Publisher's summary

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

4 - 4.25 Stars!

After listening to Controlled Chaos i wanted to experience the rest of this series in audio. As soon as i found out about the release of this second installment, i couldn't wait to start listening to it! I got back into the Love & Lyrics world right away. It continues to be so awesome getting to experience these stories again in this new way. I enjoyed this audiobook so very much!

I've listened to Gideon Frost multiple times before, but this was my first time getting to listen to Avery Reid's narration. Avery and Gideon's narration had the full attention of my heart and ears. The way they got me back into this world so quickly again added even more to my enjoyment of this listen. From the emotions that poured through to the realness, Avery and Gideon each captured characters of Kaylee and Braxton in such great ways. I can't wait to listen to more of these two narrators in the future!

I got right back into Kaylee and Braxton's journey. The beauty of their love to their heartbreak, theirs isn't an easy one. Has the past taken everything from them? Or can they moved forward?

Getting to hear their story really really added to the way it all hit me right in the chest. Once again, I went through a range of emotions from the start of this listen to the end! I really liked getting to dig deeper with Kaylee and Braxton.

With Silent Chaos, Ms.Ash has created a story that had me feeling so much and not wanting to take off my earbuds! I can't wait to listen to the third book, Total Chaos!

Be sure to read the author's note in audiobook synopsis as this series tackles certain subjects.

Silent Chaos

Omfg, what the heck happened there at the end? now that's not good. I hope everything is good. but anyways other than that big finish, I'm so glad that they worked things out, and man that was missed up about the dad. I can't believe all that happen. but anyways if you thought the 1st book was good you're going to love this one. but after that ending, I can't wait for the next book to come out. this series is just getting better.

I am loving this Series

Book one was great, I'm happy to report book two is equally awesome. I love Braxton and Kaylee. They've had such a hard go of things but love each other through the years. this is a great read.

the narration was excellent and really brought the story to life.

I received a free copy of the story and am voluntarily leaving a review

I Couldn't Listen Fast Enough!

I listened to this audio and I just have to say the narrators did awesome with it!!

Braxton and Kaylee get a second chance but those don't always come easy. I could not put this down (or stop listening)
These characters don't make the best decisions but I feel like that makes them more likable!

I can't wait to dive into the next one!

Second chances

Kaylee & Braxton caught my attention in book one and I had my fingers crossed that things would come together for them.
Hurts are healed in this one, but the path is definitely not easy.
Braxton was bitter and angry, and I desperately wanted a little more grovel from him, but I understood where his pain was coming from.
