Samantha Chase seems to be traveling all over the map from Hope Falls to Sapphire Falls, weaving her romance and love as she takes her readers into small towns where warmth, support and friendship is regarded with high respect and everyone looks out for everyone, never mind if you are a newbie in the town.

And who can vouch for all that better than Chloe Holland. Leaving a life of betrayal behind to start fresh, finding herself stranded on the deserted roads of Nebraska was not in her plan and neither was getting rescued by the charming Dylan Maxwell! But then gods of nature seem to have a different plan for Chloe and Dylan, and bringing them under one roof is reason enough to explore the lightening that struck their hearts.

As Dylan fixes her car, Chloe’s hurt seems to be on the mend too. As Chloe starts falling for the charm of Sapphire Falls, Dylan loses his heart to Chloe and hope springs in Chloe’s heart for a fresh start with Dylan. With the entire town of Sapphire Falls behind them, Dylan and Chloe just fit perfectly with each other and life’s finally going their way.

“Going My Way” is another short and sweet love story, that brings to light there are good people in this world with kind hearts; that friendship and family is laced with honesty, integrity and care. With so many tender moments of love and care, dialogues that bring chuckles, and actions that keep our faith in humanity, “Going My Way” has definitely gone all the way to my heart as another charismatic read from Samantha Chase.

Love Walks In – Straight Into My Heart!

Filed under: Book Reviews — 2 Comments
April 3, 2016

Samantha Chase started off her new series “The Shaughnessy Brothers” with a bang as the first Shaughnessy brother Aidan finds his forever with Zoe in “Made For Us”. And “Love Walks In” right into Hugh Shaughnessy’s heart and he had no ammunition to fight his feelings for Aubrey Burke.

LoveWalksIn-Shaughnessey2-SamanthaChase

Hugh Shaughnessy lives by rules, schedules and itineraries that have no room for changes nor does he let time slip his control. He can’t handle change nor does he see the benefit of others not respecting time and schedules. And for this Shaughnessy, Aubrey Burke is an uncontrollable and unpredictable dilemma that makes him question his attitude. She lives on instinct, thrives on making personal connections and time and schedules are not on her list of living her life. She is a bane to his sanity and he is sexy trouble on a watch for Aubrey.

There’s plenty of humor and passion, charm and dazzle, but what stands out for me in “Love Walks In”, is Samantha’s prowess of setting Hugh apart from his brother Aidan. Each sibling molds to the loss of their mother in different ways. Guilt and responsibility makes them create lives that they now in live, with a hope to atone the guilt of being responsible for her death. Each character has been caricatured with so much detail and dynamics that reading their stories is pure pleasure.

Just as “Love Walks In” for Hugh and Aubrey, they walk right into my heart as one of the sweetest couples that would be on my favorite list.

Need You For Mine – Last St. Helena Hero Bites The Dust!

March 28, 2016

Last man standing Adam Baudouin finally falls for the girl-next-door-everyone’s-friend Harper Owens, in the fitting finale of Marina Adair’s Heroes Of St. Helena Series. I enjoyed each love story of the Baudouin brothers and their tryst with their sassy heroines. Needless to say that this series was my first read of Marina Adair and she’s warmed into my heart with her charming and captivating stories.NeedYouForMine-StHelenaHeroes-MarinaAdair

 

Harper Owens needs Adam Baudouin as much as he needs her for himself. What starts off as pretend relationship to save her lingerie store and get him a promotion, both Harper and Adam never saw the fire that ignites between them. Their chemistry is hot, connection is soul deep, and the empathy and caring they have for each other takes them by surprise. Throw in a generous dose of wit and family meddling, you’ve got one sexy read of a romance.

Harper is just this colorful, ultra sweet and an amazingly good person, and Adam compliments her with his protective and helpful, the imperfectly perfect hero for his heroine. “Need You For Mine” is a dazzling narration and writing prowess of Marina that keeps the story interesting and brings a chuckle as Harper and Adam muddle through relationship to get their happily ever after.HeroesOfStHelena-MarinaAdair

From “Need You For Keeps” to “Need You For Always”, to finally “Need You For Mine”, Marina weaves heartwarming stories of the Baudouin brothers, considered as the Heroes of St. Helena.
