RISE
A great man once told me that champions believe in themselves, even when no one else does.
I’m Solomon Kano, and those might be the wisest words ever spoken. I’ve been through hell and back in my life, propelled by my desire to rise to greatness; but I also have my own secrets.
Legends often begin with a tragedy, after all.
I am my own defender and contender. I test myself daily and refuse to ever believe I’m great enough. It’s always possible to be better. That’s the only way to become the best.
On my path toward my destiny, something stops me.
Her. it’s always a woman, isn’t it?
I'd been determined to stay laser focused on the end goal of being a champion. For myself. For the people who believed in me.
Until she comes along, and lights up my universe.
She’s a storm. A hurricane.
Suddenly, I begin to question if I can have two purposes.
To rise; to be the greatest.
Or to love her for the rest of my life.

5 STARS FOR RISE......OMG....This book is amazing, I could not put it down. Get ready to aboard the emotional rollercoaster, it has all the feel you look for in a great story. The story was beautiful that had me in tears, smiling, sad and mad. I loved Solomon and Logan story so well written and beautifully told. These two are so strong and perfect together. I highly recommend this book, it is a page turner. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

What an amazing book!! The style of this book is a little different than what I usually read, which left me a little unsure at the start...but WOW!!! I absolutely loved it and couldn't put it down! The feels!! I laughed, cheered, cried tears of sadness and tears of joy! This is my new favourite Alison Ryan book and probably the best book I've read this summer!!!
