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 readers. 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.

Spoiler-free Review
Bleeding Chaos by Nikki Ash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bleeding Chaos (Love and Lyrics) by Nikki Ash is the fourth book in this unputdownable rock romance series. I couldn't wait for Gages' book. He was always in the background, literally, as the Raging Chaos drummer that was tragically sad, and lost on drugs. He meets Sadie, whose own heart is horrendously broken. The two fall into a relationship to drown out their respective pain. Gage went into self-destruction mode, falling into a downward spiral of depression and drug abuse, causing him to decimate his relationship with Sadie. The two lost souls find themselves on a second-chance collision course, if they can navigate through their pain. Can they heal from their heartbreaking pasts and get a much-deserved HEA?

I LOVED EVERY BOOK in this rock romance series. This heartfelt and emotion-packed story is not to be missed. You can read this Bleeding Chaos as a standalone, but I recommend reading the entire series to understand the bands' dynamics. This series is a total binge read.
