In TEMPT ME, Rocki lost her husband in the line of duty, and now puts on a charity event every year in honor of him. She still loves her husband, but it's time for her to move on (as best she can). I have to admit, I wasn't a huge fan of the nickname "Rocki". It made her sound like she was a teenager playing grownup. But as I go by a shortened version of my real name IRL, I can understand it's use. Not everyone is a fan of their real names, and you can only use what you're given, right? :) Ultimately, I liked Rocki and how strong she was. She didn't let the events of her past turn her into a whiny little female, but rather she embraced her femininity and empowered herself to be the strong woman she is.While I liked Cole, I didn't like how he kept his fiance around for too long. He kept putting up with her cranky attitude (Amazon's guidelines prevent me from calling her what I'd really like to), even allowing the brat to talk negatively about Rocki when he was actively falling for her. I ended up wanting to kick him in his shins before the end, but ultimately he did redeem himself.
