About this listen
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!

Harleigh Wren Maguire is broken. At least, that’s what it feels like, a puzzle whose pieces no longer fit right. She knows one thing, though: Never trust your heart. It won’t lead you right, it’ll trick you. Betray you. And in the end, it’ll kill you. Phoenix Wilder is angry. At least, that’s what it feels like, eating him up inside. He knows one thing, though: Never trust your heart. It won’t fix things, it’ll break them. Taint them. And in the end, it’ll destroy them.

I’m head over heels in love with my best friend. Although, I can’t pinpoint exactly when Reeve Lancaster became my entire world. Was it when we were little kids, practically brought up together, after Reeve’s mom died during childbirth and his dad subsequently fell apart? Or when I doodled his name in my school journal at age 10? Maybe it was when we became boyfriend and girlfriend at 14 or when we shed our virginity at 16, pledging our forever?

This award-winning series from LJ Evans should come with a warning label: Do not listen unless you are prepared to invest your heart and soul. It's about finding yourself and your path on this wild ride called life while overcoming loss, heartbreaks, and illness. It's about family and hope and love. Each book can be listened to as a stand-alone novel but comes with spoilers for the first book in the series.

Knox Maguire is the king of our college campus, the star offensive tight end on the football team. He is the complete opposite of me in every way. I'm quiet. He's loud. I'm shy. He's definitely not. Everyone loves him. No one knows me. Fresh out of a breakup, I don't really trust him, and why should I? Knox is the ultimate player. When I become his English tutor, I tell myself we need to keep things between us strictly business. Watching my mother deal with my ex-athlete father long ago taught me to stay far away from that type of man. Yet Knox is impossible to resist.

After being ghosted by Rafe, Eva is asked to come be an opening performer for their band. It's a once-in-a-lifetime she can't pass up. She has been through something and wants to help her parents pay for the bills. However, she doesn't want any of the bandmates to find out what she's gone through.
In this book, Rafe still wants Eva, but tries to keep his distance. Eva and Rafe's relationship grows, but they also go through stuff.
I can't wait to see what happens in the next book and to see if they get their happy ending.

How to even start; when country meets rock, or in Eva case a ‘rose between two thorns’- how she works around two beautifully damaged brothers, and the world of fame.
It’s everything I expected and more, you feel the pain, the brotherly love, and you understand both boys better; I fell in love with Levi as much as Rafe.
You see Eva grow, you see her shine, and you want her to be there for them both, my heart melted and skipped beats all at once over this book.
But, the ending to this book, well, let’s just say it’s worth the wait in gold, and I can’t wait for the next one.
Heart be still.

Rise is the continuation of Eva and Rafe’s journey. Eva is asked to join Black Hearts Still Beat’s tour. Rafe acts like he isn’t affected and Levi is loving it. Eva didn’t expect to find herself in the middle of these two brothers. What’s going to happen when she picks one???
The emotions in the series are killing me! Not really, but seriously, this is one of my favorite rockstar series right now. I can’t wait for the next one!!
Sarah & Michael are so perfect for this series! Their voices are just like I would imagine they would be!!

Narrators Sarah Puckett, Michael Norman Johnson, absolutely loved the singing portion of the narration by both Sarah and Michael. Sarah Puckett is my favorite female narrator and she was the perfect choice to portray Eva. Her inflection was smooth and flawless.. Michael Norman Johnson is a new narrator for me. I felt that his inflection didn't fit the character Rafe that well. However, his expression did work well. He expressed all the right sentiments in the right places. Overall, I loved the story and the narration.
A highly passionate listen, definitely looking forward to listening to more.
