He’s the only person who understands how this hurts.
His lyrics keep me from falling apart. And they pull me closer.
I’m falling for the man who’s plucking every one of my heartstrings.
I’m falling for Miles Webb. And I’m content to keep lusting after a stranger.
Until we meet.
And he wants me.
Rock star Miles Webb is offering to take my virginity.
Holy sh*t.
Sing for Me is a Sinful Serenade Prequel. This book begins before Sing Your Heart Out and contains some scenes from the first few chapters of Sing Your Heart Out from Miles's POV. It can be read before or after reading Sing Your Heart Out.
Crystal Kaswell is the author of the Sinful Serenade series. She writes steamy new adult romance with flawed characters. She loves police procedurals, tea, and The Hunger Games series. She lives in Portland, OR with her husband.
Meg Smart is having a hard time coming to terms with the OD of her older sister. She should have seen the signs but missed them some how & now Rosie is gone. Meg struggles with the pain & void she feels from her lose. When she finally hears a song on the radio by a new band Sinful Serenade she begin to believe that she is not the only person who has every felt this way. As she listen to the song No Pieces over & over again, she becomes caught up in the lyrics & starts to feel again. When the bands music video comes out for the song & she watches it & begins to fantasy about the lead singer Miles Webb. Miles is the typical rock star bad boy who wants to make music & get laid by as many women as possible. His painful & soulful singing has helped in that department a great deal. He uses his past pain to write his songs but he doesn't want to have to think or talk about any of it. When Meg happens to walk in on Miles having sex with a fangirl while at a party in the bands mansion, Miles takes notice. Later he flirts & teases her for walking in on him but soon realizes she is shy & innocent. He takes her home from the party because her friend is to drunk to drive & they talk most of the drive there. Miles is drawn to her because she isn't pawing all over him like all the other women do. A day or two later, they go to the movies & after, Miles lets Megs know that he wants to be her first & that he will make it memorable.
This is a heartfelt short prequel to Sing Your Heart Out (Sinful Serenade #1) & reveals the back story of where Meg & Miles were emotionally before they met. I am a fan of Crystal Kaswell's rock 'n roll romances & this one did not disappoint. It brought home the true meaning of how music can heal wounds when allowed to.... Brava Crystal. If you are a fan of the Sinful Serenade Series this is a MUST read. If your not, maybe you should be!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book.
While I haven't read any of the Sinful Serenade books (yet), I am DEFINITELY intrigued by all of the characters I met in this book, and there is someone for everyone!
This band includes the broken bad boy, the off-limits best friend, and the playboy. I can't wait to read all of their stories!
I liked the premise of this story. I think it's something we have all done at some point; identified with intense song lyrics and transferred emotions to the artist singing. This is what Meg did, and I am VERY interested to see her future interactions with Miles and how their story ends!
(I received a copy of this book in consideration of an honest review)
I'm not sure how I found this book many years after I had read the series. It's a good thing though because after reading this I'm not sure I would have continued on with the series. I was confused as to what had happened. Miles seems like a major asshole and Meg became obsessed with his song that it clouded her head into starting something with him. Over all this book didn't endear me to want to start this series, but sadly to late I already had.
Sing for Me, the prequel to Sing Your Heart Out, is the emotional, soulful tale of Miles and Meg's journey to trust, healing and love. It speaks to the devastation and destruction that drug addiction causes. If you are a fan of the Sinful Serenade series, it is a must read; if you haven't yet started to read this amazing series, Sing For Me will have you addicted!

I received and ARC in exchange for an honest review - thank you to Crystal Kaswell and Be My Book Boyfriend for the opportunity.
What a cool little prequel to Sing Your Heart Out. I haven't read any of the other books in this series but the author makes you feel as though you know these characters very early on, you feel comfortable with them. More importantly with everything that Meg is going through at the time of the story, it is intensely written, allowing you to feel her emotional heartache like a physical thing that pours out of the book. And, the idea that Miles might be able to understand that, to understand her, it makes you wish very hard for a happy ending for them, just even for the two of them to give this fledgling thing a chance. A very enjoyable read and good introduction to the series.
I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily wrote an honest review. As always, this was completely enjoyable as is everything about this series! Gave us a bit of a look at Meg and Miles and the things they were struggling with before they met. Really has me jonesing to do a re-read of the entire series! Way to go Crystal. Make me long for a re-read when I just don't have the time! No seriously, nice prequel.
It's a ten minute read. This is primarily from Miles POV. I'm treating this as a bonus read but it belongs to one of the other books in the series, for sure.
Sing for Me is a short prelude to the first book in The Sinful Serenade Series. It's a good appetiser which piqued my interest enough for me to want to know how the story develops.
Miles is the soulful lead singer of the Sinful Serenade band. He has the bad boy persona, but his songs speak of pain and loss.
Meg is a student who has just lost someone very close to her. She is striken with grief and is struggling to keep going.
Meg has lost interest with more or less everything she once enjoyed doing. Her loss is so great and painful that she just about manages to go through the motions. Music is one of her escapes and one song in particular speaks to her. She feels that the singer understands her grief and is singing to her. She doesn't know him, but somehow, she feels his pain through his lyrics.
Meg's best friend talks her into attending a party and it's her first step to reconnect to the real world. She isn't really enjoying the party and she accidently open the wrong door where she gets a full view of Miles ready for action!
Miles is intrigued by the shy Meg and when he spots her in the crowd, he can't resist talking to her. He realises that it's not an act and instead of pawing him like every other girl, she just stares and keeps her distance. He is more curious than ever and circumstances lead him to giving her a lift home. It's an awkward situation. Will he get the opportunity to see her again and discover the "real" Meg?
This prequel is very well portrayed and easy to read. The emotions are palpable and the end has left me wanting to read Meg's and Miles' story.
I was kindly issued with an eARC and the views expressed are my personal opinion.
Book 1 in a Musical series . Have it in Audio . Via IBooks Hero is Miles . Heroine is Meg . Loved how the author took 2 damaged souls and brought them together. Meg is a 21 yr old Virgin who lost her sister to drugs . Her sister gave out all the clues but Meg ignored them . Meg is at a party given by a rock group and she walks in while Miles is getting down and Dirty in his room , on all fours . Thing is Meg doesn't know him at the time . Meg froze shocked until Miles says something. She makes an excuse and Runs . During a drive home Miles makes a deal with her . The deal is he can make her body sing . Does she go for it
This is the prequel to a new series. Meg is swamped in grief at her sister’s tragic death, and is merely existing. When she hears Miles singing and listens to the lyrics, she feel that he knows exactly how she feels. When she is dragged to a Hollywood part by her bestie, the last thing she expects is to actually meet Miles and his band. These two souls are drawn to each other. This is a short and sweet read, yet it is intense and emotional. Crystal has done a great job in writing this storyline, and this is a perfect introduction to a new series. I cannot wait to read more from this author.
This is a prequel to Sing your heart out. We see the beginning of how Meg fell in love with Miles. Although she didn't meet him she fell in love with his words. Who thinks they will meet their rockstar crush. She is having trouble coming to terms with her sisters death. Miles' song helps her. I love this look back into how they met and how they had the instant connection. I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced copy of this manuscript.
"I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced copy of this manuscript" Oh my god!!!!!! "Sing For Me" is the prequel of Meg and Miles' story, but works like a phenomenal "mise en bouche".... A little sad, witty, super sweet and an announcing taste of the heat factor will completely hook you and make you desperate for the real thing! I know that i just can't wait to read "Sing Your Heart Out" anymore... Two Thumbs Up With Blazing Lighters On!!!!!!
Sing For Me, Sinful Serenade book .5 by Crystal Kaswell. Well I just finished reading Sing your Heart Out and I found this prequel in my TBR books. So I had to read it right away. It was nice to hear what Miles was thinking. This was a quick short story, but it would definitely get you in the mood to read the next story! Even though I read them in reverse I still enjoyed them both.
Enjoy this novella of how Miles and Meg meet. With Miles a successful rockstar, was their attraction instant? I enjoyed finding out the story of their beginning. This is a great prequel to Miles and Meg's story which is the book Sing Your Heart Out.
3* Megara has feels lost after loosing her sister music helps her survive. Miles feels used he sings but feels nobody hears him. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book Introduction book for sing your heart out. Short read
I loved this story! it tells alot of the struggle and anguish that make Meg and Miles into the people they are now! very emotional and heart wrenching but raw and grips you until you just have to read more to know how they turn out! awesome book!
I loved Meg and Miles. I've read all of these stories and have loved them all. Getting to see a little of Miles POV was nice. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced copy of this manuscript. I read this prequel well after the whole series, but I liked it the same. I think this is the perfect prequel to Miles and Meg story and it is helpful to better understand the male character. Both Meg and Miles will be largely developed in the first chapter of the series.
A sad poignant prequel to the Sinful Serenade series. I had the amazing fortune of reading this prior to reading the rest of the series. So in a sense, I really did start at the beginning.
As with all of Ms Kaswell's books, this is well written, smart and engaging. It actually made me run out...??? to download the full Sinful Serenade series which I have enjoyed immensely! The characters are so well developed. They truly come across as real...and you can't help but love them! Which of course, leads you to reading Kaswell's other works!
Sing for Me is the prequel to Sing Your Heart Out (Sinful Serenade #1). It gives us the story of Meg and Miles before they met, with a history of their emotional pain. This is a must read, and it also struck a personal chord with me (pardon the pun) to show how music really can heal the soul. It was awesome that Miles couldn't get Meg to pay him the adoring fangirl attention he was used to, and how it took him down a notch until he changed for the better. Steamy, intense, and beautiful, for such a short read. I love Crystal Kaswell's books, and this book was just as good, albeit so short I wanted more! I would highly recommend this book, as well as the rest of the Sinful Serenade series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
A great prequel to Miles and Megs story. Although sad you can feel though this book that the song Miles writes are from his heart and Meg can feel it. Can't wait to read the rest of the series to see what happens between Miles and Meg.

I read SING YOUR HEART OUT, so I was delighted to get a chance to read SING FOR ME. It's a wonderful prequel that helps us understand Meg's mindset, her introduction to Miles and Sinful Serenade's music and--most important for me--we get Mile's viewpoint to better understand him at the beginning of the book. I really loved that part of it, because Miles was something of an enigma.
I hope that Ms Kaswell does this for the other Sinful Serenade books, because I love the whole series. This was a great addition to the collection!

The story continues in " Sing your Heart out ". 4 Stars and Thank you Crystal Kaswell.
What the actual hell?! I thought this was a complete novella, not merely a teaser for something to come! I mean, to be fair, I do want to read the rest of the books in this series, but this novella isn't even related to the first book! Talk about frustrating.
This story wasn't anything to write home about. Actually it was pretty weak. However, I'm still keen to read more about this couple, and get started on this series. It's been far too long since I've read a good Rock Star romance.
Hurray, Meg and Miles are back! I was so happy when I got this book to read because I loved all the Sinful Serenade stories. I was thrilled to be able to read another story when I thought they were all done. This story is just as good as all the others. Meg and Miles are back and I know you will love their story too. I would highly recommend this wonderful book to everyone, you will not be disappointed.
