Blurb
Unable to find an apartment he could afford in Paris, Raphaël Diop had no other choice but to move in with the enigmatic Adrien Dupuis, a charming man with many secrets.
If cohabitation seemed like a bad idea from the start, things only got worse when Adrien acknowledged his attraction to Raphaël, making an offer difficult to resist.
But sleeping together wasn’t an option for Raphaël, not when it might cost him the only place where he could live.
Could they truly ignore their desire for each other, or could Raphaël believe that one night together might be worth risking it all?
RETURN is a bisexual romance set entirely in France. It contains MM and MF scenes. Though part of a series, it is a standalone story without a cliffhanger.
Warning for readers triggered by biphobia as well as depression.

Review
My Rating - 4.5 Stars!
Rowan Shaw's Return, is another fantastic read. The second of the Rewind series, it's easily read as a standalone.
Return centers around Adrien and Raphael, who become roommates when Raphael's looking for somewhere to live.
Adrien is one hell of a mysterious and complex character. We learn that deep down, Adrien feels worthless, and his job is his only way to feel valuable. His story is complex, heart-breaking, and extremely well done.
As a couple, Adrien and Raphael have amazing chemistry. Their story centers around bisexuality, including some MF sex, which although some readers hate having a woman involved, there's a steamy voyeuristic scene. Their story also includes a painful past, unrecognized talent, and a long lost family.

The author's writing style is great, with wonderful development, strong characters, and a fantastic flow. That said, I struggled with the female, as she just needed more development to fit into the story for me. I felt she was just a placeholder, forced into the storyline. However, the bisexuality aspect is well illustrated.
Overall, Return is a lovely, riveting story of redemption. Rowan Shaw beautifully weaves this serious, emotional story with some amazing chemistry. It's an amazing read!
