I loved the conclusion to Eva and Rafe's love story! And what a journey we have been on ♥️ I have been routing for Eva and Rafe from the very beginning and am so glad they got there in the end. There were definitely ups and downs along the way! I love this series and the dynamic between Eva, Rafe and Levi. It is so beautifully written. The ending of the book leads us nicely into Levi's book. Which with that ending I can't wait! I can't wait for other stories from this world

Black Hearts Still Beat and mine is pounding!!!!!

Eva and Rafe are swoon goals. Rafe is seriously hot! His words, his aura, his love for Eva!!! I'm sinking, falling so hard for this tortured brooding boy! I am glowing in my warmth and happiness for them. LA Cotton gave us a rockstar worth swooning over. She gave us a family. She gave us an experience. She also seems to be giving us Levi's story!

I'm both torn and enthralled by the dropped bomb. I am trying to prevent myself from rocking in the corner. I just can't keep those words from playing on repeat in my mind.

Rule isn't the end and I can't be happier about that but I am so worried for the future! Black Hearts Still Beat and I'm worried someone's might stop.

Rule: The Finale by L.A. Cotton is a Rockstar romance. This is the third book in the Black Hearts Still Beat series and is the final book for Eva and Rafe's story. 

All I can say is WOW! Lianne did an amazing job wrapping up Eva and Rafe's story. I know we will be seeing more of them as the series continues so I can't wait. 

The book does end on a cliffhanger, but that wasn't much of surprise since it's setting up Levi's book Ruin which will be released on November 17, 2020. 

I would highly recommend this series if you love Rockstar Romances.

In this conclusion for Rafe and Eva's story we pick up where the last book left off and now these two have a lot of decisions to make about their futures. They have finally decided what they want from one another but now they have to learn how to navigate the mess that their decisions have left behind including Levi. Levi struggles with his own demons and isn't trusting anyone even Rafe and Eva right now so they are trying to figure out how this will effect things. I loved the love that Eva and Rafe had for each other but my heart hurt for Rafe as he struggled with his insecurities and how he is no longer the one Levi leans on and can he trust that things are platonic between his love and brother. Eva struggles with how to come to terms that she may be coming in between the band and brothers, but as the story continues we see she is actually the glue that holds them together. It was such a great and emotional read, Rafe and Eva are perfection and love each other deeply. My heart hurt for the characters as they tried to learn to trust each other and come to terms things won't be the same but maybe one day things can be somewhat close to the way it was. I can't wait for more of Black Hearts Still Beat and I hope Levi can fight his demons and find peace.

Rocked my world.

Eva and Rafe’s story comes to an end in Rule!

Ahhh Rafe...dear sweet Rafe. He finally got his stuff together and picked Eva over selfishness, because honestly he was being selfish before. He thought he was being selfless and putting Levi first, but he was hurting Levi and being a crutch, and also he was hurting himself. Rafe deserved something good in his life, and Eva sure as heck deserves to be treated like a princess. I feel for Levi, I really do, I cannot wait to see how his story unfolds, obviously there’s so much more to his story!

Eva’s finally blossoming into a character that stands up for herself and what she wants. She isn’t hiding anymore, she’s living, which is the best way that she can honor her struggles. Rafe and Levi still have some mending to do, but they’re working on it. Honestly, that cliff hanger was just plain mean, but I’m so exciting for Ruin, I cannot wait for Levi’s story, I just love his poor tortured soul, I can’t wait to see his story unfold!

Rule is the final in the trilogy of Eva and Rafe! Book two left us wondering if they would make it back onto the Black Hearts tour, get back together, or fall apart. So many questions!!!

This book follows the couple as they handle the blowout from their sudden depature as well as Rafe doing something for himself for the first time since he took responsiblity for his brother. Along the way there is still the issues Eva has faced with Riley, and a new face comes on tour that not everyone is sold on.

The story of Rafe and Eva is in my top three of favorite rockstar romances to date! Her sweetness really calms all the rough edges of Black Hearts.......... Rumor has it the band is going on a world tour that will allow us to catch up with them to see what new things are happening!

The long anticipated conclusion to Eva & Rafe is finally here!
BHSB grabbed my attention from the first notes, and held it tightly. And here we are.
Things I loved: the gooey love between the two, finally seeing some resolution for the couple, and the buildup for what happens next.
Things I didn’t really care for: the book kind of felt more like a prequel for Levi’s story, as opposed to a conclusion for the existing couple, nothing really major happened that made me feel like they needed the 3rd book, instead it kind of felt a little dragged.
Overall, I do love this rock world that Cotton has created, and am very curious about what happens next for the band.

First off before I forget... that ending.. it gave me shivers!! I'm excited!!

Okay, wow what a great ending. This ending was long overdue and so deserving. Rafe and Eva deserve their happiness. They deserve each others love. They ARE each others anchors. This road may have been a rough one but they are young and so deeply in love. There is no obstacle that they can't overcome. Rafe and Levi (and the rest of the guys) have been there for each other through so much. It's great to see them growing up and becoming stronger for each other. We couldn't ask for a better ending, thought that epilogue.... oh boy. The life of a rock star isn't easy, and it's a life that I would never want. But it's always fun to read and fantasize about. This trilogy is a work of heartbreaking art that I'm glad I got to explore. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
