RELEASE (REWIND Series) by Rowan Shaw – Review by Carrie Reed

Release (Rewind #5)Release by Rowan Shaw
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It is so nice to catch up with all the characters from the Rewind series, like a “where are they now” update. My heart aches so much for Adrien and his sister Celeste, their mother is really something, and Adrien struggles so much especially when forced to see her face to face. On the other hand it breaks me that Raphael is struggling emotionally with Adrien and Raphael wanting things Adrien doesn’t. Their brief relationship with Mallory and Eleanor is hot! Enzo is still self conscious about Florian’s relationship with Raphael but, anyone can see how in love Florian is with Enzo. Florian’s mom is a real piece of work as well trying to pull the grandparent card to see Maelis. The rights grandparents have in France are so different than what I grew up with so, I was happy to see Florian gathering all the evidence needed to make sure she does not win. Noah, Yohan and Charlotte still seem to be in a beautiful place together and thriving with their little family. In the end I am happy to see everything working out, not as I expected but, I am satisfied with how everyone’s relationships turned out.

Refrain (Off the Record Book 3) by Madelynne Ellis – Review by Barbara Bohls

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW, is all I can say. This book took me through it. It has drama, trauma, romance, steam, friendships, sizzle, and a great plot. The inner turmoil that the main character has, is the center for the book. How he reacts to everything being brought to light about his past and the way he deals with it, is what keeps you turning pages. I couldn’t put the book down. It is the 3 book in the series and there is even a prequel to this series. It would be helpful to read the other books first if you really want an understanding of everything. However, it is not necessarily needed and you will find yourself wanting to read the other books in the series after this if you haven’t already. The books builds and builds and you will get lost in the feelings of the characters. My mood even shifted while reading this book. So be advised that you might need to take a time out from other people while reading this. You won’t want to be disturbed. I can’t give this book high enough praises by the way it handled certain situations and the feelings that it provokes within you. You won’t be disappointed with this book.
