There are several unique holidays listed today! It is Electronic Greeting Card Day (I wonder who created this day), Homemade Bread Day, World Peace Day (which we need in lieu of what happened in Paris), and (this one takes the cake) Take a Hike Day! If I told someone to take a hike, I do not think they would take it the correct way! I will enjoy Homemade Bread Day with some wonderful rolls I just picked up from the bakery.
What the Heart Remembers by Bette Lee Crosby is the third book in the Memory House Collection. Annie and Oliver Doyle are happily enjoying
their home and awaiting the birth of their baby. Max (Maxine) Martinelli is Annie’s friend and
an architect. Max has been unable to
move forward with her life since she returned from Paris three years ago. When Max was in Paris she met and fell in love
with Julien Marceau. Julien was supposed
to follow Max back to the states.
Unfortunately, Max never heard from Julien again. Now Max thinks that Julien could have been in
an accident and have amnesia. That is why
he never contacted her. Max is
determined to go to Paris and look for Julien.
Annie has tried talking to Max (to get her to move on) and she has even
tried to set her up with Oliver’s old law partner, Andrew Steen. This is a journey that Max needs to go on in
order to have a future. Annie sends her
off at the airport with some special tea.
Max goes to Paris and starts
searching for Julien. Will Max find what
she is looking for in Paris? Or will she
find something even better? Join us on
Max’s journey in What the Heart Remembers.
What the Heart Remembers is a wonderful book to read. I did want to strangle Max at times, but I
understand how she feels (it is hard to get over someone). It is nice to revisit the characters in the
Memory House Collection. We get to see how
Ophelia Browne is enjoying her new life at Baylor Towers, how Oliver is doing
after his accident, and we get to find out if Annie has a boy or a girl! I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and did not
want it to end. I think this is my
favorite book from the Memory House Collection.
I give What the Heart Remembers 5 out of 5 stars. In order to enjoy What the Heart Remembers,
you really do need to read the other two books in the series (in order for
everything to make sense).
The first two books in the Memory House Collection are Memory House and The Loft. I received a complimentary copy
of What the Heart Remembers from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I am currently reading Trials and Tribulations by Rachel Dylan. I hope you have a nice and relaxing day! Take care and Happy Reading!
