Return To You – Return To Second Chances

Welcome to land of the Montgomerys!!!!! Arrogant, rich, loving, charismatic, sometimes idiotic when their women are in sight, but damn sexy to the boot. I love them and for me they sail in the same boat as the Sullivans of Bella Andre or the Sloans of Melanie Shaw.

It’s wonderful reading Samantha Chase’s Montgomery Brothers Series after a long hiatus with ‘Return To You’ (Book 4). I missed the aristocrat and meddling William Montgomery along with his brother J It’s such a warm and comforting feeling to have a family that loves and supports unconditionally and manipulates and meddles unconditionally.

Selena Ainsley is manipulated into planning their high school reunion and ends up coming home to North Carolina from Long Island. A home that she had left behind yet the memories and pain of a past still haunt her and so does the young boy who stole her heart all those years ago. Circumstances send her away from her home and James Montgomery, but motivation and sheer grit motivates her into becoming a successful business owner and now fate and William Montgomery play the catalyst in bringing James and Selena face to face.

ReturnToYou-Montgomerys4-Mar2015

James Montgomery had left behind a passion as a landscaper and all the riches to become a detective fighting for justice, a very personal decision that was born out of a painful past. Successful, hardworking and loyal to his job, nothing catches him off guard than coming face to face with Selena, the one and only girl who stole his heart. He has questions and Selena is the only one with answers. The past still hurts him enough and Selena is the only balm to take away the pain of betrayal.

Ten years of separation slips away as the desire between them stokes the suppressed love. Pain and betrayal fade away as they succumb to the passion that sizzles between them. But they have ten years of hurt, unanswered questions and a small matter called trust, that needs to be taken care of, before they can dream of a future with each other…. finally!

And what a fabulous ending Samantha gives James and Selena as they return to each other, for a new beginning! She brings back the glory of the Montgomerys with James and Selena, perfect for each other characterized with all normal human failings.

An Executive Affair – Affaire De Coeur!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
February 21, 2015

A new author on the block with the writing skills of a pro, Breah Elise debuts with “An Executive Affair”, a relationship that starts off with professional antagonism, slips between the sheets, sizzling and scorching, and steps into the winter storm of fears and insecurities.

AnExecutiveAffair-BreahElise-Feb2015

Katie and Mitch are teamed to work on an architectural project that does not sit well with both. Katie thinks Mitch is arrogant, cocky, rude and condescending and Mitch just cannot stand Katie’s uptight, cold librarian attitude. Yet both cannot deny the first flare of attraction but both vehemently stay away from each other.

But with fate landing them right smack into the middle of a winter storm that forces them to stay together, that flare of attraction burns fierce than the fire in the hearth and they end up succumbing to the passion and lust. As the storm passes, and passion calms its ferocity, the dawn brings to light uncertainties and insecurities that Katie and Mitch never had a chance to discuss and put to rest.

Now it’s left to Mitch and Katie to give their executive affair a chance to survive and make it a long-term affair by working out their priorities and fears. Breah does a good job of creating Mitch and Katie with so many imperfections; it works out great for the storyline. They are headstrong, stubborn and just refuse plain refuse to listen to their hearts before biting off each other’s heads.

“An Executive Affair” takes you on a bumpy ride of love and pain, acceptance and forgiveness and accepting the imperfectly perfect life. It is captivating with lovable characters, good narration, and a sweet story line with a perfect ending.

ReturnToYou-Montgomerys4-Mar2015

Excerpt

It was near midnight and Selena’s eyes felt heavy. With her head resting on James’s shoulder, she tried to focus on the ending of The Philadelphia Story. Back when they were dating, they used to enjoy watching classic movies, and finding one on the television seemed like the perfect way for them to relax after such an emotional evening. 

James looked over at Selena and smiled to himself. If he could freeze this moment in time, he would. For years he had wondered if he’d ever find a woman he could come home to, with whom he could sit like this and simply relax. The woman half-asleep beside him was the only woman he wanted to fit that bill. The credits were beginning to roll, and he gently nudged her with his shoulder. “Hey,” he said softly, “are you still awake?” 

“Mmm…barely,” she whispered and then yawned. As much as Selena knew that the bed would be a far more comfortable place to sleep, she didn’t want to leave the security of James’s side. She jumped when he shifted beside her to stand up. A wave of panic hit her as she prayed that he wasn’t getting up to leave. Before she could even voice her concern, James turned off the television and then scooped her up into his arms. “Oh!”

“Don’t get me wrong. I was completely enjoying being curled up with you on the sofa, but I had a feeling your neck was going to kill you tomorrow.” He walked through to the bedroom and carefully held her close as he pulled back the comforter and gently placed Selena down. Without a word, he walked back out to the living room and locked the door and turned out the lights before returning to her.

He didn’t ask permission.

She didn’t extend an invitation.

Neither seemed necessary.

Author Biography

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller/contemporary romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan’s Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40’s to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.

When she’s not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.

Moonlight In Winter Park – Bombshell Romance!!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
November 24, 2014

All Hope Cooper wanted was to spend Christmas with her brother, her only living family. Having lost their parents a couple of months ago, Hope is still reeling from the loss and Ted is busy working long hours for the beast of a boss! She is royally pissed that Ted’s boss can be immune to the festivities and family time. Not to mention that he even rejected her business proposal for a café in one of his hotels. So it’s no wonder that Hope is livid, frustrated and mad beyond reason with Mr. ‘Beast’ James!!!!

MoonlightInWinterLake-SamanthaChase-Dec2014

Beckett “Beast’ James hates the holidays and everything that goes with them including his own family. Experience and expectations has made him wary of relationships and he shut his heart to love, empathy and family. His only focus is to grow his business and he does it with narrow-minded intensity, leaving no room for any other feelings or any distractions, be it the beauty herself.

Circumstances leave Hope with Beckett at his ski lodge and the attraction that flares between cannot be doused by the snowstorm outside. As they give into each other under the moonlight, Beckett and Hope explore their feelings trying to hold the magic in the air. But with opinions resting on two ends of the spectrum, it is only a matter of time before the winter wonder disappears.

Samantha Chase pens another sweet story of love between two contrasting people, with different ideologies. When people fall in love, there is always a middle ground, and between all the frustration, impatience and shouting, Beckett and Hope sure find a common ground. Samantha did a fine job with her characters, and don’t be surprised if you want to pull your hair out at their antics and feel like screaming at them to get over their stupid arguments…OMG!!!! Caught myself doing it…. 😉

And this is one of the most beautiful and romantic covers I’ve come across!!!!

Moonlight In Winter Park – Surprise…Enchantment…Family…Snowflakes…Love…Yuletide.

Moonlight In Winter Park – Magic And Wonder From The Romance Chaser!!!!!

Filed under: Books In The Wind 'N Air, Sneak Peaks and More — 1 Comment
November 7, 2014

Samantha Chase is one fine romance writer and she loves gifting charming love stories to her readers. With support from the ever helpful elves in thoughts and the magic of festive season in the air, hot chocolate and fire giving her company, Samantha Chase is Moonlighting In Winter Park, bringing Hope and Beckett for a wonderful Christmas and forever.

Check out her new release on November 24, 2014 

MoonlightInWinterLake-SamanthaChase-Dec2014

All Hope Cooper needed this year was to have the kind of Christmas her family always cherished. But with her parents gone and her only brother having to work, it doesn’t look like it’s going to work out for her. There’s nothing she can do about her parents, but she most certainly can voice her annoyance at her brother’s boss for making him work out of town all through the holidays.

Beckett James hates the holidays and everything that goes with them. They were important at one time, but now the only thing that mattered was his company and its continued growth and anyone who worked for him better feel the same way; if not, they could find employment elsewhere and good riddance. With a major expansion deal on the line, Beckett needs to focus. What he doesn’t need is Hope to come barging into his mountain retreat demanding that her brother come home immediately due to an emergency.

Suddenly it’s two alone in a snowstorm…two alone for Christmas…and two alone to fight an attraction that had been there all along. Hope soon begins to realize she may have misjudged Beckett, while he comes to see that there really is something special and magical about Christmas. But once they leave their private winter wonderland and return to their normal lives, will the magic still be there?

A modern-day Beauty and the Beast style Christmas.
