Readers of the Windy City series will especially appreciate seeing all their favorite couples return while falling in love with Rio and Hallie's story. If you enjoy books with music-centered romance, nostalgic elements, angsty tension, and healthy relationship representation, this book delivers.

Is Rewind It Back worth reading?

Rewind It Back is worth reading, especially for fans invested in the Windy City series who want closure and Rio's complete story. Liz Tomforde describes it as "nostalgic, angsty, sweet, emotional, & complete," promising readers will "possibly shed a few tears while also falling in love with Rio and Hallie". The book offers Rio's perspective for the first time after four books of knowing him through others' viewpoints, providing deeper understanding of his character and backstory. For romance readers seeking emotionally satisfying conclusions with well-developed relationships, this finale delivers.

What trope does Rewind It Back follow?

Rewind It Back features a second chance romance between Rio and Hallie, deliberately subverting reader expectations. Liz Tomforde chose this trope because Rio appeared as the hopeless romantic desperately seeking love in books 1-4, leading readers to anticipate a "teach me" storyline. Instead, the author crafted an unexpected narrative exploring past love and reconciliation. The second chance framework allows readers to understand both characters' history within one book, making their relationship journey more emotionally resonant. This trope choice adds depth and surprise to Rio's long-awaited romantic arc.

Why is music important in Rewind It Back by Liz Tomforde?

Music serves as a central theme in Rewind It Back, directly connecting to the book's title and Rio's character. Rio has carried a boombox throughout all four previous Windy City books, establishing music as integral to his romantic identity. The title "Rewind It Back" inspired the entire storyline, with Liz Tomforde using music as the vehicle to explore Rio and Hallie's past and present relationship. Music becomes the emotional language through which their second chance romance unfolds, creating nostalgic moments and deepening the connection between past memories and present feelings.

How does Rewind It Back connect to the other Windy City books?

Rewind It Back serves as the series finale, bringing together all favorite couples from the previous four Windy City books. Readers can expect appearances from characters introduced in Mile High, The Right Move, Caught Up, and Play Along, creating satisfying closure for the interconnected storylines. While Rio has been a beloved supporting character carrying his signature boombox through each book, this novel finally provides his perspective and backstory. The found family dynamics that define the Windy City series remain central, making this both a standalone romance and a culminating celebration of the relationships built throughout the series.

What can readers expect from Rio's character in Rewind It Back?

In Rewind It Back, readers finally experience Rio from his own perspective after knowing him only through other characters' viewpoints in books 1-4. Liz Tomforde particularly enjoyed writing Rio's POV, sharing his backstory and inner thoughts to provide deeper understanding of the hopeless romantic who carried a boombox throughout the series. His character reveals unexpected layers beyond the love-seeking persona readers knew. Rio's journey explores vulnerability, past heartbreak, and what it means to get a second chance at the love that shaped him, transforming him from supporting character to fully realized romantic lead.

Kapitel 1

When the Past Comes Knocking at Your Door

Rio DeLuca can't believe his eyes when he spots her at his hockey game-Hallie Hart, the girl next door he once loved with his whole heart, now watching from the stands. Six years of carefully constructed distance crumbles in an instant. For Hallie, seeing Rio again was the very thing she'd been dreading since moving to Chicago. The boy who broke her heart is now a professional hockey player, living next door to her new roommate, and-in a twist of fate that feels like the universe laughing-her newest interior design client. As they navigate the delicate dance of their reunion, both must confront the question: What happens when your first love reappears in your life, carrying both the weight of unresolved heartbreak and the promise of what might have been?

Kapitel 2

The Girl Next Door and the Boy with Dreams

Rio and Hallie's story began on a sun-drenched summer afternoon when Hallie moved in next door to Rio's childhood home. Their first encounter captured the essence of twelve-year-old innocence - Rio showcasing his wobbly rollerblading attempts on the sidewalk while Hallie celebrated her birthday amidst moving boxes and party streamers. The serendipity of their meeting would later become one of those moments Hallie immortalized in her signature mixtapes. What set Hallie apart wasn't just her warm smile or her infectious laugh, but her unique relationship with music. She meticulously created mixtapes to commemorate every significant moment in her life, a practice she affectionately called "rewinding back." Each tape held carefully selected songs that captured the emotions, the atmosphere, and the subtle nuances of particular experiences. She labeled each one with precise dates, decorated with her distinctive handwriting and small drawings that hinted at the memories contained within. Their friendship blossomed in the space between their houses, particularly on the connecting rooftops that became their private sanctuary. These rooftop conversations, illuminated by starlight and street lamps, evolved into a nightly ritual. They would lie back on blankets, sharing their deepest fears and grandest dreams while watching planes trace paths across the night sky. At thirteen, during one of these rooftop sessions, Rio revealed his vulnerability about hockey - his passion since he first stepped onto the ice at age six. Despite his dedication to early morning practices and endless drills, he worried he wasn't good enough to pursue his dreams professionally. Hallie listened intently, then turned to face him with fierce determination in her eyes. "You're going to play for the Boston Bobcats one day," she declared, not as a mere encouragement but as an undeniable truth. Her unwavering faith in him became the foundation of his resilience. That same night, Hallie shared her latest mixtape, labeled "thirteen" with her trademark H and a carefully drawn heart. As she explained each song's significance, her eyes lit up with the joy of sharing these personal moments. When she mentioned track seven commemorated when Kevin Mitchell from their English class told her he liked her, Rio felt an unfamiliar tightness in his chest. His response - "I know for a fact it wasn't the first time someone liked you" - carried weight beyond his years, though he couldn't yet fully articulate his emerging feelings. These foundational years shaped the core of their relationship: Rio's relentless pursuit of hockey excellence fueled by Hallie's steadfast support, her artistic soul expressed through carefully curated soundtracks of their lives, and the deep understanding that grew between them. The rooftop became more than just a meeting place - it transformed into the stage where their love story quietly unfolded, marked by shared confidences, unspoken feelings, and the promise of something deeper than either could imagine at such a young age.

Kapitel 3

From Friendship to First Love

At sixteen, Rio and Hallie's relationship transformed from friendship to romance in ways neither had fully anticipated. The shift began at Hallie's birthday party, where she casually mentioned declining a prom invitation from Jason Martinez because she was "Rio's girlfriend" - a statement that left Rio momentarily speechless since they hadn't officially defined their relationship. His initial shock quickly dissolved into a warm certainty as he confirmed that's exactly what he wanted. Following their long-standing tradition, Hallie presented him with her sixteenth mix CD, carefully curated with songs that captured their evolving relationship. After several nervous false starts and shared glances, Rio finally gathered his courage and kissed her beneath the string lights on her back porch. Together they chose "Northern Wind" by City and Colour to commemorate this milestone, marking the precise moment their childhood friendship blossomed into something deeper. By seventeen, their bond had grown into something neither could imagine living without. On prom night, Rio made an unexpected return from his hockey tournament in Denver, showing up at Hallie's door with a split lip and bruised jaw - battle scars from a confrontation with her protective older brother Luke. Luke had thrown the first punch after Rio confessed his love for Hallie during an intense conversation in the family kitchen. "I've loved you since I was twelve," Rio admitted that night on their familiar rooftop spot, where they'd spent countless hours stargazing and sharing secrets. No longer content with keeping their relationship confined to stolen moments and careful boundaries, Rio invited Hallie to stay the night at his empty house. Despite their mutual nervousness about taking this intimate step together, the decision felt natural and inevitable. "I'm glad it's you," Hallie whispered in the quiet darkness of his room, to which Rio responded with words that would become their personal mantra: "It's always been you, Hallie." Their romance continued to deepen through their final year of high school and into their early college years, weathering the challenges of different class schedules and Rio's demanding hockey training. At twenty, with Rio's hockey career gaining serious momentum and NHL scouts regularly attending his games, he made a life-changing request during a late-night drive home from practice: "If I get picked up by a team, will you go with me?" He painted a vivid picture of their future together - a spacious house in whatever city claimed him, Hallie attending his home games wearing his jersey number, building their life as partners in a new city. Hallie agreed without hesitation, her answer ready before he'd even finished asking: "We both know it's going to be us in the end. What's the point in wasting time?" Together, they spent hours dreaming of their future home - a large Colonial-style house with plenty of room for children, white walls Hallie would transform through her first professional interior design project, and a dedicated space for Rio's hockey memorabilia. The future seemed perfectly mapped out, their path together as certain as the stars they'd watched together since childhood.

Kapitel 4

The Devastating Betrayal

Just as Rio and Hallie were planning their move to Chicago for his hockey career, their world imploded. Two weeks before everything fell apart, Hallie received devastating news: her father had been diagnosed with cancer. While processing this shock, she made an even more horrifying discovery-walking into Rio's house to find her mother emerging from his parents' bedroom, clearly having an affair with Mr. DeLuca. When confronted, Hallie's mother admitted the affair had been ongoing since the previous fall. She begged Hallie not to tell anyone, manipulating her with the claim that the revelation would "kill" her already sick father. Trapped in an impossible position between loyalty to Rio and fear for her father's health, Hallie remained silent for two agonizing weeks. The situation exploded when Mrs. DeLuca discovered the affair herself. In the aftermath, when Rio learned that Hallie had known and kept quiet, his sense of betrayal was overwhelming. "Get out," he told her, unable to see past what he perceived as her choosing her mother over their relationship. What Rio didn't understand was the impossible choice Hallie faced-protecting her cancer-stricken father or warning the boy she loved about his father's infidelity. Mrs. DeLuca, devastated by her husband's betrayal, pressured Rio to end the relationship entirely, unable to bear seeing her son with the daughter of the woman who had hurt her. "He was all I had left," she would later explain to Hallie. In her pain, she viewed Hallie as complicit in protecting her mother, unaware that Hallie had been just as victimized by the situation. This perfect storm of misunderstanding, betrayal, and poor timing tore apart what had seemed an unbreakable bond. Rio left for Chicago alone, beginning his professional hockey career with a broken heart, while Hallie stayed behind to care for her father through his cancer treatment, shouldering enormous financial and emotional burdens without the support of the one person she had always counted on.

Kapitel 5

Six Years of Separation

For six years, Rio and Hallie lived separate lives despite the invisible thread that continued to connect them. Rio threw himself into his hockey career with the Chicago Raptors, achieving professional success while maintaining emotional distance in his personal life. Though he dated occasionally, these relationships never progressed beyond superficial connections-none of the women were Hallie, and he couldn't bring himself to truly open his heart again. What no one knew was that Rio had never been intimate with anyone else in those six years. "I've only ever been with you," he would later confess to Hallie. Despite his attempts to move on, he kept physical reminders of their relationship close-preserving her mixtapes and CDs in a black box, maintaining his old boombox just to play them, and even changing his jersey number from 83 (his birthday, August 3rd) to 38 (Hallie's birthday, March 8th) when he joined the Chicago team. Meanwhile, Hallie's life took a drastically different turn than she had planned. Instead of pursuing her interior design career, she put her education on hold to become her father's caregiver through his cancer treatment. Taking on enormous debt to finance experimental treatments not covered by insurance, she worked multiple jobs-often as a bartender-to stay afloat financially. Her brother Luke, focused on his own family, left Hallie to handle the burden alone. Like Rio, Hallie never became involved with anyone else during their separation, unable to move past what they had shared. Both carried misconceptions about the other-Rio believed Hallie had betrayed his trust by siding with her mother, while Hallie assumed Rio had simply moved on with his life and forgotten her. Neither understood the full complexity of what had torn them apart, and pride prevented either from reaching out to bridge the gap. They existed in parallel lives, each carrying the weight of what might have been, until fate intervened to bring them back into each other's orbit.

Kapitel 6

An Unexpected Reunion

The universe has a peculiar sense of humor, as evidenced by Rio and Hallie's shocking reunion. During a hockey game, Rio delivered a crushing hit against the boards, only to lock eyes with Hallie through the glass. Time seemed to stop as they stared at each other in disbelief-Rio stunned to see the girl he'd never forgotten, Hallie frozen as she studied how different he looked from the boy she once knew. Their worlds collided further when Rio discovered a dark green Nissan Altima-identical to the Hart family car from Boston-parked at his neighbor Wren's house. His suspicions were confirmed when he confronted the woman unloading boxes: Hallie Hart was not only in Chicago but living next door as his neighbor's new roommate. The tension between them was palpable as they realized the extent of their entanglement-Hallie was also the interior designer Rio had unknowingly hired to renovate his home. "You can't live next door to me," Rio demanded, the pain of their past evident in his voice. But Hallie had no other options until May, creating an unavoidable proximity that would force them to confront their unresolved feelings. Their professional relationship began on shaky ground, with Rio initially refusing to let Hallie design his home renovation despite her desperate plea that she needed this project to secure her dream job. "I don't want you in my house daily for six months after thinking I'd never see you again," he stated firmly. Yet during their conversation, they slipped momentarily into their old playful banter about his "classic" boombox and her teenage obsession with boy bands, revealing how easily they could fall back into their former connection. This brief glimpse of their old dynamic troubled Rio, who admitted, "Five minutes and it feels like that again, like nothing happened." Despite his initial resistance, Rio's lingering "soft spot for Hallie Hart" prevailed, and he texted her later: "You start tomorrow." With this simple message, he opened the door to rebuilding what they had lost, setting in motion their journey back to each other.

Kapitel 7

Navigating New Waters

As Rio and Hallie cautiously resumed their connection, they struggled to define their new relationship. During a design meeting at Rio's house, he revealed he was considering selling to potentially move back to Boston if they made him an offer during free agency-a childhood dream he'd never abandoned. When Hallie instinctively drew her signature heart with its distinctive flick at the end in her notebook, Rio touched it reflexively, triggering powerful memories for both of them. These moments of connection were frequently followed by retreats into defensiveness. After one particularly cutting remark from Rio about their past, Hallie packed her things and left, telling him she'd rather preserve her memories of "the sweet neighbor boy I loved" than deal with this version of him. Rio later apologized, admitting, "I've only ever been one way with you, and now I'm having to constantly remind myself that we aren't those people anymore." They decided to start over, recreating their first childhood meeting with an introduction and handshake that sent unexpected electricity through both of them. Their professional relationship provided structure as they navigated these complicated waters. Rio explained his vision for his home renovation, repeatedly asking which options Hallie would choose if it were her house, deliberately blurring the lines between professional and personal. He ultimately selected designs based on her preferences-deep greens, creams, and natural wood tones-revealing how much her opinion still mattered to him. Small gestures began rebuilding their trust: Rio driving Hallie home when her car wouldn't start, turning on music-their familiar form of communication-when words failed them, and even taking a longer route to let her rest when she fell asleep in his truck. When Hallie needed to meet Rio on the road to discuss design decisions, he arranged for her to fly out to him, showing his willingness to prioritize her needs despite the complications of their past. These interactions revealed how much of their connection remained intact despite years apart. As they slowly lowered their defenses, the question wasn't whether feelings still existed, but whether they could overcome the hurt and misunderstandings that had separated them for so long.

Kapitel 8

Reawakening Desire

The physical attraction between Rio and Hallie had never truly disappeared, and as they spent more time together, it became increasingly difficult to ignore. After an evening of babysitting his friends' children together, Rio fell asleep with his head on Hallie's thigh. When he woke and followed her outside, he pulled her into a desperate hug, whispering, "I missed you, Hallie." The moment intensified as he cradled her face, their foreheads touching, lips nearly meeting. Though Hallie pulled back, saying, "I'm glad we're able to be friends," the desire between them was undeniable. Their restraint finally broke after Rio watched Hallie bartending. When she asked why he stayed all night drinking water, he simply repeated, "I already told you, Hal. I missed you." Later that night, they shared their first kiss in six years against Hallie's front door-a passionate reconnection that felt natural despite their time apart. "I missed this, Hal," Rio breathed, begging her not to stop touching him. Though the moment ended with Rio leaving before things progressed further, it marked a turning point in their reunion. During a business trip to New York, they shared a hotel room where their conversation turned serious. Hallie admitted her fear of wanting Rio again after he "left and forgot" about her-a misconception he quickly corrected, explaining he'd tried desperately to forget her but couldn't. When physical intimacy began to escalate, Rio stopped to ask if she'd consider giving their relationship another chance. Unable to commit fully, Hallie suggested they could still have physical intimacy without commitment, but Rio refused-he couldn't separate sex from emotional connection. This emotional honesty continued to build, culminating in an intimate phone call while Rio was on the road with his team. Unable to sleep, he guided Hallie through phone sex, describing what he'd do if they were together. In the vulnerable aftermath, Hallie admitted, "I missed you, Rio," suggesting that he might not have to keep missing her much longer. This gradual reawakening of desire paralleled their emotional reconnection, each step bringing them closer to reclaiming what they had lost.

Kapitel 9

The Truth Unravels

The final pieces of their complicated puzzle fell into place when Hallie's father was hospitalized in Minnesota. Despite having an important game in Boston, Rio took a "family emergency" day and caught the first flight to be by Hallie's side. "I couldn't care less about that game right now," he told her when she protested. His presence gave Hallie permission to be vulnerable in a way she never had been before. "I've never had anyone here before," she confessed, to which Rio responded with regret, "You should've had me." During this crisis, Rio met with Luke and learned about Hallie's sacrifices over the years. In a private conversation with Mr. Hart, he discovered the full extent of what Hallie had endured-quitting school, working odd jobs, and handling everything alone while caring for her father through cancer treatment. When Rio asked when Mr. Hart was first diagnosed, the answer hit him like a physical blow: it was the same summer everything fell apart between them. Confronting Hallie with this knowledge, Rio was devastated to learn she had discovered her father's diagnosis just two weeks before he left for training camp-the same period when their relationship imploded over the affair. "You weren't yourself those last two weeks," he realized, having assumed her distance was solely about his father's affair. The truth was far more complex: Hallie had been terrified about her father's illness while simultaneously trapped by her mother's manipulation regarding the affair. "I left you to deal with all of that on your own," Rio acknowledged, heartbroken by his failure to see beyond his own pain. When he insisted she should hate him, Hallie revealed the black box of mixtapes she'd found in his closet. "I know you didn't forget about me," she said softly. Rio explained why he'd kept his old boombox: "I didn't have any other way to play the tapes and CDs, and not playing them wasn't an option." This mutual understanding cleared the final barriers between them. Rio poured his heart out, explaining that while their mistakes had changed them, in many ways they remained the same. When Hallie suggested his feelings might just be a "first-love thing," he stepped closer and told her, "No, baby. It's a last-love thing." Their reconciliation culminated in the confession they'd both been waiting to hear: "It's always been you."

Kapitel 10

Coming Full Circle

The final pieces of Rio and Hallie's journey back to each other revealed the depth of their connection. In an intimate confession, they discovered neither had been with anyone else during their six years apart-a testament to the enduring power of their bond. "I've only ever been with you," Rio admitted, explaining he couldn't bear to be with anyone else when all he thought about was her. To his surprise, Hallie revealed the same truth, both laughing at their mutual stubbornness before finally reuniting physically as well as emotionally. As their relationship solidified, Rio invited Hallie to one of his games against Boston, presenting her with a jersey bearing his name and number. When she saw him during warmups, he made their special heart sign with his hands, prompting his teammate's wife to observe, "That boy is so in love with you." This public acknowledgment of their relationship marked how far they'd come from the secrecy and pain of their past. The final hurdle in their reconciliation involved Rio's mother, who had pressured him to end the relationship years ago. Without telling Rio, Hallie traveled to Boston to meet with Mrs. DeLuca, determined not to be the reason for their estrangement. During this emotional conversation, Hallie explained how she'd been manipulated by her mother and paralyzed by fear for her father's health when she discovered the affair. Mrs. DeLuca, who had believed Hallie was protecting her mother all those years, finally understood the impossible position the young woman had been in. "I was always on your side," Hallie assured her, revealing that her family hadn't spoken to her mother in years. This healing conversation lifted the weight between them, with Mrs. DeLuca inviting Hallie to stay for dinner. On Hallie's birthday, Rio surprised her with a playlist he'd been creating since October-songs marking their important moments together since reuniting. But his biggest surprise was the revelation that he'd signed a contract extension with the Chicago Raptors rather than fulfilling his childhood dream of playing for Boston. "We lost six years, and I'm not missing another day of you again," he explained. The house he'd asked Hallie to design had always been meant for them to share-their dream home, together at last. Two months later, during a housewarming party in their beautifully renovated home, Rio reflected on how Hallie had transformed the space from a hockey "frat house" into a warm, inviting family home. When his mother visited, she revealed she was dating Rio's uncle Mikey-finding happiness after her own heartbreak. Though she chose to remain in Boston rather than move to Chicago as Rio suggested, she expressed hope that one day he would bring her grandchildren to see the house where he and Hallie first fell in love-completing the circle of their story where it began.
