Every cloud has a silver lining… Marigold Riley always enjoyed spinning negative events into something positive, no matter how bad things got. She’s chipper, upbeat, outgoing, savoring every moment as a chance to grow and thrive, just like her floral shop. She was envious of the love she saw her friends shared, realizing that she would need to pursue her own chances for love by writing the … writing the mysterious Ben Watson.
Ben Watson was a no-nonsense guy with little tolerance for drama… just like his dog, Paladin. He’s driven, hardworking, and well respected by his peers for his clinical analysis of a bad situation. When Ben receives an unexpected care package from Marigold, he’s intrigued and inexplicably drawn to her radiant personality.
Will Ben’s brooding personality dim the effervescent light in Marigold’s soul? Could two opposites have a chance – even miles apart? Perhaps loving her will guide him down a path to happiness that he’s only dreamed of?

Ginny Sterling continues with bringing unlikely pen pals together and them making them more. I was hooked from the first book and have continued to binge read this series. Life has turned Ben Watson into a quiet brooding mand and Marigold’s personality is vivacious and outgoing. The question for this book is will Ben get out of his own way? Enjoyed this story.
So enjoyed! It was lovely to see Ben come out of his shell and Marigold find her Prince in Ben. I aww’d like a swooning teenager, and laughed out loud enough that my hubby wanted to know what’s so funny. If you like clean romance stories with heart, I highly recommend ‘Remember Dreams’. I received this book from the publisher. The thoughts and comments are my own.
This book is such a sweet, gentle reminder that dreams can exist for all of us, no matter what! Ben is in the military but his life changed in an instant when he was a teenager and he believes because of that moment, his life will never include happiness again. He dreams of a future that includes happiness but doesn’t feel he deserves it. Marigold presents joy and happiness to the world with her sunny disposition and cheerfulness but insides, she’s lonely and just wishes for friends and family of her own. She is asked to start writing to a soldier, just to participate in this “charity” event so she does as a way to ease her loneliness. She never dreams that it will open up a way to connect with someone else who is lonely too. These two characters were so sweet together! I very much enjoyed this book!
Every time I read a new book in this series, I think, “Wow!!!! this one tops them all!” Then, I go back and read a former one, and think, “no, this one is better.” Ginny has such a gift of writing a better story than the last one. Remember Dreams is so-o-o-o-o good!! And, the wedding scene——I didn’t think she could top the one in Remember Laughter—-but, she did. This wedding is so-o-o “dreamy” Definitely a 5 star story
Loved Marigold and Ben’s story!! Ben thinks he’s unlovable because of a tragic accident when he was younger. Marigold has an optimistic outlook on life, and when and Ben have an encounter where he knows who she is, but she doesn’t know who he is, she’s drawn to him, and feels guilty since she likes Ben. When they finally do meet, she’s confused as to why he didn’t tell her who he was. Ben finally comes to realize that he’s not unlovable, thanks to Marigold. He also learns his friends really are his friends. This is definitely one of my favorites! I really like this series!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.
A lovely addition to this series. This follows Marigold who is upbeat and loves dreaming about things. Ben is broody and hangs on to guilt. As pen pals they come to understand each other. They meet in person a couple of times and when he kisses her everything seems wonderful. But Ben runs hot and cold leaving Marigold confused. It will take Ben forgiving himself to fully give his love to Marigold. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
