Love in Rewind by Tali Alexander is the first book in
the Audio Fools series. Emily Bruel has the life of dreams. At 29, she has two
beautiful kids with her gorgeous and successful husband, Louis Bruel in a
luxurious Upper East Side townhouse. There, she has a live-in nanny, a
housekeeper, a cook and other perks that make her life a breeze. Louis has
built a real estate development firm to a billion-dollar success in less than
15 years. Together, their ten-year marriage seems to be the stuff of fairy
tales. But something is off. Emily feels Louis becoming distant and secretive.
She is forced to search for the truth among the silence and lies. Will the
truth shatter any hopes of rekindling their love and marriage? Can their
remember their love for each other through the help of their favorite songs?
I am a sucker for a good romance novel but from the very
beginning, Love in Rewind was not the book I thought it was. It is a
marriage in peril as the opening chapter finds Emily waking up from a horrible
dream and begs her husband to comfort her, who turns her away. The second
chapter finds her reminiscing about the day she met Louis. She was 18, he was
almost 30 and had the eye of every woman in the room. I didn’t mind the age
difference between the two characters as I know a few very loving and committed
couples with such an age difference. However, Louis constantly refers to Emily
as “little girl” while they have their romantic and sexual encounters is
creepy. I loved the idea of song references to their love story as my husband
and I love quoting songs to each other, but it wasn’t enough for me to like
this story. I do not recommend Love in Rewind.
