The fame, the fortune, they've done it all! Now it's time for a trip down memory lane. This book has five one story from each member of the band, and of course, our lovable teddy bear, Jacob.
If you haven't read the Perception Series, you may get a little lost. This book is intended for those in the know.
As the title suggests, these stories aren't for the faint-hearted. They are HOT HOT HOT! All the wicked things you've wanted to know about the guys, but were too shy to ask ( only some of you! ) is in abundance in this book.
Come say hello to old family and friends. Noah, Jacob, Nick, Slater, and Marcus are waiting to knock your socks off, so how about we get reacquainted with Rise Up!
Author This book is only intended for those over the age of eighteen years! It also contains spoilers of the Bound Series (Marcus' story) so it is advised to read those books before this one.
Shandi Boyes is a USA Today Bestselling Author who was an avid reader for many years before she discovered the love of writing in February 2016. Her first penned novel 'Perception of Life’ is a new adult rockstar romance that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat until the very last word.
In September 2016, her focus shifted to hot alpha men in steamy contemporary reads that sizzle off the pages. Shandi’s novel ‘Enigma of Life’ is an award-winning story on an FBI agent and the subject she was assigned to investigate. Her men are swoon-worthy, devoted, and alpha; and her heroines are strong-willed, determined, and loveable. You should start her stories first thing in the morning, or you may not sleep.
You will laugh and you will cry, but Shandi's characters will stay with you for a lifetime!

You will laugh and you will cry, but my characters will stay with you forever!
I love writing and reading. They are both my passion. My genre is generally set to new adult and contemporary, with a few twists thrown in.
New to this author I'm finding it a little hard to follow the reading order but after going through a few this is how I would suggest reading: Saving Noah Saving Emily Fighting Jacob taming nick Redeeming slater Chains Links bound Restrain Wrapped up with rise up and
I have not read psycho yet so that may or !at not be best read with the rest of the bound series.
Over all Loved Nick and Emily the mostest! Never have I read plot twists like that. Still kind of crying over their heartache. But as always these stories end with a beautiful HEA!
The only bad thing about this book is that it ends and it's so short
Sexy little read loved getting back into the world of the Rise up men and Jacob the love they all have for their woman is just breathtaking and the reason why book boyfriend's are so much better
Master Chains is still my #1 his part is my favourite and in my opinion the hottest
When I said to Shandi I was going to read Wrapped up with Rise Up, she said it was a little naughty. It. is. Good. This book shows some of Rise Up weakness, but lots about their strengths. Sandi write about characters that become friends, wanna be book boyfriends and just good ole boys. Stories that are believable and incredibly H O T.
I’m sad to see this series come to a close. Such a diverse group of characters who have each battled their own versions of hell- sometimes together and sometimes in private- made for the perfect group- musically and personally. Excited for them to experience their HEA! Shandi- I would read about Nick and Noah every day! Ha.
While it was fun to revisit this band and stories, I was happy with the ending being Slater’s book. I don’t think this really added anything to their stories other than just more steamy stories. I did like getting to see Marcus since he was not part of the original series. While his story is not one I plan to read, I did appreciate getting a glimpse into his story.
I am so in love with this book! The author took amazing memories from the Rise Up gang and made a truly awesome holiday book. I loved getting to reminisce with the characters and getting to see where they are now in their lives, was perfect!!!
Wrap up with Rise Up was fantastic! Shandi Boyes has defined this series with Characters that you laugh and cry for! Getting their endings was great but getting this epilogue was Awesome! Five stars all the way for the entire series!
This is the perfect finale for this brilliant series. This is a well written flawless story which had me totally enthralled throughout this riveting page turner and I highly recommend this talented whose work for all.
If you are about to read this book before read the rest of Perception, STOP! You will also need to read the Bound Series to get Marcus & Cleo book's. Well worth the read this book being both series together!!
Rise Up has had me wrapped up since the beginning. I know we get to see snippets of their lives in the other series, but I have to admit I miss them. They gave life to the wonderful world Shandi Boyes has created.
The Rise up Band is retiring. The boys who started the band with ambitious goals to becoming the best in the world are now men who have achieved all their goals. Fame, family and love.
The way this book wrapped up the entire series was perfection! Although, I have a serious question involving Jenni and Slater. Hopefully, one day, Shandi can shed some light on that. If you read all the books, you know what I'm hinting to.
I love how this wraps up the boys and their wives have come together. Telling how each couple emotional journey comes to the end. I definitely loved this series and highly recommend it.
