Summary

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.

Addiction and grief are beasts and can break anyone. Gage & Sadie are addled with both. But their broken pieces find each other and help to heal each other.

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.

Rocking Redemption

This rocked my world! This secret baby rock star romance had me glued to the audiobook. Gage, the badass drummer, and Sadie's love story were everything. The narrators, Gregory Salinas, and Kelsey Navarro, nailed it, bringing the characters to life. To truly understand Gage's journey and appreciate his growth, read the first three books in the series. The story's time jumps and emotional depth had me hooked. When Gage discovers the secret baby, he steps up like a champ. Their journey of trust and love was heartwarming. This series is a must-read if you're up for a wild ride of love, music, and redemption!

Gage and Sadie

I have been looking forward to listening to Gage's story - I knew it would be an emotional one as we have seen some of his struggles in the previous books BUT my heart was not prepared for the heartache both Sadie and Gage and have endured and what drew them to one another. Nikki Ash did this story so well and her storytelling was on point. I couldn't even be mad at Sadie because she was such a good mom putting her daughter before he own wants. There is love, forgiveness, brokenness, dealing with addiction, and learning to appreciate each new day. I truly enjoyed the characters and the relationship with the band members and family.

Kelsey Navarro and Gregory Salinas did these characters so well and really portrayed what they were going through with their great performance. They were enjoyable to listen to and had me intrigued with the story.

Emotional and Amazing!

Oh my, what a phenomenal story. From the very beginning, I was sitting with tissues as Nikki Ash broke my heart and she slowly put it all back together. Gage is the drummer for Raging Chaos and he is a mess. After losing his first love, Tori, he never was able to put it behind him. With self medication, he kept himself afloat. When visiting Tori's grave, he witnessed a woman, Sadie, devastated and hanging on the edge. He takes her in and our story begins. This is not an easy listen, far from it. It's captivating as it kept me living through both of grief, dealing with the addictions and just what can be tolerated. Sadie is amazing as she progresses through her life and finds her new happiness. Gage has a tough journey, and I loved how the band stood behind him and kept him on track. It's a fabulous listen and my absolute favorite of the series(I have loved them all!).

Gregory Salinas and Kelsey Navarro. That was all I needed to hear knowing this was going to be a good listen, but WOW! Salinas delivers Gage with every emotional tug possible. This character goes through so much, and Salinas finds every nook and cranny he had, making him real. Navarro had me in tears, and I don't cry easily. Sadie is broken and hurting, and Navarro had my heart hurting right along with her. These two were fantastic!!!

Awesome

Still reeling from the death of his girlfriend years ago, Gabe embraces the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, when he meets Sadie at the Cemetery he sees something in her that he can empathise with but as they get closer he can’t cope and pushes her away on the most awful way. A year later the women are at the park when Kayleigh recognises her, and she has a toddler with her who has Gabe,s eyes.

Fantastic story brought to life by Gregory and Kelsey. Loved it and couldn’t stop listening.

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.

My Thoughts on Bleeding Chaos

I felt like this was the perfect ending for this series. It was very well deserved for Gage and Sadie as well. They both had been through so much and I was elated for them both to get through it and find their HEA. From start to finish this book was well done. Gage had to earn back broken trust. Sadie had to work through fears and open herself up, and I especially loved that through it all they not only realized they had each other but they also had this incredible support system in the family they’d made over the years. This certainly wasn’t a light and fluffy story. It dealt with addiction, loss of so many kinds, and the very real struggles of single parents. But it also had romance and steamy times and an amazing ending. The narration just brought it to a whole new level. I loved both narrators and felt they were perfectly suited for the characters. I look forward to more books by this author and more performances by these narrators.
