Fabulous kickoff of a terrific series
This book! Wow!
I am a HUGE Samantha Chase fan and this book has solidified that for me.
Matt and Vivienne are terrific main characters. Each is one is battling family traumas, fighting off attraction (initially), and learning that together they can handle anything.
Matt is coming into his own. He’s been taken down (publicly) a few pegs and is hiding out at Aaron’s house while he’s away. Vivienne is settling into her own place on Aaron’s property and trying to figure out her way from a career perspective.
I loved the writing, and especially the dialogue. Ms. Chase writes characters that are “normal,” who battle challenges like the rest of us. The dialogue between the characters gives a window into realistic emotions and offers sigh-worthy reading.
Their relationship is warm, comfortable, and grows into something solid … all while they both face immeasurable hurts from their childhood.

I am a huge fan of rocker books because there is such a diversity in the stories that can be told, from the bad boy who steals all the ladies’ hearts to the shy one who lets the others take center stage. Picking up a rocker book, you never know what you’ll get, so I’m always excited about going in and this book did not disappoint. I admit, in the beginning, I was a little irritated with the main character being so down on himself, but watching him grow from his rocker persona, Matty Reed, into the man he saw himself being was quite a journey. I love the many sides of this character and how the author took the time to show you every one. The supporting characters added the right amount of humor, emotion, and drama, to make them pertinent to the story, and the other main characters had great chemistry with Matt. It’s a book I would highly recommend.
My very first Samantha Chase book and I’m already in love! All the #feels people. Every one. I was stunned at how emotional the story was. And not that it was sad or angsty, it just made my heart smile … a lot.
Matt and Vivienne know each other thru Matt’s best friend who happens to be Vivienne’s brother. There is nothing like the best friend sister/brother’s best friend trope. It’s always amusing to me because I can’t understand the hoopla. But that’s why it’s fiction, eh. 🙂 I’ve read this story line a million times, but this one felt fresh. It was Matt and Vivienne’s individual growth throughout the story that made it fresh. They both had baggage to get thru to move on in life. And they were both exactly what each other needed with that baggage as well. Kismet 🙂
This is a high ranking **happy sigh** book that shouldn’t be missed. It will make you feel good no matter what’s going on in your life 🙂
Where to even start. Matt is kind of forced to go back home and hide from the spotlight for a while. Hopefully finding himself while he is at it. Is he able to come to terms with being back in his home town? You always find out who your true friends are when you are at your lowest. This is Matt’s journey to what is hopefully his HEA.
This is Matt’s story, the co-founder of the rock group Shaughnessy and is going through a personal crisis after his dreams of taken Broadway by storm is a total failure. Vivienne is the litte sister of Matt’s best friend Aaron. She is also a strong, independent woman who has had a crush on Matt for awhile. These two are total opposites but when they come together it’s fireworks. This book is filled with internal conflict and how those conflicts can help you to grow and want to be a better person. This story tugged at my heart but also gave me a few smiles. I think I found my new.book boyfriend in Matt and I want him to come grill ME a steak!! LOL!!
I am in love. Sorry Vivienne, I know he is yours. Oh, but sigh!!!! Why are the good ones taken??
I finished Samantha Chase’s latest release One More Kiss last week, and I am still bowled over. I was gifted with an early copy of One More Kiss at a time in my life that I really needed a reality vacation and I can honestly say that this book did that in spades. The story grabbed me from the very beginning and I could not put it down. I loved the relationship that developed between Vivienne and Matt from the very beginning. I liked the way the way Ms. Chase added substance to Matt and Vivienne by writing into the story of how they both felt guilty for keeping the relationship secret from Vivienne’s brother. It is one of the many things that made the characters more “real”.
I have been a fan of Ms. Chase’s books for two years now, I still have not read EVERYTHING she has written, YET (I will get there someday), but, I know without a doubt that when I pick up one of her books I will be in for a fantastic emotional ride. Thank you, Ms. Chase, for all the hours and hours of reading entertainment you give to your reading fans. We love you!
One More Kiss is the latest & greatest sweet, emotional story to be released by Samantha Chase. It follows a rock star on his journey to finding his true self & his one true love. While the band is on a break, Matt tried to headline a Broadway show & failed miserably. Totally humiliated & wanting to hide out, he headed to the last place anyone would look for him – back to his hometown where his best friend still lives. He didn’t realize his best friend’s little sister lived there too & she’s all grown up.
Ms. Chase has managed to create another great story in the Shaughnessy line. This book has characters that are familiar to readers of her books but won’t have them feeling lost if she is a new author. She remains true to her style of writing that tugs at your heart & engages your emotions while pulling you along the journey with her characters. The reader feels like they are part of the story as they watch the plot evolve. I really enjoyed this one & couldn’t put it down. I recommend this for anyone that loves sweet emotional romances with hot sexy guys!
When I read for fun, I want pure escapism. I love this Samantha Chase series, and I can’t wait for the Darcy book!
another great book written by Samatha Chase
