Code Red

By: N.R. Walker

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo

Maddox Kershaw is the main vocalist of the world’s biggest boy band. He’s at the top of every music chart, every award show, every social media platform, and every sexiest-man-alive list. He’s the bad boy, the enigma, the man everyone on the planet wants a piece of.

He’s also burned out and exhausted, isolated and lonely. Not in a good headspace at the start of a tour.

Roscoe Hall is Maddox’s personal manager. His job is high-flying, high-demand, high-profile, and he loves it. Maddox has consumed his entire life for the past four years. Roscoe knows him. He sees the real Maddox no one else gets to see.

He’s also in love with him.

When the tour and stress become too much, when the world begins to close in, Roscoe becomes Maddox’s lifeline. But as Maddox knows already, and as Roscoe is about to learn, the brighter the spotlight, the darker the shadow.

Reading this book is a Code Red!

Wonderful characters that were not petty or overly dramatic! They were real, struggled, laughed, loved and supported each other. The author showed the downside of fame- the suffocation/isolation that can occur. Even with the anxiety and isolation the band remained grateful and loyal to their fans and each other. If you like books about friendships, love and living the life of a rock star then this book is for you.

Nick J. Russo brought the characters to life. It was easy to understand who was speaking and just get lost in the story. Fantastic job!

I hope Walker comes out with another book in this series following some of the other band members. I want more! ❤️

Not a romance story

I love N.R. Walker. Specially red heart. However, the romance for this one was not very good. Instead of the central attention being the couple, the central attention was given to mental health. I really liked the book, dealing about the repercussions of burn out and mental health issues. As a mental health book, this is great. As for Maddox and Rosco, I saw no romance. I saw a caregiver, and someone needing that person. But there was no romance development because the center was all Maddox, which would be ok if the couple was already established, which in this case it was not. So, I am a little disappointed because I wanted a romance.

Phenomenal

Loved this book so hard!!!! This is my first read (listen in this case) by N.R. Walker although I have several of her books in my library. Her writing style is so so good. Her fantastic dialog exposed the characters immediately and pulled me right into the story. They were real and endearing. I love a good rock star romance and this was one of the best! I love Nick J Russo as an audio performer and he is almost an instant click...so it is always fantastic when he narrates and even better when the book matches his level of expertise! In this case it was a perfect collaboration! I will be reading everything I can get my hands on by N.R. Walker and have already purchased Code Blue in Kindle and am anxiously waiting for the audio to be released! Don't hesitate to purchase this audio book!

Really enjoyed this one

In the classic NR Walker style, this was a great romance and an enjoyable read. I liked how this novel felt heartier to me somehow then maybe her past books have, but I did miss the back and forth style she has used in the past. Would have loved to hear more from the other main character’s perspective but still really enjoyable.

LOVED IT

THIS AUDIOBOOK WAS REALLY GOOD. I LOVE THE BAND. MADDOX AND ROSCOE ARE SO GOOD TOGETHER. I LOVE NICK RUSSO VOICE NARRATING THIS BOOK.
