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 ...

If you want a series to pull you in and keep you completely captivated, this is the series. This second installment of the Black Hearts Still Beat is not only entertaining, but begins to cultivate real life issues in a way that is truly evident in our society today. Eva is the warm up performer for the Black Heart Still Beats and as the new and upcoming country sensation that she is, there is a lot of buzz. She is still taken with Rafe, but she is hands off to the band members. The chemistry between them sizzles. Levi finds her intriguing too. And there are secrets, and we all know how that will end. This is a fantastic book. I love Eva! She is a force to be reckoned with. Not only is she a survivor, but she holds a love and patience that most do not have. Rafe is hard to get a read on because of the secrets he holds and the progression of Levi for me is what truly fires this installment. I am loving the dynamics and the plot, and can't wait for the next book!

The narration of this story is wonderful! I love Sarah Puckett and she portrays Eva perfectly. All the emotions that go through Eva are felt and we even get a song! Michael Norman Johnson is amazing as Rafe. He holds himself close to the heart and we are able to sense this in his narration. A couple of songs are a treat for us too! Looking forward to more!

Completely captivating
