Jeremy Slade has it a job he wouldn't trade for the world, a house he built with his own two hands, and the perfect woman who would become his wife. He always has plans drawn out, but life doesn't always follow along with them. Sometimes even the best constructed plans can change without warning. Jade Foxton does whatever she can to avoid being noticed. She is content to stay behind the camera, snapping photos of other people's memories. After watching all her friends find love, Jade realizes the only way she is going to meet a man is to step out from behind the lens and meet him face-to-face. Mutual friends and an assignment bring Jeremy and Jade together. What starts out as strictly professional soon develops into something unexpected. Keeping their relationship light is what the two of them decide, but life has a different idea in mind.
Finding Memories is my first book by Becca Taylor and I am officially hooked. I fell in love with the story of Jeremy and Jade. I was in hysterics throughout the book - the banter between the two had me in stitches laughing.
How I love Jade! She is a girl after my heart - a camera attached to her at all times to capture those memories so they aren't forgotten. Jeremy wasn't so bad himself 😊.

Becca Taylor, I loved Finding Memories. Behind all the sexiness and drama in the book was a great message about hope and taking the good with the bad. Life comes with struggles and it's how you handle those situations that says what kind of a person you are. Finding Memories is a sweet, sexy, down to earth, funny, read and should be one-clicked today. You will not be disappointed!
I loved this series! Finding Memories was an amazing book. You went on a journey with all the other characters in the series and Jade was always there but she always seemed so lonely. When this book finally came I was so happy that Jade would finally be getting her story too! Jade is just sweet as can be and Jeremy is hot Mr. Fix It. Their story has a few bumps and an unconventional beginning relationship but that's what makes the story unique and fun. I loved getting to know all the characters throughout the series and cannot wait to see what Becca Taylor is going to write next!
Jeremy and Jade. He's a building contractor and she's a photographer. He's had his heart broken and she wants to break free and try online dating. Jeremy tries his hardest to dissuade Jade from the online dating but she isn't to be swayed. So they kind of do it together. Then enter his ex, who wants to be his current and you have a very interesting situation! Lovely finale to the series. The whole group of friends will be missed! I have SO enjoyed reading these books!
Finding memories by Becca Taylor a fabulous five-star read. This is the forth book in the Breaking Free series, and it’s a great book.

Finding Memories (Breaking Free Series Book 4) By Becca Taylor
This book is a beautiful addition to the Breaking Free Series. In this story we are reintroduced to Jeremy and Jade. Both are friends from the characters in the other Breaking Free books. This story provides an up close look at these characters. You find out about the hurts and challenges both face due to past relationships. This is a sweet friends to lovers story that has some interesting twists and turns in it. What I really loved about this story is how REAL it felt. It explores all the in betweens of how a relationship develops in such an honest way but don't get me wrong, you still get nice steamy parts. Jeremy and Jade definitely provide some spiciness (wink wink). I also enjoyed the quirkiness of the characters and how funny they were. I had several laugh out loud moments in this book. This author really excels at the intertwining of her individual books so they can be read on their own without issue. But if you read them as a collective, emotionally it just feels bigger. For me each book is a big piece to a puzzle. They have their own spot, providing a beautiful picture individually but when you put them all together, well the view is spectacular. It definitely gave me a big burst of the feels (haha). It was wonderful how this author really provided a chance to get caught up with the characters from the other books. Her words at the end felt poetic and brought everything together so nicely. I SO recommend this book and if you have a chance read the others, you won't be disappointed. Happy Reading!!!!
I'm so in love with Becca Taylors books I have to read every one of them Finding Memories has got to be my favorite and that is some tough competition . Jeremy / superman and Jade / foxy are so adorably sexy they'v both been burned in the past and they are just what the other are looking for , they have off the charts chemistry with a side of witty banter , adorable nicknames , and hot hot HOT sex . Jeremy is such a dream guy total lust after this hero he's funny ,protective , good with his hands in more then one way , and a dirty talker that will leave you breathless . Jade is just amazing extremity talented , funny , and I have a major girl crush on her . It's so awesome to see how that gang are doing the epilogue made me so giddy I was very close to tears it was such a beautiful ending . The little tease we get of Beccas next book had me happy because I can not wait to read it , if you haven't had the chance to read any of this authors books I highly recommend that you do . copy provided for honest review **************************************** hero = 10 heroine = 10 secondary characters = 10 Chemistry = 10 steam = 9 romance = 9 humor = 9 darkness level = 2 enjoyment =10 angst = 2 action =3 story line = 10 mystery = 2 character development = 10 pacing = 10 Plot = 10 cover = 10 stars = 5 author = 10 would I recommend this book = yes would I re read this book = yes would I read future books by this author = yes
This is my favorite book out of this series. Jeremy gets his heart broken when his girl friend of 2 years goes on a business trip and meets and old flame and decides to see if they have a future. Of course we know she realizes her mistake and will be back later to beg for another chance. Jade had her whole future planned out with her older boy friend, marriage and children. What she didn't realize is that he had other plans. She see's he is not her future and moves on. For years she has hid what she wants in a relationship. She really doesn't stand out at all in the other books in this series. She is more the silent friend who takes pictures to capture their memories. When she find out her ex is getting married and expecting she is heartbroken. Not over him but as to why he couldn't commit to those with her. Since she is working on a project with Jeremy she makes a deal with him to give them both something they are missing out on. A friends with benefits situation with a LOT of rules. Of course neither of them are at the stage in their live for one night stand and rules were made to be broken. The one thing I am disappointed about is JOSH! Where is his HEA? Why wasn't there an extra friend for him. Even Dani who wasn't a main character got her HEA with Logan but Josh was a big part of the book and we get nothing.
This might be Becca's best book yet (and that's saying a lot because I loved Brantley!)
Jeremy Slade is one in a million - owning his own construction company has given him a lot so he decides to give back the only way he knows how. He recruits his team to rebuild and transform an old delapdated building into a sanctuary for young kids to chill and hang out rather than get themselves in trouble. What he didn't count on when he took on the challenge was the local intrest his venture would bring.
Enter Jade Foxton - the shy, quite, photographer who would be happiest hiding behind the lens rather than being the star of the show.
Why people think the whole friends with benefits thing will work is beyond me. But with Jade and Jeremy both determined to keep their hearts with the very definite "Unavailable" status, it's all they can offer each other. Friendship and Fun.
I loved the characters interaction in this book because it was just so real. Not just the emotions and the words they say, but the clumsiness and the honesty. Becca's done a brilliant job!
I haven't read any of the previous books in this series, but I didn't feel lost at all This is definitely a stand alone as each book focuses on a different couple in a group of friends.
Jeremy has life all figured out and has plans, he just needs to put a ring on her finger....only one conversation later and it never happens. Jade has always stayed in the background but after seeing her friends find love she decides to step out from behind her camera.
This is the beginning of the story between Superman, Foxy and project Screw Drive Her! There are some great moments and some not so great moments. Sometimes what you want can be right in front of you, you just need to open your eyes. Sometimes what you need is exactly what you have, you just have to open your mouth and say the words. This is a story about living life and making memories.
What I really enjoyed about this book is that we see glimpses of everyday life, but the story does not get bogged down in the details. It is a perfect blend. I will definitely be going back to get the others stories.
What a way to end this series and it breaks my heart to see the characters end as this book is so good. You follow Jeremy and Jade on their journey to find what was right in front of them the whole time. This book will keep you reading til you hit the last page. You really get to feel the struggle and chemistry that these two have between them the struggle of the past and the chemistry for the future it really gives you that feeling of being right there with the characters. Feeling their ups and downs as they come to realize that sometimes love has been their in front of you all along. love how this author gets you so invested you get lost in the pages. You also get to peek in on some of your favorite characters from past books. You get to know how the future goes and i love when authors do that it gives you that peaceful feeling. If you want a book that will capture you heart and take you along with the characters this is definitely for you.
This book is the perfect conclusion to the the Breaking Free Series. Becca Taylor quickly developed a family the readers could join and watch as each character falls in love or deal with broken pasts. Finding Memories follows the same line but with a twist. Jeremy deals with a broken heart, and a distaste for the dating scene and Jade decides it's time to have a little fun and tries out the online dating world. Both bumble around and choose a little "friends with benefits" action would not break any of the rules each has set for their dating paths. Of course, this kind of package can end in devastation as lines are drawn and blurred, and rules are broken. Or the devastation can become a break in the dark clouds. Becca Taylor completed this installment with an ending that pulls the whole series together and gives the reader a sense of awe and completion without the feeling of being left in the dark and questions left unanswered. A total 5-star worthy read!
A memorably sweet, endearing romance that sweeps you off your feet and leaves you feeling soft and happy by the end of it. Becca Taylor did it AGAIN folks! Finding Memories was just as AMAZING, charming, sexy, appealing and oh so tempting as her previous stories. Jade and Jeremy are such a sweetheart couple. They have chemistry in spades, wonderful personalities and they seemed to just...fit. I couldn't stop myself from once again falling head over heels for the story!
Other than great romance, you have decadent heat, and just a pinch of heart. It fills my heart with happiness and makes things seem so light. I got lost in this story and I can't ask more than that. Its a good written story with a romantic storyline that is sure to please.
Finding Memories gets a DECADENT FIVE SHOOTING STARS!
Another great book in the series. They are all must reads. Jeremy thinks he has found the one and she breaks his heart. Jade isn't ready for a relationship but wants to get out there. When they make a deal between friends, they think they can keep it going without feelings involved. Not so much... This book will make you laugh, swoon, and cry. ( maybe it was just me) lol Jeremy is one of the loyal, sweet, sexy, guys every girl would love to have. Jade is sweet, funny, don't know her beauty kind of girl that does for others before herself. Jeremy helps bring her out of her shell and makes her see what's she's missing. High recommend all books by this author. I received a advanced copy for a voluntary honest review.
Jade and Jeremy have been in the same circle of friends for years. They recently began working on a project together and soon begin to realize that they enjoy spending time together. As each day passes they begin to see each other in a different light. Jade finally decides that her love life needs a boost and joins an bon line dating app. She asks Jeremy to be her savior in case she needs an out. Much to his surprise he joins the app too so that he can make sure that she is safe. One night of speed dating, no suitable matches and realizing that they would rather sit and talk to each other is the beginning of friends with kind of benefits! I fell in love with each of these characters on their own but together they were awesome. ~~Michele McMullen ~~
Jeremy and Jade mutual friends from the crowd they hang out with are now single and loners struggling to find that one person that completes them.Jade hides behind her camera until she cant take anymore and steps up to look for that one person that maybe be able to complete her tired of being alone.Jeremy throws himself into woodworking to hide his life until they start hanging out and things take an unexpected turn and things progress slowly.They have amazing chemistry together.The story is amazing and very well written I enjoyed seeing the ups and downs of their story and you could feel their pain and then happiness that fate dealt them and pulled them together.I voluntarily read a readers copy of this book
Another awesome book in this series. Not only do we get to see our favorites from the previous books, but we also get another amazing love story. Jade and Jeremy’s story unfolds like the others with beautiful writing, a great friendship and finding love when you least expect it. Jade is the quintessential shy girl and Jeremy is the outgoing yet heartbroken male lead that you can’t help but love. I loved the humor in this the story. The author is great with descriptions, dialogue, and writing. While each book can be read as a standalone, I suggest reading them in order so that you can meet these characters from the beginning and watch them all evolve. I can’t wait to see what she gives us next. 4 Stars #2OCCJD
Jade and Jeremy are a wonderful couple to to follow on their journey to finding memories and love.
Jade is smart, sassy, sexy, heart on her sleeve, and had a wonderful personality.
Jeremy is an alpha male, hard working, and down right sexy.
Together they have explosive chemistry and a special bond that starts as a friendship. The ups and downs they each go through make their relationship that much stronger.
I absolutely loved the characters in this book, and in this series.
Becca Taylor you did it again and created an amazing story in your Breaking Free Series. Finding Memories is Jeremy and Jade's story, Jeremy is all alpha male, sexy and hurting from a break up and Jade is sweet, beautiful but is looking for some fun...its a beautiful journey these two characters in love, life and making good memories with each other. If you haven't read Breaking Free Series I suggest you give each book a try but Finding Memories is one of my favorites of this series. Happy Reading!!!!
This is Book 4 in the "Breaking Free" Series. I really enjoyed this book! Highly entertaining!
Jeremy Slade and Jade Foxton are great together. Both characters are well done and I fell in love with them.
Jeremy owns a construction company. Jade is a photographer. jeremy starts a project to help kids and they end up working together. They start as friends. None of them wants to get attached after having bad experiences but sometimes things are not as we planned them... Interesting story!
I should have given 1 star but an extra for effort. I didn't realize it was a narrative or I would have passed. That's just me. Four pages in and the "f bomb was apparently going to be his favorite word. I'm not a prude by any means, have used the word myself over the yrs and have tried to extricate it from my vocabulary.....and succeeding. I see no need, even to express angry or frustration. There are more interesting words, so "thug" like.
This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it so much I will be reading more in the future. In this story we have Jeremy and Jade who are in the same group of friends and who have also both been burned by the other person in thier last relationships. What makes things harder for both Jade and Jeremy is that almost all of the rest of the friends have found someone they are happy in love with. Life events put both Jeremy and Jade together over and over again and as you can guess things begin to change. They have a few bumps along the way but it is worth the rough spots to find that happy ending. You will not be disappointed in the book.
This series and characters were amazing and brilliantly written. With each new couple they would end up being my favorite. Jeremy and Jade are my favorite I have to admit. What starts out as friends with benefits and rules, I mean what can go wrong right??? Well rules are made to be broken and finding and making memories are to be found and cherished. Seriously awesome storyline, hot AF sex scenes and rememberal characters. Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis
An absolutely phenomenal book!!! Jeremy Slade is a complete alpha!!! He is sex on a stick!! He is the owner of his own construction company and has decided to give back to the community by rebuilding an old building for young kids to hang out. Jade Foxton is an intelligent, gorgeous, great personality and so very kind!! When these two meet the chemistry is through the roof!! They decide to keep their "relationship" fun!! They try to keep their hearts out of it!! Key work is try!! Trying to be friends with benefits somehow has a way of making your true feelings really come out!! Probably the best book in the series to date and let me tell you the others were amazing, but something about Jeremy and Jade just pulled you in and didn't let go!! Perfect from beginning to end!!
I have read & loved all Becca's books & have to say that Finding Memories is my favourite so far.
Jeremy & Jade are perfect for each other. What starts out as a friend's with benefits relationship, neither looking for something serious, both looking for some fun in their lives soon develops into more. Before long these two are making perfect memories together.
Jade and Jeremy, aka Foxy and Superman these two are good friends who realize they are missing out. Companionship, comfortable dinner company, scintillating sex and no expectations. Friends scratching an itch, no strings sex. Sounds good in theory but will it actually work in reality. Can they keep themselves closed off to actual emotion and make the friends with benefits work?
Wow I just finished and no clue where to start this review. I feel torn between happy mushy feelings, because I floved Jeremy and Jade, but also feeling like a chapter in my life is closing with this series coming to an end. so with still no clue what to write I will say this, buy this book and the three before it because you will love them just as much as me! trust me you need them in your life, in fact i need these in PB just so i can hold them!!
Hooo-ly cow! What a way to end this great series by Becca Taylor! Reading through Jade and Jeremy's story made me gush with warmth, my heart flutter with emotions, and my body skyrocket with how wonderful their story is. I laughed, I ached, and I love this story! The ending was the perfect way to wrap up this series. I look forward to more from Becca!
The group is together again as they try to help Jeremy and Jade figure out their love lives. Jeremy gets heart breaking news that Deanna has hooked up with an old boyfriend and is moving on just as Jeremy is getting ready to propose. Jade has also suffered a heartbreak at the hands of her past boyfriend. Jeremy and Jade secretly team up to tackle the crazy world of online dating. It’s more of Jade’s idea but Jeremy tags along to “keep her safe”. The solution to both of their problems seems to be right in front of them but they have a hard time seeing it at first, even when their friends try to point it out. This is going to be my first book by Becca Taylor but when I realized I had missed out on all the friends and their stories I had to start back at the beginning of the Breaking Free Series (with all my craziness – even though this can be read as a standalone – I must read them all!) However, back to Finding Memories – the story was so sweet and genuine. I enjoyed getting to know both Jeremy and Jade. They were the perfect ending to a Perfect Series. Go check out Becca Taylor’s Breaking Free Series. The amazing thing is they are all available on Kindle Unlimited.
A fantastic read. It's fun and entertaining. It will pull you in from the beginning. It's well written with characters you already love. I enjoyed the banter and the chemistry between the characters is sizzling and hot. I enjoyed the their journey as their friendship becomes more. A great story. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book.
I loved reading this friends with benefits to lovers book! The chemistry between the Jade and Jeremy is so HOT! This book made me feel tons of emotions good and bad and even brought me to tears at one point. I highly recommend reading this book! Once I started reading this book i literally couldnt put it down till i finished it!
