Review: Slow to start, but then warms your heart

Normally, you'd have to chain me, unwillingly, to a chair with handcuffs before I'd read anything with a theme even remotely resembling BDSM. But having read Holiday Escort and liked it and also having been enchanted by some of the glowing reviews here on Amazon, I gave Rewind a try and actually found it far better than I ever could have imagined.Though incredibly slow to start and a bit irritating in the beginning, Julia P. Lynde's novel truly takes off after our two main characters meet and from there Rewind is simply captivating and surprisingly sweet. I'm not saying I completely get everything about relationships like the one Shane and Veronica share because I don't, but I do think that theirs in particular is as loving (if not more) than many of the ones I've read throughout lesfic this past year.The author does an amazing job of taking a rather unbelievable situation and making it fit very smoothly into the bigger plot. And Ms. Lynde gives the reader two likable women who clearly are meant to be together despite trying circumstances and an age difference those who don't understand might see as too big a gap. The ending, as with much about Rewind, is lovely and fitting for a book that shows time and time again that love is about far more than what two people happen to do in their bedroom.
