Love in Rewind by Tali Alexander
5.0
4 1/2 stars
Love in Rewind: The Complete Series is 3 full length books: Love in Rewind, Lies in Rewind and Lost in Rewind
Love in Rewind is Emily's Story. Emily and her best friend Sara have been friends since they were little and they communicate all the major events in their lives using 80's song titles and lyrics. Emily is the more prudish of the two, Sara the more outgoing and flirty yet they get along with each other and have each others backs.
Emily is an 18 year high school student who comes across an older man, Louis, as she is helping waitress an event her sister's company is catering. Emily immediately falls for this guy whom she later finds out is the "King of NY". He actually owns the company that hires Emily's sister's catering company. He too is completely taken with this girl who worked his event and he is doing whatever he can to get close to her.
I think out of all 3 books this one was my favorite. There was real raw, intense passion between the two of them. Louis was my favorite type of book boyfriend...dirty talking, completely intense, yet utterly devoted to Emily. Maybe my only part I didn't like was there was quite a bit of miscommunication and that is not really my favorite way to invoke angst, but it was a great book nonetheless
Lies in Rewind is Sara's book. Holy heck you get to learn a lot about Sara that you never knew from Love and as the title says it is Lies in Rewind so guess what it's about. Sara's book it a bit of an emotional roller coaster with lot's of sexual frustration and it will break your heart a bit as well. I kind of feel like there isn't much I can say without giving a lot a way.
Lost in Rewind is Jeff's story and to be honest I wasn't a fan of Jeff and I was like really how am I going to like the book of Jeff. Well that is where a really good author and story teller can really get you. They can make you pretty much hate a character in one book and have you rooting for them in another. That's exactly what Tali Alexander did here. This was much more a story of fate and pre-destiny. It was really really very interesting and oddly completely different from the other two. You will really get to see who Jeff really is and what his life and his motive really were.
In both books 2 and 3 I did a good deal of crying. Not gonna lie, I hate crying. I kind of avoid books that will make me cry. But that doesn't mean these weren't great books, just be prepared if you have a soft heart to have a kleenex or two handy.
My only negative in all books was there is a lot and I mean a lot of internal dialog. I am a bit more of a fan of external dialog, but again that is just a personal preference on my part. These are very well written books and the story lines are different from your usual so I think a lot of people will enjoy reading this box set.
Even though each book is about a different character they must be read in order to make any sense.
