Evangeline Walker knows how quickly everything can change.

But nothing can prepare her for the moment she meets Rafe Hunter.

Intense gray eyes.
Wicked smile.
Tattoos inked on his skin just begging to be touched. 

Those aren’t the reasons Eva should stay away from him though.

The fact he’s the bassist for America’s hottest rock band is the reason she should run and never look back.

Everyone knows the greatest love stories all start somewhere.

... this is their beginning.

Eva and Rafe

Eva has come through a year of grueling chemo and pain. The emotional pain is as difficult as the physical pain. Her family has financial problems but she is alive and supposed to be happy. Not easy. A plot between her BFF and her mom get her accepted in a singing contest. One of the judges is a member of the hottest thing in rock. Even if she is a country singer it is an amazing opportunity.

Meeting Rafe, a member not judging the contest begins what she knows is a mistaken relationship. Can she trust him? He seems to have his own problems besides being famous and the stress of touring.

The story is of two young people with pressure who try to find something outside of their stressful lives.

For Rock Romance fans this is a winner. The characters are likable with strength beyond their years. This is a cliffhanger in three parts.

Author: L. A. Cotton
Genre: Angsty Rock Star Romance



Blurb

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.

Eva & Rafe continued

She hasn't heard from him. She should have known. Now she's offered a chance to pay her parents back for all the sacrifices they made for her. She has to pull up her big girl panties (and keep them up) Touring with the band would be hard enough but her feelings for Rafe make it so much worse. Add the way Levi is starting to feel could be an ending instead of the beginning of her career.

The touring life is both wild and exhausting. Add the emotional stress and touring life might be too much. While the rest of the band seems to make her feel part of the family, Rafe ignores or scowls at her. Will it remain that way? She's supposed to mellow out the band and especially Levi. How can she be there for Levi when she's in love with his brother who shuns her?

Could it get worse? What could happen to confuse Eva's life even more? You'll have to read to find out no spoilers here.

Title: Rule: The Finale
Series: Black Hearts Still Beat #3
Author: L. A. Cotton
Genre: Angsty Rock Star Romance



Blurb

Rafe Hunter thought he was destined for two things in life: playing guitar, and keeping his brother on the straight and narrow.

Until Eva.

She makes him want to be better. Makes him dream of life after the band. But Black Hearts Still Beat is all he’s ever known.

Rafe wants a future with Eva but when you’re choosing between your heart and head, fame or the future, nothing is ever simple.

Music saved them, but is it finally time for Rafe to let his heart rule? Or will love be the ultimate downfall of Eva and her Black Hearted boys?

Eva & Rafe continued

Rafe and Eva return to the band and the tour. How will they be greeted? How is Eli?

So many questions. Eva knows she was wrong to leave but just had to have some time. When Rafe came after her it could have ended the band. Coming back will take work to be accepted again.

Will they continue as the stars they have been? If it isn't enough that the brothers, Rafe and Eli, have issues with Eva between them, is someone else working against the success of the band? Is someone trying to remove Eva? When trouble stirs will the guys pull together as the family they have always been and include Eva?

A good ending to Rafe and Eva's story. It is touching with angst, love, steam, snark, and loyalty. The reader is gonna love the BlackHearted boys and their girl.
