Rise

Rock God, Book 1

By: Cassandra Robbins

Narrated by: Sarah Puckett, Troy Duran

I know what I want. So when opportunity knocked, I took it. I grabbed my shot, willing to do anything to make it happen. From the beginning, I knew I was destined to be with the six-foot-four, bourbon-eyed Rock God. Only back in the early days, he wasn’t a god.

Rhys Granger was my brother’s friend, the boy next door who wrote verses and played his guitar in our garage. He was talented. Exciting. Damaged. The kind of guy who made all the girls cry…. Except for me. I thought I was special. Turns out I’m not. And now…I despise him.

He’s the lead singer of the Stuffed Muffins, one of the biggest bands in the world, with dark hair, full lips, and a body to die for. Unfortunately, he’s a dick. Not that I care anymore. I have my own career. I’m successful in my own right.

So when offered another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I turn it down. But the universe has other plans, and I’m forced back into the savagely glamorous world of rock ‘n’ roll. Thrust into battling his seductive smile, his dangerous kisses, and my own addictive needs.

He might be a Rock God, but he’s also a man. And I’m the woman he never saw coming.

The narrator was awesome

This narrator could read a shopping list and be sexy. Added so much to a great story line.

Annoying female lead

The story was intriguing. Gia was so annoying throughout the story. Her behavior didn’t make sense. She made him fall for her then got upset about his past. He actually never cheated on her throughout the entire story. But she always played victim.

LOVE THIS WHOLE SERIES

Sooooo sad that it’s over… I love their story. Both narrators did a phenomenal job bringing these characters to life.

Rock God, indeed!

Really good rock story. A little more angst than I care for, but Troy Duran’s narration made it worth getting to the HEA. The female narrator was new to me.

Great story (Spoiler alert!!)

Ok.. great story. Freaking awesome narration!!
The story started out great, unfortunately I started hating the main female character when she was supposedly heartbroken because he said he would be in his babies life.. I mean really? Why would she want him not too. And come on, she knew he was a rockstar who had been living his best life BEFORE she came into his life. Like really?? Why is she acting like he cheated on her? She was the one acting like a crazy fan, and begging him to be with her💆🏽‍♀️.. he warned her over and over again.
Like I said loved the story and the romance until that. I tried to finish it without despising her, just waiting for her to apologize for being such a brat.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this story.. when will book 2 be out. And thank you for making it available on audible.

Sooooooo many tropes being checked!

This was good! Probably one of my favorite Cassandra’s and a reallllllly great audiobook! Rhys was so hot and loved his dirty mouth 🥵 Gia only got a little annoying for me because she kept running. But this was enjoyable and makes me wanna devour Cassandra’s whole back list.

Rock On!

I love a good rock star story and this one was exactly what I needed! It had the grit and and steam that perfectly aligned with the story between Rhys & Gia. Sarah Puckett & Troy Duran were a perfect fit here!

Angsty!

All the spice, all the angsty and all the passion! This was a relisten and I definitely enjoyed it more this time around. I felt like I connected more with the characters and really liked that their age mentality was real and not made to seem more mature than they were. I feel like that happens in a lot of age gap romances that the younger acts way older.

Heart stopping performance!

I think I need a defibrillator. This performance by Troy Duran and Sarah Puckett had me holding my breath at times, pausing because the feels were just too much for me in all the good ways. My emotions were taken on a wild ride as Rhys and Gia’s character put me through the wringer. The narrators took Cassandra Robbins words and elevated it to a whole new level of awesomeness. Wow!! You want some angsty, rockstar romance. This is your cup of tea then!! I can’t recommend it enough. It hurts so good!
