Moments of Love (Moments to Remember #3) by Ysa Arcangel – Review by Sheri Schrader

Moments of Love (Moments to Remember #3)Moments of Love by Ysa Arcangel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moments of Love by Ysa Arcangel is the third book in the Moments to Remember book series. Trust me that you need to have read Moments of Joy and Moments of Pain first. The books in the series are not standalone novels. This story continues the saga of Brandy of Ivo and their battle against Alzheimer’s disease. Brandy has given birth to twins but her battle with postpartum depression is worse because she is also burdened with thoughts of her Alzheimer’s progressing. She worries of how this will affect not only the children and Ivo’s lives. She very much wants to be in control of her situation but also realizes that she does not know when her disease will progress and how quickly.
This story is amazing as the first two novels and shows the struggles in a real way of people dealing with such a life-changing disease. We often forget how lucky we are and how much we take our lives for granted. This story shows that true love can fight battles that seem unbelievable and that this power of love can make a horrible situation better. Ivo and Brandy are so passionate in the good moments they are given together. Ivo is stockpiling the memories because he knows that he will not have many years in order to build his memories of Brandy before the disease progresses. Brandy is strong and cares about her children and Ivo more than imaginable. Both are such selfless people and only want is best for everyone around them.

Moments of Love is the third book in the Moments to Remember series by Ysa and it is the perfect culmination of all the other books in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series and can’t say enough things about it. It is certainly thought provoking and will have you in tears, not pretty tears, they will be great sobbing tears so ensure you grab a strong drink and a box of tissues and settle down for this last installment to a truly beautiful and heart wrenching story. The story picks up straight off where the second book ended.

Brandy is not only suffering from the effects of Alzheimer’s and then she is now consumed by postpartum depression after the birth of her two beautiful babies. She loves her babies but she can’t seem to make it better. Her family is her life but she knows that with her condition, love is not enough so she does the one thing she believes is best for them. Ivo does all he can to help his wife and keep his family strong, but is it enough?

Ivo is struggling to cope with looking after his wife and caring for his children. But his love can overcome it all. But can it? When Brandy is lost Ivo’s world is turned on it’s head and completely devastated.

This story shows the strength and courage of a the main characters who are dealing with so much. It shows that love can overcome overwhelming odds if you have the right partner to lean on. This series has touched me the way that no other has. Ysa is smart and clever writer that has written an truly beautiful story that will leave you feeling every high and low that the characters themselves feel. This is a very short read but totally worth your time.

5 Stars

Oh my gosh, this series has me a hot mess, it wasn’t enough that Brandy was suffering from the effects of Alzheimer’s now postpartum depression has consumed her. She loves her family with her whole heart, and feels she must do what is best for them. Ivo does all he can to help his wife and keep his family strong, but is it enough?

The first two books have taken us on a journey with Ivo’s children, as they try to understand Ivo and Brandy’s past, and how their Mom plays into it. This is a story about love, a love so strong it can fight against the most awful of diseases. This is also a story about strength, the strength and courage of a woman dealing with so much yet willing to put her family first trying to ensure their future is without pain.

I have honestly never read a series that has touched me the way this one has, this will stay with me forever. Alzheimer’s has touched and affected my own family and I could physically feel the pain and love that Ivo dealt with on a daily basis. This author is amazingly brilliant, and handled this whole series beautifully. This didn’t feel like a book series to me, this was real life, and so many deal with this every day. I will hold this story close to my heart and I will reread this often. I am already looking forward to the spin off Novel and will be watching for any and everything by this author in the future.

This is not a standalone novel…you really have to read this series in order, you will be completely lost if you don’t.
