Book 3 in the Fountain Creek trilogy. I enjoyed this but not as much as books 1 and 2. Veronique seems spoiled and unappreciative of the blessings she has been given. Of course I know that's part of the journey she has to make to become the woman she eventually becomes, but I do not see how the "hero" of this romance finds that attractive. In fact, it seems he is originally attracted to her being "gorgeous" and gets rather irritated with her multiple times in the beginning of the book. Tamera Alexander is becoming one of my favorite authors but this is not her best book in my opinion.

Tamera Alexander really knows how to keep us caught in a good book! This is a story of loss, love and unspoken blessings. I highly recommand that you read this book.

This is the last book in the Fountain Creek Chronicles series. I really hate to see this series end. All of the books are amazing and have won awards! I could not put this book down! It is absolutely fantastic! The epilogue is the best I've ever read!! Tamera Alexander is easily one of my favorite authors now.

I really had a hard time with this book. It was boring to me where the first two I could not put down and read in one day. I was truly disappointed in this one.

Excellent. I started out thinking I'm not going to like this book as usually the main character type does not interest me. Well I was wrong and was wrapped up in the book before I had read a few pages. Tamera Alexander has a way with making her stories grab you. She is now one of my favorite authors.

I must confess that the blurb for this book really didn't pique my interest at first. Having read the first two books in the series already (and loving them), I wanted to finish it on a good note. A French women in a young Colorado Territory seemed like an oxymoron from the beginning, but I vowed to myself that I would give it a try.
Oh, how glad was I?! This book was beautifully written, and the French aspects â the style, the language, the reflections on the country itself, even the heroine's name â all added a unique cultural element that I was smitten with from the beginning.
What surprised me most may have been the author's willingness to include mental illness. Both Véronique and Jack had various issues with anxiety, panic attacks, feelings of inadequacy, and crippling fears that made their characters more relatable. Even through fiction, I think most readers prefer stories that have characters with flaws which reassures us that none of us are perfect.
Each book had the perfect amount of romance to set my heart fluttering, and the love story between Véronique and Jack nearly took my breath away more than once! Their chemistry was undeniable from the moment they had to discuss who could buy the wagonâ¦
It has been several years since I read the previous two books in this series, and without a doubt, this series has been wonderful from the very first page. This final book was a tad overlong (some segments could've been edited out and the story would not have suffered from it), but that doesn't keep me from giving it 5 stars. It was merveilleux!

I love Tamera Alexander's boks and her series books but Remember was not a book that kept my attention very well, I sturggle to read it. Whether it was me and things I was goign thru or whether the book really isn't as good as most of her books I am not sure, but I know it was not as good for me.
Wow, Tamera is such a gifted writer, such emotion! I loved this whole series and can't wait to read her others, keep writing and I'll keep reading.
Compared to the first two books in this series, this one was a disappointment. At times, the book seemed to be all over the place. There was too many stories/problems involved so each solution was lacking to me. It wasn't too bad but maybe this series needed a book 4....

A satisfying conclusion to the Fountain Creek Chronicles. Got a little glimpse at characters from the first two books.
After the death of her beloved mother, Veronique reluctantly leaves France to search for her father who came to America to be a miner when she was very small. She has a general area to start her search, and the letters her dad had sent her mother. So she comes to Willow Springs to begin her search and goes to the livery looking for transportation.
Jack Brennan is finally moving on after the death of his wife and young son many years ago. He decides to settle in Willow Springs and starts his own business as a freighter to all the area mining towns. He orders a special-designed wagon for his business, but when he arrives to pick it up, he discovers a problem as to who owns the wagon.
Now the adventures begin as these 2 travel to the surrounding mining towns--she in search of her father, and he making his deliveries. Be prepared for a bumpy ride!
