Rewind by Rowan Shaw is a brilliant example of a MM romance story. This is a heartwarming and romantic story with characters that you can’t help but love. Florian and Enzo have each had their share of misery and right away you know you want them to find happiness. And if that can be with each other then even better! This story has been well written. It flows really well and keeps pace from start to finish. This is the first book I have read by this author and I enjoyed the way she developed the story and the characters. This was a great book and one I enjoyed.
Although not a genre I normally pick up I was astounded to find out this is the author’s first novel. The storyline moved seamlessly and the characters were extremely well written and well developed. Truly a story of resilience and love.
Rewind is the debut novel by Rowan Shaw. This M/M romance was something a little different then I have read before. Rowan’s writing was so truthful and emotional that I wanted to fight alongside these characters.
We all know there are still people in the world that don’t understand the LGBT community or the hearing imparted but they need to learn to shut their mouths about things they don’t understand. But this book is more than that, it about LOVE. LOVE is LOVE no matter what or who you are. Love is also more than hearing or being deaf.
Florian and Enzo are two men looking for a second chance at love and this was a beautiful journey of that love. It broke my heart to read what happened to this couple while they were still in High School. And how their own family treated them, is something no children should have to go through. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
Rewind by Rowan Shaw is the first book in the Rewind series. This is a wonderful story of two men reconnecting. Enzo is deaf but has not let this get in his way. He is a strong man who has had his heart broken. Florian had his life under control until he has his life torn apart by love. The characters are well written. I liked despite challenges the men are strong but not to the point of being unbearable. The story is good also. I wanted the best for both Enzo and Florian. The story of a second chance at love and how we all deserve the chance is good. The secondary characters were interesting and were a nice complement to the main characters. They helped the main characters to tell the story but did not take away from them. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Rewind by Rowan Shaw is a MM second chance romance and is an amazing story. It is a beautiful journey and the characters are written with depth and are so endearing. It is a very emotional story and switches between the past and the present and a coming together again after a failed relationship many years ago. Rowan’s writing paints a picture that is easily imaginable and shows raw and vulnerable feelings from being two young men just being in love. It shows the darker side of people who are homophobic and what they are capable of, which always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. It is also a tale that has a sense of humour and witty remarks. Rowan has done a wonderful job in this story and I look forward to what may come next.
This is a must read second chance story. I found this story to be creative, engaging and I didn’t put it down until the last page. This author has created a story with characters that made me feel as if I was part of the story. The characters are connectable and true to life. Enzo was as tough as can be until his love shattered his heart. Then a second chance with Florian pops up. What does fate have in store for them? Is there a HEA in the future or are they doomed from the start? Find out!
The story REWIND by Rowan Shaw is a wonderful M/M romance book that I loved reading. It is a story that will hook you in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put down until I had finished the last page. It is a romantic book that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I enjoyed that the story was set in France. It also has two main characters that I grew to care about with each chapter that I read. I loved reading about Enzo Chevalier and Florian Beaudry. You can’t help but want them to find happiness. The story has both heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I couldn’t help but find myself angry and upset with the actions taken by some of the characters. Other characters that are introduced are protective and care about Enzo and Florian. This is a book that has some steamy scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. Are Enzo and Florian getting a second chance? This is a story that I would highly recommend reading.

The day Enzo Chevalier lost his hearing, everything changed. Forced to rebuild his future and fight for his dreams, Enzo refused to let anything take him down…until the man of his life walked out on him and shattered his heart.
Florian Beaudry had his whole life figured out. His business was flourishing and everything was settling down at last. Or so he believed…until he walked in on his girlfriend and best friend.
Still on the rebound and unable to trust another man, Enzo never expected a chance encounter with Florian. The one person he thought he would never see again. The one person he missed the most.
Were they truly meant to get a second chance or were they doomed from the start?
