Remember My Name was nothing like what I was expecting, and I am not disappointed. I have not read anything by Laurencia Hoffman before, but will be starting the second book in this series ASAP. This book kept me hooked the entire time, and left me screaming at the end. The book follows Shane's life, and his complicated love for Callan. At first I was confused when it kept jumping back in forth in time, talking about Shane and Jake, and Shane and Callan, but it quickly all came together. I love that the mystery was kept throughout, and until the end of the story. The cliff hanging ending has me pissed off, lol. The 2nd book does not sound like it continues the story, but I am really hoping it does. I need answers, now! I do caution the readers, this book focuses around a gay couple, and has multiple mentions and images of abuse (self inflicted and otherwise). This could be a trigger for some readers, and believe it deserves to be mentioned.
Remember My Name by Laurencia Hoffman kept me hooked. Shane is very good at concealing his past which is filled with dark and scary secrets. Callan is the love of his life and wants to know all of Shane even the ugly scars he is so good at hiding. Shane attempts to run everyone in his life off so that he can protect them. What is he protecting them from?
Remember My Name by Laurencia Hoffman is a MM suspenseful romance that keeps you reading.
Shane has secrets that he does not want to share, so he does what he can to keep the people he cares about at arm's length. He is very sarcastic with a less than desirable attitude that makes people question his motives.
Callan is Shane's first love, and after the heartbreak of Callan walking away, they are back in each other's lives. Callen sees past Shane's rough exterior and wants to know the truth of what made Shane the way he is.
Sometimes, it is best to leave things alone. The more you dig the more lives could be in danger.
This was a good read and I recommend you give it a read too! I will be starting on Book 2 soon!

This was an incredible story for me. I have just come out with my own sexuality in the last few years. Reading about Shane and his struggle of being gay and his family not so supportive of that hit some heart strings for me. Shane has been through a lot. The first boy he dated, Jake, disappeared. Then he met and fell in love with Callan. When Callan walked away, Shane was heartbroken.
Callan reappears and Shane has to make some choices. He still loves Callan, but can they date, and Shane still be able to hide the secrets from his past?
I related to the characters in this book and felt like I got to know them all personally. Thank you Laurencia for a heartstring pulling story. I loved it!

Shane Coulter is a man with a dark past and a darker heart, he has been through a lot in his life and this has made him into the person he is today, abrasive, sarcastic and a pain in the ass to those around him, but as much as he tries to distance himself from those around him, he can’t seem to push them far enough away. One day he is meeting his friend for something to eat, but instead of him, he sees a face from his past, his first love, Callan Reid, a tall, blonde man whose blue eyes keep him entranced and help his breath to come back, but they also remind him of what they had and why he left him. Callan cannot help being drawn back to Shane, the man he left behind to appease his family, but the life he chose hasn’t made him happy and all he wants is a second chance with him and he is determined to get Shane to come around to his point of view.
They agree to meet up and go on a date, but Shane insists that it is his rules or nothing and the main rule is that they are complete strangers, they don’t talk about the past or delve too deeply into each others lives, Callan agrees, albeit reluctantly and they agree to meet and start again. As the two meet on one of Shane’s favourite walking trails, Callan asks to take his picture, Shane agrees, however, it is too much like all times, but he agrees to dinner as payment for the photographs, although he takes his own car and follows him there. When they get to the restaurant, it is the same one as the other night. After the waiter brings their food, they talk about their careers and other small talk, slightly touching on the topic of family and relationships, but before he can get too comfortable, Shane makes his excuses and leaves, albeit agreeing to dinner the next Friday on his way out.
Shane is really trying to keep his aloof attitude going, it is becoming harder, especially when the rest of his family and his boss at work are trying to drum up an uncomfortable amount of conversation, as time passes and Shane sees more of Callan, he is finding that the more time he spends around him, the harder it is becoming to stay closed off and Callan is beginning to think that there is more to Shane pushing him away than just being obstinate, meanwhile, Shane is still desperately trying to keep his secrets hidden, but his well built walls and boundaries are starting to be pushed against and he isn't comfortable with it at all. Will Callan be able to get Shane to open up to him and accept the help being given, or will Shane close himself off even more as the pressure mounts? Can Shane keep his demons at bay, or will the darkness close in on him and destroy whatever he has left? This is a thrilling story of love and protection in this romance with a dark twist which will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing as to what will happen all the way to the end.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I was pleasantly surprised.
It was a very interesting storyline and the pacing kept me reading. The author’s writing style is engaging with a lot of show not tell. The character development with Shane was brilliantly executed, I really felt the emotional rollercoaster. Even though this is a series, this was a complete novel. Will be definitely reading the next book.

I have to admit that the book cover grabbed my attention and I knew I had to read it. I am not familiar with Laurencia Hoffman but I will be seeking out her other stories. The plotline is amazing. There was a darkness lurking about with a side of M/M romance for flavor. There are many emotional highs and lows. I was turning the pages faster and faster because I needed to know what was coming up. Her characters are fully developed and complex in nature. Shane has some deep secrets that could be deadly. He puts up a tough front until Callan pushes through the walls. To find out what happens to Callan and Shane you will have to read the book. Believe me, it is worth the read. I cannot wait to read Remember His Name book 2.
This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. This is a mystery thriller story that kept me turning pages to the end. I enjoyed being pulled in right from the beginning and made to feel as if I was right there in the story. I had no problems connecting with the characters as they brought on the twists and turns. They made the story easy to read and enjoyable. This is a story about hidden secrets from the past and those who will stop at nothing to prevent them from getting out. There are consequences but will they turn deadly? Are some things better off left in the past? Callan and Shane are great characters that made the story believable. They are strong and supportive and really made the story for me. I highly recommend this book.

Remember My Name by Laurencia Hoffman is an emotionally charged and gripping MM romance. It is a little dark and sad in places, and I found my emotions were all over the place while reading some scenes.
This is the first book of Luciana Hoffman’s that I have read, and I have to admit that she won me over with her intense story.
Shane Coulter has been hiding some dark and disturbing secrets behind a impudent and prickly attitude. The only person who took the time to look past his protective tough guy camouflage is Callan Reid, Shane’s first love. Callan is certain that there is something truly shocking to blame for Shane to be the way he is. And Callan is determined to uncover the truth. But as Shane starts digging for answers, danger comes calling. There are some that would prefer that the truth never be revealed- and are willing to kill to keep the truth from emerging.
Past meets present in a chilling story of secrets and love.
Intriguing reading!
Thank you, Laurencia Hoffman!

Remember My Name (Remember My Name Series Book 1) by Laurencia Hoffman is a story about secrets from the past that affect the here and now and is a little dark and very emotional read. It is a MM romance that is full of angst which makes for a tense and compelling read. The characters are complex and the story flowed nicely. I found myself immersed in this story and taken in with the twists and turns as we search to unravel the secrets from the past. But they may just get more than they bargained for.
