I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.When Hearts Remember" is my first read from Victoria Lum, and I can’t help but wonder—why am I only now discovering her work? Although it’s the sixth book in a series, it stands strong on its own. Still, it left me eager to dive into previous books from the series.
Meet Ethan and Alexis, whose love story began with letters and grew into something neither expected.
Ethan, a college intern weighed down by family expectations, never imagined falling for a pen pal. Alexis, bright and bold, was preparing for college when their weekly letters forged a deep, undeniable connection. When they finally met, sparks flew—until Ethan discovered Alexis was his best friend’s sister. Bound by loyalty, he tried to step back, but their love was too strong to ignore. For two secret years, they nurtured their bond, hearts beating quietly against the odds.
Just as they prepared to reveal their truth, tragedy struck. A devastating accident left Alexis in a coma for eight years. When she awoke, she had no memory of Ethan or their shared past.
Before the accident, Alexis’s fearless spirit lit up every page. Now quieter but fiercely resilient, she fights to reclaim her life—and herself. Ethan, who found in her someone who truly saw him, honored her dreams by visiting places on her bucket list, quietly loving her through years of silence.
When Alexis wakes, Ethan stays—supporting, encouraging, loving her from the shadows despite her forgotten memories.
Their story weaves two timelines—one full of stolen moments, the other of uncertainty and loss. Suspense and secrets add depth to a romance that’s more than just love—it’s a battle for memory, trust, and a second chance.
Ethan and Alexis’s journey is a powerful reminder that true love endures through time, silence, and even forgotten memories. Sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind cannot.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
