Riven

De: Roan Parrish

Narrado por: Chris Chambers, Iggy Toma

Theo Decker might be the lead singer of Riven, but he hates being a rock star. The paparazzi, the endless tours, being recognized everywhere he goes - it all makes him squirm. The only thing he doesn't hate is the music. Feeling an audience's energy as they lose themselves in Riven's music is a rush unlike anything else...until he meets Caleb Blake Whitman. Caleb is rough and damaged, yet his fingers on his guitar are pure poetry. And his hands on Theo? They're all he can think about. But Caleb's no groupie - and one night with him won't be enough.

Just when Caleb is accepting his new life as a loner, Theo Decker slinks into it and turns his world upside down. Theo's sexy and brilliant and addictively vulnerable, and all Caleb wants is another hit. And another. That's how he knows Theo's trouble. Caleb can't even handle performing these days. How the hell is he going to survive an affair with a tabloid superstar? But after Caleb sees the man behind the rock star, he begins to wonder if Theo might be his chance at a future he thought he'd lost forever.

Contains mature themes.

Beautiful Love Story!

I loved this book! The characters are amazing and grow so much. I loved them both from the start and their meet cute was great! This is rockstar/musician romance, strangers to lovers, and more. It’s romantic, spicy, and full of love and friendship.

Magical Music

One reluctant Rockstar, one recovery blues singer.... both with some personal demons to slay. Their worlds collide and its beautiful, yet rocky. They both have to find a way to deal with their own personal plight, while helping the other. All while trying to navigate falling in love and doing it in a very public setting. Narration was superb!

sooo good!!!

all the r ight feels...I've been searching for the excitement of a great book and didn't want to stop listening to this one! can't wait for the next....so worth it!

Good story...I'd listen to the rest of the series

2 musicians. One is a recovering addict trying to find his love for performance and the music without the drugs. The other loves music and performing but doesn’t love everything that comes with it. They’re helping each other find their love for the music and themselves. They are good for each other and they realize that after some heartbreak.

I like Iggy Toma but the other vocal performer is not my favorite (Chris Chambers). I like the story enough that I fought thru his narration.

A rockin good listen

I actually added this book to my library in late November, 2018. I listened in January and just listened a second time over night. Let me first tell you that I love rocker romance. I also love male/male romance. I don’t enjoy romantic comedy, funny or light romance of any sort, the darker the better. While this is not a dark romance, in the truest sense, it is not the happiest of stories. These men are musicians, gorgeous and tatted up, talented and miserable. They stumble into each other in a bar, one night stand material for sure. One is a sad man whose career in music has ended in unhappiness, the other is a young and reluctant misfit. As their lives unfold they hurt one another, heal each other and fall deeply into a forever love. This book is beautifully written, flowery in parts and stark in others. There is a bit of humor a lot of tears and, some very hot and sexy parts. Roan Parrish shows us loneliness, drug addiction and fear and how these things are overcome in heroic and very ordinary ways. Now, a word to the narrators. Chris Chambers and Iggy Toma become these men. They are the perfect choice and pair as beautifully as any couple could. I love them both. Iggy Toma was my “boy crush” last year. I think this will still be his year. I sincerely hope the two of them continue to work together.
