"When we’re young we think we can do anything, and the world is ours.
Unfortunately, most of the time that doesn’t happen. In a moment, we may make a wrong decision and do something, then regret doing it. We let people see an act and not the real us because it hurts too much if they do. They might see all the things we feel are wrong with us. Then we feel like our life is shattering all around our feet. These are some of the issues confronting the main character - Reese.
She has lost so much; can she find hope?
There’s a beautiful quote in the book which Heath says to Reese:
“God can give you beauty again for your ashes – never let go of that truth.â€
Remember Me, is a wonderful story of love and hope.
This author wrapped all this story in the wonderful message of God’s love for us, even when we think our past is too bad.
The setting for this book is in my favorite state of Oregon in a coastal town. Which, if you’ve never been, is so stunning!
Marion Ueckermann is a gifted author. She blends together vivid pictures by her words to make all the scenes come to life. So much so, I started believing there really is a Chapel Cove, Oregon. (NOT!)
The characters in this story are written in such a way they are real and believable. I’d love to meet them. Some of the characters I really got a kick reading about. Aunt Ivy is one character whom I’d love to meet. She’s spunky and full of life.
Now I can’t forget to mention this tale also has some swoon-worthy moments. Reese and Heath have a hard time not heating up the scenes too much! But what’s a romance novel without romance?
I will carry this story in my heart and smile when I think of it. I highly recommend you pick it up, also look for the next books in this series. I think we’ll all love this piece of Oregon flair.
I was given this book by the author for an honest review, all opinions are my own."

I was given this book by the author for an honest review, all opinions are my own. - Remember Me by Marion Ueckermann is the first book in Chapel Cove Romances series. Autumn MacArthur & Alexander Verde will also be contributing to this series.
I like the premise for this series. Three childhood best friends - Reese, Nia, and Kristina - grew up in Chapel Cove. As adults, each has gone their own way and lived their lives. Suddenly at the cusp of their 40th birthday (all within days of each other) they have all found themselves back in Chapel Cove for various reasons. Some would say it's fate, still others would know it's simply God handiwork to complete the plans He has for their lives.
In this book we meet all the main characters from Chapel Cove - Reese, Kristina, and Nia, although this particular book centers around Reese. Reese couldn't wait to get out of Chapel Cove to make it big as a supermodel. But then right before her 40th birthday everything blows up in her face. Reese finds herself back home. No career. No husband. No babies. Just Reese and her finalized divorce papers. Her mom is ready to set her up with the youth pastor from their church. Reese isn't even thinking about men right now though. Her entire world just collapsed and now she feels like nothing will ever go right. That point gets driven home when she accidentally runs into Heath. Sigh. Her teen crush. Her first love. And, boy, is he hot! So hot that Reese realizes maybe she should meet that youth pastor to start dating him. Anything to stop drooling over Heath. Heath is shocked to see Reese because he never stopped loving her. Even if he did never tell her. She disappeared right after the night of their first date to go to New York to become a supermodel. Through circumstances beyond their control Reese and Heath get thrown together for a day. This could be the second chance Heath has always wished for. But is it what God has planned?
Once again I am loving how Marion Ueckermann includes God in her books. I am a huge fan of Christian author's that let their characters show their faith by how they behave & talk. Ms. Ueckermann does a fabulous job of this in all her books, but I really felt it in this one. Despite having a hero that is a Pastor there are no sermons in this book. Yet, I could feel the presence of God throughout the entire book. These are the perfect books to share with my secular friends!!! They don't get turned off because it's a Christian romance. Heck, over half the time they don't even realize it until after they've finished the book.
The next thing that really struck me was the way Marion Ueckermann was given the huge task of starting this series. Not only did she writing this fabulous book, she had to lay the groundwork for the whole series! She introduced readers to the main players, the side characters, the town, and the premise behind the entire project. That's a lot to do in one book! Yet, it was done with such ease and so well. I have a good grasp on the story line concept for the series. I feel like I know Reese, Nia, and Kristina fairly well. (More Reese than the others, but I did just spend a couple few hours with her too so...) I think I am already in love with Chapel Cove. Ready to pack my bags and move there at this point! I love the side characters that I have met so far - Dr. Johnson & Aunt Ivy are such great characters. I also liked Hudson and hope I'll get to meet Hunter as well. I hope they get their own book in the series, after Nia & Kristina of course. I can't wait to meet the other town's people as the series progresses. I think the side characters have the ability to make a book really good, or can sink it. I love all the characters in this series so far.
I also thought it was great that there were references at the end of the story. Scripture references for each Bible verse, from each chapter that has the entire verse(s) that were referenced written out completely. Had I realized this was there before I started reading I probably would've spent less time shuffling between the book and my Bible. NOT that I am complaining mind you. Any excuse to crack open the Good Book. I just thought it was a great idea and a really neat addition. Now I sit here and wonder if she's done this before and I just didn't pay attention. Oh, well regardless - it's a really cool addition that I was happy to find.
I loved this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series! - Very heartwarming, although sometimes heartbreaking, story filled with renewed hope of forgiveness, healing, trust, second chances, and new beginnings. The fictional town of Chapel Cove became so vivid in my mind that I wanted to linger in it, and even wished I could visit it in real life. Any reader can relate to wondering about the "what-if's" and the "why's" that are part of the characters' struggles in this story. I love this quote "Jesus didn't react to betrayal in the way humans did. Instead of running in the other direction, not wanting anything to do with those who've lost their way, lost their first love, He went in search of them, determined to find His lost children and bring them home." This is a story that will capture your heart and imagination and will remain with you past the last word.
- Clarise, or Reese as she preferred to be called had dreams when she was 13, the major one – becoming a supermodel. She fulfilled that dream but as she comes home to Chapel Cove just before she turns 40, three other of those 5 things she was going to attain have eluded her. Heath has loved her for years and is hoping he’ll be given a chance to win her heart. Beautiful story, where we are introduced to these two, along with Reese’s best friends, Heath’s brother and a few townspeople. Looking forward to what’s ahead in this series, and who is featured and/or introduced.
- Remember Me is an inspiring start to the new series A Chapel Cove Romance. Set in Chapel Cove, Oregon Marion Ueckermann weaves a twenty seven year romance between Reese and Heath with heart breaking hiccups, second chances, and unexpected revelations into an intriguing page turning story. Does life begin at forty? As we traverse the valleys of life, “God, who is able to do more than we could ever ask or imagine†may not give us a do-over, but gives us second chances and hope. God’s mercies are new every morning.
