I don’t do sloppy seconds—even if they are my own.
Derrick broke my heart when we were in high school. Because of him, I reinvented myself to show the world I’m stronger than ever, so no one can hurt me again. Least of all, Derrick.
Now, he’s crashed into my life again, going to the same college as me. To make matters worse, his best friend is dating my best friend, and avoiding him is almost … and avoiding him is almost impossible. Except, of course, when he’s practicing for basketball tryouts.
The more time we spend together the more I think that’s not the only game he’s playing.

This story was so good! I’m loving this series so much! There were so many layers to Derrick and Darcy and I couldn’t wait to peel them away with this book. Katrina did an amazing job telling their story and always keeping us on our toes while doing it.
After seeing Darcy’s reaction to seeing Derrick in Cruel and Beautiful World, I could not wait to see what their story was! I love that Darcy really made Derrick work to talk to her again. Loved even more about how patient Derrick was. The heartbreak these two went through, it was a lot, and once you’ve read the story you will probably feel the same as me. Sometimes women really put too many emotions and thoughts into things, because they don’t want to be hurt any more than they already are. Sometimes, they should just hear someone out. I really wish Darcy had just let Derrick talk to her earlier. To think of the life they could have been living until this point, it was sad.
I also enjoyed how their chemistry wasn’t instant again. They really showed that they worked up to what they had, and that even though it’d been a long time that spark hadn’t left. There were a few twists and turns that I absolutely loved, and I think a lot of them made a big difference in this story. I really loved how we got to see Tanya, Cami and Travis. These friends are everything to each other and I loved seeing their dynamic! I cannot wait to see what Katrina comes up with next!
Darcy was first introduced to us in “Cruel and Beautiful World,” and I’m so glad that we got to know her more in this story. She was a great secondary character who definitely deserved to have her story told…even though there were many times that I wanted to just yell at her. Derrick was perfect…even though he made mistakes. It was obvious how deeply his feelings ran for Darcy throughout the entire story. I’m a sucker for second-chance romance stories, and this one did not disappoint. Another great story from Katrina, and I cannot wait for more.
Darcy has changed her life now that she is in college and she is determined to be the very best she can be and not to be hurt any more by Derrick. He lost his football career and Darcy a year ago. However, he has ‘dusted himself off’ and set his mind to pursuing his desires – his career and regaining Darcy’s trust and love again. He knows it’s not going to be easy but that it will be worth it all if he succeeds. Beautifully written by Katrina Marie who is a new author to me. This is the fourth book in a series but was easily read as a standalone. I look forward to reading more of this series and her other books.

This book is about second chances and going after your dreams and a young woman who has to grow up more in order to forgive and move on. A well-written book that I liked reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Remember that Night is a sweet story about second chance at love.
Darcy and Derrick were dating and for a misunderstanding they had to go separate ways. After time life brings them together and they decide to clear the waters and take another chance. Their relationship is sweet and we get a HEA at the end. Also we get to see some of our favorite characters from previous books.
I love this series by Katrina Marie! Remember that Night is a sweet & cute read about young love. This isn’t the first book I have read by this author and it certainly isn’t the last. I love her writing style. I could not put this book down and definitely recommend reading this book and the rest of the series.
This is an enthralling YA story that gets to the heart of a conflict. Derrick and Darcy dated before but one date he misses leaving Darcy to rethink her feelings not only about him but boys in general. Making changes before she goes on to college she never expected to come across Derrick in one of her classes. She tries to ignore his presence but he is persistent wanting to explain himself and when her back. Is there hope when Darcy only wants to forget and put it all behind?

This was a cute book and I loved it. I loved Darcy’s geekiness I was kinda jealous of her wardrobe of geekiness shirts. Derrick for not giving up on them. It was great and amazing to see or hear from a few of the past book characters
Moving forward is a hard thing to do, moving forward after not knowing what happened, after not getting a real ending is even harder.
The trust issues and everything that comes along with them, are soul shattering and we’ll they change a person.
But what do you do when you are forced in ways to interact with the one person you never want to see again? The person who caused everything? Who made you question everything inside you? Who broke you?
Moving forward is never an easy process when there was never an end in the first place.
Darcy is not ready to forgive, nor is she ready to forget the pain. And all Derrick wants is his chance, his chance to explain that night, to win back the girl he loves.
These two are thrown back together because of some of my favorite characters from the series already!!
There are so many ups and downs so many tears spilled, but this was one of my favorite stories in this series.
This is the first time I have read any of this authors’ work, and it will certainly not be the last. This is the fourth book in this series, and is Darcy and Derrick’s story. This is a well written story, which is sweet and cure, and takes the reader on a rollercoaster journey as these two work to overcome the past. I look forward to reading more of this authors’ work and highly recommend for all readers.
For Derrick and Darcy two steps forward equals two steps back and neither one will allow themselves to be left behind. What began as young love becomes adult heartache. Learning to make one’s way in the world is hard. The journey is emotional, difficult and unstoppable. Remember That Night reminds readers about life, love and finding themselves. Take a walk down memory lane with a wonderful tale that is as relatable as it is heartwarming.
I love this sweet look at romance from a young persons eyes. Funny when you get older how little impact the small things have. However in Darcy’s defense EVERYTHING is important when your heart is involved and young love is so complicated. This is a great YA read in that it’s a clean read about young love. The complications that life can through at you. The insecurities of self which of course complicate everything, especially when your environment is shifting in this case from high school to college. Poor Derrick juggling trying to win back the girl with a late start to college and wanting to join the basketball team. He’s gonna have to bust his guns to fit everything in. Them finding their way is priceless.
Great read from this new to me author. I love her style and enjoyed the read. It’s something I wouldn’t mind my grands reading (need a few years the oldest is only 10) when they are ready to. Love that it’s a clean romance showing that love doesn’t need to be defined or clouded by sex.
This was a cute read. Darcy was hard to warm up to. She was such a pill most of the time, it was really hard to like her.
Darcy is the geeky nerd and Derrick is the basketball jock when they meet and date before the start of college. They have a big date night planned when Derrick stands Darcy up. He tries to call and text later to tell her why, but she won’t take his messages. Fast forward a year later and Derrick is going to the same college as Darcy and rooming with her best friend Cami’s boyfriend Travis. Derrick wants to get back with Darcy, but she wants nothing to do with him. When he tells he stood her up because his grandfather was in the hospital, she feels guilty and pushes him away. I didn’t like how wishy washy she was. And these college students spend too much time watching Buffy and other TV shows and playing video games. I wonder between TV time, working, and in Derrick’s case practicing for basketball, that they actually get enough studying done to pass their classes. And I didn’t understand how Darcy’s family had never met Derrick that summer before college if they were supposed to be in a serious relationship. His family knew about her, so why didn’t hers know about him?
Remember That Night is a cute, sweet, laid back read that’s easy to find yourself relaxing into. Low on the drama and very much a clean read I can safely say if you prefer your romance sweet and clean this is your new favorite book! While not quite my typical taste, Katrina Marie’s wonderful writing pulled me in and I found myself enjoying every word.
Darcy and Derrick were both pretty easy to love, flaws and all. Both young and lacking a bit in self esteem for different reasons they both grow throughout the book as they navigate their way through love. At times I did find myself frustrated by Darcy’s need to hide her “nerdy” ways and be someone she wasn’t, but truthfully while I was frustrated it made her more realistic. I think everyone goes through trying to change who they are as they grow before learning to embrace every part of themselves. Overall Derrick and Darcy have a heartwarming story that’s full of feel good warm and fuzzies.
