REVIEW: Memory Lane by Becky Wade

Memory Lane by Becky Wade is the first book that I can remember reading by this author. It is a sweet story with twists, turns and a mystery in need of solving. Let me tell you about Remy and “Jonah’s” story.

Remy has lived through trama, to overcome it and put herself back together she moves to a remote island, keeps a small circle of friends that she trusts and keeps mostly to herself. Until one day she see a stranger struggling in the water. She rushes out to save him, but the problem is he doesn’t know who he is, where he is from, or anything about his past. The only thing he knows, and trusts is Remy.

“Jonah” (you will learn his real name later in the book) has no idea how he came to be in the water, but as he and Remy start to unravel the mystery of who he is and where he comes from, he finds that he doesn’t like or trust the family that he finds. But what he doesn’t know is that Remy has secrets herself. When those secrets become known, will it break the relationship that they have begun?

I loved the mystery within this book. You get a love story wrapped in secrets. It made the characters that much more relatable and vulnerable to the reader. A very enjoyable read that is highly recommended.

Book Info:

Publication: February 14, 2023 | Author Becky Wade | Sons of Scandal #1

After surviving a trauma several years back, Remy Reed relocated to a cottage on one of Maine’s most remote islands. She’s arranged her life just the way she wants it, spending her time working on her wood sculptures and soaking in the beauty of nature. It’s quiet and solitary—until the day she spots something bobbing in the ocean.

Her binoculars reveal the “something” to be a man, and he’s struggling to keep his head above water. She races out to save him and brings him into her home. He’s injured, which doesn’t detract from his handsomeness nor make him any easier to bear. He acts like a duke who’s misplaced his dukedom . . . expensive tastes, lazy charm, bossy ideas.

Remy would love nothing more than to return him to his people, but he has no recollection of his life prior to the moment she rescued him. Though she’s not interested in relationships other than the safe ones she’s already established, she begins to realize that he’s coming to depend on her.

Who is he? What happened that landed him in the Atlantic Ocean? And why is she drawn to him more and more as time goes by?

There’s no way to discover those answers except to walk beside him down memory lane.

Travel to the rocky coast of Maine for “opposites attract” banter, witty humor, a fascinating mystery, and destiny-changing love. This sweet contemporary romance kicks off Becky Wade’s new Sons of Scandal series!
