Susan's Review of Samantha Chase's Kiss The Girl--Magnolia Sound --#11

Savannah James is no stranger to heartache and loss. It wasn’t enough to lose two sets of parents, now she’s losing the only person she has left. Escorting Cash Coleman back to Magnolia Sound so he can say goodbye to his family is a no brainer if it means she gets to spend whatever time he has left with him. Once he’s gone, it’s back to her lonely life in Seattle. At least, that’s what she thought would happen before she met Cash’s family—and his youngest son.

When it comes to his father, Jackson Coleman isn’t short on anger. So when the old man comes back to Magnolia Sound to say goodbye, he’s determined not to care. But with Cash comes Savannah, and Jackson starts to question everything he’s ever thought about his father—like why was he able to be a parent to a friend’s daughter when he couldn’t even be there for his own sons? As much as Savannah represents everything he resents about Cash, he also can’t deny the intense attraction he feels for her.

After a lifetime of being left behind, Savannah finally found the one person she wants to stay. But in order to have a chance at a happily ever after with Jackson, she’ll have to fight every instinct she has to not get attached.

                            

Samantha Chase’s Kiss the Girl is an unforgettable, emotional journey with all the feels. It’s filled with appealing characters, down to earth family drama and heartfelt romance. The relationship triangle between Cash Coleman, Savannah James and Jackson Coleman drew me into the story.

Cash Coleman’s return to Magnolia Sound drives the storyline and sets off a series of events that impacts the entire Coleman clan. Samantha Chase’s voice is perfect for this type of novel as she writes from the heart. Loved the conversations between Cash’s sons and family members. The dialogue is honest, direct and no one holds back as they ask themselves why has Cash reappeared? Why now?

Jackson and Savannah meet at Donovan’s Pub—neither is aware of each other’s relationship with Cash. Loved that Jackson was at a total loss for words when he first approached Savannah at Donovan’s. The attraction between the couple unnerved Jackson so much that he forgot to get her phone number.

The characters is Kiss the Girl are complex, compelling, and they face real life challenges. Savannah has overcome illness, loss and betrayal; her story tugged at my heart. Her journey made her a strong person but, she can’t get over the fear of being left behind. Jackson grew up without his father and although he has a large, supportive family he suffers from trust and abandonments issues. I felt for Jackson and his brothers Austin and Garret. Even though they were part of the large Coleman clan, they were not afforded the same opportunities as their cousins.

I was moved to tears throughout the novel as Savannah’s relationship with Jackson strengthens as Cash’s condition worsens. Samantha Chase did not redeem Cash instead, she chose to provide insight into a troubled man’s life and his choices. Cash didn’t ask for forgiveness. He wanted understanding and a chance to reconnect with his family. The conversations that Cash had with Savannah, his sons and Grace were poignant and gave me goosebumps. Cash and his family were given a rare gift. They were able to say good bye, clear the air and share memories of happy times with Cash. These pages were poignant and written with so much heart and understanding.

Samantha Chase’s Kiss the Girl focuses on Savannah and the Coleman family’s journey. The compelling story emphasizes Savannah’s ability to overcome the many obstacles in her life and enables her to trust herself to love again. Jackson learns to trust, to forgive and to move forward. Loved the subtle character nuances, the relationships between the Coleman brothers and the strength of Grace Coleman who held her family together through good and bad times. The powerful story with its dynamic characters, passionate romance and family drama is a must read for 2022!

Susan's Review of Always On My Mind by Samantha Chase-- Magnolia Sound #10

Returning to Magnolia Sound was never part of the plan. Then again, Parker Bishop rarely had one. Yet after confessing her love to her best friend right before his wedding, she needs time to lick her wounds from the disastrous scene that unfolds. After the unsympathetic welcome she receives from her parents and siblings, Parker finds herself absentmindedly driving through town in search of a place to stay.

That’s when she spots the flier and a familiar name…

Ethan Harlow enjoys the peace and quiet. Unfortunately, finding a moment of it becomes impossible when the flier he posts for a roommate brings Parker crashing into his life. Of course, he remembers her from high school. It’s impossible to forget little miss popular who was always the center of attention. All he wanted was to split the rent and keep to himself. Instead, Parker transforms his home and makes him question the dreams he gave up out of fear of stepping out of his comfort zone.

The attraction they feel to one another makes crossing the line from roommates to lovers seem inevitable. But the more Parker encourages Ethan to pursue his dreams, the less likely it becomes that they can have any kind of future together. Can they find a way to claim their happily ever after or will their individual paths make a future impossible?

Ethan Harlow is shocked to learn his high school crush Parker Bishop has returned to Magnolia Sound and needs a place to stay. She has relatives—lots of them, doesn’t she?? Ethan reluctantly agrees to let Parker move in---and she turns his life sideways!!

Always on My Mind is an opposites attract romance and more importantly a story of family relationships. Parker’s place in her family is cast in stone—she’s perceived as spoiled, flaky, and impulsive. She’s never had a full time job and her family fears she will never settle into a career. Ethan moved back to Magnolia to care for his late father. He is a college science professor who is a bit of a nerd and sticks to his routine.

Samantha Chase’s dynamic characters draw me into her novels. Love the complicated relationships between the Coleman and Bishop families in this series. The conversations between Parker and her sister are brutally honest and it was easy to imagine Parker being overwhelmed, stressed and hurt. I felt for Parker-she was trying to rebuild her life and her family couldn’t let go of their perception of her. They couldn’t see her strengths. These scenes were emotional and so very well written.

Loved the how the tentative friendship between Parker and Ethan led to sparks of attraction which resulted in a sweet romance. I wondered how free- spirited Parker and routine -oriented Ethan would work-loved that they were exactly what each other needed! Ethan is a quiet, thoughtful man and during the novel—he turned out to be the perfect swoony hero for Parker! Just loved him! Both characters listened to and supported each other – and these strengths enabled them to grow personally and professionally. Loved the plot twists and the Easter Eggs hidden throughout the novel—this is special treat for the author’s long time readers!

Samantha Chase explores several themes throughout this novel—there is conflict and drama, passion and honest conversation—all the elements that I adore in a novel. Adored Parker and Ethan and was so invested in their journey. Small town romance readers--this is the book you've been waiting for!

Susan's Review of Nobody Does it Better by Samantha Chase-Magnolia Sound #9

A billionaire hell bent on transforming a sleepy coastal town.

The hometown girl determined to do whatever it takes to stop him.

Peyton Bishop has big plans and big dreams when it comes to leaving her mark on Magnolia Sound. Her great-grandfather founded the coastal town and every generation before her has left their stamp. Now it’s her turn. But just as she takes the leap and makes plans to build her own restaurant, a sexy business mogul buys her dream property right from under her.

Ryder Ashford knows a good thing when he sees it, and he knows he’s found a gem with Magnolia Sound. He just needs to get the small town up to his standards first. He’s received nothing but praise from the locals so far, but that’s about to change because the bratty and beautiful café owner whose property he just snatched isn’t shy about calling him out on his plans. He should be annoyed she’s getting in his way, but he enjoys their verbal sparring too much.

Ryder’s a man who goes after what he wants, and what he wants is the best.

He never thought that would turn out to be the one woman standing between him and his dreams.

“Peyton Bishop! What a nice surprise! Did you get my flowers this morning?”

“Do you know what you can do with your flowers? She said menacingly. “You can take them and shove them right up your ass!”

To his credit, Ryder’s initial reaction was a raised eyebrow.

“Do you have any idea what you’ve done? She went on, thankful to be able to unload directly on him now. “You just swooped into our town and you are trying to change everything! You think you can go wherever you want and throw your money around to get whatever you want. Well…newsflash, buddy! We don’t want you changing things! Magnolia Sound was doing just fine before you came along."

Nobody Does it Like You is the ninth book in Samantha Chase’s Magnolia Sound series and it features a savvy billionaire and a hometown girl with big dreams of her own.

Peyton Bishop’s desire is to be recognized for her business acumen, not her family connections or pretty face. She has transformed the Magnolia Café from a sleepy, old fashioned restaurant to a popular lunch and dinner bistro which features a mix of comfort and tavern meals with a twist.

Ryder Ashford is buying property all over Magnolia Sound; he’s renovating beach houses, buying businesses and has plans to build a huge resort. But, he’s made a huge mistake –he’s purchased a piece of property that Peyton had been saving up to buy. Ryder is all business; he’s a spreadsheet and suit and tie kind of guy. Feelings are not his forte.

Love Samantha Chase’s voice; I could feel the sexual chemistry between Ryder and Payton each time they talked to each other. Their verbal sparring sizzled with emotion. Loved that Ryder had feelings for Peyton but second guessed himself and truly had no clue how to go about romancing her. Grand gestures didn’t impress Peyton; I loved that she was able to get Ryder out of his comfort zone, to enjoy being together in the moment and to appreciate family and friends. Ryder was a black and white character until Peyton added color to his life.

Nobody Does it Better is filled with charming, insightful characters. Samantha Chase adds depth to the novel and she introduces a new story thread when she adds Ryder’s parents into the mix—I loved this plot choice. I rooted for this couple from the very beginning of the novel when Peyton sends Ryder home to change into normal clothes! I just love this stubborn, unpretentious, down to earth heroine!

Nobody Does it Better contains all of the story elements I adore— a small town setting, sensuous romance and complex family drama. Like a meal from the Magnolia café, this novel should be savored for its dynamic characters and well-paced story line!

Susan's Review of Since You've Been Gone By Samantha Chase-Magnolia Sound #8

Emmaline Ryan has always been the smart, shy girl who plays it safe. But all that’s gotten her is a divorce and a mountain of debt to pay off courtesy of her ex-husband. Needless to say, she’s stopped believing in miracles and fairy tales a long time ago. Except now she’s in desperate need of one those miracles if she wants to save her family’s animal rescue. Emmaline knows just where to go for help, but that means putting her faith in the hands of the man who once broke her heart without even realizing it.

Garrett Coleman met the girl of his dreams when he was just eight years old – only, he never told her. But that was years ago. Now, Garrett has become a reluctant social media star – the shirtless #HotDoc and #SexyVet who saves scared and helpless animals. Sure, it’s been great for business, but he’d give anything for people to see the real him, preferably with a shirt on. When a visit home to Magnolia Sound has him running into the shy girl he left behind, he sees his chance at the future he never thought he deserved.

Unfortunately, he’s not the only one back in town, and wooing Emmaline just became a lot more complicated. A lot has changed since he’s been gone and Garrett is going to have to prove that he’s up to the challenge. Emmaline might still be the sweet and quiet girl he left behind, but he’s not sure she willing to wait.

Since You’ve been Gone is the eighth book in Samantha Chase’s Magnolia Sound series. Loved this second chance romance featuring Emma Ryan and Garrett Coleman.

Emma and Garrett approach situations differently. Emma is a problem solver; she’s survived a messy divorce, she’s figured out how to pay down her ex-husband’s credit card debt and she enjoys her family and career as a speech therapist. She has one problem that she can’t solve—continued funding for her family’s animal shelter.

Emma comments on an Instagram video featuring her childhood friend veterinarian Garrett Coleman. The video has gone viral as it features a shirtless Garrett working at an animal shelter. Garrett reads the comment and stresses out—should he comment back? Call her? He’s had feelings for Emma since high school and has never acted on it. I loved that Garrett had a hard time making decisions—he is overly cautious and over thinks everything. Every. Single. Thing. Even though, he’s a media sensation with the hashtag #sexyvet; he lacks self-confidence.

Loved the relationship between Garrett and his brother Austin. Samantha Chase excels at creating “brother banter” and the conversations between Garrett and Austin add a lot of laughter and insight to the story. The brothers understand each other and challenge each other. The secondary characters of Austin, Mia, Ryder, Grace and Dominic add humor and drama to the novel and are significant to the plot.

Samantha Chase adds an additional layer to the story line when a character returns to Magnolia Sound, stirs up trouble and disappears without a trace. This plot choice added a lot of intrigue to the story and provides an additional story ARC for several characters in future books. I can’t wait to read the next books in the series!!!

Samantha Chase has created a wonderful second chance story for two star crossed lovers. Emma and Garrett’s past drew me into the story. Garrett’s indecision concerning his feelings towards Emma have haunted him for years. Emma wondered if they could have been more than friends, too. These feelings make this novel relatable. Who hasn’t wondered what could have been…..

I highly recommend Since You’ve been Gone! Emma and Garrett’s path to their HEA will pull at your heartstrings and make you believe in second chances. Settle in with a glass of wine and enjoy every word of this fabulous novel!

Susan's Review of The Way The Story Goes by Samantha Chase- (Magnolia Sound #7)

Thriller writer Mia Kingsley has been hit with a serious case of writer’s block and she needs a little peace and quiet. A beach front property in Magnolia Sound seemed like the perfect escape and just the change of scenery she needs to get the words flowing again. That is, until her noisy neighbor starts running power tools and blasting music at all hours of the day and night. Before long, the next victim in her story starts to bear an uncanny resemblance to the contractor next door.

Austin Coleman never wanted to come back to Magnolia Sound. But sometimes, life takes an unexpected turn and the only way to get back on your feet is to go home. His plan is to avoid all things connected to his past, and renovating a beach house in the off-season is just the way to do that—there’ll be no neighbors and no distractions. Or so he thought until he almost maims his sexy neighbor with a flying sink. Despite his best efforts, trouble follows everywhere he goes.

At first she wanted to kill him. Now she wants to kiss him. Sometimes you have to wait and see where the story goes.

I highly recommend Samantha Chase’s The Way the Story Goes! I was engaged in Mia and Austin’s story from start to finish.

Thriller writer Mia Kingsley has a bad case of writer’s block. She’s escaped to a beach house to finish her novel. Her deadline is looming and the loud construction work going on next store was adding to her stress level. Her coping strategy? She started a new book titled Deadly Renovation—starring her loud next door neighbor! I loved this plot device as it kicked up the storyline a level, showcased Mia’s creativity and added a fun twist to the plot.

Loved Mia and Austin Coleman’s first meeting—he throws a sink off the deck and narrowly misses clobbering Mia. Loved the fun, flirty back and forth banter between the couple as they navigate a work truce, friendship and romance. Mia is beautiful, desirable, intelligent and an introvert. Family situations, and confrontations are not her forte. On the other hand, Austin is at ease with family parties and can hold his own in quarrelsome situations. Austin is a successful architect who has trouble believing in himself and acknowledging his successful career.

Samantha Chase is an incredible storyteller. Her characters leap off the page and into your heart. I really wanted this couple to believe in themselves and in their love story. I could relate to their situation and was pulling for their HEA.

If you are looking for a novel with all the feels—pick up The Way the Story Goes! It’s a fabulous character driven novel filled with flirty banter, memorable characters and a sizzling romance which will warm your heart!

Susan's Review of Can't Help Falling in Love-Samantha Chase-Magnolia Sound

Hunter Jones will do whatever it takes to make the best life possible for his son. Unfortunately, part of that requires relying on his now ex-wife—a woman who admits motherhood isn’t for her—to pull her weight for the sake of their boy. Yet when one of her erratic moments results in a missed daycare pick up, Hunter’s the one who gets accused of being a bad parent. He has nothing to prove to the opinionated stranger with the sassy smirk who openly berated him. Still, he finds himself irresistibly compelled to prove himself to her...

After growing up in the foster system, Violet Drake has zero patience for poor parenting. However, she’s the first to admit she was too harsh on Hunter when he arrived late to pick up his son... and that’s only partially because he’s insanely hot. It should have been an easy no when he asked her out. She’s constantly traveling for work, plus getting mixed up with a single dad is a monumentally bad idea. But the idea of spending time with him is too tempting to resist.

Their timing is wrong. They want completely different things. So why do they feel drawn to each other with each glance?

Can't Help Falling In Love is available at Amazon | Apple | Nook | Kobo | Google Play  

Can’t Help Falling in Love is a heartwarming story of a couple who at first glance appear to have little in common. Violet Drake and Hunter Jones are strong, independent people who want what most people take for granted-they want to be loved unconditionally. Samantha Chase wowed me with this charming novel set in Magnolia Sound.

Firefighter Hunter Jones is a stressed out, single dad who is trying to balance his job and caring for his three –year old son. He spends most of his free time figuring out who can help him take care of Eli when he has the night or overnight shifts at the firehouse. Hunter’s daycare anxieties are about to escalate because Katie, Eli’s primary care giver, is about to go on maternity leave.

Hunter and Violet’s first meeting can be best described as confrontational. She rips into him for forgetting to pick up Eli at daycare. Violet has no respect for neglectful parents and Hunter has not made a good first impression. Hunter arrives the next day with a peace offering to Katie and Violet; a dozen chocolate cupcakes.

Samantha Chase creates flawed, engaging characters that a reader can identify with. Hunter’s situation drew me into the story. He’s a single parent raising trying to juggle work and childcare. His life is pretty structured and he has no time for himself. Violet is the total opposite; she’s a travel agent who loves her job and the perks that go with it. She loves to travel and has a positive attitude. Growing up in the foster care system taught her not to get attached to anyone or any place.

I am enjoying Samantha Chase’s Magnolia Sound Series. The past few novels have focused on the Jones family and I am enjoying the family vibe between Domenic Jones and his children. The camaraderie between the Jones brothers makes me smile-especially the conversations between Kyle and Hunter. The importance of family and closeness of the brothers reminds me of Ms. Chase’s Shaughnessy Brothers series.

Can’t Help Falling in Love takes it up a notch because the couple has a deadline-they have six weeks before Violet returns to Nashville. The timing is all wrong and they are two very different people… but their attraction, their feelings for each other are very, very real. Hunter and Violet’s story is poignant, emotional and filled with love and hope.

If enjoyed Samantha Chases Shaughnessy Brother’s series—as much as I did—then this is the perfect book for you. Settle in with a glass of wine and corgi in your lap and enjoy every word!
