*****CONTAINS SLIGHT SPOILERS*****
If you are a detailed orientated person than this book is going to rub you the wrong way even though it is very readable.I'm unsure I understand the author's desire to tarnish the image of the hero 70% into the final chapter of a 2 part series.You would expect the couple to be reasonably secure.The act itself committed by the hero is nonsensical unless the author is trying to prove he cannot get hard for another woman now that he is in love.He did not even resurrect his escort person Mr Ashley to do the deed.
This is what I don't understand,you see the woman that you love being kissed by another man & you decide screw her I'm going to meet up with a former sex client,cheat & screw my brains out for the night.Yep good thinking,so he kisses his former fuckbuddy,who than attempts to arouse him with her mouth & he has limp dick & feels nauseous so he leaves.
Now he was fucking clients left right & center in the previous book while seducing the heroine.I understood it was his job & he used his alter ego Mr Ashley to perform.Upon learning this secret,his intended love did not go out seeking revenge sex.Here he just saw a kiss & bam off he rides.Maybe women in literature are configured differently than men.
But the most annoying factor is unless I missed it while reading is:
IF YOUR MAN IS A FORMER SEX WORKER,WOULD YOU NOT ERASE HIS CONTACTS DESTROY HIS PHONE NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRUST HIM.
Not this heroine.She leaves him with a candy store of delights on his device.I wonder why the author did not address that?
The book is saved by the inclusion of another hot couple & everyone gets a happy ending.

I finished Rewritten and my god I loved it . Loved how the story begins were it end in the last book.But charlie and Allison still faced many challenges ahead of them. But when you are willing to work thru your problems as a couple nothing can face you and love can conquer all. This story had me wondering from the beginning what was going to happen will they survive this or not?.Oh it was kinda like a rollercoaster for me ..The fact some of the characters had their own pov was amazeballs and I enjoyed it so much..
Yeap definitely loved the book ..

Sometimes it was just too blunt for my taste. I liked that there where different POV's and not only of the main characters but sometimes I thought that some information didn't need to be mentioned.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
If you have not read the first book, Unwritten, do not read any further! You should read that one first!
Rewritten is a continuation of Charlie and Allison's story. It picks up right where Unwritten's major cliffhanger left off, as well as giving us a slight off-shoot and branching out with the addition of Paul (Charlie's friend) and Nichole's (Allison's sister) tale.
Once more, we're given a story with some super hot smut and possibly my favorite part, which is the musical playlist and references, throughout the story. Music really does set the tone of the story and the way Lauren connects the music with the scenes is masterful.
The ending felt a little rushed, which could be my own bias showing because I wasn't quite ready for the story to be over yet...

**Warning: My review contains a few spoilers**
This is the conclusion of Allison and Charlie's story. We left off with Charlie and Allison enjoying their time in the most romantic city in the World. Their time was cut short when Charlie got an unexpected call from his former madam.(Allison's mom) The woman who kidnapped Allison, and ended up getting shot is brain dead, and pregnant. Charlie was crushed and worried. He didn't want to lose Allison. He jumped on a plane back to The U.S. to figure out what's going on.
Hot sex. Great Story!

4 1/2 stars!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
If you haven't read the first book, Unwritten, do not ready any further! You must read that first!
This book picks up right where the first one left off. Charlie has left Allison in Paris to go deal with the situation at home. He has a big decision to make and he is torn. He wants to make the right choice, but is afraid of losing Allison.
Charlie and Allison's road to happiness is a bumpy one, but I never once doubted their love for one another. They may have had an unconventional start to their relationship, but I think that resulted in them having a very strong foundation. A foundation that allowed them to get through every obstacle they faced in this book.
There is a secondary story in the book that involves Allison's sister Nichole and Charlie's friend Paul. I LOVED it. They start out having a one night stand that turns into so much more. Nichole is hesitant to get into a relationship, but Paul is all about it. He even does what I consider to be some fantastic wooing to try to convince her. And it is wonderful. I love an author is able to write a secondary story that will keep my attention just as much as the main story.
The author has given us a very satisfying follow up to Unwritten. Loose ends are tied up and there are even a few surprises along the way. Charlie and Allison are probably more in love (if that's even possible) than they were in the first book. And they are still bringing the sexy, just like in the first book. The addition of Nichole and Paul was just a bonus.

He sits down, exasperated, looking away from me, “I don’t know. I keep having these dreams.”
“Yeah, about what?”
“About you. About the baby. About my parents.”
“And…?”
“Allison, I need to know I won’t lose you.”
“Charlie,” I take a deep breath, trying not to go there again, “tell me about the dreams.”
He sits forward, staring blankly at the wall, “The first one was crazy. I was on one of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge. I just remember being terrified because I was so high up and it was so foggy, I couldn’t see anything to get down. Then, all of the sudden, I was securely on the ground and my parents walked up, holding a baby and I had this feeling like I knew everything was going to be ok.”
I look at him, trying to hide the anxiety I feel about his dream and the entire situation. “Did they say anything?”
“Yes,” he looks down, still not able to look me in the eye as he talks about his dream. “They asked if I wanted to meet my son. They said his name was Lyric.”
I inhale sharply at the sound of the baby’s name but don’t dare say a word.
“Then the other dream was of you and a little boy. You were reading to him, sitting on a porch swing at a house in the country. You called the little boy Lyric as well and he called you Mommy.”
He looks at me and I can tell it’s more to gauge my reaction from the Mommy comment rather than to see if I have something to say in response.
I look down as tears fill my eyes that I can’t fight back.
Charlie reaches his arms around me, “Please don’t cry, Allison. I’m so sorry. What can I do? I need to make this all ok.”
“Charlie, you need to decide what you want.”

5 Stars Are NOT Enough For This Book!!!!!!!
TOP FAVORITE BOOK ALERT!!
TOP FAVORITE BOOK ALERT!!
I REPEAT
TOP FAVORITE BOOK ALERT!!
The words of Paul perfectly sum up this one for me!
So. Fucking. Good. My. God.
and
Oh. Fuck. Yes.
I may be late to the Unwritten/Rewritten party but I am soooo calling dibs on PAUL!!! He's mine!
Oh my every loving gaaaaaaaaawd!!!! What did I just devour, mere hours after finishing the first book!? I'm at a loss for words right now. I'm actually sitting here in tears!! This book! GAH!!! Nothing short of freaking perfection. Awe, sheer awe. I'm not even sure I've begun to digest what I've just read.
Whereas the first book was overwhelmingly abundant with angst and suspense, Rewritten picks right up where Unwritten left off and all that comes to mind right now is LOVE! Lots and lots of love. I'm having a gd lovefest with a book and it's characters at 4:13am. Raw, heartfelt adoration. I'm sure nothing I'm writing makes sense but I have to get it out!!!
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK!!!!
Over the moon!
How did things get so fucked up? Why did this have to happen now? Am I really just destined to have a shitty life?
Ohh, there's still lots of drama and plot twists out the wazoo but everything just comes full circle and somehow works itself out. It was most definitely a roller-coaster ride, filled with ups and downs. Everything had a purpose and F me, I still can't wrap my head around it all. It's clear to see that Lauren poured her heart and soul into this book! The complex and intricately woven story line continues with the addition of new characters and subplot. The alternating POV of every character just added MORE to the story. More substance, more love, hilarious banter, MORE, MORE, MORE and yes, MORE SEX!! This is one of the most original and unique story lines I've read as of late. Sure, some things were a bit predictable but others completely blindsided me.
There is no need to say anything. I can see everything that needs to be said with the dark passion that had taken over his beautiful blue eyes.
Death.
New Life.
Forgiveness.
New Beginnings.
This book is just so full of hope...and love. Love *dreamy sigh*
"I'm in love with you in love with me."
And in the ever fitting words of my Paul: "I can't wait to blow my wod.." all over Lauren's next book! *wink*

Rewritten is the conclusion of the 2 book series, so first enjoy reading Unwritten the 1st book. At the ending of Unwritten, Charlie Ashley is madly in love with Allison Hayes, but will his love be strong enough to overcome all the drama and turmoil that both of their lives have become. Allison thought that she had found the man of her dreams, but events just seem to keep piling on with new challenges.
Fate seems to be the theme of their love story, with everything happening for a reason. Even if they believe everything happens for a reason, they can't help but wish they knew what the reason was. There are so many twist and turns plus surprises for this couple you can't help but wonder if they will ever have the Happily Ever After they both want so badly.
The secondary characters being Nichole, who is Allison's sister, and Paul who is Charlie's good friend, burn up the pages with their rapid and steaming hot relationship. Fate also seems to have thrown them together as part of the story.
“I don't know what I'm saying, but I feel that you know the answer in your heart. I've always been a firm believer in that everything happens for a reason and that there are signs everywhere. And these dreams, they are your signs. If we're meant to be together, then we will be. If we're meant to be each others forever, then we will be.”
There are decisions to be made, relationships to mend and futures to be told all with one question; is their love strong enough to be rewritten. “Charlie laughs before kissing me again like he never wants to let me go. I've never been so happy and I feel like I never want to let him go either.”
Highly recommend and enjoyed both books in the series.

After having read Unwritten, the first book, I was incredibly excited to read the final book in this series! I enjoyed
Unwritten but Rewritten was a sensational story that I found hard to put down. The author has knocked this book out
of the ballpark, if you get what I mean! Lauren has done an outstanding job with Charlie and Allison's story so much
so that you cannot help but feel emotions the same as the characters feel! Charlie and Allison both have to overcome
some things but their love for each other is incredibly strong! Oh Charlie, I certainly felt for him, his need to protect his
better half and trying to handle things the best way he could, I just love him to bits! Each relationship is not without
some sort of drama and if you recall the ending of Unwritten then I don't need to tell you how sensitive their situation
is! Allison is a brave girl, seeking advice from her friend Sonia, even her sister Nichole, just shows talking about your
fears can help ease the stress you are feeling inside! I loved the way Nichole and Paul are introduced to each other!
Paul is Charlie's friend and needless to say what happens there is entertaining too! I loved the whole book, the
direction the story took with some suspense, the ending too! A really wonderful story and I certainly hope that
sometime in the future we hear about them again! I certainly cannot wait to see what Lauren writes next! I think She
should also be incredibly proud of this series! Add both books to your TBR list or you are really missing out!

***THIS BOOK WAS GIVEN TO ME IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW***
***Contains graphic sex and language. Not for young readers***
***Cassandra Delorie #NerdGirlLola’s Review***
This is the second part of the Unwritten saga and should be read on order.
I am completely blown away at the conclusion of this story; it really hits you in the feels. I didn’t think the circumstances surrounding the turmoil of Charlie and Allison’s relationship could get any worse, but man was I wrong. Their love is really put to the test in this book.
The emotions are much more heightened in this installment. I spent most of the book on the verge of tears wondering what would happen next. With enough twists to qualify as an emotional rollercoaster this book brings the reader to the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows.
This book is written from multiple points of view that at first I didn’t quite understand but as I continued on the reasons became abundantly clear. I really liked getting in the character’s heads and seeing how each character dealt with all the different situations that happened throughout the book.
Over all this is an excellent read and would recommend both books to anyone over the age of 18.

Rewritten is the second book in the Unwritten Series by Lauren Runow. You need to read Unwritten to completely understand the storyline, as this one picks up where Unwritten left us. Charlie is on his way back to the states leaving Allison in Paris to finish her internship. Charlie has decisions to make and hopefully not lose Allison in the process.
Along the way Ms. Runow introduces us to a new characters and lets us get to know Nichole (Allison's sister better), and we get to meet Charlies best friend Paul - the sparks fly between Nichole and Paul - both think they want nothing to with relationships until they find themselves in one. They added some needed humor and lightness to what could have been a sad story.
The characters are strong and the story line is tight - I did get a bit aggrevated at Charlie and Allison a few times, I wanted to shake both of them a few times. However, the story is lovely and it will make you laugh and cry, and perhaps believe in happily ever after.
If you are in the mood for a wonderfully written series, full of laughter, tears, and hot hot sex. I highly recommend the series in order.

Rewritten. I was given the honour by this amazing author to read Rewritten, so of course I had to write my honest review. Rewritten is a continuation of Lauren's first novel Unwritten which was an astounding beginning to her two part series. This novel is the rest of Charlie and Allison's story as both individuals and a couple. Reading this showed me that everything does happen for a reason, as Allison pointed out. Charlie was meant to find Allison and live the life he wished he had with the woman who was there from the beginning and the one who loved him unconditionally. I was able to watch Charlie progress into a man who put Allison first. He did figure out his priorities and did what was best for not only him, but also the love of his life. It was beautiful watching him transition from an immature, male escort to an honest, loving man. Allison. She was strong and so persistent when it came to fighting for her happily ever after. She had been dealt an excruciating card for her love life but her belief had led to her having Charlie in her life, a family who made up for their mistakes and a love of her own. This journey was about having friends who had your best interests at heart, families who supported you no matter what and obtaining a love you never thought you would have. Glorious job, Lauren. I didn't think you could top Unwritten but you did. Truly astounding.

Charlie is faced with a very difficult decision and Allison doesn’t want to influence his ultimate choice. She is struggling to face the reality that Charlie will have a child from another woman, can she love the baby like her own? As strong as their love is for each other, this is still a difficult choice to make. As they work on strengthening their relationship, more secrets are revealed about Allison’s family that were totally surprising to me. At the same time, Nichole, Allison’s sister whose sworn off love, meets Charlie’s friend Paul which just might lead to her salvation. Can Nichole find love too? While all this is happening, Detective O’Brien is trying to unravel what really happened to Jacqueline as she sits in a coma, pregnant. Will Charlie get his happily ever after? I enjoyed how this story didn’t just focus on Charlie and Allison, we get to experience the important people around them who also have issues with love work towards their HEA which Charlie and Allison wait for the birth of his baby. This adds a level of depth I didn’t expect because Nichole’s behaviors so impact how Allison sees the world along with what her parents say & do. We also get to spend time in Charlie’s hometown with the people he calls family. Through all of this, Charlie needs to find himself and what he wants to do with his future now that he’s shut the door on his past career.

Lauren has done it again!! I was lucky enough to receive an ARC, and once I started, I couldn't put it down. I finished in one sitting. Charlie and Allison, once again, have to fight for their love and prove to each other how much they mean to one another. It seems like they can't catch a break, and every time I thought they were going to be ok, another twist came into their story. PLUS, not only do we get Charlie, we get Paul also! Two book boyfriends in one book? Yes, please!! Paul is a sexy, funny and tattooed "bad boy". Allison's sister, Nichole, is they typical single model. She is gorgeous, smart and not wanting to settle down. Yet, Paul and Nichole seem absolutely perfect for each other. Are they willing to give up their lifestyles to see if they could settle down and actually fall in love with each other? In Unwritten, music was a huge part of the story, and Lauren made sure to bring that aspect again with Rewritten. Which makes me love it even more. So if you are in the mood for a love story that will move you and make you fall in love not only with the characters, her words and music, this is definitely a must!!

Where has this book been all my life lol. Every single time you think the book is about to go one way it turns out even better! It took me longer to read this book than normal because of my own reasons. I loved reading this book! I am from the Bay Area so reading about places so close to home was a cool experience. I am so relieved that Jacqueline kicked the bucket. As kind of bad that makes me feel to say that about even a fictional person lol. But seeing Charlie and Allison and Lyric live out there life together the way it was meant to is so heart warming. Just goes to show that being a biological parent doesn't make you a parent! It is someone who is more than willing to step in and be the person you need and love you as there own and nothing less. The note at the end to the Detective was did me end.. Opened up the flood gates to tear Ville! But a small note to the author you have to write something for Paul and Nicole! Holy fucking cow how could you not.
I need more Paul in my life like yesterday lol would I recommend this book yes and already have! Can't wait to read Black Widow

5 Satisfying Stars!!
I simply devoured this book! Book 1, Unwritten, ended on a cliffhanger and luckily I had book 2 so I jumped right in! I loved that it started right where book 1 ended. So many twists and turns. Lauren Runow definitely knows how to take her readers on an amazing journey.
Charlie is headed home to deal with Jacquelyn while Allison stays to finish her internship. He has some huge decisions to make and it could definitely affect his relationship with Allison.
I love that we get to know Charlie's friend Paul and we also get to see his relationship with Allison's sister Nichole. It definitely adds to the hotness scale!! It was refreshing to see the story in so many POV's.
We also get to know Detective Bryan and see how the case is shaping up.
I loved how the story ended with Detective Bryan. I actually shed some tears!
This series will keep you glued to your kindle. It is written beautifully and the story flows so effortlessly.
Lauren Runow is now an automatic one click for me. She definitely knows how to captivate her audience!

Charlie has found the love of his life in Allison. Allison loves Charlie with all her heart. Now that fate brought them together is that enough with everything going on to keep them together? Or will life and past choices tear them apart?
How do you follow up an amazing 1st novel? You write an fantastic sequel! Lauren Runow's Rewritten is the follow up and conclusion to Unwritten released earlier this year. I loved Unwritten with it's twists and turns around every corner and Rewritten didn't disappoint! Rewritten picks up right where Unwritten left off and even though it's been months since I read Unwritten it feels like no time has passed. Strong sub characters enhance the plot with more twists and turns and surprises ahead. 5 Stars to Rewritten by Lauren Runow and if you haven't read Unwritten pick up both as you won't be disappointed at all!

Let me start by saying, I rated the first book in this series, Unwritten, five stars. This book blew the last one out of the water. I'm so blessed to be able to read this early for review because I don't think I could've waited so long to read it. Not only do you get more Charlie and Allison, but you also get Paul and Nichole. Two love stories for the price of one! Let me just tell you, Paul is freaking HOT!! Ladies, you will LOVE him!!! You get left with a cliffy in the last book, an awesome cliffy may I add... This book starts off where Unwritten left off. The plot twists in this book are more intense than the first book. AMAZING things happen here, TRUST ME! Lauren hit this one out of the park! Fun, fast paced, sexy, chaotic, insane (in the best way possible), and did I say SEXY?! This book is on FIRE! Must read ladies!! Two book boyfriends to die for are waiting for you!

I had the previlege to be choosen to read the ARC version of this piece of art and le me tell you this:
Ok girls I just finish Rewritten by Lauren Runow and boy what a story.
I fall in love with her work once I started to read unwritten and this book, OMG amazing.
The love story between Allison and Charlie is beautiful, with ups and downs like any love story. The ups where amazing, the fire in the sex scenes, OMG, and the bad parts, urgh I was capable of getting in the book and slap someone. I can't tell to much about the story because I don't want to spoil. I totally recommend this series. Grab it and read it. It will capture your heart from the first page. Thanks Lauren for giving me the chance to know your work and to know you.

This was a great, fun and dramatic read for me.....and HOT!!! HELLO Paul!!!! If I have my way, at some point, we will have more of these characters. I loved that there were some unexpected moments. The story flowed and I loved how it all came together. Glad I didn't have to wait too long after "Unwritten". Read this when you have time to spare because you won't want to put it down!!!!! It's not always easy to find a book that each character really brought more of the story to life. Write some more Lauren!!!

Omg the ups and downs were brutal! I was always wondering what was going to happen next! Just when I was expecting one thing to happen, I would be surprised with it being not what I expected. Definitely a great summer read!

What a fabulous, amazing, wonderful conclusion to Charlie and Allison's story!! Every page in this book was exciting! This book was suspenseful and I greatly enjoyed every minute of it!!!!
February 28, 2017
This is another great book. I enjoy reading this book and look forward to her other books!!

This is book two from Unwritten Series . Ok so let's start by saying book one is way better than book two sorry. Although I did enjoy it, I did feel like main story got pushed a little aside to add more characters. I really did love those characters though and their POV but I feel like Allison and Charlie lost some of their magic. In the first book yes I was cheering for Allison but on this book she kind of got on my nerves as I felt like she was being too dramatic with her "I need time", man that got annoying. Honestly being Charlie I would have said see ya later, lol. Sorry!. .....OK Charlie did mess up but he apologized she took him back but it's like she just needed to either let him go or just deal with it instead of just holding it against him. I missed the plot twists that I have grown to love from Lauren.
Charlie comes back from Paris to deal with problems, but does not want to lose Allison, and will give anything up for her. He is super sweet and still an amazing guy. He has so much going on because of Jacquelyn. His life is upside down but he will fight to make it right and build his life with Allison.
After being apart, Allison comes back from Paris, she is in love with Charlie, but seems every time she thinks she's over his past something happens to bring it back. Now she has to decide if she wants to move forward or give up on the love of her life.
We also get to see Nichole and Paul’s story develop which makes me wonder if Lauren will write about them next. I really enjoyed them a lot and I think they stole the show from Charlie and Allison a bit in this one. Lol. I'm still a little unsure about the ending though as I’m not sure I believe it. Overall I did find it was a good read.
4 Stars

OMG!
It seems unbelievable but when I thought things couldn't get more complicated, they just did.
I really wanted to read this book to know how Charlie and Allison's story would end.
But I was disappointed. Too many twists, too many complications and I didn't like the way all this was solved.
A pity...

I loved that this second book started right where it left of in the first one. Though the story felt sometimes a bit unreal, crazy and over the top but it was nevertheless an enjoyable, fun and hot read.
*slightly spoilery*
I liked that there was a second story going on with Nicole and Paul. It lighted up the mood from the book a bit because Charlie had a hard decision to make. I felt like he never really decided though. And they both never made up their minds about the kid. The time flew by and the kid was suddenly there.
I didn’t have a problem with Allison in the first book but in this second one I just didn't like her most of the time for a few reasons. Charlie was constantly apologizing to Allison and she always needed time, it got tiring after a while. I really don’t know why she acted like the one with all the problems when it was Charlie who had to deal with all of it and she was just stuck in the middle because of him. She could have walked away but made it even harder on Charlie.
I don't know why we also got the detective's part but it was heartbreaking and I loved the ending and Charlie for everything. It just felt a bit rushed in the end though.
