Summary

Eva and Rafe's story continues in this emotional, angsty, rockstar romance from the best-selling author of The Rixon Raiders series.

Eighteen-year-old Eva Walker knew going on tour with Black Hearts Still Beat would be complicated.

She didn’t expect to find herself torn between two brothers.

One wants her but he walked away before.

The other needs her but she doesn’t understand why.

It’s only time before the truth comes out, and when it does, nothing will be the same for Country’s newest sweetheart and the black-hearted boys of Rock.

Rise: The Interlude is the second installment of Eva and Rafe's story. The concluding book Rule: The Finale is coming soon!

Wow. Just. Crikey I live these characters so much. This book has taken me through all the emotions and I really feel for the characters. They make me want to hug them and make it all better. I've loved watching them, what they're getting up to and how they're coping with the situations. Michael Norman Johnson and Sarah Puckett do a fabulous job with the narration, really adding nuance to the story. I need to know what happens next!!!

Just love these characters!

Rafe thought he was making the right decision when he ended his relationship with Eva but now that she is coming on tour with them things are about to get very complicated.

Eva may be nervous and feeling out of her depth when it comes to performing on stage, but those feelings don’t compare to the uncertainty she feels towards the two brothers. One brother wants nothing to do with her while the other brother is doing his best to become close to her. Is there any way for this to end other than in disaster?

Rafe and Eva’s journey is filled with so much emotion and angst. We learn so much about all the characters and their motivations which leaves us wondering what the future holds for the band. I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook and thought the narrators did a great job of bringing the story to life. 🎧 Audiobook Obsession

I liked the first book in this series. but I loved Rise: The Interlude which sees Eva going on tour with Black Hearts Still Beat in order to remove the financial situation that her parents are in due to her cancer treatment.
This means that She has to see Rafe while trying to recover from the heartbreak that he caused. There is an element of will they won't they which is even more confused by Levi. Rafe's brothers growing bond with Eva, and the delicate balance that everyone walks to try and keep Levi stable.
We get to see different sides of the band and get to know some new characters that enrich the story.
The narration by Sarah Puckett and Michael Norman Johnson, was outstanding that I cannot fault and the singing was a perfect addition to the story.
The incredible writing and the fantastic narration really made for a wonderful listening experience.

... and I haven't even listen to book 1 (so obviously works as a stand alone)
This story is so sweet and tortured L.A Cotton certainly writes a gripping, action packed bitter sweet romance. Brought to life by Sarah Puckett and Micheal Norman Johnsons narration, both awesome and work so well together!

Such a beautiful story ...

I am a little bit speechless after finishing this book... I loved this book so much...

Eva has had a difficult life and at 18 she signs on to travel wiling Black Hearts Still Beat, a rock band the boy she has fallen in love with us a part of. But Rafe ghosted her in book one and she has no idea why. She goes in with trepidation because, from the time she arrives, Rafe treats her poorly. She doesn’t know what she did....

Rafe and his brother Levi also had a hard life too... But no one knows why, they’ve never shared any of it with anyone. When Rafe brought Eva to a party in book 1, Levi is drawn to her and Rafe backs off, he never tells him that Eva is his. He takes care of Levi and Levi has been a mess... the record company asks Eva to tour with them to improve their image.

What happens is hard, volatile, heartbreaking.... and will make you want more and more of these characters and their stories. I loved book one, and this one... broke me I think!!! L.A. Cotton has done such an amazing job of creating characters and situations that make you want to listen, make you want to be a part of their lives. I’m anxious for more!

Sarah Puckett and Michael Norman Johnson are fantastic for this! Couldn’t have picked better narrators!

L.A. Cotton!!! This is excellent!
