Review: Remember Me (Chapel Cove Romances Book 1) by Marion Ueckermann

About the Book
Welcome to Chapel Cove, Oregon, where life begins at forty.

What she most needed was right there in front of her all along.

At the age of thirteen, Clarise Aylward and her two best friends each pen a wish list of things they want to achieve. Deciding to bury a tin containing their life goals, the friends vow to unearth the metal box once they’ve all turned forty. But as the decades pass and each girl chases her dreams, the lists are forgotten.

Heath Brock has been in love with Clarise for over twenty-seven years and counting. As a young man, he’d plucked up the courage to ask her out on a Valentine’s date, but the couple succumbed to pent-up passions, sending Clarise dashing for the other side of the country.

Years after Clarise’s sudden departure, Heath serves as youth pastor. He’d held out hope of Clarise’s return, but buries his feelings for his childhood sweetheart when he learns she’s married.

Almost penniless, divorced, and with nowhere to go, Clarise returns home to Chapel Cove, her future uncertain. She’s approaching forty with her dreams in tatters. When old feelings resurface, Clarise wonders whether she’s ever really fallen out of love with Heath.

What’s the man of God to do when his old flame returns, seemingly to stay?

With Clarise back in town, Heath is determined not to repeat past mistakes, but if he has anything to say about it, never again will he lose the only woman he’s ever loved.

My Thoughts

This book, y'all! What a delightful romance that overflowed with a wonderful spiritual message! I loved it!

The whole cast of characters were so great, from the main ones to the ones in the background. They were so authentic, so real. They could be my neighbors, my friends. I felt like I really knew them. And Chapel Cove, the town they call home! What a lovely place. I'd love to live there myself, if only it were real.

If you're looking for a great, inspirational romance, Remember Me is the perfect book to pick up. I greatly enjoyed my time spent with these characters and am excited for the rest of this series.
