Review:

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I was not expecting to like so much a second chance romance. I believe that happened because Jake and Mallory weren't focused on what went wrong in the past and there wasn't any drama. The flow of the story was good and it had a good pace. These two were meant to be and now they are just trying to find a way to do that after Mallory's great-grandfather died. They didn't have a hard time finding their way back to each other and that made me read the book with joy and in an effortless way. One of the things that made the book work for me was the simple mention that both of them had been with other people, without giving us many details that were not needed nor wanted. Jake was not a manwhore and I appreciated that. 

The manwhore in the book is Sam, Mallory's brother. His story is next and it seemed interesting, from the little preview we got at the end of this book. I know that he is forced to live in Magnolia Sound and I want to see how his lady will convince him to stay. When I first saw that "Sunkissed Days" and "Remind me" would be Samantha Chase's upcoming releases, I thought that they would be a part of a two-book deal like many authors do these days. When I found out that they were the prequel and first book of the series, I was wondering about the setup and the characters, but now that I have finished Remind me I can see the setup and who the next characters to get a story will be. I hope that Colton and Mallory's mom will get a happy ending. Maybe that's the reason Mallory's mom was having trouble with the renovation. I do hope that they will either get a happy end in Sam's book or have a story of their own. 

To be honest, I was not in mood, to read a second chance romance and kept putting it off. Now that I have finished it, I can say that I was worried for no reason. The book was surprisingly good. I don't doubt Samatha Chase as an author and she is one of my favorites, but I wasn't expecting to like this book so much. I also got my answer about why Mallory and Jake didn't get back together sooner. I did not like it much, but I understood why it happened. I am recommending this book to everyone!
