Goodness I should learn to control myself... I read this baby in one sitting and now I'm having withdrawls. I miss these characters already and I'm craving so much more!!

I seriously CANNOT get enough of all these characters and this story, I'm so glad this is a trilogy so I have three times as much words to read as normal, even though the waiting in between sucks because I honestly could keep on reading about Rafe and Eva and the rest of the band for days on end...really.

I think I've mentioned before but I freaking love rockstar romances that are set while the band goes on tour so this book was already amazing for me for that reason alone but even more so because I love each and everyone of these characters and after Rise, I love them even more now. Getting to watch Eva get up on that stage and sing her heart out, winning over Black Hearts Still Beat's fans and the world.

Learning more about each band member and mostly the Hunter brothers is amazing and at the same time heartbreaking. Levi breaks my heart and although I hate that he only thinks about himself most of the time... his past and every demon he still faces makes me feel so much for him. I just hope he sees what's he doing to the band and seeks real help. He deserves to move on with his life and his brother deserves it too so he can finally let of go and think of himself first, so he can be happy with Eva. Sigh. I want these two to work so bad but not at the cost of the band and Levi and Rafe's relationship. I'm scared but hopeful and so darn ready for more.

I really really hope L. A. plans on writing books for all the other band members because as much as I love Rafe and Eva, my heart really is soft for Levi too and with everything that we learn about him and his past... I want him to find his own Eva and find happiness so his brother can be happy without all the guilt he feels. And of course, gosh I want Damon and Ruby so bad! And to learn all about Hudson and Molly and the episode about his hair. I need to know all the things!

Black Hearts Still Beat series is an amazing rockstar romance about two artists from very different backgrounds that find each other and somehow their pieces fit in all the right places. It's a whole journey of chasing dreams, fighting demons and finding love.
