Rocket

A Dixie Reapers Bad Boys Romance (Hades Abyss MC, Book 2)

By: Harley Wylde

Narrated by: Umi Markkanen

Violeta—It’s been a year since I was brought to the US and given to Rocket. I’d thought he was like the others and would only cause me pain. I was wrong. Rocket is the kindest, sweetest man I’ve ever met. I arrived an abused, pregnant teen. Now I’m a more confident woman, and I have Rocket to thank. Falling in love with him was inevitable, but now I need him to see me as a desirable woman and not a girl who needs his protection.

Rocket—The young girl who came to live with me was more broken than I’d realized. The horrors she faced have made her stronger, but it didn’t happen overnight. It’s hard not to watch her, to want her. I shouldn’t. I’m too damn old for an eighteen-year-old woman. She’s not as fragile, physically and emotionally, but I can’t shut off the protector inside me that wants to shelter her and keep her safe. When she’s taken, I know that the men responsible will die. I only hope that side of me doesn’t scare my sweet Vi, but nothing will stop me from spilling their blood. I just don’t know if we can end the war before it starts, or if this will only be the beginning. I’ll keep her safe, no matter the cost, because she’s mine whether she knows it or not.

WARNING: This book contains violence, strong language, explicit sex scenes, and an abused woman. But it also has a biker who will protect the woman he loves, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

MC Romance

I enjoyed Rocket and Violeta's story. It was action-packed and steamy. I liked the storyline. Umi Markkanen did a great job with the narration.

Love it!

Rocket and Violetta are in a difficult situation. Violetta has been abused and was literally given to Rocket. Expecting the worst, Violetta finds the best and I love that. This book does deal with some sensitive topics, so make sure you read the warnings before listening.

Rocket

Umi Markkanen voice makes these stories amazing. This was Rocket and Violeta story. A pretty big age gap. This was a very sad story. Violeta was a strong-willed women though, she found the best in everything. I loved the action, storyline, and the characters.

A fiercely protective biker and a love that heals

Rocket is such an emotional, intense read, and it completely pulled me in from the start. Violeta’s journey, from a frightened, abused teen to a confident young woman, was handled with care, and I loved seeing how much of that growth came from Rocket’s steady, patient support. Their relationship is layered with tenderness, restraint, and simmering tension, which made their connection feel earned and genuine.

Rocket himself is the ultimate protector. Yes, there’s an age gap, and yes, he struggles with it, but that inner conflict made his character even more compelling. He’s rough around the edges, loyal to his MC, and absolutely ruthless when it comes to keeping Vi safe. The no-cheating and guaranteed HEA made it easy to sink into the story and trust the journey.

I listened to the audiobook, and once again Umi Markkanen did an amazing job. Her narration added so much depth and emotion, especially to Rocket’s protective instincts and Vi’s vulnerability and strength. She really brings the story to life.

This book has dark moments, but it’s also filled with heart, healing, and fierce devotion. If you enjoy biker romances with strong emotions, protective heroes, and powerful character growth, Rocket is a must-read (or listen).

good

I read this as a stand alone. I really have to say that this was a sad story. I am sorry but when girls are sold like that as a teen it wrong. I am so glad her and her sister got way from that and is off to there happy ever after
