Summary

From USA Today best-selling author Nikki Ash comes a runaway-bride friends-to-lovers rock-star romance....

Kendall

My life has been an endless loop of heartache and breakup songs.

I’ve lived in fear that I’m broken and will never find the kind of love that would piece me back together into something whole.

When my boyfriend proposes, I say yes, desperate for an easy fix. For a super-glue solution.

But on the day of my wedding, when my dad tells me to follow my heart, it doesn’t lead me down the aisle. Instead, it takes me straight to Declan Pierce’s car—where I crash his road trip.

The more time we spend together, the more he shows me it’s okay to be broken.

With him, lyrics aren’t just words on paper. Promises aren’t just whispers in the dark. And having a few cracks...well, they help the light come through.

Declan

I’ve had feelings for my best friend’s sister for as long as I can remember. Watching her jump from guy to guy, I’ve been biding my time, waiting for the right moment to tell her. And then she does something I never thought she’d do...she gets engaged.

This is the part where I’m starting to accept that the woman I love will never be mine. Until she jumps into my car in her wedding gown and tells me to floor it.

With Kendall in my passenger seat and the past in the rearview mirror, I plan to do whatever it takes to show her that she doesn't need super glue. She needs to find the beauty in the cracks.

Best in series so far

🎧 AUDIO REVIEW 🎧

🌟🌟🌟🌟

I enjoyed this one the best so far in the series. I loved their whole relationship and how it was so easy for them in ways but not others.

Loved whole situation they had going on. I thought at times she acted a little younger than she is but it didn’t ruin the story for me.

Easy to listen to.

Better and better

These books are amazing. I love how the characters just completely consume you. They are so well written and the issues are relevant. I absolutely love them. I can’t wait for the next book and I’m hoping that everyone gets there happily ever after. Amazing performance from both narrators.

Loved it!

The story of Declan and Kendall's romance had it all. A smitten, charming rock star with a heart of gold, and the love of his life who has always had him in the friend zone. A night of passion and an accident turn life upside down, but with, eventually, good consequences for this fabulous couple. Sarah Puckett and Teddy Hamilton bring their warm and expressive narration into play and ensured that I thoroughly enjoyed every word. Fabulous! 💖💖💖💖💖

Friends To Lovers Rockstar Romance

Total Chaos by Nikki Ash is a friends to lovers rockstar romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Sarah Puckett and Teddy Hamilton. This is the third 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 Kendall and Declan. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Bleeding Chaos to be released on March 23, 2023, so I can get Gage and Sadie's story.

Sarah and Teddy did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like friends to lovers romances, rockstar romances, runaway brides, or contemporary romances.

Love this rock star romance series!

I love a series that flows from book to book and Nikki Ash's Love & Lyrics does just that! This book features Kendall and Declan and what a story it is! Kendall is Camden's older sister and famous in her own right. She has some issues she is working through, but feels if she marries Kyle, she may just be on track. When circumstances change, she turns to Declan, her best friend and Cam's best friend for comfort. Declan has loved Kendall forever. Though the age gap is there, his feelings are strong and he has just been biding his time. But now is it time? Ash has created a family in this series, not only with Kendall and Cam's parents, but the entire band and their significant others. I can feel the love they all have for each other, and I love knowing they have each other's back. Kendall definitely has some baggage to work through and I love how Declan knows and understands her. And the underlying story for Gage is just waiting to burst out! I can't wait to hear the next in this series and fall in love again!

Teddy Hamilton and Sarah Puckett bring this gem to life with their amazing voices. Hamilton has such a warmth in his tone as Declan. Patient, understanding, frustrated and loving, he is impossible not to fall for in this character. Puckett is the perfect cast for Kendall. A little angst, and Puckett shines through with her voice. Her nuances frame the personality of Kendall and make her realistic. These two are fantastic together.

Sarah & Teddy for the win🎤🏆

Sarah freaking Puckett delivers a beautiful (slightly heartbreaking) performance as Kendall. Total Chaos is is a fantastic story of two friends finding their way from friendship to forever…even though Kendall thinks she’s not capable of forever…,Declan has always pictured Kendall as his future and now that he has the chance he won’t let her run away.

You guys! Teddy as perfect as Dec—the polite rockstar with a wicked dirty mouth and a heart that’s open to love. Mmm his tone & tenor perfectly complement Sarah’s sultry Kendall.

I need Gage’s story asap🖤

Beautiful Rockstar Romance!

Total Chaos was an enjoyable rockstar romance listen! I have really enjoyed the characters throughout this series but I feel you could definitely enjoy this one as a standalone. Kendall had my heart and I just wanted to hug her with how she felt throughout life. Declan was a very charming character who had loved Kendall from afar for years. Her happiness is all he wanted even if it hurt. They didn't have an easy journey but I truly enjoyed their journey to get their HEA.

Sarah Puckett and Teddy Hamilton were fantastic narrating Kendall and Declan. Their voices meshed well together and they really made me feel like I was there with the characters feeling every emotion. Teddy narrating a rockstar is one of my favorite listens!

Beautiful Chaos! Amazing Story & Narration🎧

I am loving Nikki Ash’s “Love & Lyrics” series, the characters and storylines have been amazing and so is the world she built surrounding the members of the band, “Raging Chaos” and their families. Each book in the series features a different member of the band and is just as amazing as the other, best to be enjoyed in order written. This third book Declan Pierce, Raging Chaos’ bassist, he has had a crush on his friend and bandmate Camden’s older sister for as long as he could remember. Kendall has her own music career and we’ve seen her make appearances in the first two books. He never thought he stood a chance with her, never thought she even looked at him in any other way than her brother’s friend, but they got closer over the years. Now she was engaged to get married so he will never get his chance, but she confides in him she was not happy with her fiancé, Kyle, and will call off the wedding. The two spent an amazing night together, and she left to go end things with her fiance, except he never knows if that happened or not because he gets a call that she was in a serious accident and in the hospital. When Kendall wakes she has no memory of the past few months, including the night she spent with Declan and that she was going to break up with Kyle. She recovers from her injuries and the wedding is a go, though she is questioning if she is doing the right thing up to the day of the wedding and the smartest thing she did was escape the church and make a run for it. Declan had been outside contemplating going inside, it would have been torture to watch her marry another man. He said nothing to Kendall about their night together, he was uncertain if it would have made a difference. I think he was hoping she would remember it and come to her senses, which happened. He was planning some time away after her wedding and she joins him so she could stay away from the aftermath she left behind. Kendall and Declan were great together and for each other, both beautifully broken and their pieces fit together. But life was not finished screwing with Kendall, she finds out she is pregnant and she is certain it is Kyle’s, Kendall and Declan’s love affair was doomed once again. I loved how everything played out in this gripping and wonderfully plotted story, it has the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. Nikki Ash, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride, I am looking forward to hearing Gage’s story.

🎧📚🎧 And the exceptional narration, Sarah Puckett and Teddy Hamilton did an amazing job bringing these characters and their story to life. They had a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying and were believable in every role they played. Hamilton rocked it as Declan, playing the swoon worthy rockstar with perfection, grasping every side of her personality and Puckett did the same for Kendall. As always, 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 have you feeling every single one. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another amazing listen.

Lighthearted Fare

In love with his best friend's older sister, since he was just a teen, Declan had to settle for being placed firmly in the friend zone. Best friend, sure, but a friend just the same. Now Kendall's about to get married. When it looks like he's lost her forever, he gets his chance. One night changed everything. But the next day changes his world again, and if he thought the pain of never having her was bad, losing her is much worse. He plans a road trip to nurse his broken heart. He never expected company but he won't let this chance get away.

This is a brother's best friend, friends to lovers, age gap, Rockstar romance. Something for everyone. It's formulaic, and while enjoyable, won't stand out in my memory as a top read. I had not read the previous Love & Lyrics books, which was not an issue. The books stand on their own and the characters are each introduced with enough backstory, you are never left confused. Declan was the star of the story for me. Sexy, thoughtful. sweet, and charming. Kendall's vulnerabilities and insecurities were on full display and it was up to him to prove to her she was worthy of loving and being loved. The road trip was an excellent backdrop for the story—pure fun. The TVD storyline added to the entertainment. It's light angst and a good escape for the afternoon.

Tried and true narrators Sarah Puckett and Teddy Hamilton voiced the characters. Both delivered the flawless performances we have grown accustomed to. I especially loved Teddy as Declan. He captured every aspect of his personality.

Book 3 - Love and Lyrics

This is book 3 in Ash's Love and Lyrics series and while it can be read / listened as a standalone, there are repeat characters and previous situations that are referenced that will help if you've started from the beginning. You be carried away with these characters who captivate with their brokenness and realness. I love how Ash introduces these characters and we get to know them as this series progresses. Our main characters are Kendall and Declan. Kendall is a pop princess as well as one of Declan bandmates sisters and while Declan has been crushing on her since forever, she's always seemed out of his league and off limits. Kendall has been looking for love all her life but feels she's unworthy of it. Declan needs to prove not only is she worthy but he's the only man who can love her like she needs. I love their story and the ups and downs they encounter thru this book. Dual narration by Sarah Puckett and Teddy Hamilton is just wonderfully done. These two complement each other vocally so well and bring characters to life and make the storyline easy to follow. I can't wait for more since this book (as with the others) gives us a taste of what may come next - teasing us readers / listeners in the best way!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

A Total Mess

Total Chaos involves cheating and amnesia if you wanted to know. My biggest issue is with the narrative's handling of conflict. When it is convenient to further the romance, Ash typically will somehow add information that exonherates the actions of the main characters instead of showing the characters learn from their mistakes.

Best Chaos ever! ❤️

Kendall and Declan are both musicians and Kendall is Declan's best friend's sister. Declan has had feelings for Kendall for a long time, but Kendall has been in many relationships and always runs from them.  She is now engaged to be married very soon, but skips out of the wedding to take a road trip with Declan.  While on this trip she starts to fall for Declan, but Declan is trying to take it slow because he doesn’t want her to run from him.  Declan is so sweet and loving and really wants Kendall to be his forever.  They both have some emotional baggage to work through, Kendall more than Declan, but they are best friends and are great together.  This is a sexy story that you don’t to miss!  Narration was great, especially Teddy Hamilton as Declan.  Looking forward to Gage’s story next.

So enjoying this series! 💗

After having listened to Controlled Chaos and Silent Chaos i've been looking so forward to the next audiobook in this series! When i found out who'd be narrating this third installment it got me even more excited. I started listening and got right back into the Love & Lyrics world! I enjoyed this listen so very much!

Having listened to both Sarah Puckett and Teddy Hamilton many times before i was so happy when i found out these two were narrating Total Chaos! Both Sarah and Teddy pulled me in and had me hooked! I got so into this story. From the real to feels all the way to the heat and taking chances, Sarah and Teddy captured Kendall and Declan's journey perfectly! If you haven't listened to these two narrators, change that ASAP!

Kendall and Declan's journey pulled me in right from the get go! She's a singer and he's the bass guitarist for Raging Chaos. They've been in each other's lives for quite some time now since Declan best friends with Kendall's brother. The thing is though, Declan is in love with Kendall. A moment can change everything, can it lead their hearts on a journey where they were always meant to be, with each other?

I really liked how quickly Kendall and Declan had my undivided attention with this listen and how they'd been in each other's lives for years. I didn't know how they'd tackle their feelings and things in their lives which got me even more into this listen. I loved how i related to both Kendall and Declan throughout. These two showed such realness that got to me. Kendall and Declan had undeniable chemistry and they sure brought the feels!

It was awesome being back in the Love & Lyrics world again with this listen!

With Total Chaos, Ms.Ash has created a great read that had me not wanting to put down my earbuds and made me feel so much! From the story to the narration, this was such a wonderful listen that got into my heart! I am so looking forward to diving back into this series with the fourth audiobook, Bleeding Chaos! 💗

sweet story

Just to start I really enjoyed listening to this book the people that told the story were phenomenal. Into this book I really like declan a whole lot in the book he was my favorite part. It was a great story to tell I loved it it was about singers and learning how to live their lives. I'm more frustrated over the book only because I felt like they said the same things over and over again and Made the book longer than what it needed to be. Declan was just too good of a person in this book and I just you fall in love with him. I definitely want to hear gage's story and I believe that's the next book that is coming out. So I cannot wait to hear How that story goes.

My fave in the series so far

This friends to lovers, rockstar romance by Nikki Ash is my fave in the series so far. Each book keeps getting better and better but what really did it for me was Sarah Puckett and Teddy Hamilton’s performance. They took Declan and Kendall’s characters and kept me engaged throughout the whole audio. I felt their emotions through the narration and I swooned so hard. This is another great one, I highly recommend.
