About this listen

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.

What a fantastic conclusion to the 'Windy City' series! I've been a fan of Liz Tomforde's work since her 'Selfish' series, and it’s hard to believe this journey has come to an end.

I am particularly excited about Monty’s book, but I had been eagerly anticipating Rio's story from the very beginning. Let me tell you, the wait was worth it! I now fully understand why Rio's book was saved for last. He captured my heart in the earlier books in the series and completely stole it again in this one. Also, Hallie is the perfect addition to the FMCs in this series.

Liz's storytelling continually amazes me as she weaves emotion, growth, and unforgettable moments into her characters' arcs. I couldn't have asked for a more satisfying finale!

What a way to wrap up the series!

You know the feeling when you read a book and it completely surprises you?

I have been impatiently waiting for Rio’s book since the moment he was introduced in Mile High, and Rewind it Back surprised me in the best way possible.

This book was so different than I expected. It was fun and flirty as I assumed it would be, but it was also deep and emotional. I didn’t think it would be possible for Liz Tomforde to make me love anyone more than Kai, but Rio said hold my beer and knocked him out of the top spot. There was no way not to fall in love with him or Hallie and I couldn’t get enough of them! The cherry on top was getting more of my favorite Windy City characters, making me love this story even more.

The audio is amazing! Megan Wicks and Connor Crais did a fantastic job narrating this story, keeping me engaged and bringing these characters to life in the best way possible.

6 Stars!

Megan Wicks is "newer" to me, but I really REALLY liked her narration in this book. Connor Crais is one of my absolute FAVORITES, and he always does a FAB job narrating.

Wow. Just wow.

If you've read all of the Windy City books, you know that Rio is that special friend to both the guys on the team while still being a best friend to all of the significant females in his life. He was always the fun, funny guy who you didn't take too seriously. He definitely deserved his own story, but author Liz Tomforde blew all of the other books out of the water with this one.

Rio and Hallie knew each other from the time she and her brother moved in next door. Seems like he felt something for her from that first moment, when she was eleven and he was twelve. As they grew older, they grew closer, although they hid it from their families for a few years. And just when they were preparing to make a life together as young adults, just after Rio got drafted into the NHL, all of the pertinent things happen that made this such a compelling story.

It's six years later when Hallie and Rio find each other again in Chicago. I can't say more without getting into spoiler territory, but I will say this is definitely in my top favorite new books that I've read this year. I was nearly overwhelmed with how good the story was and how well the author brought everything full circle. The ONLY thing that would have improved the story would have been a bonus epilogue 4-5 years in the future. I seriously LOVE bonus epilogues :)

READ THIS BOOK!!! I mean, you have to read the whole series to really FEEL Rio's story.

Sweet Scale: 5/5
Spicy Scale: 4/5

Rio & Hallie have the BEST <3 Story of the series!

So sad for this series to be ending but this book was the PERFECT one to end it with!!! I love Rio’s character and getting to see him grow through out the other books was amazing!! Listening to him get his perfect ending was the cherry on the top for this series! The narrators for this story were perfect as well!

Perfect Ending

I truly love this whole series with my entire being and cannot believe it’s come to an end. I was not prepared for how perfect Rio’s story was going to be, to know he’s kept Hallie in his heart this ENTIRE series is so so precious🥹🫶🏻 Second chance romance always hits me in the feels when it’s done right and of course Liz executed it to perfection!! The yearning…the groveling, the angst was everything and the past and present timelines gives the story emotional depth and suspense as the story of their fallout unfolds. The mix tapes and bonding over music was so nostalgic and I loved the forbidden/best friend’s sister sneaking around, sleeping on the floor and rooftop meetups…ahh young love. I was smiling and kicking my feet the entire time—and biting my fist at those spicy scenes and the way Rio calls her baby🥵 This isn’t just a love story…it’s a story of forgiveness, hope, sacrifice, family and healing. Absolute perfection! These 10 characters have my WHOLE heart! SOBBED at that ending! I can’t believe it’s over😭😭😭

This series has my WHOLE ENTIRE HEART
