Maybe Memphis is the third book in the Bishop Family series. It can be read as a standalone or in series order. Gray Kennedy had just completed an eight-year term in the U.S. Army and was ready to return home to Chicago. He had to make one quick stop in Memphis before he could be reunited with his family. For the last few years, he had held on to a promise that he’d make sure Jane Bishop and her … promise that he’d make sure Jane Bishop and her daughter were doing well once he got back to the states.
He had no friends or family in Memphis, and his only plan was to get to town, check on Jane, and head straight home to Chicago. He had no idea what he would find when he got there. He certainly wasn’t expecting it to be love.

A good read! It is well-developed, witty, funny, fast pace, and engaging. The characters are likeable; the chemistry between them is instant and off the charts. Definitely recommended!
This was a sweet love story about two people who are brought together by a a fallen soldiers letter, neither expected feeling to grow between them but from their first meeting there was a connection. I liked how Gray felt torn and confused about the impulsive decision he made when he went to Memphis but how he also knew he had to as well as how Jane felt off her game for the first time with a guy since her husband passed. But just because they have feelings for each other is isn’t smooth sailing, Jane has her hear and her daughter to think of and Gray has the job with his brother and the distance between his home and family and Memphis where Jane is. You get some good laughs, sadness and a hope along with great families who make things a little bit easier for both Gray and Jane.

Finding Love in Memphis . . .
Gray Kennedy had just completed eight years overseas in the U.S. Army and would return home to Chicago after a quick stop in Memphis to fulfill a promise. A dying soldier had written a note, clutched in his hand, asking that someone check on his wife Jane Bishop and their daughter in Memphis. Gray vowed to do that for him. He didn’t know anyone in Memphis, so this would be a quick trip.
Driving past a sign for an apartment, Gray stopped out of curiosity. Jane was expecting a potential renter for an interview and assumed Gray was Greg. She showed him the apartment and Greg stomped up the stairs, rudely demanding she rent it to him as they discussed on the phone. Gray stepped up and said he had already taken it, even if it was accidentally offered. Greg was furious and raced out of her driveway. Gray offered a year’s rent and would have this apartment whenever he popped in, even though he would mostly be in Illinois all year. But Jane loved talking with him, her daughter loved him and he promised to bring his mother’s dog to visit her. And Jane’s mom was a blues singer Gray knew about since his dad had her first album. Small world, it seems.
Gray went home to Illinois, attended the party his family gave him, then drove back to Memphis to hear Jane’s band. She had told him that was the only way he could hear her sing. He met her parents and twin brother. Her parents asked questions about what brought him there and it was awkward not telling the truth. So later when he was home with Jane, he told her why he was really there. She cried and he felt selfish for speaking up. But she was crying because he hadn’t just randomly met her and was heading toward something special with her. He was just being honorable and doing the “right” thing for Seth. It wasn’t anything he felt toward her then? Was she ready to let him leave without clarifying that to know that he told her to be honest and clear the way for whatever was starting between them? If she let him go, she would never see him again.
This was a wonderful story line where it felt like Fate was leading him in all the right directions to meet Jane. Yes, he was honorable. And it was better for him to tell her the truth. But it wasn’t selfishness. He was simply a really decent guy and up front and honest about everything. Would they get this straightened out? He had to leave early the next morning. Would he leave for a little while? Or would he leave forever?
