Rebound

​The author pledges to donate 100% of the proceeds from REBOUND's pre-orders to The Trevor Project.

Bisexual YouTuber Noah Perrin had everything he could dream of. His channel was thriving, and his ten-year relationship with his boyfriend Hugo was rock solid—or so he believed until Hugo dumped him.

Completely lost, Noah watched as his life began to fall apart—until one phone call to his best friend and ex-lover Adrien Dupuis changed everything.

Would Noah expose himself to more pain by moving in with Adrien—a man he’d always desired but could never have—a man already tied to somebody else?

Noah would have never guessed he'd find support in a woman from Adrien's entourage—a woman who makes him an offer he cannot refuse—a chance to finally be himself, to finally be happy.

Was this offer the opportunity he'd always dreamed of or was it just another dream meant to fail and break his heart?

REBOUND is a Polyamorous Bisexual Romance set entirely in France. It contains MM and MF scenes, heavy on the MF and heavy on erotic scenes.
Though part of a series, it is a standalone story. For a better experience, it is advised to read RETURN first.

Rebound by Rowan Shaw a feisty four-star read. This is number four in the Rewind series and it can be read a stand-alone, but I have read it as a series and enjoyed it as so, if you don’t want to read the whole series then it is advised that you read Return first as you may miss important details if you don’t. This is an interesting and challenging story and Noah has a journey to go on through this story and what a story it is, this is an emotional, gripping story and one you need to read.

So far, Noah's life hasn't been perfect and satisfying in every respect, but he hasn't complained about it because he's had the man he's loved at his side. However, the long-term relationship fell apart in the blink of an eye when his partner broke the rules they established and shattered Noah's heart to pieces. Now, the man must put his life back together. But will he be able to be himself and find the happiness he desires so much?

"Rebound" is the fourth volume of the "Rewind" series by Rowan Shaw, and while the previous part forced me to leave my comfort zone, this one was a real challenge, because it was a real journey beyond the mentioned zone. Those of you who have read "Rewind" series from the very beginning have probably noticed how much each volume differs from the others, both in terms of the story and the characters. It turns out that the author started her series rather gently and then slowly moved towards increasingly daring subjects and provocative characters. Thus, reading "Rebound" I had to be ready for anything. In particular, taking into account the fact that the author doesn't beat around the bush, as she often presents problems and situations directly, boldly.

Let's start with the fact that "Rebound" is mainly dominated by the presentation of a male-female relationship with particular emphasis put on its sexual side. This is undoubtedly very important for the "Rewind" series as it focuses on bisexuals. The author takes her books and the topic of bisexuality very seriously, so she is definitely not a person who, having four volumes at her disposal, would put a same-sex relationship at the center of every one of them. So this is a huge advantage of this novel, and at the same time a challenge for me – a person who is not a fan of erotic scenes between a man and a woman.

Another challenge for me was the way the author presents a polyamorous relationship, because I feel that it was shown in a manner close to the open ones. I have no problems accepting polyamorous relationships, including the literary ones, as in my opinion fiction is almost like a second reality, but to me open relationships are like a very extreme sport, and reading about them I always think of a long list of sexually transmitted diseases. Forgive me, but that's how it works with me. That is why for the comfort of reading and peace of conscience I prefer when the boundaries of polyamory are not stretched in any way. However, this doesn't mean that the way the author approaches the topic is bad, or it's a drawback of the novel. Rowan Shaw forced me to open my mind, and that's a big plus.

I think it's very important that in this volume Rowan Shaw raised one of the LGBT + community's eternal problems, that is the internal quarrel, which in this case refers to the problem of community image. In other words, it is all about the problem of the light in which the behavior of some people puts the whole community, as the heteronormative societies perceive the whole LGBT + community through the prism of those "controversial" people. The novel makes us ask ourselves, if leaving the closet we should pretend to be someone else just to be accepted. How is this different from staying in the closet? So I think that the character of Noah, as well as the entire "Rebound" novel are to a large extent some very important gems, which in a more and less literal way make us aware of many important truths and make us think.

In summary, "Rebound" is an interesting, charged with sexual energy novel, which is very different from the first volume of the series. Thus, it clearly presents the evolution of the author's story telling style, the topics she discusses and it shows us how diverse are the characters she creates. And believe me, for these characters it is really worth reading not only "Rebound" but the whole "Rewind" series.

________________________________

Dotychczasowe życie Noaha nie było może idealne i pod każdym względem satysfakcjonujące, jednak nie narzekał na nie, ponieważ miał u boku mężczyznę, którego kochał. Wieloletni związek legł jednak w gruzach w przeciągu jednej chwili, kiedy jego partner złamał ustalone przez nich obu zasady i roztrzaskał serce Noaha na drobne kawałki. Mężczyzna musi teraz poskładać swoje życie na nowo. Tylko czy uda mu się jednocześnie być sobą i odnaleźć szczęście, którego tak bardzo pragnie?

„Rebound” jest czwartym tomem serii „Rewind” autorstwa Rowan Shaw i o ile już poprzednia część zmusiła mnie do wyjścia z mojej strefy komfortu, o tyle ta stanowiła prawdziwe wyzwanie, gdyż była dla mnie istną podróż poza wspominaną strefę. Osoby, które są z serią „Rewind” od początku niewątpliwie zauważyły, jak bardzo każdy tom różni się od innych, zarówno pod względem przedstawionej historii, jaki również bohaterów. Okazuje się bowiem, że autorka zaczynając swoją serię delikatnie, powoli przesuwała się w stronę coraz odważniejszej tematyki i coraz bardziej wyzywających postaci. Tym samym, czytając „Rebound” musiałam być gotowa na wszystko. W szczególności biorąc pod uwagę fakt, iż autorka nie owija w bawełnę, ale często prezentuje problemy i sytuacje bezpośrednio, odważnie.

Zacznijmy od tego, że w „Rebound” w głównej mierze dominuje przedstawienie relacji damsko-męskiej ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem jej seksualnej strony. Jest to niewątpliwie bardzo istotne dla serii jaką jest „Rewind”, jako że skupia się ona na osobach biseksualnych. Autorka podchodzi do swoich książek oraz tematu biseksualizmu bardzo poważnie, więc zdecydowanie nie jest osobą, która mając do dyspozycji cztery tomy w każdym stawiałaby w centrum związek jednopłciowy. Jest to więc ogromną zaletą tej powieści, a jednocześnie wyzwaniem dla mnie – osoby, która nie jest fanką opisów zbliżeń seksualnych między mężczyzną i kobietą.

Kolejnym wyzwaniem był dla mnie sposób, w jaki autorka przedstawia związek poliamoryczny, albowiem jego kreacja graniczy ze związkiem otwartym. Nie mam problemów z zaakceptowaniem związków poliamorycznych, wliczając w to związki literackie, jako że dla mnie fikcja jest niemal drugim realem, jednak związki otwarte są dla mnie niczym sport bardzo ekstremalny i czytając o nich zawsze mam przed oczyma długą listę chorób roznoszonych drogą płciową. Wybaczcie, ale tak to już ze mną jest. Dlatego właśnie dla komfortu czytania i spokoju sumienia wolę, kiedy granice poliamorii nie są w żaden sposób naciągane. Nie znaczy to jednak, że sposób, w jaki do tematu podchodzi autorka uważam za zły, czy też stanowiący wadę powieści. Rowan Shaw zmusiła mnie do otwarcia umysłu, a to duży plus.

W tym tomie bardzo istotny wydaje mi się fakt, iż Rowan Shaw poruszyła odwieczny problem, jakim są wewnętrzne sprzeczki w społeczności LGBT+, odnoszące się w tym wypadku do wizerunku. Inaczej mówiąc, chodzi o problem tego, w jakim świetle zachowanie niektórych osób stawia całą społeczność, jak przez pryzmat osób „kontrowersyjnych” cała społeczność LGBT+ jest postrzegana przez heteronormatywne społeczeństwa. Powieść zmusza nas do zadania sobie pytania, czy wychodząc z szafy powinniśmy udawać kogoś kim nie jesteśmy tylko po to, aby zostać zaakceptowanymi? W jaki sposób różni się to od pozostania w szafie? Uważam więc, że postać Noaha, jak również cała powieść „Rebound” to w dużym stopniu bardzo istotne perełki, które w mniej i bardziej dosłowny sposób uświadamiają nam wiele ważnych dla nas prawd i zmuszają nas do myślenia.

Podsumowując, „Rebound” to interesująca, naładowana seksualną energią powieść, która w ogromnym stopniu różni się od pierwszego tomu serii. Tym samym, wyraźnie prezentuje ewolucję stylu opowiadania historii autorki, poruszanych tematów oraz pokazuje nam, jak różnorodnych bohaterów potrafi ona tworzyć. A wierzcie mi, dla tych bohaterów naprawdę warto sięgnąć nie tylko po „Rebound”, ale po całą serię „Rewind”.

This book was my first that discusses polyamory so keep that in mind with this review. • I appreciated that there was an educational learning curve for readers that may not understand the full extent of this such as myself although I can see for someone who doesn't need this education to think it is not important i appreciated it being there. • I also liked that it showed the feeling the main characters are going through most from the second book to this one from all different perspectives although I wish there wasn't so much jumping because there were moments of jarring plot. • In addition, I enjoyed how the author shows what happens when you've been in a 10 year relationship and you've compromised yourself immensely to being free that made my heart feel all the feels. • One big problem I had (and trust me this is a preference thing not a jab at the author) there was a lot more sexual activity than what I am used to in books and there were moments of confusion at what was going on and if that's not something that you like in books skim quickly through those parts.
Overall, this series provides fantastic representation of multiple diverse populations especially orientation. This book in particular if you're looking for new bi/polyamory representation I recommend this tenfold. But because of points mentioned already I have to give this a 4 out of 5 stars I cannot wait to read the next one.

I always know, and love, that with a Rowan Shaw book I am going to get some taboo subjects with some steamy reading to accompany it. I wasn’t disappointed with REBOUND, the 4th book in the REWIND series from her. Like I usually do, this book should and does, have a content warning because it will make you explore concepts and ideals around love that are a bit outside the typical or what most consider typical love stories. I love how Rowan Shaw can do this with a finesse that will blow your socks off each time.

In REBOUND we get the story of Noah. Noah has thought that no matter how rough life can get at least he has a good man by his side that loves him. All of that is shattered with an unexpected break up. This spurns Noah into discovering his more bisexual side and a relationship with a woman that will heat up your kindles as you read. I personally enjoyed the undertone of a Polyamorous relationship and the way they seem to work. I am personally a practicing poly person so this was a nice bonus touch to the story for me personally that I thought was done very well, something I find is not easy to do. I look forward to seeing what will come next in the series as I am sure it will be as delightful and steamy as these have! Hopefully it tops this as it became my favorite of the series fast.

REBOUND (Rewind Book 4)
By Rowan Shaw
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the story REBOUND (Rewind Book 4) by Rowan Shaw. It is a book that pulls you in from the beginning and doesn’t let you go until the final page. I loved reading about the character of Noah and Adrien. Noah believes that he has a wonderful life. His videos on a website are popular and he has a relationship with his boyfriend Hugo. His world changes when he is dumped by Hugo. Adrien is Noah’s best friend and ex-lover. He is the one that Noah turns to when his life crumbles. The only thing is that Adrien is with another. What does the future hold for Noah? He finds himself being supported by a woman in Adrien’s circle. Will she be the one that brings Noah happiness? Read this book to find out. This story is an emotional journey. Noah is a character that is likable and also someone that you want to find happiness. There are other characters that interact with Noah and I enjoyed reading about them as well. This is a story that can be read as a standalone. I personally have read the entire series and I found that I am glad that I did. This book is about acceptance and exploration. It is a book that I would highly recommend reading.

Rebound is the fourth book in the Rewind Series by Rowan Shaw. It is, in my opinion, the ‘spiciest’ of the series so far. It could be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend reading the rest of the series – or at the very least diving into “Return” (Book #2) before starting on this one- as a lot of character introductions and backstory is contained there.
As I mentioned, this book is a little different than the rest of the series, as this has a polyamorous/ bisexual romance- with both M/M and M/F scenes playing out throughout the story. I really didn’t know what to expect going into this book- but Rowan Shaw didn’t disappoint- grabbing my attention and pulling me in right from the beginning. As with her other books, this story is so well written- while managing to create truly realistic and believable characters and situations. I have said before, and this book is no different, that the author is a really great storyteller- writing a complex, thought-provoking, moving, and very memorable stories.
A wonderful addition to the series, holding its own against the rest of the pack- but a book with an energy, flavour, and personality all its own.

Thank you, Rowan Shaw!

A great read about breakups. Nosh thought he had it all. But when he finds his boyfriend Hugo cheating on him with an actor, his whole world is turned upside down. He turns to his friend Adrien and stays at his house for a while. Can he get over Hugo and move on?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Noah standing up for himself but emotive underneath or Hugo as cold and manipulative. Great cast of supporting characters like the fun friend Nour or the supportive Adrien or the quieter Raphael.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with Paris with its streets full of life and people and colour despite Noahs mood contrasting perfectly. Or the scenes at dinner with the candles and food as intimate and homely. Or Rapheals house with its sense of culture with bright paintings and lots of books with smells and sounds so vivid its as if you're actually there.
The switch of perspectives worked well to display all the sides of the story and was easy to follow with names in the chapter titles. I also liked the use of French culture throughout the novel with its foods and language giving the book a sense of character. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Rebound was a great 5 star read and book four in the Rewind series.
I was excited to get the next book in the series, Rowan has once again pulled me right in with her writing.

Noah was shocked when his boyfriend Hugo broke up with him. They had 10 great years together, so Noah thought. Trying to move forward he turns to Adrien, his best friend. He meets a woman that Adrien knows and starts a very hot and steamy relationship with her.

Can Noah find happiness with her?

Overall I really enjoyed this story, I think it’s my favorite in the series so far. My emotions were all over the place. Noah really tugs at your heartstrings with everything he is going through. All of the secondary characters were great. This is a polyamorous/bisexual romance with M/M, M/F, M/M/M and M/M/M/F. I really like how open each of the characters are sexually, they all connect so well. You can read as a standalone however, I suggest reading the entire series. 1-click and get started today on this great series.

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. I have grown to love this series. This is the fourth book of the Rewind series. This book can be read as a stand-alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. You can’t help but fall in love with these characters. I could not put this book down so I read it in only one day.

Noah loves his life. He is a famous video blogger and he has so many fans. Noah is very happy with his relationship but one day he finds himself being second best. His partner Hugo finds someone else and Noah has nowhere to go. Noah is so upset he calls his dear friend and ex lover Adrien for help. He ends up staying with Adrien and Raphael. Noah knows that Adrien loves Ralph but he also misses his best friend. He meets one of Adrien’s friends and she really likes him but does Noah want to get involved again? Will Noah find his happiness or will he be always second best?

Rebound is the 4th book in the excellent Rewind Series by Rowan Shaw. Each of the 4 books in this series are considered to be standalones but the author does suggest that you read the 2nd book, Return before reading this one as Adrien and Raphael from that book play a major role in this book too.
Rebound is a Polyamorous Bisexual Romance set entirely in France. It contains several sexual encounters, including MM and MF. It also includes some very hot encounters between 3 men and another which includes the 3 men and their friend Charlotte.
Noah Perrin is devastated when Hugo, his boyfriend of 10 years dumps him. Ex-lover Adrien invites Noah to move in with him and his boyfriend Raphael. When friend Charlotte admits she may be bisexual, Noah helps her to come to terms with her new sexuality while trying to get over the breakdown of his own relationship.
As with the previous 3 books in this series the sexual scenes are very hot and are explained in great detail. This is not a series for prudes. As well as the hot sex scenes, Rowan Shaw spins yet another fantastic story of coming to terms with your sexuality. I loved reading the growing relationship between Noah and Charlotte as well as the friendship and camaraderie between them and Adrien and Raphael.
I have loved all 4 books in this series and I really hope there is more to come. These 4 books are now available as a box set and I’m sincerely hoping that doesn’t mean that this great series is over.

REBOUND (Rewind Book 4) by Rowan Shaw. This author knows just how to pull me in. I’ve read these in order a while you could read them differently I recommend in order just to enhance the reading experience of this series. This author knows how to write a story that grips readers. I’ve loved every book in this series and this one was just as amazing. The characters are complex and relatable I was completely drawn into their story I just didn’t want to leave. There’s so much emotion written into the words and I felt it all. The characters captured a piece of my heart and I’ll never get it back nor do I want it back, because I truly felt a connection with each character in different ways. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. It’s a bit different and I loved every minute of it. Five stars all the way and highly recommended. Can’t wait to see where the author takes readers next.

So this is Noah’s story of heartbreak, lust and love. When this started I didn’t feel it was one of the better stories in the series. It seemed mostly sexual and not much story. I get that Noah sexual and not afraid to show it. It just seemed like the focus was on that part of him. Not the side that wants love as well or the worry he won’t find a partner who accepts all of him. That being said In the ending it really came around. I loved the last chapter! I am so happy for Adrien and Raphaël. A couple times I thought this would take a wrong turn for them. I was almost more invested in their story instead of Noah’s.

This isn’t my first story by this author and it isn’t my favorite. In most of the other books the characters made huge growth improvements and overcame horrendous issues. I just didn’t see that in here. I liked Noah but again it seemed to go from sexual encounter to sexual encounter. That’s not for me I need some story to round this out.

Rebound is the fourth book in the Rewind series. Even though you can pick up on what is going on in this book pretty easily, I’d recommend reading the previous books in order to get a better feel for all of the characters.

I absolutely loved every one of the Rewind books. I’ve been waiting for Noah’s story since he was first mentioned in the series. Rebound has a bit of a different feel than the previous three books, but it was still excellent. I enjoyed the polyamorous aspect of the characters. I also liked the portrayal of Charlotte’s self-realization. I think it is important to show the concerns that come up when you are finding out new things about your self-identity. It was very well done in this story.

I highly recommend the Rewind series. I’ll probably binge read them all again soon!

REBOUND
Rewind Book 4
By Rowan Shaw
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length novel, written for Adults.
This book is a Bisexual Romance. That just might open your eyes
as it did mine.

Noah Perrin has worked very hard to get his YouTube channel out for all to see. His boyfriend Hugo and him have been together for 10 years. Everything was as it should be, until everything came crashing down. Now he must follow his gut and turn to his friend, Adrien Dupuis. Will this be the help Noah is asking for, or will it be a mistake?

Rowan Shaw has opened my eyes with this bisexuals romance. The book was detailed in M/M as well as M/F relationships. I can tell you this book was a page turner for me. I love to learn all I can. I found this book informative and interesting. I hope to read more from this author. Who better then Rowan Shaw?

REBOUND is the fourth book in the Rewind series by Rowan Shaw.

Noah's life is turned upside down when his long time boyfriend Hugo ends their ten year relationship. Thankfully Noah has his friendship with Adrien and with the help of his friend he starts putting his life back together.

I love who Noah ended up with and think they make a perfect couple and I don't know where to start with my joy over this new couple.

I found myself getting very emotional during the book and think its because I get so attached to the characters I love and this is a group I'm totally in love with and I think of the reason is because they aren't what society would consider normal, but the depth of love they each have for their partner is beautiful. If only all couples were so loving to one another.

I'm hoping this is a series that doesn't end any time soon.

5 stars!

Oh Rowan Shaw! Her writing is off the charts, and I have yet to read any book by her I don’t like or can’t get in to. Noah’s story is everything I hoped it would be and more. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Noah being with a female after such a long relationship with his previous boyfriend because I was already in love with all the gay characters and their relationships. Rowan Shaw definitely changed my mind and I was very pleased and excited to watch Noah and his new polyamorous relationship. My heart was truly broken when his relationship of 10 years ended but he picked himself up and found his happiness. I really love when character from the other books cross over.

This book can be read as a stand-alone but it is 100 times better if you read the series in order. I can’t wait to see what she will bring us next!

Rebound by Rowan Shaw is the fourth book in the Rewind series. This book can be read as a stand-alone however personally I would read them in order to get the full experience.
As with the rest of this series what was so good about this book was how engaging and relatable the characters are. Even if they are going through things you haven’t been it was so easy to envisage their journey, their struggles.
I really loved Noah. He is one of those characters I just connected with instantly. And how the author portrays polyamorous relationships is brilliant. As someone not at all familiar with that type of relationship it was made easy to understand.
This is a fantastic book and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

REBOUND (REWIND BOOK 4) By Rowan Shaw is the fourth book in the Rewind series and a book I couldn��t put down once I started reading. I can’t tell you how much I freaking love this whole series and this author. This story can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the first three books in this series to give you background of the characters . Noah is faced with a opportunity one he’s always wanted and has dreamed about it. But is it worth the risk of his heart getting broken? I have to say I just love Noah and want him to find what makes him happy. There are parts of the story that had me feeling a little emotional. Get ready for this emotional journey. Find out what happens next in this must read. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Rebound is the fourth book in the Rewind series by Rowan Shaw. This can be a stand alone story, but the author does recommend to read Return first for a better understanding for this story. Shaw does an amazing job setting the story up with his multi-level characters and his plot line. Rebound is Noah’s story. Noah’s life is going along perfectly but that is coming to an end. His relationship with Hugo is over. He is crushed and he contacts his best friend and ex Adrien to help him recover. Noah finds comfort in a woman who is apart of Adrien’s entourage. WIll Noah be able to put his heart on a line again or will he close himself up? Can he live his dream or will he fail again? You will have to read the story to find out what happens to Noah.

This is the 4th book of this type by Rowan Shaw. It follows the story of Noah.

Noah is bi and has been in a relationship with Hugo for 10 years. However, his world comes crashing down when he finds out Hugo has fallen in love and was seeing someone behind his back.

Heartbroken Noah moved out to live with Adrien and Raphael. Things get steamy between the 3 of them until Charlotte comes onto the scene and changes Noahs life.

Charlotte is like Noah in the sense that they dont want to be tied to one person. They want a relationship but to be able to also sleep with other people. Can this relationship work or is it doomed from the start?

I have read everyone of this author’s books and loved each one, this one is no different. This story can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading this series from the beginning to help enhance your enjoyment and background of the characters. This is a well developed story that takes place in France. The characters not only bring the story to life but are connectable and keep you coming back for more. In this book we get to see Noah who is faced with an opportunity that he has always dreamed about, always wanted. When it comes down to it, it could break his heart. Is it worth the risk? I highly recommend reading his story to find out what happens next, it is a must read.

REBOUND (Rewind Book 4) by Rowan Shaw is a quick read that is like the others an emotional read. Rowan touches on subjects that many think of as taboo, but she does so beautifully. She puts her heart and soul into each one of her stories and it shows through her word smithing and world building. I like the characters in this story and the fact it is a little different from the others.

Noah is a Bisexual young man who is lost but all it takes is to meet the right person who makes him realise that he is allowed to be himself and to be happy along with it but will his heart be broken again?

Grab a copy and find out Noah’s story.

Rebound by Rowan Shaw is the fourth book in the Rewind series. This can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the series or at least the second book Return first. There are characters which reoccur and having the background is helpful. The characters are very well written and they tell a story which could be battered and treated poorly with love and respect. There are polyamorous relationships and they are told wonderfully and explained from all parts of the relationship. Rowan Shaw makes the characters easy to relate to which leaves you wanting the best for all parties. I really enjoyed this book as well as the others in the series.

Rebound is the fourth book in the Rewind series by Rowan Shaw. Even thou Rebound can be read as a standalone, I would highly suggest reading every book due to the interconnected characters. This story might be my favorite not only for the hot and oh so steamy bedroom scenes but for the exploring of these relationships.

Rowan Shaw is becoming a go-to author for me in the LGBTQ romance community. I know the subject of Polyamorous Bisexual Romance is either a hit or miss with some readers, but this reader loves learning about how love can be between anyone who is open to love in any variety.

I can’t wait to see if we get more books in this series or what Rowan will write about next.

I love Rowan Shaw's books. They are all always so different from anything I've read. They are a complete breath of fresh air and I can't get enough of it! Each book in the series can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading them all!

Noah's life is perfect until it wasn't. After his boyfriend leaving his life just started crumbling into pieces until he so he reaches out to his ex-lover and best friend Adrien but is surprised to the love and support in Adrien's circle. Can Noah finally find happiness.

I loved all aspects of this story. It was so beautifully written and it's probably my favorite one yet!

I'm weak if it comes to Rowan Shaw, because I just can't say no to her books.

I read 99% m/m books, but if it's her, I don't care what I'm reading about. Bring it on all the couples with different races and sexuality. And this is the best thing I love in Rowan Shaw's books. She writes about everyone from the colors of the rainbow. And I just love all of her characters and stories.

Noah is my top weakness. I fell in love with him back in Return, and I just couldn't wait to finally read his story. And I am so happy now that I read his book because it was perfect. One thing is missing only, me from the story. Because Noah is my LOVE and I want him to be real and with me, I can totally share!

Noah is a cutie pie and he deserves the best of everything. I loved reading his book and loved that Andre and Raphael were there too. Oh god I'm so jealous! That threesome, gawd!!!

I was a bit afraid becuase I knew that Noah was going to be with a woman, and didn't know who she would be, but after reading it I can only say one thing- well deserved and well written.

All the couples in this book was amazing. Loved all the love, all the hot sex scenes and just LOVED the whole book.

There were m/m/m, m/m/f/m/, m/f, m/m/f, f/f/m ... :D All the yummy pairings. And everything what Noah deserves.

Amazing! And Andre&Raphael's story was so good too, awwww♥

Love all of them.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

REBOUND (Rewind Book 4)


by Rowan Shaw


This is was a great read. It took me on an emotional journey. This book was so well written and I found myself completely enthralled by the story. I loved Noah  and I could feel how hurt he was when Hugo broke up with him. There are other great characters in this book that are supportive of what Noah's going through. I have read all the books in this series,  they captured my heart and I became invested in what was going to happen to the characters. This is a must read to find out how this ends for Noah. I highly recommend this book.

Rebound was such a good novel! I haven't read the previous novels in the Rewind series, but it wasn't difficult to get into. I loved all the positivity in this book! You obviously have pro-LGBT themes, you also have the characters and the author against misogyny and prejudice of all kinds, it's was just such a heartfelt story to read. I loved how Rowan Shaw was able to immediately capture you into the story with her words alone. Kudos to this author for this story! Definitely an 18+ novel for tolerant adults. I highly recommend and will definitely reading the rest of the series soon!

REBOUND (REWIND BOOK 4) By Rowan Shaw

4-Stars

REBOUND (REWIND BOOK 4) By Rowan Shaw was another amazing read. I love how the author brings the story to life with detail, humor, and creativity. This story has good flow and is easy to follow. It is organized and easy to visualize. The cover work is also attractive and eye catching. I have been following this series for some time and I like how the author makes the books easy to be read as a standalone. Definitely worth the read.

Like the lifestyle or not, the book is exactly as described and extremely well written. The characters are real, whole, and extremely well written. Of the series, I believe this is the best of the bunch. Shaw has a unique voice and one that resonates loudly, whether you walk in the shoes of the characters or not.
