Book Review: Memory Lane by Becky Wade

This is one of the most captivating novels I have read from Becky Wade. I have not read all of her books yet, I think only 4. I will be reading the next two in this series back-to-back, starting tonight before I go to bed. I really enjoy her style of writing and will eventually get all of her book on my "read" shelf. 

Adventure from the first page! The mystery behind him being in the water almost dead, her living in a small cabin away from everyone, who he was and so many other details were slowly revealed as the story unfolded. Kept me on the edge of my seat, not wanting to stop.

Remy really wanted to help him find his family and people who knew him. Family is so important to her. That is a big theme in this book. I feel like the entire series will show that to be true. It has all three brothers, one in each book. 

Remy spends much of the book emotionally "protecting" herself from this good-looking man because his is not for her and she will get hurt if she allows herself to like him. She has some trauma that we don't find out about until a bit later. But it is WHY she won't commit or get close. YET, she is overcome with the need to help him, and it is waring inside her with the need to run as far away from him as she can get. At first, he can't do anything for himself because she dragged him out of the water with a wound on the back of his head, bruised and broken ribs AND amnesia. I enjoyed the snarky banter between them. It did get less as they got to know each other. At first, they got on each other's nerves a lot. 

Jeremiah is a man with no memory, but Remy can tell he came from money. He has a wedding ring, so she knows he is a married man. He is demanding and seems to know deep down what he likes in life. Despite the loss of his memory, he seems to know what he wants and is used to getting it. Remy does a bunch of internet searches trying to find out who he is and if his family is looking for him. When his health takes a turn for the worse, they head to the mainland for medical treatment. 

The story turns into a "murder" mystery partial way through. It is gripping and filled with amateur detective work paired with some real detectives helping out. It also has a "second chance's" theme running through it with some secondary characters. 

I'm so glad I got this book! It kept me reading even when I needed to put it down. I enjoyed it very much and it ended perfectly. I can't wait to read book 2, "Uneasy Street". Jude, his brother, is the main guy in book 2. He played a pretty big part in helping solve this murder.

*Trigger warning. There is r*pe mentioned in the book in some detail as a memory retelling. ​
