I didn’t really know what to expect when I picked up Memory Lane by Becky Wade but I’m so glad I did because I absolutely loved it. This was the first novel I read from this author any I can’t wait to enjoy more of her work in the future. 

If I was to judge this book by it’s cover I’d say it would be a cute, wholesome romance featuring a cosy cabin setting and sailing. I did not except all of the suspense, mystery and excitement. 

This story follows Remy Reed, a trauma survivor, who moved to Islehaven, Maine to escape her past and rebuild herself and her life exactly the way she wants. She definitely did not expect to be saving a man from the middle of the ocean, who had sustained serious bodily injuries but has no memory of what happened. He has amnesia. 

The two do not get along, sharing Remy’s small space is difficult and she cannot wait to find out his identity to be able return him to his family so she can get back to her life. His health takes a turn for the worse so Remy accompanies him to the mainland where his identity unravels and his memories slowly begin to return. 

This book is so exciting and easy to read, I finished it in less than two days. The author set a beautiful scene and introduced us to two beautifully complex main characters who you cannot help but to love. They have undeniable chemistry and such witty banter, like they were made for each other. We met a lot of other wonderful characters who’s stories I cannot wait to read in the rest of the series. 

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to curl up and read a unique romantic, suspenseful mystery novel set on the beautiful coast of Maine. This is categorised as a Christian Romance and while there was definitely mention of God, church and religion it wasn’t too much, which I liked. 

Thank you NetGalley the advance copy of Memory Lane by Becky Wade in exchange for an honest review. All words are my own.
