About this listen

Gage

I lost my first love. This time, I'm going to win the second girl who owns my heart—no matter the stakes.

Being the drummer for Raging Chaos is the only thing that’s kept me going for the past six years. Even the music isn’t enough to drown out the guilt that's been suffocating me since what happened to Tori.

When Sadie storms into my life, ripping through my trepidations, sorrows, and bitterness, I can't help but wonder if she could be my second chance.

I could love her, but in order to do that, I have to stop hating myself first.
Easier said than done. Before I have the chance to mend this broken heart, I push Sadie away and hit rock bottom.

The next time I see her, she has a baby. And if that's not hurtful enough, it's not just any baby.

It’s my baby.

Sadie

Bleeding hearts can still beat. I'm living proof of that.

At first, Gage was just someone to take away the pain—until I realized he was battling demons of his own.

I never meant to get too close to the devil with the drumsticks, but once I did, he shoved me out of his life with a force.

My heart might be cracked, but his is completely broken. And trying to save him would destroy us both.

So, I do the right thing and I walk away—not only to protect me but also our unborn baby.

I had no idea who Gage was to the world when I slipped into his bed. Now that I'm out of it, it's clear he’ll have to clean up his act before he’s father material.

But then we meet again, and I'm reminded of the man he could be.

The man he was born to be, before tragedy struck and the chaos left his heart barely beating.

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.

DO NOT Miss This Book!!

“𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙄 𝙢𝙚𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧. 𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙠, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜.”

The story I have been patiently impatiently waiting for since the first Love and Lyrics book is finally here. And what an emotional doozy it is!
I just knew Nikki Ash was saving the most angsty and heart wrenching for last! Oh my poor heart was in so much pain for Gage already but then Sadie just wrecked it tenfold. I was reading with my hand on my heart like Nikki no more. Gage had all the love and support from his found family but it wasn’t enough to keep away the internal demons he fought daily.
In one day, Sadie’s life changed irrevocably in the most heart shattering of ways. She and Gage met when they’re at the lowest point in their lives. They were both two broken souls who found comfort in each other while they drowned in their shared griefs.

“𝙄’𝙢 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩, 𝙎𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙚, 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙩 𝙖 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣…𝙄’𝙢 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩.”

When they first met, neither Sadie nor Gage was emotionally equipped to handle anything more than the surface level solace they shared. Yet, below the surface, feelings developed, terrifying and unexpected. While Sadie had a reason to bring her out of the dark, Gage still was in a tailspin. It took incredible strength and courage but Gage brought himself out the darkness. I applaud Nikki for not only her amazing mental health and positive therapy representation but the message of how you are the only person who can save you. While having the love and support of your family is an indescribable gift, it’s you who must take that first step towards recovery. I also saw the challenge and bravery that comes along with taking that first step. It is not an easily accomplished feat. Nikki truly made me feel the struggle Gage went through in his desire to overcome his addiction. My emotions were all over the place during my read. I’m talking every single feel.

“𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚.” - Maya Angelou

Gage and Sadie truly embodied this quote because after everything they’d been through, they had every reason to give up on love but instead they gave in and I absolutely lived to see that.
To say their story consumed me is an understatement. It was an amazingly beautiful one of resilience, growth, self-triumph, grief, love after devastating loss, and just so much more leaving me with the warmest feeling in my heart and tears brimming of joy.

What a phenomenal ending to this emotional journey of a series. It’s so bittersweet to say goodbye.

Gregory Salinas and Kelsey Navarro did a freaking mazing with the narration! They perfectly complement the story!

A Secret Baby Rock Star Romance

Bleeding Chaos by Nikki Ash is a secret baby rock star romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Gregory Salinas and Kelsey Navarro. This is the fourth book in the Love and Lyrics series.

I absolutely love Nikki's books! I can't help but binge them in one sitting. I loved the relationship that bloomed between Gage and Sadie. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

Gregory and Kelsey did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like secret baby romances, rock star romance, or contemporary romances.

Epic Story

Gregory is fast becoming one of my favorite narrators. Along side the amazing Kelsey, I knew this audio was going to sound so good.
Nikki Ash never disappoints in delivering a steamy story with so much emotion and heat packed in.

Listening to Gage and Sadie’s story while heartbreaking at times was absolutely beautiful.
Well done everyone!!!

Exceptional Story & Listen🎧Compelling & Heartfelt

Nikki Ash created something very special when she created this series and the amazing world it is set in, each book is just as fabulous as the other and I would like to say she saved the best for last, but that would not be fair to the first three books, I can say this is the most emotional, the most gut wrenching and heart-rending one. Not only did Gage’s story tear my heart to pieces, but so did Sadie’s, two lost souls or rather two souls lost in the grief of what they lost and not being able to move past it. From the start of this series and throughout, we watched a tortured Gage struggle and his story tells everything, and he loses even more before he picks himself up and learns to let go and live again. He was at Tori’s gravesite when he heard her, it is not uncommon to hear crying in the cemetery, but this cry was different, it called to him and when he saw her he recognized something in her, something he could relate to and he did not know why he wanted to help her and he does that night and several times after. The two shared a bond like no other, knew what they were going thru, they also got lost in each other to help ease the pain. Was this a healthy way for either, probably not and one of the reasons it all goes wrong, the other is Gage’s self-sabotage, which causes Sadie to walk and not look back, but she gets something special out of their relationship, something that gives her a reason to live and start over, though her devastating loss will always be a part of her. But life, or maybe it is fate that brings these two back into each other’s lives again. Either way, it was great to watch them get to know each other again and see how each grew into their own. This wonderfully written and beautifully plotted story not only captivated my attention the entire time, but tugged on my heartstrings too. It was great to see the other Raging Chaos members and their significant others, loved how they supported Gage and were with him through thick and thin. Nikki Ash, thank you for this amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧  And for the amazing narration, Gregory Salinas and Kelsey Navarro did an outstanding job bringing these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying, giving each a voice that fit that character’s persona to a tee and were believable in every role they played. Salinas played Gage’s role with perfection, grasped every side of his personality, from tortured self to his insecurities to his determination, and Navarro did the same for Sadie, grasping her grief and sorrow, her insecurities and her strengths. Both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance and had you feeling every single one. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this exceptional listen.

A Heartbreaking Story of Healing

5/5 ⭐
3/5 🌶️
5/5 🎧

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.
