Layla and Camden were friends, but he took off to further his music career. Layla got married and had a child.

This book has a bunch of emotional moments and I loved wedding both characters grow!

I have enjoyed this series and getting to know all of these characters.

Great rockstar romance set

I wanted to share my thoughts on the Raging Chaos band series. Each book in the series focuses on a different couple and is narrated by a different set of voice actors. "Controlled Chaos" tells Layla and Camden's story, "Silent Chaos" is about Brax and Kaylee, "Total Chaos" follows Declan and Kendall, and "Bleeding Chaos" is centered around Gage and Sadie. Each book delves into complex themes and emotionally charged moments, and the narrators did a superb job enhancing the experience. The collection is not just a set of romances but a deep dive into flawed, real characters facing tough situations. Nikki Ash’s writing, paired with the narrators' exceptional performances, made this series an unforgettable audiobook experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves intense, well-narrated rock star romances.

Awesome box set!

Each member of Raging Chaos will get their own HEA love story. The chemistry between each couple is off the charts but their women will need to dig deep as they fall in love with their rock star; the men must find balance with their stardom and the women they just can't live without. Nikki Ash out did herself with this collection and a definite must listen. The narrators for each book were outstanding.

Controlled Chaos - Camden and Layla's story
Silent Chaos - Brax and Kaylee's story
Total Chaos - Declan and Kendall's story
Bleeding Chaos - Gage and Sadie's story

Great series

I really enjoyed this series. I liked that they all have their own stories. Both narrators did an amazing job at narrating

Rockstar package wrapped in a bow

This 4 book collection is all you need all in one audio. There are 4 books that follows along the 4 band mates in the rock group Raging Chaos. With each book, it becomes harder and harder to find the favorite bandmate as your book boyfriend. It is almost 30 hours of pure enjoyment to listen along to each of their story. For someone that listens to thousand of audios, I want to point out that each point has a different voice to add as the characters which is AMAZING and so appreciated. Every narrator does an amazing job. This story was everything I needed and even more. 100% worth the purchase and listen.

loved these stories…recommend these stories well worth the credit and time!

I love how these stories have gritty real life pro

I'm so glad I was able to listen to these four stories as a boxset, because I was impatient for each of the next band member to get his story. I love how these stories have gritty real life problems they touch on. No one is perfect, just like in real life they have struggles and heartbreak. Not for faint of heart, and as I've seen plenty of comments in the book world from readers who want the characters to not have big issues to deal with, I will warn you this is not for those people. Truth is majority of people are damaged in one way if not multiple ways from past traumas in the real world, so I love when a romance has characters who are real yet still find true love and happiness despite the journey being rough and full of self inflection and healing. Narrators did a terrific job of bringing the lives of these characters from the pages.

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.

Audio:
Absolutely perfect. 🦩

Great series

I loved this series. I was completely pulled in from the very beginning with Camden and Layla. I loved the way they all became friends young and stayed that way. It definitely has everything you want a series to have. It has spice, angst, attraction, suspense and so much love. Highly recommend this series.

I loved the audio. It was very well done.

Amazing Rockstar series

To say I was like an addict listening to these books is an understatement. Each story sucked me in and they were all less than a one day listen for me. The character growth and trials within each book had a lot of depth and I love how each story built stepping stones for the next. Each couple faced their own problems, obstacles, and traumas (because, well, this is Nikki Ash, and Nikki is THE drama queen), but with all the problems and trials they faced, it progressed their characters and fortified their relationships. Now excuse me while I try to go figure out how to snag me a rockstar with an apadravya piercing.


Oh and all the narrations to each book was absolutely spectacular. Chef’s kiss.
