Author: 
It’s been 14 years since Zarah Mitchell’s heart was broken and in the blink of an eye, the love of her teenage life, Bobby Patterson, is in the same room with her again. Neither ever married, but both have a horribly wrong perspective on what really happened the summer they broke up. Now that they’re living in the same town, attending the same singles group at church, and having both of their grandparents yearning for grandchildren, fate may be working it’s magic. But when Bobby is investigating Zarah and the historic preservation society that she works for, their love will have to wait, again.
I read this book online, from NetGalley.
Where to start? This was absolutely one of my favorite love stories of all time. Both Zarah and Bobby had their hearts broken when they were young, they never healed and now they have a chance to rekindle it. It’s the kind of love story you only read about and see movies about, but Kaye Dacus made it believable for me. I am a romantic, and I’m sappy when it comes to love, but some stories I read are just too out there. This wasn’t one of them.
Dacus did a fabulous job of bringing out what’s important in life including religion, family, friends, love, values, morals. You name, it’s in this book. I cannot wait until more of the “Matchmakers” series comes out. I will definitely keep my eye out for them.
This was a very quick and fun read. It wasn’t necessarily easy. There was religion thrown in, which can be tough if you don’t know a lot about the Bible. There was also some technical stuff about the historical preservation society, that I had never even heard of and sounded like Blah, blah, blah when I read it. But, I read 250+ pages of this book on Sunday and couldn’t put it down!
I give Love Remains 5 bookmarks.

The cover is really eye-catching and the plot sounds great — especially since the love element sounds so awesome! I’m wondering how strong the religious element is in this one, though? Sometimes books with a serious Christian overtone turn me off a bit.
I definitely agree abouty the religious overtones! Most of the time I am turned off by that, but this wasn’t too over done! They attend the same singles group at the church, but that’s really as much as it has. They have meetings and what not and there are scenes at the church, but I wasn’t overwhelmed by it! You should check out NetGalley.com! There are so many free, yet to be released, books that you can read on your computer, or on Kindle/Nook etc if you would happen to have or get one of those!
