Silent Chaos

Love & Lyrics, Book 2

By: Nikki Ash

Narrated by: Avery Reid, Gideon Frost

From USA Today best-selling author Nikki Ash comes a hate-to-lovers second-chance rock-star romance.

Braxton

Our senior year, I promised my girl forever.

Forever, as it turned out, wasn't enough. She told me so in her actions. When she took a match to my life, burning it to ash.

I headed to LA with my band—Raging Chaos—like we always planned, while Kaylee went to college, taking my damaged heart with her.

This was where our story was supposed to end.

Only six years later, our lives collide again.

Kaylee is the only thing I ever loved more than music, and I wish I could hate her for it, but the line between love and hate is thin and often straddled.

And the thing about collisions? They result in deadly debris.

Kaylee

When you love someone, you let them go. But what I did was so much worse.

Because instead of pushing him away, I shoved Braxton straight over the edge.

I’ve spent the past several years avoiding him, trying to make things right.

When my reputation has been dragged through the mud and I’m given the opportunity to clean it up, I have no choice but to cross paths with him again.

Being around Braxton is a harsh reminder of the way I lit his life up in flames, but I'm not sure he knows I've been burned, too.

If suffering in silence is the cost, I'll pay the price to make things right.

I just hope our history won’t play on repeat and he’ll see me as more than the stupid girl with the lit match.

Author's note: Like real life, the characters are far from perfect, make morally gray decisions, and deal with subjects that may be sensitive for some listeners. If you are looking for a safe romance, this series is not for you. Trigger warnings (which contain spoilers) can be found on my website.

Oh the drama! So fun.

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.

To Infinity and Forever

Hate to lovers, second chance and rockstar, I was halfway hooked before I got to the first page. But, once I started, Kaylee and Braxton’s story had me hanging on every single word.

After what went down in Controlled Chaos, Braxton understandably wanted nothing to do with Kaylee. His hate for her was strong, but the love he had for her was stronger. Despite the years and distance, his heart never got the memo to let Kaylee go.
Kaylee didn’t expect to run into Braxton again after breaking his heart but life had other plans.

Their story was aptly titled because there was so much unsaid between these two that simmered below the surface. Braxton and his feelings, Kaylee’s secret from the past. The passion, tension, and emotion was palpable. Nikki ensured I didn't lack for a single feel.

Just when you thought these two were on the path to reconciliation, a shocking bomb drop once again shook up their world. Taking through the ringer of ups and downs, Braxton and Kaylee refuse to give up on the beautiful second chance they’ve been given. I loved watching them date and take the time to get to know each other again. It was so sweet and I loved seeing that endearing side of Braxton.

Nikki Ash has delivered another deliciously addictive and compelling installment to the Love and Lyrics series.

Avery Reid and Gideon Frost did fantastic at helping to intensify the emotions written. They were the perfect Kaylee and Braxton.

Great rock and roll series

Well written with well developed characters. Lots of angst and this one made me cry, but the HEA was good for the couple. Need to know what happens with Gage!

Book #2 and so good

Book #2 in the Love and Lyrics series and is Braxton & Kaylee's. Nikki did a wonderful job telling their story. This is such a great series.#The FlockonTour
