About REMIND ME

It’s been years since Mallory Westbrook set foot in Magnolia Sound, but the death of her great-grandfather forces her back. Two weeks to get his affairs in order then she would return to her life in New York. The perfect plan, if not for Jake Summerford—her first love who broke her heart. Jake always regretted the way things ended with Mallory and now that she’s back in town, he’s hoping they can put the past behind them. As they reconnect, old feelings resurface and Jake realizes that friendship is only the beginning of what he wants from Mallory. With one foot out of the door, Mallory is looking for any excuse to leave Magnolia Sound behind. Forever. Will Jake’s plan to replace the old, painful memories help him finally show her their love deserves another chance?

My Thoughts…

I devoured this book.   These characters are sweet, real, and heartbroken.    Years ago Jake and Mallory fell in love during a summertime romance and their hearts have never been the same.    They parted ways, not on the best of terms.   A storm is set to hit Magnolia Sound, the place of summer love, and her great-grandfather dies forcing her to return to the place where she met her first love.  

This book is a second chance romance book.   I had read the book before this one and knew what the characters had gone through to get where they were in their current lives.    The best thing is that the first book didn’t have to be read to know these characters.   Samantha tells their story perfectly.    She lets the readers in on what they had to give up to get where they were in life.  She didn’t give them perfect lives but she gave them both lives that they had to work to achieve.     They both  knew they were missing something important and there was no doubt what it was.  

I love how Jake was pushy.   He didn’t let Mallory put him off, he didn’t let it be a week long fling, and he didn’t accept that she could go back to New York and live her life being happy without him.    Yet, he let her find her way.   He accepted that she had to make her own decisions he just helped her to make the decisions that led to the two of them coming together.     I also loved how Mallory was careful.   Her heart was broken the first time they came together and she had to do what she could to protect it this time.
