Music
Born and raised in Atlanta by a father who blames the family rift on music, Amara Johnson’s talent for guitar and passion for poetry have always been just that: talent and passion that she channels into her work as a music teacher. When her estranged grandfather—a man known as much for his raspy, soulful blues songs as his perplexing personality—passes away, Amara discovers a collection of old letters, journals, and a tattered photo that offer more questions than answers.
Legacy
Jake Barnes, part of legendary country music star Evelyn Hart’s management team, is blown away by Amara’s voice when he sees her perform at her grandfather’s burial. Enraptured, he offers her a deal: he’ll help her uncover the truth about her family’s past if Amara agrees to come to Nashville and sing for him.
Love
Against a backdrop of music and the drive for answers, Amara and Jake grow closer, testing the boundaries of friendship as the summer passes. With Jake’s help, Amara is on the brink of a blindingly bright future, preparing to share her undeniable talent with the world. But when Jake confronts some unsettling truths, he’s torn—between Evelyn, who he considers family, and Amara…the woman he’s slowly falling in love with.

He nudges his head, calling me to the other side. Me? Of all the women in the club, this sexy man wants me to join him in VIP. So I do. And then I realize how tall he is, and the other guys surrounding him are also. Wait. This guy was on the basketball court at the game I watched the night before. The guys standing around him are his teammates on the Houston Outlaws.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
Aphrodite Greer was born and raised in the bricks—projects in Jagoda Bay. She met the love of her life, Baguette, on that very soil. The ghetto goddess had her entire life mapped out for her, and just like most life plans, things took a turn for the worse. Infidelity, losing her baby girl Athena, and constant fights with her lover's mistress turned her from a rigid, dope boy's queen to a soft, put-up businesswoman. With five years between their failed relationship, Baguette and Aphrodite remain best friends, and since Baguette has moved on, his current girlfriend has also joined their circle.

Story
At thirty-seven years of age, I haven’t taken the plunge, nor do I plan to. I’ve seen the damage love can do. It pretends to care, but then it tears a person down. It’s manipulative. Damaging. It lies. It hurts. It makes one weak. I know that all too well after seeing what it did to my dear mother. That’s why when women – beautiful, successful women – try to get my attention, I easily shun them. All of them. They see the exceptionally fine, black man with money. They know nothing of the dark secrets I carry – secrets I can never share with anyone.

Mix love, loyalty, and BDE thoroughly before adding an insane amount of passion. An unstoppable energy will provide the necessary spark to ensure everything is intertwined. Afterward, slowly introduce romance, and be careful not to forget this crucial ingredient. An individual's desire should be delicately woven into the fabric of their lives, never to be abandoned. Whips, chains, and nipple clamps could be fun.

I don't think I've ever listened to a book about a black country singer. I absolutely loved the book. I can't wait for the TV adaptation. The book was well worth the credit!

Rifts and Refrains🎤🎵
This story was so good and compelling. I loved how Tiye weaved together multiple themes such as identity, family, and music. The characters were richly drawn and well developed. I also loved that Tiye wrote more than just a romance story but also tackled the complexities of family, the weight of legacy, and the struggle to find one's true voice.
Slow burns are my favorite and Amara and Jake did not disappoint in that department. It was paced so well, and I could feel the burn and anticipation until the very end. The romance was sweet and tender that added a delightful layer of tension to the story without overpowering the main themes, which I appreciated.
Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves romance, family dramas, or stories of self-discovery. It's a beautifully written and heartfelt story that left me feeling warm inside. Lastly, the narrators did a wonderful job!

Nothing short of amazing
Rifts and Refrains is not just a story, a lovely slow burn, it is an education. Jake and Mari’s story provide lessons in forgiveness, redemption, perseverance, love, and acceptance. Mari teaches us to leap and follow your dreams in spite of other’s opinions and obstacles. Country music is one of my favorite genres of music. I am excited about the strides African Americans are making in the genre. Thank you Tiye for spotlighting our contributions and accomplishments. We are Country. It is in our roots and heritage. Benjamin Charles and Iikane also did an phenomenal job bringing this story to life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautifully written
There are times when you read, or listen, to a book and it strikes you that a lot of time and care went into crafting the story. This was such a book. The research, characterization, and writing were done brilliantly. I absolutely loved all the information about Black artists and their contribution to country music. I appreciated walking away with so much knowledge. The romance between Jake and Amara took a backseat to history, sites, and sounds of Nashville, though. I would’ve liked a bit more of the romance, but it was a small price to pay for everything we did get. And the narration was good. Not great, but good. Well done🤗

Definitely read like a movie!
This story read like a movie. I really enjoyed it and the performances by the narrators were great but I think Benjamin Charles goes down too low and it gives off a sound that doesn't vibe with the characters. His regular narrating voice is great, but when he's "acting" as the character he goes off the rails, in my opinion.
overall, both narrators did great and really brought this story to life.

A book you lean in closer to hear
I truly felt like I took a visit outside of Texas to Heartland( if it were a real place). The unique use of words to describe the characters inner thoughts and chemistry between all of them felt genuine. I felt connected to all of the women in this story. I was surprised by the men in this story. The magic of the studio moments allowed me to explore a singing experience as a cowgirl I didn't know I can be. Great story
