One More Chance by Samantha Chase Release Blitz

Years ago, he hopped on a bus to pursue his dreams in the music business.
But that meant leaving behind the girl who could never really be his.

Mick Tyler is insanely successful and has achieved everything he ever wanted, but he’s never been more miserable. Feeling a little disenchanted and introspective, he can’t help but let his mind wander through all of life’s “what if” moments. The biggest what if? What if I hadn’t walked away from the girl of my dreams—the one who had dreams of her own. And now that he’s thought about her once, he can’t stop wondering.

Sienna Ashley is desperate for a little excitement. As thrilling and satisfying as her pursuit of scientific research has been for her intellect, it’s left her heart feeling a little neglected. For years she dreamed of finding someone who not only understood her brains but accepted her and all her quirks. Once upon a time she thought she’d found that someone, but it’s been years since he walked out of her life.

Past and present collide when Mick and Sienna unexpectedly come face to face. Together, they decide to see what could have happened had they chosen a different path all those years ago. But they’ve given themselves a deadline. Two weeks. Two glorious weeks to either work each other out of their systems, or to embark on the love of a lifetime.

Mick has lived his dream. He made it. Despite his upbringing and where he came from, he was able to move to L.A., and now he has houses all over the place, is a household name, and people want him to represent them.

Sienna is incredibly accomplished for being so young. Having skipped some grades and graduated college super early, being a scientist is what she has accomplished and she's very good at her job. After a conference, she meets up with her brother before heading out on a two-week vacation. Sienna is a planner and she's going to try and take this vacation one day at a time – no plans.

Mick runs into Sienna after years and years. He's just as attracted to her, still loves her, and is in a place where he knows exactly what he wants. Sienna is just as attracted to Mick, but she's not sure about her future.

With a sick friend back home who encourages Sienna to live and not let life pass her by, Sienna and Mick will take the two weeks and reconnect, explore, live, and love.

These two have a sweetheart love. It's a young love that never truly had a chance to blossom. Watching these two navigate their professional worlds and their personal worlds was a joy. You'll be cheering them on and I can't wait to see what happens with these characters.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the fourth book in the series, and whilst the others deal with the romances of the band members, this is Mick's story, the man who made them famous. He has realised that he is, in fact, lonely – not helped by Shaughnessy's band members all being happily settled down.

Over twenty years ago, Mick left home and crossed the country to L.A. to follow his ambition to be in the music business. The only thing he regretted leaving behind was Sienna, the super bright 16-year-old sister of his best friend. He has never forgotten her, but it was better that she got on with her life rather than follow him in his quest for success.

Sienna went onto college and is now a leading researcher and lecturer in her field. She is in New York at a conference when her brother persuades her out to dinner... where, by pure chance, Mick is also eating. This could have been very awkward, but actually both successful articulate people in their thirties and forties, they hit it off and catch up late into the night. 😎 This maturity in their behaviour is a really enjoyable side of this book. Their careers have led them in very different directions, but they are respectful and agree to suspend reality for a fortnight and enjoy just time together. I loved how the band got involved, as well as Sienna's big brother, and the very precious Eleanor.

There are so many lovely and poignant elements to this story, and I think they are best enjoyed fresh, so let me just assure you that there is a lot to commend this second-chance romance.

One More Moment by Samantha Chase

Julian Grayson is taking a break
...from his cheating fiancée
...from his band
...from his life in the spotlight

Charlotte Clark is devoted to her work
...to save the world
...to help the homeless
...to get a broken man back on his feet

When Charlotte Clark offers to pay for Julian Grayson's coffee, the world-famous drummer assumes she wants something from him. But Charlotte has no idea who he is, and Julian can't resist keeping up the charade—being incognito is a novelty and a relief. He'll have to tell her... eventually. But as Charlotte cheerfully undertakes to transform his life, Julian realizes there's something about her that gives him what he hasn't felt in years: hope.

There is so much I could say about this book, and it would all be true.

Julian's character has been hurt so many time and goes out of his way to step up and be the person that everyone can depend on. On his wedding day, he decides he needs a break and does the unthinkable. He outs his fiancée’s cheating on him to everyone just before they say their vows. Needing a much-needed break, he leaves town on the back of his bike seeking solace in the unknown.

Charlotte Clark is a social worker who helps people who, for whatever reason, that have lost their way. Growing up, she watched her father struggle after losing his job. Knowing that the pain of that loss affects more than the adults, she does her best to make sure the entire family finds stability during trying times.

When she meets Julian, she sees that he's struggling with something, but not sure what. Julian can't help thinking that everyone wants something from him. When Charlotte buys him a coffee when he forgets his wallet, he can't help but think that of her. He can't seem to accept that she wants nothing in return.

As he gets to know her better, he sees the kindness in her and begins to believe again. Then his ex shows up and reminds him that he can't trust those who supposedly love him.

A great book that I highly recommend. I couldn't put it down.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the third book in the series, and somehow I missed the earlier ones, but will be rectifying that when I find the time. I have, however, read many Samantha Chase novels and enjoyed them all, so was certain this would be good. If you are a big fan of rock star romances, like me, then you will definitely enjoy this one.

Julian has spent the last five years with someone that he now finds himself about to marry... but he has a plan to ensure that he doesn't. A really dramatic start to a book, and an act which it turns out affected him almost more than anyone else. As the book develops, we get to understand what type of a guy he is and why this was such an uncharacteristic act, and such a damaging one. Luckily, he has some great bandmates, and meets a woman who has nothing but good intentions at heart.

Charlotte is a normal woman, with an important job helping others. She just can't help herself, which is how she comes across Julian, and the whole misunderstanding gives them a chance to get to know each other. I love that she is so self-aware that she worries about how she will survive afterwards, as she will not be able to help going all in. She is not fearful, just a realist.

The author cleverly piles the pressure on Julian and gives us both their viewpoints, so that we can appreciate how even the kindest exchange of words can trigger bad reactions, and pick at the underlying issues. Obviously, there is a master plan, and the reader just has to be patient and hopeful that both of these people will get the future they deserve.

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan's Return, in November 2011. Teaching creative writing to students from elementary through high school motivated Samantha to take that step as well. Since then, she has become a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. She lives with her husband of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.
