Lucky 22 by Ashley Eckstein and New York Times Best Selling Author Samantha Chaseย is a sweet romance inspired by a true story.
A captivating modern-day fairy tale shows us how powerful numbers can be, the importance of following your heart, and that when you find your person…you will know!
What will happen when an actress and an MLB Baseball player discover they have a connection that’s worth exploring?
Ella Rose Holt and Christian Lucas both believe in being true to themselves and each other.
Will they be able to spend time together away from the cameras, or will the pressure of their jobs leave them very little time?
All they need is a little luck and a sprinkle of fairy dust for their own magical moment on and off the field, and on the big screen!
From the stunning illustrated cover to the last page I loved this collaboration, the cute and subtle way they changed names and places, and the story…the love story.
If you love baseball, movies, magical moments, and a sweet love story you will want to grab a copy!
Always honest. Always my own. Thankful to Samantha Chase for a gifted galley copy.

I just finished #Resort Kiss (Lakeview Harbor Book 5) by Samantha Chase and I still get all the โfeelsโ when reading her books. In fact, from the moment I read Wait For Me over a decade ago I have enjoyed every series, standalone, and novella.
Itโs time for our last trip to Lakeview Harbor and once again Samantha Chase takes us on the most magical and memorable adventure! This sinfully sweet with a little heat romance is the perfect way to end a series.
Evie is tired of being underestimated and needs a change…perhaps an adventure in the great outdoors will clear the cobwebs and provide the fresh start she desires.
Slater is ready to help his friend step out of her comfort zone. Wil this free-spirited, adventure seeking bachelor realize that the only woman he needs is the one who almost got away?
Sometimes one kiss is all it takes to realize that the best relationships start from friendships.ย Itโs time for these friends to admit how they really feel, take a risk, and stop comparing themselves to everyone else around them.
From the blue skies to the lush scenery this outdoor adventure is waiting to be explored. But first, Slater will need to overcome his fears of turning into the one thing he despises. Just like the trails Slater hikes, the paths less taken usually lead to the most unexpected adventures. However, it’s always a good idea to have bug and bear spray, sunscreen, and sunglasses.
Go grab this sinfully sweet book book and one-click the rest of this series. While they can each be read asย standalones I recommend reading them all because they are that good!ย
Always honest, always my own, and thankful toย Samantha Chase for a gifted advance e-readerย copy.

Welcome back to Authors Dish where authors share a little bit about themselves. I’m always so appreciative when they take the time to chat and hang out a bit while writing all the adventures we crave. I’ll be sharing their links and bio so if they are a new author for ya, you’ll have all the info you need to check them out.
If you’re an author and interested in dishin’ comment below or hit me up on any of my social media platforms.
Today we’ve gotย NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase ready to dish!
Rae: Do you have a โwordโ of the year to keep you motivated and inspired or are you a monthly planner setting goals as you go?
Samantha: I tend to forget to pick a word, and then when I do, I never stick to it. I always have an overall plan for the year, but never a word. And I know Iโm in the minority on that one. But Iโm constantly pivoting too because not all plans go as planned.
Rae: If youโre a snow lover, what outdoor adventures do you look forward to? If you prefer sunshine and warm breezes with a little sand beneath your feet where would I find you?
Samantha: It rarely snows in North Carolina, but itโs definitely cold. But I am an indoor cat no matter what the season. When it does snow, I love watching it fall while sitting and sipping cocoa in front of the fire. We go to the coast once a year for a week โ in the off season because I hate the heat during the summer and Iโm fair-skinned so I burn easily โ and I LOVE being there in October and being able to walk along the beach. Itโs not crowded, the temps are cooler, and it just makes me happy.
Rae: What are the top five things you’ve found to help motivate and keep you on task as you stay organized while working on your goals for 2026 and beyond.
Samantha: HmmโฆI donโt know. Got any suggestions?? Lol!
Honestly, having my planner and putting up those sticky notes help me more than anything. Other than that, it depends on the day and my mood. Iโm not structured at all.
Rae: Do you have a winter bucket list?
Samantha: Nope. Just to stay warm.
Rae: You just found out a snowstorm is headed your way and you need to run to one store to pick up provisions to last for three days. Where are you shopping and what are you putting in your cart
Samantha: I always want to bake when thereโs a storm coming. So I buy either brownie mixes or ingredients to bake cupcakes. I make sure we have all the makings for comfort foods: yummy soups, everything for some gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, and pretty much anything I can cook in the crockpot like a beef stew or chili.
Rae: To celebrate friendship and love this month what books should I read in your backlist to give me all the feels?
Samantha: For friendship, I recommend either the Enchanted Bridal series (especially FRIDAY NIGHT BRIDES) or the Meet Me at the Altar series.
For loveโฆwell, they all fit for that! But if you were looking to get started, I would say the Donovans or the Shaughnessy series.
Rae: What is your favorite meal to make for that special someone, friend, significant other, or family?
Samantha: My turkey chili is a big favorite for friends and family. It was the last meal my dad requested from me before he passed. For my husband, he loves my chicken parm.
Rae: What is your favorite quote or poem that inspires friendship or love?
Samantha: โLots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.โ โ Oprah Winfrey
*Iโm not an Oprah fan, but this quote really spoke to me many years ago*
Rae: You have the opportunity to take your special someone or bestie on a dream experienceโฆ where are you going and what are you doing?
Samantha: My husband has always wanted to go to Alaska. Weโre not tour-group kind of people, but I know itโs the only way to see all the real sites. Iโd love to do it by land, sea, and air. I think it would be so cool and weโd take a couple of weeks to do it right.
Rae: Are you watching the winter Olympics live, recording everything on the DVR to watch later, or catching the highlight reels on tv and social media?
Samantha: Just catching the highlight reels. I honestly donโt enjoy sitting in front of the TV for too long. An hour is my max per day. And there are very few events that interest me.
