"Rise" by Rochelle Allison

Posted by Caiteexx Graphics

"Alec hired him one year ago to be my keeper, although that isn’t what either of them would call it. Bodyguard. Driver. Whatever."

Alec is not the same man Bella fell in love with six years ago. Instead of the charming young guy she met in high school, he was now a real bad boy with questionable connections and business in drug-trafficking. On top of that, Alec tends to raise a hand against Bella once in a while and has recently employed someone to be her living shadow. Over protective? Yes. Suffocating? Definitely.

Ever since her boyfriend's change in character Bella wants and needs somebody else. She feels empty and trapped in a life she no longer wants. Enter Edward Masen, Bella's new protector, and the only person, who manages to bring a smile back to her face. Their attraction is instant and although both try to fight it for some time, their relationship is inevitable. But what would the prize of their secret liaison be? What would Alec do if he found out his girl has feelings for another man? And what secret does Masen harbor - is really he the man Bella thought he was?

All of Rochelle Allison’s stories are absolutely amazing. Always well-written and with interesting plot lines. I have yet to come across one I don't like, but it is definitely not Rise. Though there is some drug dealing and violence involved, Rise is definitely not your typical crime/thriller fanfiction. Instead, the story primarily focuses on Bella and how she manages to cope with her life and its dramatic events. Once Masen comes into the picture and the two develop that amazing chemistry, Rochelle Allison's story also contains some hot lemons (mainly towards the end of the story). And who doesn't love that? Good read!

Rise consists of 26 chapters and a total of 57,852 words. The story is rated MA for graphic violence, foul language, and lemons. Please only read this fan fiction if you’re at least 18 years old.
