Syncopation

Written by Anna Zabo

Narrated by Greg Boudreaux

There's no resisting the thrum of temptation in this male/male rock-star romance from genre-favorite author Anna Zabo!

Twisted Wishes front man Ray Van Zeller is in one hell of a tight spot. After a heated confrontation with his bandmate goes viral, Ray is hit with a PR nightmare the fledgling band so doesn't need. But his problems only multiply when they snag a talented new drummer-insufferably sexy Zavier Demos, the high school crush Ray barely survived.

Zavier's kept a casual eye on Twisted Wishes for years, and lately, he likes what he sees. What he doesn't like is how out of control Ray seems-something Zavier's aching to correct after their first pulse-pounding encounter. If Ray's up for the challenge.

Despite the prospect of a glorious sexual encore, Ray is reluctant to trust Zavier with his band-or his heart. And Zavier has always had big dreams; this gig was supposed to be temporary. But touring together has opened their eyes to new passions and new possibilities, making them rethink their commitments, both to the band and to each other.

Contains mature themes.

This is phenomenal, both the book and the soulful narration. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to listen to the rest of the series.

This was all around not very good for me. It handled interesting topics like aromanticism (I don't know weather Mx. Zabo is own voices for this, but based on an aro review, it seems to read true) and BDSM (I very much enjoyed how consent heavy the BDSM side was).

Other than that, I found the writing pretty mediocre, the characters unbelievable and overdone, the plot had promise but kind of fell flat (Carl ended up feeling like a villain for the sake of being a villain, without any believable motivation other than what the author came up with by the end, whichs felt forced).

I'll also admit to skimming parts of this books, which is not something I often do, but I just couldn't force myself to pay attention to text that didn't really seem to have any value either by its own merits or for the sake of the story.

Probably won't be reading anything else from this author anytime soon.

Also! That cover is awful.
