I’m a permanent fan of Theo and Caleb and want to see more of those secondary characters that played major roles here. I enjoyed this story and the themes that resonated so strongly throughout. His voice was just delicious as Caleb and I definitely plan to listen to the rest of the series. The two narrators did a great job in their performances, especially Chris Chambers. I loved that we got both of their points of view with Theo’s light balancing Caleb’s darker view. He has some great friendships that help him come to terms with the challenges of being with someone like Theo while fighting the urges he fought so hard to overcome. I completely understood his neuroses and why he needed time and support to power through them. This was a lovely story, even though the fear that grips Caleb was often palatable. Both are consumed by their intense feelings for each other, Theo so openly and Caleb more guardedly. Caleb is overwhelmed by his fear of falling back into the dismal life of indulgence in drugs and alcohol. Theo knows his own heart but just not how to follow it.

Theo’s all beauty, talent and naivety while Caleb is enormously talented, damaged and fearful. What I loved about this story was the contrasts between Theo and Caleb and how that ignites their chemistry. When he hears Caleb playing his guitar at a bar one evening, he’s inexplicably drawn to the man and his talent. Riven Audiobook By Roan Parrish cover art. But Theo’s a true musician and deeply hates the infamy that comes along with the band’s success. Riven as its meant to be heard, narrated by Chris Chambers, Iggy Toma. Theo is the lead singer and songwriter for Riven, currently the hottest new band in the music world. That is until Theo Decker stumbled into his life. After several failed attempts at rehab, he’s a year into sobriety after isolating himself on a farm outside of New York, far away from the world that was his downfall. 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.Caleb Blake Whitman is a talented musician and former rockstar. Caleb can’t even handle performing these days. Theo’s sexy and brilliant and addictively vulnerable, and all Caleb wants is another hit. Just when Caleb is accepting his new life as a loner, Theo Decker slinks into it and turns his world upside-down.

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