bad place.
And even if Luca and Violet were meant to be together I wish that there had been more scenes with Luca and Violet but instead there were so few.
Terri had portrayed Luca and Violet soulmates and whatnot since the book- Forever Rockers and I think everyone expected their book to be only about them and especially not a triangle!!
I get that there has to be bad stuff in the book so they remain apart for some time because of the plotline if the book.
The last 3 books of the rockers' legacy were also not all candy land and unicorns..bad things happened in those books too.
