Rewind It Back

Windy City Series, Book 5

By: Liz Tomforde

Narrated by: Megan Wicks, Connor Crais

Hallie
When I was eleven, my family moved next door to his.
When I was thirteen, he was my first crush.
When I was sixteen, we fell for each other.
And when I was nineteen, we broke each other's hearts.

Six years later, I've landed an internship with a big-name interior designer in a new city.
Unfortunately, that city just so happens to be the one he plays hockey for.

I thought Chicago was big enough to avoid him, until I get the surprise of a lifetime and unknowingly move in right next door.
Even worse? The renovation project I'm assigned to in hopes of turning that internship into my full-time dream job...

It's his house.

But how am I supposed to update his bachelor pad into a family home when we can't even stand to be in the same room?

I may have loved Rio DeLuca once, but I'm not that same girl anymore.

Rio
I never thought I'd be the only single one left in my friend group.
But after years of trying to find love, I've concluded it may not exist for me anymore.

That is until I accidentally hire Hallie Hart to renovate my house and our jaded history has me rewinding memories I've kept secret for years.

You see, there's something that my friends don't know.

That connection I've been looking for since I moved to Chicago, that one person some search their entire lives to find... I had already found her when I was twelve years old.

And now the only girl I've ever loved is moving into the house next door.

Again.

Crying my eyes off

The perfect ending to a perfect series and the best one yet. Loved it and felt so sad we won’t get more. Mandatory read for all. The narration made the ending so much more meaningful.

Liz Tomforde has done it again :)

You already know what I’m gonna say! SO MG GOOD!! I freaking love this series. Crying cause it’s over

Amazing final book!

I loved Rio and Hallie’s story. The audio was 💯 and it was the first in the series done in duet style. Chefs kiss.

Outstanding

If I didn’t have to work I would have finished this book yesterday. This book will always have a place in my heart. I never wanted it to end!

Hallie & Rio

Literal tears!! A beautiful ending to the most beloved series. I didn’t want it to end. Liz truly never misses. I can’t believe it’s just over. I am super excited to see what is next. I will be seated waiting impatiently🥹❤️

Loved everything about this book.

Loved Rios story! Finished the book in one day. Soo sad the series is over.

Perfect Ending to a Well Loved Series

Liz’s writing has really grown through this series and it has been lovely to listen. LOVE that it was a full on duet. It adds something that we didn’t quite get with the other books. It was Rio’s turn and I love Hallie for him so much.

Love and Love

This was perfect. The story, the characters the every thing. I have loved Rio. I did want a little more humor since it was Rio, but one of my top 2 from this series.

this love story is the sweetest

I loved the performance and the due formatt! this is a good closure of the windy city series.
it felt a bit dragging at times, but a good and sweet love story nonetheless. I enjoyed it a lot and for sure I will hear more audiobooks from these two voice actors!

A perfect ending to the perfect series

This was the perfect ending to the perfect series! Hallie and Rio are my new definition of second chance romance and I honestly can’t explain how much I loved their story. This was such a romantic, heartwarming story I could cry ❤️ Rio has been a favorite since that first book and it was beautiful to see him get his happy ending. The angst was on point, the romance was swoony and the spice was spicyyyy!! Honestly perfection. I loved them both so much I’m sure I’ll re-read soon. I’m so excited to keep reading more of Liz’s work because there’s something about her books that just resonates with me!

I didn’t think the voices really fit the characters, Rio sounded kind of broody and serious instead of goofy. And Hallie sounded much older. However, the performance was enjoyable!
