De: Mila Crawford

Narrado por: Samantha Brentmoor, Jaclyn Kelso, J.F. Harding, Teddy Hamilton

Ten years ago, I lived in a trailer park. Today, I live in a multi-million dollar luxury condo.

Back then, I had nothing. Now, I manage the biggest rock band in the world.

My life is perfect… until she comes back.

Piper Hughes, the girl who knows my darkest secrets and greatest fears.

The only person with the power to shatter my defenses and rip away the curtain of my carefully crafted world, exposing who I truly am…

So so good!!!

Just finished the audiobook of this and let me tell you I love Samantha Brentmoor more and more with every book I listen to. This was my first time listening to Jacklyn Kelso and I thoroughly enjoyed her! Who also doesn’t love some extra narration by JF Harding and Teddy Hamilton?!?!

This is a fast spaced spicy FF story. I love the way the two came back together after all those years. They needed the time apart to grow and figure out who they were as individuals. But I think it took coming back together to really find themselves.

A dark sapphic rockstar romance

🎧⭐️ALC Review⭐️🎧
Overall Thoughts: Whenever I finish an audiobook by Mila, I have a million thoughts spinning out of control trying to process everything I just listened to. I don’t know how she manages to squeeze that amount of everything into her books, but especially this one which was only 2.5 hours long. I blew through it, and was elated with the ending, but disappointed it was over. Sapphic novels are a subgenre I was unknowingly obsessed with, and this one takes the cake. Piper and Kaye’s relationship is one that is relatable, heartbreaking, and tumultuous while evolving into something that makes you want to cheer for these characters. Sam is always amazing, but the way she was able to exude the emotion bottled up in Kaye was epic. Jaclyn is a long-time favorite who I need more of on the reg, and her performance as Piper was incredible. A must listen for all Mila fans.

NOTE: Your mental health is important. Please check the trigger and content warnings before listening.

Kaye does not have a happy homelife. Her alcoholic father finds ways to take his anger out on her whenever he wants. Even though Kaye has found an escape with Larkin, it isn’t an epic love story so much as they have a mutually beneficial relationship that doesn’t rock the boat.

Piper is dealing with having a secret crush on her twin brother’s girl. She has known she has been gay for a while but living in a house with overly religious parents who are determined to have her conform to their beliefs makes her more determined than ever to live life on her terms.

Jump forward a couple of years and Piper is the manager for Gutless Void who has a new opening act, Lifeless Lies, and the lead singer just happens to be none other than Piper. When they are thrust back in each other’s orbit, they try to hurt the other for things in their past, but the magnetism between these two is something they can’t ignore. Can they let the past go, so they can have a future they thought was lost a long time ago?

Such an immersive listen!

I had the pleasure of listening to this on audio and when I say do the audio I mean do the audio! Jacquelyn Kelso and Samantha Brentmoor absolutely killed this, the sound effects I literally felt like I was there experiencing the tension between Piper and Kaye in the same room.

I am so sucker for a good tension filled FF romance and this hit so hard. You have a secondchance after 10 years a part and they still can’t stay away from each other and showing glimpses into the past this was amazing. A quick an easy listen if you want to clean the house or hit them gym!

Kaye is in charge of the world’s biggest rock band, Gutless Void. For their upcoming tour, the executives have asked to feature some newer bands from the label as opening acts. Lifeless Lies has been chosen to perform as the opener. Kaye's main worry is her connection to the lead singer, Piper, whom she knows from her past; she previously dated Piper’s twin brother. Now, as her past resurfaces, she must decide whether to let her insecurities dictate her actions or to embrace her best life!

Sapphic Rockstar Deliciousness

Sapphic Rockstar Romance by Mila Crawford, yes fricken please!

Symphonic Synergy follows Kaye, the manager for Gutless Void and Piper, the lead singer for Lifeless Lies. It’s been 10 years since Kaye walked out of Piper’s life and now that Lifeless Lies is the opening act for Gutless Void the two are once again face to face and forced to face their past.

I ate this one up! I mean it kicks off with a little somno action when Kaye wakes up to find Piper between her legs while Piper’s twin brother and Kaye’s boyfriend is asleep next to them. Holy hotness! The story wasn’t quite as dark as I am used to from Mila, but it had an emotional depth to it that I enjoyed plus all of the spice!

Symphonic Synergy is narrated in duet by Samantha Brentmoor and Jaclyn Kelso featuring J.F. Harding and Teddy Hamilton. This audio was phenomenal, the banter and chemistry between Piper and Kaye was brought to life perfectly by Samantha and Jaclyn. J.F. and Teddy were an added bonus making this a fantastic audio experience.

”𝒴𝑜𝓊’𝓇𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝑜 𝓇𝓊𝒾𝓃 𝓂𝑒, 𝒫𝒾𝓅𝑒𝓇 𝐻𝓊𝑔𝒽𝑒𝓈, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒢𝑜𝒹 𝒽𝑒𝓁𝓅 𝓂𝑒, 𝐼 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓉𝑜.”

As soon as we met Kaye in Rudimentary Distortion, I wanted to know more. She’s feisty and very protective of the ones she cares about. In this book we meet Piper, lead singer of Lifeless Lies who becomes the opening act for Gutless Void (the band Kaye manages). Piper is also Kaye’s ex boyfriend’s twin sister. It bounces back and forth between the past and present where you learn some of their past, including their family life, which both suck in different ways. But these two just fit together, the way they love each other is so beautiful. I really enjoyed their chemistry! The spicy scenes were amazing. I absolutely love how this audiobook was done. The narrators are perfect for their characters, they just bring these women to life. I also really appreciate the little details that are added like opening doors, someone talking behind a door sounding like it, and you can tell exactly which parts are flash backs.

Beautiful, heartfelt, and so hot!

Symphonic Synergy by Mila Crawford is a sapphic, second-chance rockstar romance and the second book in the Rhythm and Tempo series. This story is an emotionally charged narrative that explores transformation, redemption, and the power of reconnecting after years apart.

The story follows Kaye Cavendish, who has experienced a dramatic rise in life—from living in a trailer park to managing the biggest rock band in the world. Her carefully curated, successful life is upended when Piper Hughes, a significant figure from her past, suddenly returns. Piper, now a member of a very successful female rock band, is the only person who truly knows Kaye, including her secrets and vulnerabilities. When Kaye finds out Piper’s band will be the opening act for Gutless Void—the band she manages—their reunion triggers a journey filled with tension, emotional chaos, and unresolved feelings as both women struggle with their past and consider the possibility of a future together.

I loved this story that gives readers intimate access to Kaye and Piper’s inner worlds. The chemistry between the two is off the charts, and I enjoyed their heartfelt second chance. Samantha Brentmoor and Jaclyn Kelso did a wonderful job narrating these beautifully complex women.

Hot and wild

Blown away by this performance. Think I blushed a few times. Past is a pain but kinda worked out in the end for these two !

Fierce, dirty, beautifully broken love story

First and foremost, this is for mature audience only.

The audiobook is narrated in multicast duet by Samantha Brentmoor & Jacklyn Kelso (Featuring JF Harding & Teddy Hamilton)
Mila is a meticulous audiobook lover and she lets you know it by immersing you with all the sounds (sound of a concert, voices muffled when needed, doors closing, bottles clinging etc…).
That’s SO satisfying.

The chemistry between Kaye and Piper is explosive—sharp tongues, sharp edges, and sharp longing.
But it’s not just about the spice—there’s real heart here too. I’ve got all the messy emotions: the pain of what they lost, the anger over how it all went down, and this quiet, stubborn hope that maybe—just maybe—they can still get it right.

The sapphic romance is not my usual type of reading but I have to admit that I was completely into it.

One of the BEST audiobooks

Mila Crawford’s audiobooks are always absolutely amazing! Always a insta-buy for me whenever I see a new one released. But, this one is just next level and one of the BEST audiobooks I listened to in a loooooong time.
