Five years ago Clover, who works as a photographer, sold a photo of The Devils which sent them straight to jail. Now she's contracted to be the official photographer on their first tour since their release - she's not sure WHY they requested her, but she soon finds out!
Three hot rock gods with revenge on their minds, one woman. Add in Clover's abusive ex and there are some thriller elements to the story too.
I was surprised at how quickly The Devils band members forgave her for five years in prison and instead treated her like a princess; I was expecting more anger.
This 'why choose' / reverse harem story does heat up, and the plot is not very demanding to follow. Still an enjoyable and spicy story well worth a read.
I love a rocker romance. Add the why choose and enemies to lovers and I am sold. This was so spicy and the story was a bit of a thriller. I loved every minute. I did not want to put the book down. I love how each guy had a distinct personality. Clover was such a strong character. I cannot wait to read more from this author. Thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Relay Publishing for making this arc available on NetGalley.
Anyone looking to read this should check the trigger warnings first, as there are some dark themes throughout.
Clover is a photographer who made an enemy of a band called the Devils by posting a photo of them which landed them in jail for five years. After they get out, they are going on tour and she is still working as a photographer. She is then thrown into the deep end.. as the photographer on the tour. Clover also has an ex-boyfriend who doesn’t want to leave her alone.
This seems like a story with potential, but which sadly wasn’t executed as well as it could have been, mainly due to rushing. The three band members hate Clover for all of 2.5 seconds before they seemingly forget about their jail time. She is happy enough to jump straight into bed with them despite the past trauma she’s been through. And there’s not really any character development or build up of their relationships, but then all of a sudden they’re in love.
One character also has drug addiction issues, but after he tries to clean up and then falls off the wagon, these are never mentioned again, which I found odd (because it was a big part of the storyline for a bit).
The band also mysteriously has the money to go on tour without a label immediately after being released from prison, and it’s never really clear where this money came from.
I did like the characters, but I think it would have been a better read if there was more time for them to get to know each other, and for issues to be explored rather than just apparently being swept under the rug.
Overall, the smut was pretty decent, but the storyline needs some work to make it more believable.
I posted the review onto goodreads.
Got this for review on Netgally.
I love a why choose romance with darker themes and multiple POVs. The start of the story gets very intense due to the shared past and very sexy tension. But that's not the whole book as its also about her being stalked by her ex. I really enjoyed it as it had enough plot for it to feel engaging and a lot of spice as well.
I could not put this book down! The pace moved fast, each character had depth, and it was a page turner. Highly recommend!
It was good, it was hot, but it could've been better.
At the beginning you get these dark romance vibes, the boys want to use her body for their pleasure to get back at her for the photo she took years ago that helped destroy their career. I was all for that. You go boys.
We didn't get it.
Clover fell into bed with these guys waaaay too fast considering her abusive past. These guys are assholes, why wasn't she triggered?
The guys treated her so good and healthy. And yes, you go boys, so proud. But that's not what they planned on doing if you're going by the first few pages...
The abusive ex popping up again the first time was done okay-ish. Still felt a little sudden in the plot, but was overall okay. The second time though, boy oh boy, was that part of the book messy. Give us the part in Clover's POV where he takes her and then give us the part where the guys find out. But we didn't even get Clover's POV. And the guys POV all went too quick. I wasn't invested AT ALL.
They get her back. She doesn't respond. Okay, trauma we get that. Suddenly she finds herself and decides she's going to kill the ex. The guys hop on board, have a gun already, exclusive pass to a sex club... It was all too easy and abrupt and NOPE.
The writing was so good though. I kept reading it even when it started to crash and burn. It really kept my attention on the book even while I was finding so many things wrong with it. All these things listed above could've been solved with a little bit of editing / rewriting. The writing is good, the plot could use some work.
The smut was excellent. Top notch. Very hot. The scenes were a little on the short side which was a pity. So many things you can do with one woman and three guys, but it was a little surface level. GIVE ME MORE SMUT.
I did enjoy the book, and the smut, but I wasn't very invested in the story. I'm giving it three stars.
Hot, Hot, HOT! Yea the cover gives it away, but very steamy RH and a bit stronger plot than the usual which keeps things interesting. Covers some dark territory, so watch for triggers.
The characters are interesting and the plot kept me hooked.
Thank you to Rosa Holland, NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the arc of this book.
This story was good for what it was. Taboo love with a woman at the center of a male harem. Not bad. The book starts with the band members incredibly irate at her because 5 years previously, she sold a very incriminating photo to the tabloids. They lost everything as a result. Unluckily, she is the photographer assigned to their comeback press tour. The thing that gets me is that they were so incredibly mad at her but within a week or 2, not so much anymore. I don't know if it is that realistic to have let go of that level of anger so easily.
Of course, this story is very smutty. That is to be expected given that the relationship is a harem. It was a little unexpected on my end but maybe I've just a touch naive. Surprisingly it isn't the most smutty I've read. Honestly, the smut cracks me up. I'm sure that most who read this and understand what is happening would get some thrills from it but I have no experience to relate it to so it is more a curiosity to me than a thrill.
The premise for this book had me intrigued, so I decided to read it. While I enjoyed many parts of the book- I wish it had more. The storyline seemed as if it went too fast. First the guys hated the main character, then all of a sudden they loved her. And parts just seemed very unrealistic.
The second I saw RH I knew I had to get it!! This is such a good enemies-to-lovers. Hehehe from Clover hating the situation she was put in to then falling for all 3 men 😩😩 And not only that but they're protective of her!!! What more could you possibly ask for. I love that they all a HEA because they deserve it, especially with the sucky way they started life they all deserved their happiness. <3.
Addicting!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It draws you into the story instantly. It was an easy read, while still containing a complex story, and the descriptive writing is almost POETIC. I couldn't put it down.
I love me a good reverse harem so was excited to get approved for this one on net galley. As a reader you go into these types of books more for the spice than the plot and that's what we got with this book. Which is what I based my rating on. I like that the book was told from multiple POV's to give the characters and the story a bit of depth. Which I wish there was a bit more of individually.
This one definitely falls on the dark romance spectrum with multiple TW including : drug use, sexual assault, assault, child SA ( off page), torture, kidnapping, borderline consent issues, murder, and violence to name a few.
I think my biggest complaint is that the ending felt rushed and unresolved. But I was still entertained as I expected I would be. Totally engaged in the story and read it in just over a day. A definite recommend for fans of the genre.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and or the author for giving me the chance to read and review Rocked By Her Devils.
This story is okay it gave me a lot like Den of Vipers by K.A Knight. The plot could of been so much better.
When Clover Pierce finds out she got a photography deal for a Tour by The Devils, she has to consider whether going back to them is worth it. Clover previously released a private photo that led the band to being imprisoned for 5 years, but when she lands the deal for the comeback tour she knows the pressure is worth it for the money. Will the sexual tensions along the way sway her opinion on them?
This romance is dark, steamy and exotic. The characters had an intense chemistry from early on, and it hooked me the whole way through. The way the group of four seemed to feed off of their flaws and worked together to resolve any pressing problems was intriguing.
Through the use of multiple POV's we can see the characters feelings and thoughts without explicit dialogue which I always love.
I wish we had more plot build up, some things seemed a little rushed and unrealistic. I also wish we also had more character development, rather than being stuck with the original descriptions.
I was a big fan of the side plot revolving around finding Clover's ex-boyfriend stalker. This plot added more intensity to the group of four in their need to protect Clover, this guy was a sicko and I'm glad he got what he deserved.
Overall this was a great dark, heavy themed romance. I would recommend especially if you're in the mood for something steamy. Thank you to NetGalley, Relay Publishing and the author for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a great dark reverse harem. This is a steamy enemies to lovers story about a photographer and her rock band lovers. This book has the right mix of story and spice. The story can be triggering for certain people. Some triggers such as sexual abuse, drug use, stalking and kidnapping. Overall this book was great and will definitely recommend to others that like dark and steamy reverse harems.
Clover is running away from her psychotic ex and straight onto the tour bus of the three Devils that hate her... what could possibly go wrong?
I loved this book. The drama, the sex, and the revenge. Filled with all kinds of naughtiness and depravity, this book hits all of the items needed for a great why choose, dark reverse harem.
I wish the revenge of the Devils was a larger plot point considering they went to prison for 5 years but even so, I really enjoyed this book and would definitely read this author again!
I wanted to read this one for me...not so much my patrons because this was not their cup of tea! I, however, enjoyed the romp as it were. It combined my love of photography, music and reverse harems! I would read this author again!
Rocked ByHer Devils, is full of all kinds of sex. Sweet, hot, rough and all consuming sex. I laughed at one point thinking if this were reality Clover would probably have an UTI most of the time after that much sex. Made for a wonderful story that helps to keep my mind off of the things going on in the world around me.
