Since You've Been Gone by Samantha Chase (Magnolia Sound #8)

🐾🐾🐾🐾

Best friends and rescue animals = sold! Since You've Been Gone is a story of coming home and following your heart.

While coming home for the weekend seemed like a good escape from the recent fame he's gained on social media, Garrett is forced to face the only woman he's ever loved.

Emma has a lot on her plate, so when her childhood best friend comes back to visit, she's left reeling from what her life could've been.

The genuine friendship between Emma and Garrett is so heart-warming, especially his bond with the rest of her family. The animal rescue aspect will tug at your heart, and I loved the entire story! Magnolia Sound is a town I'd love to live in.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Emmaline Ryan has always been the smart, shy girl who plays it safe. But all that's gotten her is a divorce and a mountain of debt to pay off courtesy of her ex-husband. Needless to say, she's stopped believing in miracles and fairy tales a long time ago. Except now she's in desperate need of one of those miracles if she wants to save her family's animal rescue. Emmaline knows just where to go for help, but that means putting her faith in the hands of the man who once broke her heart without even realizing it.

Garrett Coleman met the girl of his dreams when he was just eight years old -- only, he never told her. But that was years ago. Now, Garrett has become a reluctant social media star -- the shirtless #HotDoc and #SexyVet who saves scared and helpless animals. Sure, it's been great for business, but he'd give anything for people to see the real him, preferably with a shirt on. When a visit home to Magnolia Sound has him running into the shy girl he left behind, he sees his chance at the future he never thought he deserved.

Unfortunately, he's not the only one back in town, and wooing Emmaline just became a lot more complicated. A lot has changed since he's been gone and Garrett is going to have to prove that he's up to the challenge. Emmaline might still be the sweet and quiet girl he left behind, but he's not sure she's willing to wait.

Last Beautiful Girl by Samantha Chase (Magnolia Sound #6)

💜💜💜💜💜

My favorite Magnolia Sound book so far! Such a beautifully heartbreaking story of love, loss and second chances. This book will make you cherish those you love and want to live each moment to the fullest.

The relationship between Sydney and her sister will tug at your heart. They're both suffering from the loss of loved ones, but each in their own way. Now an instant family, they have to figure out how to make things work.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

When Kyle Jones let Sydney Albright walk out of his life, he gave up on the idea of settling down. How could he when he broke the heart of the only woman he ever loved? For years he distracted himself with a parade of women, all the while hoping he would see Sydney again.

But he never wanted it to be like this...

Sydney wasn't prepared to become a mom overnight. When she loses her sister and brother-in-law in a tragic accident, she moves back home to become the caregiver for her heart broken niece. It is no surprise to her when the small town rallies to offer support to one of their own. However, that doesn't make Kyle showing up on her doorstep any less jarring.

While Kyle claims he is only there to help, Sydney is instantly on edge. Not only did she vow never to fall for him again, but his timing couldn't be worse. Her niece needs to be her number one priority. Still, seeing the pain in Sydney's eyes, Kyle won't turn his back on her...not again.

He always said she was the first beautiful girl he loved and now he's determined to make her the last.

Can't Help Falling in Love by Samantha Chase (Magnolia Sound #5)

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This book is on fire! Can't Help Falling in Love has plenty of swoon-worthy moments, tug at your heart scenes with a certain little boy, and plenty of romance to make your heart melt.

Prepare yourself to dive into Hunter and Violet's story - one where they definitely come from opposite sides of life. Hunter wants to put down roots and provide a stable life for his son, while Violet loves to travel the world and see new things.

I always love revisiting the citizens of Magnolia Sound! This definitely starts out as a slow burn romance, but there's more behind each of their stories than meets the eye. I jumped in with both feet and loved the ride. The true star of this book is Hunter's son Eli, he's a little ladies man in the making!

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Hunter Jones never thought that shared custody would be part of his life, but it's the only way to make sure his son still has both parents in his life. But when his ex's increasing unpredictability leads to a missed day care pick up, he's not so sure shared custody is the best option anymore. Never mind that he's now the one being accused of bad parenting by a total stranger.

Violet Drake has zero patience for poor parenting. There's nothing that angers her more than seeing parents behave in the same irresponsible way her own parents did throughout her childhood. But after going off on a perfect stranger late to pick up his son, her conscience gets the best of her and she realizes she may have been a little harsh.

Violet is only supposed to be in Magnolia Sound for a short time to help out her best friend, so getting involved with a single dad is the absolute last thing she should be doing.

Their timing is all kinds of wrong, but sometimes you just can't help yourself.

Test Drive by Samantha Chase (RoadTripping #3)

❤❤❤❤❤

My favorite book in the RoadTripping series so far! Test Drive is the perfect feel-good romantic comedy to get you in the summer mood.

Willow is in a pickle when she gets invited to her Gammy's birthday party, where they expect to meet her boyfriend. Trouble is, she's made up the guy she told everyone about, and named him after the handsome bartender she flirts with on occasion.

When Levi hears about Willow's need for a pretend boyfriend, he's hopeful this is the chance he's been looking for to finally make a move on her...

This was the perfect book to get me out of my reading funk. Levi's witty banter and Willow's clumsy nature (she's my kindred spirit in that aspect) make for one wild ride that will have you laughing along the way.

😄 Comedy

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Willow Andrew's life is a hot mess.

Coming from a family of successful professionals, the fact that at twenty-seven she still doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up doesn't sit well. Desperate not to disappoint her grandmother, she invents a fake boyfriend so Gammy won't worry so much. It seemed a victimless lie...until Gammy announced that Willow AND her boyfriend needed to be present at her 75th birthday party. Or else. Out of time and options, Willow turns to the sexy bartender she's been secretly crushing on for help.

Levi Sullivan has his life in order and thrives off helping others.

In fact, he would do anything to help out a friend. But he's angling for far more than friendship with Willow. Entranced by the clumsy beauty since the first time he watched her trip over nothing, he happily agrees to a chance to spend more time with her. Fake romance or not, he's determined to use their long-distance road trip to turn a game of pretend into something more.

In Case You Didn't Know by Samantha Chase (Magnolia Sound #3)

🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

In Case You Didn't Know is my favorite book in the Magnolia Sound series! Mason's story was well worth the wait, and possibly the one I've been most anxious for.

I'm so glad he was finally able to venture out on his own, where he can make his own choices and live his life. His family has good intentions, but they definitely went to far, but it was just the push Mason needed to be independent.

I adore Scarlett! Her strength is inspiring, proving that you can overcome any obstacle. Her blatant refusal to give in to Mason had me cheering her on and enjoying the slow burn.

Their chemistry is off the charts, and the fight to get the girl is worth the lack of sleep if you start their story after bed time...hypothetically, lol.

 💧 Drama

💋 Romance

Summary:

Golden child Mason Bishop has finally had enough. Tired of bearing the weight of his parents' expectations, he's determined to break free and forging his own path. It's time for him to go after the things he really wants - including the girl he never forgot.

Scarlett Jones is done being ruled by her insecurities. She's ready to be seen as something other than one of the guys, and she's done thinking she's not good enough for the social elite - especially the Bishops.

When he runs into Scarlett at a concert, Mason believes it's fate bringing them together. But fate only gets you so far. If he wants a real chance with Scarlett, it's going to take a whole lot of charm to convince her he's worth it.

Tangled Up in You by Samantha Chase (The Shaughnessy Brothers #7)

💜💜💜💜💜

Bobby and Teagan will have you believing in love after heartache. I loved the flashback in the beginning, with a young Bobby claiming a favor.

The story starts with Bobby's struggle after suffering a gunshot wound and not sure he'd be able to recover enough to be given active duty again. When he finds the perfect distraction in Teagan Shaughnessy, you just want to erase all the miles between them so they can be together.

Teagan has a crushing story of her own...when her fiance dies serving their country, she's left a single mom since pregnancy and her first priority has always been her son Lucas.

She never thought she could have those feelings for someone again, but doesn't want to put her heart out there, especially for someone lives far away.

Their journey to each other is inspiring. The kids and family encouragement (meddling) will keep you in stitches, and you'll find a permanent smile on your face while reading!

Until There Was Us by Samantha Chase (Montgomery Brothers #7)

💚💚💚💚💚

A one-time hookup at her cousins wedding was supposed to be a safe bet, since they both live on opposite coasts. After a failed reunion attempt a few months later, Alex Rebat is determined to move on from the girl he can't get out of his mind.

Megan Montgomery has always tried to make her father proud, but that means she's married to her job and has no time for men or dating. Especially when she's always trying to reach the high pedestal her father has placed her brother on.

Two years later, Megan's work brings her to Portland and through their mutual circle of friends, Alex is brought back into her life. Can they move on from all of the hurt, anger and current obstacles they're facing in life?

This story was filled with humor, love and drama. I cried both happy and sad tears, and don't regret a single moment of it! I can't wait to go back and read the rest of the series to see how the other characters you fall in love with, have came about.
