My husband and I are traveling to Maine in May. I always try to read books set where I am soon to visit, and remembered that Becky Wade has a series set on the Maine coast. The first book in her Sons of Scandal series is Memory Lane. Oh my goodness what a great read! I have no idea why I waited so long to read it, but I am glad my upcoming trip put it at the top of the TBR. The book’s premise is simple — an isolated island dwelling artist rescues a man with no memories from the sea. An uneasy friendship develops into more. But it is much more complicated that that! Main character Remy has chosen Maine to start afresh following a devastating trauma, and rich and famous Jeremiah Camden has a number of problems his mind has put out of reach. I loved the chemistry between the two — ooh how it sizzles! There are mysteries to be solved, past hurts to overcome, and faith to grow and strengthen. The supporting cast is fun, and book 2 features the second Camden brother, FBI agent Jude. I can’t wait to visit Maine in person, but first there is certainly more reading ahead with this fun series. (Please note: those who are sensitive to topics surrounding sexual abuse need to consider whether they want to read this book.)
Highly Recommended.
Audience: Adults

After surviving a trauma several years back, Remy Reed relocated to a cottage on one of Maine’s most remote islands. She’s arranged her life just the way she wants it, spending her time working on her wood sculptures and soaking in the beauty of nature. It’s quiet and solitary—until the day she spots something bobbing in the ocean.
Her binoculars reveal the “something” to be a man, and he’s struggling to keep his head above water. She races out to save him and brings him into her home. He’s injured, which doesn’t detract from his handsomeness nor make him any easier to bear. He acts like a duke who’s misplaced his dukedom . . . expensive tastes, lazy charm, bossy ideas.
Remy would love nothing more than to return him to his people, but he has no recollection of his life prior to the moment she rescued him. Though she’s not interested in relationships other than the safe ones she’s already established, she begins to realize that he’s coming to depend on her.
Who is he? What happened that landed him in the Atlantic Ocean? And why is she drawn to him more and more as time goes by?
There’s no way to discover those answers except to walk beside him down memory lane.
Travel to the rocky coast of Maine for “opposites attract” banter, witty humor, a fascinating mystery, and destiny-changing love. This sweet contemporary romance kicks off Becky Wade’s new Sons of Scandal series!
