Incredible performances. Addictive series.

1- Controlled Chaos

🎸 A sweet, wise-beyond-his-years male lead …
🎥 … and watching the process of him getting friendzoned.
🎸 Tragedy.
🎥 Absolutely heartbreaking moments involving a sweet little boy.
🎸 Rockstars.
🎥 Close-knit, supportive parents & grandparents.
🎸 A husband I loved to hate.
🎥 Song lyrics—and this was impressive.
🎸 Second-chance romance.
🎥 Best friends-to-lovers.
🎸 Suspense, a bit of danger, stalking.
🎥 A very dedicated bodyguard.


This isn’t a dark read at all, but there are some dark elements depicted so if you’re triggered by things like gr*pe and domestic violence, maybe check the triggers. Personally, I really liked that the author chose to show these things, I was able to get more into it, and it makes fiction more ‘real’ for me. And the FMC was strong from the start— enjoyed that she found her limits and stood her ground early in.

One thing I thought could’ve been a bit better was David’s character development—it was good, but felt a bit rushed. The way he escalated so rapidly without any explanation didn’t seem strictly natural? But I suppose not totally implausible. Overall, still a great read.

4 stars.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The audio was absolutely perfect. 🦩


2- Silent Chaos

This was another fun one, that I even lowkey missed when I had to step away from it. The drama level is high and so is the angst and it manages to pull at my heartstrings at times.

I loved that this FMC was stronger than most seem to be depicted in this situation—she stood up for herself, multiple times.

The situation with a couple of the other band members is slowly escalating, just enough that I’ll definitely need their books too. The author also does a good job of conveying growth, at least for Braxton, and it’s plausible the way he did it in the span of one book.

Ends on a very dramatic, and satisfying note—well played.

Overall, well done. 4 stars for the book itself and 4 for the audio production.

3 - Total Chaos

*** Audible version ***

This is Declan’s book …

There’s something about this series / world that has gripped me—Ash develops characters I can’t seem to get enough of. It lacks originality, borrowing a very commonly used romance / rom-com-y plot, but still, it’s fun and I loved getting to know Declan and Kendall better. It did, of course, make it extra predictable and I had the layout of this entire book, with every little detail, pegged from chapter 1. Still a fun ride. :)

There’s plenty to love here, as usual with this author:

🎸 Both supportive parents (one side) and villain-parents (other side).
🎼 Rockstars & popstars.
🎸 Runaway bride vibes.
🎼 The Gage-situation is still escalating.
🎸 Road trip!


Overall:
3.5 stars
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️


4- Bl33ding Chaos

Finally! Gage’s book is here.
And … TALK ABOUT HEART-WRENCHING. Ouch.

First: this one has a few elements which people might find triggering, so check the warnings or the other reviews, maybe, if this could be a problem for you.

This one’s heavier than the others, and after they all built to it, I am 100% here for it. It’s not surprising, but still refreshing, if that makes sense, after a few lighter reads.

Overall, very well done.
4 stars.

Four Amazing Love Stories

CONTROLLED CHAOS
4 ⭐ 3.5 🌶️ 5 🎧

I really enjoyed this book. Controlled Chaos is the first book in the Love and Lyrics series that follows the band members of Raging Chaos. It was darker than I expected when I first picked it up (although it was mentioned in the trigger warnings once I started reading) which made me love it even more. Layla and Camden were great, I loved how the timeline was setup and the overall story was exciting 'til the very end.

Poor Layla went through so much in this book... I had some major anxiety part way in, just knowing something bad was going to have to happen with David to make her finally leave. I was super proud of how she handled herself though. She knew her breaking point and stuck to it, she didn't stick around and make excuses. I thought how she handled Felix's love for dance was fantastic. I was happy when RC jumped in to help too. I really loved Camden. He loved her for so long and always gave her the space she needed even when it was a detriment to his wants and needs. He was the perfect boyfriend in handling David too, offering to get along with him despite his hate, and then ultimately being her fierce protector.

I loved the overall plot line, it was very intense at times and kept me on the edge of my seat. There was a lot of spicy scenes, but they weren't overly descriptive. What we saw was hot, but I did wish we got more. I loved the supporting cast, both of their families were great and I can't wait to get to know the other bandmates better, especially Gage. His story is going to be really dark and I can't wait to see where Nikki goes with it.

Marina Barrett and Walker Williams did a fantastic job with the narration, I really loved listening to this story.

SILENT CHAOS
5 ⭐ 4 🌶️ 5 🎧

This lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers rockstar romance was a rollercoaster ride I never wanted to hop off. Brax and Kaylee were instalove from their first kiss the summer before their senior year, but when Kaylee cheats on him at their pre-grad party, Brax spends the next six years drowning his pain in alcohol, drugs and women. After getting fired from her previous PR job, Kaylee finds herself on tour with Raging Chaos to help out the band and Brax makes her life a living héll to pay her back. But the truth is, neither of them ever stopped loving the other.

I love Brax, just adore him. He went through so much in his life, feeling abandoned more than once. So much comes out in this story, the lies and betrayals just add up and up... And despite his ásshölé exterior, he really is such a sweet cinnamon roll at heart. The way he loves Kaylee is amazing, showing her with words and actions how much he cares. I was so happy to see him get his happily ever after.

As I mentioned, there's a lot of lies and betrayals in this one, so I don't want to say too much... but I really enjoyed this whole storyline. It wasn't as dark as Controlled Chaos, but the climax was not sunshine and daisies. I was really happy with how Brax handled everything thrown at him. Kaylee too.

We were left with a little and a big cliffhanger leading into the next book. I'm unaliving to find out if it's Declan's or Gage's story.... I can't wait to get my hands on Total Chaos.

I loved this audiobook. Avery Reid and Gideon Frost did an amazing job narrating Braxton and Kaylee.

TOTAL CHAOS
5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

Ever since I started the Love and Lyrics series, I've been excited for Declan's story. I love a good brother's best friend romance and this one had a decade long side of unrequited love and a forced proximity road trip, how could I not be excited? Well it absolutely held up to my personal hype. This ended up being a one sit read for me as I one handed it through dinner and dessert too. Although it easily could have been one handed during other activities as well....)

I've always adored Declan and Kendall, both have been such great characters in the previous books. Declan is this good guy who is a romantic at heart and has had a crush on his best friend's big sister for years and years. Kendall is this broken girl who looks like she is a heartbreaker, but really she's just a girl who's desperate to find true love. I really related to her in that way and like myself, she found her love of a lifetime in her best friend that she had friend zoned, too scared of the consequences to try.

I couldn't stop smiling on their road trip, they were just so damn cute. I was terrified about how everything was going to blow up since it was going so well and they were having so much fun.... Nikki didn't disappoint, that's for sure. We got at least 3 big twists in this book and it made the ending that much sweeter. I loved it so much.

We also get a little glimpse into Gage's book, which I'm also so excited for. March is going to be so bittersweet as we get Gage's HEA but also the end of the Love and Lyrics series...

Sarah Puckett and Teddy Hamilton were such a dream team for this audiobook. Two of my absolute favorites and I loveeed listening to them narrate Declan and Kendall.

BLEEDING CHAOS
5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

What a perfect ending to this series. I've been wanting to know Gage's story from the start and it didn't disappoint. It was full of heartbreak, angst, recovery and love and absolutely perfect.

The audio was fantastic, I loved them both so much and you could feel so much emotion while listening to them. I got totally sucked in and was sobbing all over again.

I loved Gage and Sadie's story. From them finding comfort in each other while dealing with grief, to Sadie being strong and there for their baby while Gage hit rock bottom all the way until their happily ever after as a family of three. These two were probably toxic for each other in the beginning, but it was also what they needed at the time. And it was certainly what Gage needed to realize he needed to clean up.

I love Nikki's writing and her stories. She does such a great job of adding a touch of darkness to her books and so much emotion. This was easily the darkest of the series and hit me in the feels time and time again. Even when I finally thought it was over, she doled out another gut punch.... I will say I'm so thankful there was no third act break up because boy howdy, I don't think I could have handled it. Instead we got a very vulnerable Gage who tore my heart to pieces... But it was perfect for this story.

I'm not sure where Nikki is taking us next, but I'm here for it. She's quickly become one of my favorite authors and a one click read for me.
