I was content with being a bachelor, never planned on settling down. Why would I, when every woman in my life, starting with my own mother, always walked out and never looked back.I liked my strict Army life—all I needed after my deployment was a vacation and time with my dad. Then it all changed… kiss.
One smile.
Her smile.
That was all it took to captivate me and send my world spinning on its axis. After that, I knew I’d never be the same.

What a great story written by this wonderful author! I loved Stacey and Peyton’s chemistry and their HEA was beautiful <3 This was a great addition to the "Until Series" from the Happily Ever Alpha World!
When Peyton returns from a deployment, he takes his R&R and goes the hour home so that he can see his father and catch up with some friends. It’s at one of those drinks with friends that he meets Stacey, and gets hit with the boom. Luckily for him, Stacey agrees to getting something to eat after the drinks and then for a date the next day. From there the two spend the majority of his R&R together. But what happens when its time for Peyton to return back to post? Will being with a soldier be too much of a strain for Stacey? Is the hour distance apart too much for the two to handle?
This was a cute read for me. Peyton and Stacey had very little drama, and a whole lot of chemistry. Couple of things about the Army were off, but non-military affiliated people won’t pick up on that. I give this 4 stars.
I absolutely love Peyton and Stacey!! He was a serious serviceman who was commitment shy and she was a beautiful songwriter who met one night in lively Nashville. Their connection was instant; their feelings overwhelming. He was only home for a short time and he needed to see Stacey as often as he could. Stacey was very special and now was the time for him to man up and take a chance on happiness. He is thrilled that Stacey and his Dad got along so well, because his Dad was very important to him.
Stacey knew she was interested in Peyton when she heard his deep, sexy voice and when she turned and looked up at him, she wasn’t disappointed. He was handsome, funny and she loved his sexy stubble. She enjoyed listening to him talk about his Army career, and she was impressed with his bravery. Even though they had just met, she desperately needed to see him again before he returned to the Army base. She wrote country songs for a living, and the love at first sight she felt for Peyton would make for a beautiful and romantic new song.
Can Peyton and Stacey blend his Army career with her busy songwriting life?
Can you really fall in love that quickly when the right one comes along?
If you are looking for a quick summer read this is it. Enjoyed the book. Sometimes you are just looking for a light hearted read with nothing angsty. This was it!
Until Her Smile is about Peyton and Stacey. Stacey writes country music, and has recently had a few big hits with a big singer. Peyton is in the Army, and has just returned from a deployment. He takes his R&R by going home to spend time with his dad and catch up with friends. His first night home, he meets one of his buddies and some other friends out at a bar. He is very intrigued with Stacey from the moment they meet, and she with him. The chemistry between these two is something else. Peyton has pretty much sworn off relationships due to past experiences, but will he be willing to put that behind him and pursue one with Stacey? He’s only in Nashvilled for 10 days, can they work this out once he is back on base about an hour or so away? Can she relocate if he gets stationed elsewhere? You should read to find out. It read really fast for me, and I loved the characters and the story,
A quick, hot and steamy read. Peyton & Stacy meet and have an intense lust filled chemistry that has them in an impromptu two week fling while Peyton is on military leave. What happens when Peyton’s time is up? Can these two make it work? A cute read!!
This was a super easy read, no angst, no drama, it was a well written sweet romance, with a hit of steam. Stacey and Peyton meet it was insta attraction, the relationship was fast but enjoyable to read.
3.5 stars
This was such a sweet story. All the characters were great. I loved how this story was fast paced. Peyton is in town for a short time when he meets Stacy. These 2 have a great connection and you know they are it for each other. Great read.
Great story with a lot of emotion in it. Guy coming into town from the military for a short time, looking to relax and take a break. Girl who life is busy with song writing and events. He was hurt many times and looking for anything. But one look and to see her smile was all it took to take a chance again. It is a very deep moving book and one you will enjoy reading and getting to know the people.
A story about true love and soulmates. This book had me to the edge of my seat waiting to see what happen next. I loved the chemistry that Stacy and Peyton had from the start. A great book, must read.
Sweet, sexy and fun. This book is all about attraction at first sight and a growing love. It lacks the drama of most romances but that’s ok cause you have a sexy song writer and handsome soldier to make up for it.
Sweet, romantic, a quick read that will make you smile!
Stacey & Peyton’s story is a quick instant connection. I loved both characters & their interactions with friends & Peyton’s dad. They also have quite a bit of steam going on!!
Overall quite a fun read!! : )
This was a cute read. I enjoyed it very much. Gotta love a military man.
This was my first book by Lind. I enjoyed the story as well as the writing style. It was a quick, entertaining read that held my attention. i liked the instalove aspect of the relationship Stacey and Peyton formed.
My only real critique is the lack of any drama in the book. As much as I’m all for not having the couple “break up,” a little drama would have enhanced this story in my opinion.
Peyton military life doesnt want a relationship after his mom leaves. Finds stacy unexpectly and falls for her smile. They fall fast. What a beautiful love story.
A sweet romance that shows sometimes love at first sight is possible! Peyton thought he had all he needed until he saw Stacey’s bright beautiful smile and then he knew he needed nothing more then her!
This is my first Samantha Lind book and I saw a lot of her characters are from another series and this little book definitely has me wanting to go and read them!
This book was amazing! I couldn’t put it down! Peyton who doesn’t do relationships, is home on leave from the Army. He meets Stacey, who is a song writer at a bar where a few mutual friends get together to celebrate. They start talking and everything clicks and they want to spend more time with getting to know each other. Their story was a little fast paced but in a good way. I would love to read more books by Samantha, she is a fantastic writer and knows how to keep a reader interested.
eyton is an army man who is in for life. He was raised by his dad after him mom left them. His only attempt at a relationship ended when he came home to find her with two men. He has sworn off women.
That is until he meets Stacey. Stacey is a song writer who meets Peyton while out with mutual friends in Nashville.
The chemistry is instant and they connect quickly
And strongly. They move fast in their relationship.
Positives is there is no drama with this couple. The connect and are open to it. They are good to and for each other.
I wish there was more depth to the characters. Peyton comes back for a two week leave after being over sees but then stays in TN for two years? I also felt with the focus on protection the surprise pregnancy wasn’t necessary. This couple didn’t need that.
This was a sweet read. Liked the dual POV.
I am volunteering to leave a review for this book
Thank you for your review.
Hmm a sweet simple love story. To be honest not much really happens in the book. They meet, they fall in love. That’s it. No drama, no angst. It’s ok but no real meat on the bones of a good story. I also felt at times the dialogue between Peyton and Stacey was quite stiff, almost formal and didn’t flow like a natural conversation would.
This book may be part of the happily ever alpha series connected to Aurora Rose Reynolds Until series but if you are hoping for a glimpse of some old favourite characters this doesn’t provide that. Cash is briefly in it for about two sentences and maybe mentioned twice more than that in passing.
All in all a very quick simple read that doesn’t take long
