I LOVED Bobby and Teagan’s story! These two were perfect together. They just clicked immediately. Bobby was so sweet with Lucas, and it was awesome seeing both of them come together, even after someone tried just about everything to keep them apart. My heart broke for both of them, and the challenges they faced. A fantastic addition to the Shaughnessy series I would highly recommend!!
I loved Tangled Up In You by Samantha Chase. I fell in love with Bobby and my heart hurt for him and his struggles trying to cope with being shot and having to rely on help from others. He is a strong alpha male, and needing to depend on others does not set well with him.
Teagan is an amazingly strong single mother who has been through a lot. She understands and validates Bobby’s feelings in a way no else does, and that draws him to her more. Their chemistry jumps off the pages. It’s more than insta-lust. There is a strong connection neither can deny. I loved her phone call to him telling him she needed him.
I loved their relationship. Felt their struggles. Loved Lucas and his relationship with Bobby. And when Bobby received the news he never wanted to get, I loved that is was Quinn who kicked him out of his head and opened his eyes to what needed to be done.
This is an emotional, heart-warming story that I’m sure I will read again!
Second chance at life and love. Teagan and Bobby are a fun couple. Life hasn’t been easy and Samantha Chase catches the ups and downs beautifully in the couple. While it is book 7 it would easily be a standalone book. I could not put the book down.

Perfect Beach Read!
Bobby Hannigan and Teagan Shaughnessy meet when both their lives are in transition but, despite having so many unknowns, their connection feels right.
Using the beautiful Carolina Coast as her backdrop, Samantha Chase beautifully crafted a light-hearted but emotional story of finding new love and yourself. The summer setting combined with a longer timeline, I’m really loving stories that give us more than a few weeks and then jump to the epilogue set in the future, makes this book feel deeper and richer while also making it a satisfying lighter read.
It was so fun to catch-up with all the Shaughnessy siblings and spouses as well as the Band on the Run couples but Tangled Up In You can very much be read as a stand-alone for those of you new to the Shaughnessy world, but trust me you’ll want to dive in after reading this one!
I received a complimentary review copy of this book but all opinions are my own.
Samantha Chase’s Tangled Up In You is an honest and heartbreaking story of one man’s struggle to accept that an injury may prevent him from returning to a job that he loves. I loved Bobby Hannigan’s relationship with Quinn Shaughnessy in the earlier books in this series, especially when Quinn started to date his sister Anna. Their give and take relationship is tested as Quinn is tasked with telling Bobby about the extent of his injuries. Ms Chase kept the characters true to themselves in this poignant, important conversation. These paragraphs are perfectly written-honest, heartbreaking and emotional. Most importantly, they set the tone for the story.
Teagan Shaughnessy and her five year old son Lucas have moved from Colorado to North Carolina for a fresh start. Her parents have relocated with them and Teagan has found her dream job as an elementary school guidance counselor. Lucas’ father died before he was born. Teagan is a strong self-sufficient single mom who earned both her undergrad and graduate degrees while caring for her son. Lucas is Teagan’s world until Bobby shows up at a family barbeque.
Samantha Chase writing style has evolved in this series-she excels in writing small town stories filled with relatable characters. In Tangled Up In You, she digs into the emotional after effects of a life threatening injury and the unexpected, tragic loss of a loved one. Being a cop defined Bobby Hannigan. Teagan’s life was turned upside down when Logan, her fiancé was killed in Afghanistan. She has concentrated on her studies and her son comes first.
I loved how Bobby and Teagan’s story unfolded during this book. Teagan tells Bobby that they can only be friends but, that quickly changes. Their chemistry sizzled and their sensuous love scenes were perfectly written for this couple. Loved how the relationship between Bobby and Lucas developed—lots of humor when Bobby teaches Lucas how to play ball.
The conflict between these two strong willed characters kept me reading—Bobby is all about being a cop and Teagan is afraid that one day he will not come home. Samantha Chase has written a book centered on family; what it means to be part of a family, how to accept unconditional love and most of all to have faith in each other. Ms. Chase’s descriptive voice kept me reading – as I wasn’t sure how the story would play out.
I enjoyed this fabulous story—it has all the feels—and – yes, she made me cry—again!
I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I am an avid Samantha Chase fan, and this is not the first book that I’ve read by her. I love the way she writes! Her stories are sweet and romantic but without too much heat to make you blush while you’re reading them.
Teagan and Bobby’s story is Book #7 in the Shaughnessy Brothers Series but it can definitely be read as a stand-alone. Teagan is a single mom to Lucas who moves to NC (my state) from Colorado to be closer to family and start a new job. Bobby is a police officer who is recovering from being shot while off duty, but he is also a confirmed bachelor who has dated every girl in town until he meets “the one”.
“Tangled Up in You” by Samantha Chase is book # 7 in The Shaughnessy Brothers. Even though it is book #7 it can very well be read as a standalone. You will want to go back and read the first 6 after you’ve read this book. This book just like all of the other Shaughnessy books pulled me in and didn’t let go until I was done. It was a quick and easy read. This book made me laugh as well as made me cry. Samantha always writes wonderful and emotional stories. I don’t know how she does it but each book is better than the one before it. This book has it all sense of family, passion, love and all the emotions that go along with a great story. This is not a book to be missed.
Bobby and Teagan’s unexpected love story is another amazing addition to Samantha Chase’s Shaughnessy Brothers series. We met Bobby when he sister Anna finally found her HEA with Quinn Shaughnessy in Always My Girl; but book seven, Tangled Up in You, is a standalone story and all relevant information is provided. Playboy Bobby suffered a gunshot wound which could end his police career. He can’t imagine what he would do if that happens and becomes quite the grouch. Then he encounters Teagan, a single mom who just moved with her young son to the Carolina coast to be near her Shaughnessy cousins. She, more than anyone, understands Bobby’s struggles, but they each have plans for a future, that did not involve falling in love. It might not be the best of times for this to happen to them, but then it does feel right. Maybe, a change in plans, jobs, and locations will make life easier for Bobby and Teagan to together, have their own happy ending.
I really enjoyed revisiting with Anna and Quinn, especially seeing Quinn giving Bobby payback for all those times he tried to interfere in his relationship with Anna. Teagan and her son fit right in with all the Shaughnessys, their wives, and their children. Teagan’s parents also made a great impact on this relationship and story. Of course, Bobby and Teagan needed all the help they could get.
Ms. Chase wrote a wonderful and emotional story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Bobby and Teagan the love, understanding and future together, that they both needed. I highly recommend Tangled Up in You to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
There isn’t a Chase book that I haven’t absolutely loved and this one is no exception!!!
Bobby & Teagan are so good together. They both have a lot of baggage to work through but they have a ton of support to get through it.
The author really shows you the true sense of love and family with this one!!!
Finally Bobby got his story, and what story it is: great, awesome, heartwarming.
Bobby got shot and is recovering. During one of the visits to his sister, he meets Teagan. She is afraid of relationship, her son is only what matters.
Would Bobby be able to convince Teagan to give their relationship a try?
Loved it.
A Samantha Chase read is like a favorite treat. There’s no way I can stop at just one. Chase opens our eyes to the best and worst that emotion has to offer by showing our hearts all the possibilities. Tangled Up in You is my lastest addiction. Chase gives readers a stroll down memory lane with a familiar family and some fresh new faces. Finally, Bobby Hannigan gets what he deserves and it’s not what I’d have expected. I remember Bobby as Anna’s older brother, from Always my Girl and to be honest, he didn’t make the best first impression. However, with a little help from life, he cleans up quite nice. The human bulldozer finally shows us his sensitive side. Who knew a Shaughnessy could tame the beast by giving him a reason to smile?
Samantha Chase has done it again – she has combined a perfect sense of family, terrific story telling and the exact amount of passion and emotion to completely captivate her readers. I absolutely loved the honest and true romance between Bonny and Teagen. Just when Bobby thinks all of his hopes and dreams are dashed away with one bullet wound, along comes Teagen who is at a cross roads in her life. She thinks she only has time to be a single mother but when the two are brought together at a family BBQ all bets are off. You never know where your life will end up when your goals change – you just have to be open to the possibilities. This was another fabulous read from Samantha Chase.
Wow! Tangled Up In You, is a wonderful

This was a fast, easily read, feel good book.
The story of Bobby and Teagan will fill you with emotions throughout their journey. Teagan’s son Lucas was a cute bonus, along with all their families making appearances.
So much in a relatively short time, but when it’s right, it’s right and you just know it.
I received an ARC thru NetGalley and am giving my honest thoughts and opinions
First-Rate!! This story swept me away! A story of the highs and lows of real relationships. Teagan and Bobby’s relationship is about dealing with real life problems and being able overcome them on the way to forever. Romantic, sexy, fun and at times heartbreaking! I loved it!!
Every time I finish a Samantha Chase book, I wonder how she’ll ever top it. The emotions, the characters, the sense of family, the passion – every story she writes surpasses the one before it. Tangled Up in You is my new favorite! It follows the Band on the Run series & is book 7 of the Shaughnessy Brother series.
Bobby Hannigan and Teagan Shaughnessy are perfect for each other. They’ve both been hurt emotionally & weren’t ready to settle down. There was an instant connection when they first met that made it apparent they belonged together. Teagan’s son, Lucas, and the Shaughnessy children added affection & a lightness to the story. The characters from the earlier stories make an appearance but this could still be read as a stand alone. This was a great story that pulled me in & didn’t let go until it was done. Make sure you have plenty of time to read it because you aren’t going to want to put it down!
