I went into this blind because I haven't read the previous stories by this author so I didn't know who Gia originally was。 However， that doesn't detract from the story and actually left me wanting to read the others。 Gia and Rhys are fire together and I love her spunk。 The story is not easy at times and I felt like throwing my Kindle at the wall multiple times。 But stick with it。 It's worth it。 The steam is just out of control and I swear I may have spontaneously combusted。 I went into this blind because I haven't read the previous stories by this author so I didn't know who Gia originally was。 However， that doesn't detract from the story and actually left me wanting to read the others。 Gia and Rhys are fire together and I love her spunk。 The story is not easy at times and I felt like throwing my Kindle at the wall multiple times。 But stick with it。 It's worth it。 The steam is just out of control and I swear I may have spontaneously combusted。 。。。more

One of my more favorite rockstar romances cause I couldn’t have loved Rhys and Gia more！ To Gia， Rhys has always been the one ever since she was 7 and she was just a little pest that he felt he had to entertain until 7 year old Gia is now a adult and it’s game on。 Loved this

Gia had always been in love with the boy next door， her brother’s friend… but he was never the knight in shining armor。 Instead he was always the dark and dangerous one who was never going to be good for her。 Try telling her that though。Rhys grew up and joined a band that got huge！ And the next time he saw Gia， she wasn’t a little bratty kid running around， but a full grown， beautiful woman。 And he couldn’t resist。 But the problem with falling for a rock star is the life they live。 She is always Gia had always been in love with the boy next door， her brother’s friend… but he was never the knight in shining armor。 Instead he was always the dark and dangerous one who was never going to be good for her。 Try telling her that though。Rhys grew up and joined a band that got huge！ And the next time he saw Gia， she wasn’t a little bratty kid running around， but a full grown， beautiful woman。 And he couldn’t resist。 But the problem with falling for a rock star is the life they live。 She is always competing with the groupies。 She is always trying to brush off rumors and heartbreaking gossip… until it all becomes too much。Now he is back in her life and turning it upside down once again。 The heat between them is always there。 It doesn’t matter how much time passes。 It’s the heartache and the pain following them around that is real kicker。This book was brutal！！ Rhys was one of those guys that was so rough around the edges I didn’t know if I loved him or hated him。 But ultimately， this book was a sucker punch to the feels and such a great read！ 。。。more

3，5 Stars I really liked the characters development but for me it lacked a deep romance… where the tension grows and they can’t stay away of each other … I missed their romantic connection ， it felt that the only connection they had was sexual …I really liked the characters personality… and loved the ending。 The drama in the book didn’t work out for me， I expected something different， but was ok！

Her plan wasn't ideal or fully thought through， but it was what she had to work with， it was the plan that was going to get her Rhys Granger。 But once she found him she realized he wasn't the same guy she crushed on years ago， he was brash， always agitated and rude。 After one night together he pushes her away， siting she is off limits and that they can't be with one another。 But every time their near he has trouble keeping his hands to himself。 She thought he would see her and fall madly in love Her plan wasn't ideal or fully thought through， but it was what she had to work with， it was the plan that was going to get her Rhys Granger。 But once she found him she realized he wasn't the same guy she crushed on years ago， he was brash， always agitated and rude。 After one night together he pushes her away， siting she is off limits and that they can't be with one another。 But every time their near he has trouble keeping his hands to himself。 She thought he would see her and fall madly in love， but that's not what happened at all， he treated her just like all the others that were lucky enough to fall into his bed。 He is the devil and she hates him。 So after her work with the band was done she walked away。。。 and planned to never look back！But as fate would have it， they weren't done at all。。。Between the pages of this perfectly penned romance readers will meet a man that should be hated， but is loved by many。 Rhys attitude pushes most away， his words are distasteful and crude， but his lyrics and good looks will lure you in every time。 And Gia knows that better than anyone else。 She knew she was playing with fire the first time she wandered into his life， and let him take her innocence， but she soon learned that what they had wasn't special enough for him to hold onto。 So she walked。 But now fate， and her work， has pushed them together again， and this time she isn't letting him get too close。 But he has a plan of his own this time。。。The pages of Rise were riddled with angst， drama， passion， and tension。。。 all the things I love in a story。 These characters made my heart hurt， gave it hope， and eventually healed the damage they left behind。 But it wasn't an easy road for them， the deck was stacked against them before they even began， and then they just continued to add more undue stress。 One moment they hated one another， and the next they were falling in love， it was a constant boiling pot of tension and angst。。。 and I loved the torture！ If you like edgy rock star romances then you will love what you find between the pages here。。。 the words are destined to put a hurting on your heart that you feel long after you find the last page！ Highly recommend！I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher， and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion。 。。。more

Cassandra Robbins spins off her Disciples series for a captivating start in book one， Rise， of her Rock God series。Rhys Granger was the guy that Gia Fontaine had always loved yet it was not an easy love and the road to a HEA with this pair was filled with considerable obstacles。 Ultimately a significant age gap kept Gia's unrequited crush on Rhys in check until the gap narrowed and the attraction combusted。 This was no superficial interest or casual fling that this pair shared。 Their interaction Cassandra Robbins spins off her Disciples series for a captivating start in book one， Rise， of her Rock God series。Rhys Granger was the guy that Gia Fontaine had always loved yet it was not an easy love and the road to a HEA with this pair was filled with considerable obstacles。 Ultimately a significant age gap kept Gia's unrequited crush on Rhys in check until the gap narrowed and the attraction combusted。 This was no superficial interest or casual fling that this pair shared。 Their interactions were littered with history including the fact that Rhys' was best friends with Gia's older brother who was not in favor of them being in a relationship。 This was an agonizing love that faced so many stumbling blocks it was impossible not to feel the pain and frustration of these portrayals。 Both Rhys and Gia's lack of communication and miscommunications fueled their torment and in the end this played as big a part in this couple's separations as outside influences。 Some people are meant to be together and it was apparent this was true of this pair but not without them putting up a good fight and doing everything in their power to sabotage their fated love。 Rhys took on the role of the rock and roll bad boy with ease。 The wild side of his rock and roll lifestyle was not shown with rose tinted glasses but as a more destructive lifestyle where limits were pushed and often brought out the less than flattering side of the characters in this work。 His path without a grounding force was taking its toll on him and those around him physically and mentally。 Gia took her initial attempt at a relationship with Rhys as a cautionary tale for going forward。 Tough and surrounded by defense mechanisms to protect her wounded heart Gia was a force to be reckoned with。 Theirs was an inescapable draw。 Both knew the allure of a true passion as their art drove them but it was their love for each other that was meant to sustain them and give them longevity in the paths they chose。 Ms。 Robbins did a great job of showing this couple's conflict in all its forms。Cassandra Robbins is a writer easy to get caught up in。 Her works are high on the emotion but she accompanies it with storylines that are intriguing and give the emotion somewhere to play out for amazing reading experiences。 Edgy is where this author thrives and imperfect characters shine in her writing。 Rise was full of all the great stuff that makes a Cassandra Robbins story what readers keep coming back to！*I was given an advanced copy。 All opinions expressed are my own。 * 。。。more
