Christina ( The MasqueReader )'s Reviews > Rise: The Interlude

I can NOT stop thinking about Rafe & Ava! Cotton's writing makes me want a lifetime of these two! Rise is the 2nd book in the Black Hearts Still Beat series, if you haven't read Rush (book 1) go grab it....because Rise releases February 18th.

If you love Rock star romances, you'll love this one! Except Cotton has added a little twist to this tale. The heroine isn't just some girl in the crowd somewhere that the rockstar fell for...nope, she is a small town girl who competed in a talent contest and quickly became country's newest sweetheart. While participating in the contest, she crosses path with one of the BHSB band members, and all too quickly becomes addicted to everything about him. After she's brought on tour with Black Hearts Still Beat, she quickly becomes an important person to the entire band. While following her dreams she forms relationships with each band member that's sweet, sometimes funny and so heartwarming to read about. It's the relationship between Rafe, Ava and Levi that is the hardest yet also the most magical. To affect someone else's life in a way that changes them is such a joy; but to do that to two people....and for them brothers!!! SERIOUSLY! The angst between these characters is off the charts! You will find yourself rooting for them even more; but what if them ending up together breaks another.

At some points this book touches on some hard life lessons in addition to some sweet moments that are guaranteed to give you ALL THE FEELS! I love reading rock star romances, this one by LA Cotton is definitely going down in my favorites!
