Synopsis

Inside every story lies more than one truth.

 

“Come, boy, I will give you a reading…show me your hands.”

 

Jeffery Rossi wants to be a man of logic but finds himself basing his life’s decisions on a prophecy delivered at the hands of an old gypsy fortune teller. The death of his beloved wife coupled with the loss of what he thought would be his carefully crafted future, have spun him onto a path of self-destruction.

 

“Three children will come from you—a king and two queens.”

 

Jeff believed he knew how his future would unravel, but he’s about to get a lesson in how the Universe works. Fate should not be left to the interpretation of mere mortals. Interfere and suffer, surrender… and let the fates help you find your destiny.

 

“No matter what you do, no matter how far away you run, what’s written in the stars cannot be undone.”

Excerpt

Chapter 3

Jeffery

“Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley

A good person, a good man, a good father wouldn’t leave his children a few days after their mother died to go hide in a secret love-shack he once kept with their biological mother. Juliet and Jacob deserve a good parent, and not a shit mess like me. I’m a worthless, empty excuse for a man without my wife, I’m nothing without Sara, and they can’t see me like this. If they look into my eyes, they’ll know I’m dead, too.

My secretary has left no less than two voicemails every fucking hour on the hour—my father-in-law, too. The whole world wants to tell me how sorry they are for me. I only check my phone to make sure it’s not my babies trying to reach me. My parents and my whole family are at my house with them, and all I can think about is how alone we are. My mind won’t let me forget about Sara—the girl I once met in a New York club on a dirty dance floor, the girl that offered to blow me as a joke, only the joke was on me. Just one kiss and she fucked me up for life, but I’d do it all over again because I owe her everything. What the fuck is wrong with me? It’s as if my heart is finally allowed to explode and all the feelings and thoughts I’ve trained my mind to keep under control are blasting out, and I can’t do anything but let it consume me. The prophecy I’ve held onto for fourteen years has waited long enough, and it begs to finally play out.

Michel’s Review

Lost In Rewind by Tali Alexander is the third book in the Audio Fools series.  I have never read any to Tali’s books and went into this book blind.  I can honestly say that I am happy that I haven’t read the previous two books in the series.  If I had read the previous books, which I will, I think they would of influenced my reactions to this story.  I think I would of had a definite negative opinion about Jeffrey.  Going into this story blind allowed me to see every facet of Jeffrey’s life and how he was influenced by uncontrollable circumstances in the past.

Imagine a fortune teller saying something about your future that hits home.  A prediction that is right on mark.  A prediction that is so believable it can’t be anything but the truth.  Like most things, there are always two sides to a story, a bigger picture in the scheme of things.  Jeffrey allowed a prediction to dictate his life.  He hung on to the hopes the prediction entailed.  Was he right to do this?  Yes and no.

In the course of fifteen years Jeffrey’s life was beyond his control.  He loved two women with all of his heart or so he thought.  By hanging onto a prediction about his future, he let that rule his life rather than living for each moment.  He missed out on gifts that life had to offer.  The special moments  he could never get back.  His actions hurt other people.  Most of all, he hurt himself.

After his wife’s death Jeffrey finally thinks he’s free.  He can finally live the life a gypsy told him would have.  What he thought was his future life has the potential to destroy him completely and destroy his children.  The gypsy had the prediction right, just not what Jeffrey perceived.

He will have to face his past, open his heart, and embrace the future.  It was written in the stars long ago.

When I first started this book I thought Jeffrey was a complete jerk.  As the pages progressed, my views about Jeffrey changed.  I was able to see a vulnerable man that had loved deeply but forgot to love himself.  He was too busy trying to pave the path he thought his life was on.  When the truth and reality hits home, he’s a lost soul.  Jeffrey is brave enough to reach out and find what really matters in life.

I will definitely go back and read the first two books in the series now that I know what a good person Jeffrey is inside.  I think if I would of known any of his story before hand I would not of read this book.  Like I said before, there are always two sides to every story.
