New York Times and USA Today Bestseller/contemporary romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan’s Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40’s to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well. When she’s not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.

How will Mac react when he sees Gina after all these years, she’s no longer the gawky little girl that used to run around his house? Instead, this beautiful grown woman is back and needs a shoulder to lean on. Will Mac be there for her? I love a story that has characters that are raw and real with a rage of emotion. Who will Gina confide in and can she trust Mac?

Wait for Me (The Montgomery Brothers, Book #1) by Samantha Chase is a refreshing and sweet beginning into the world of The Montgomery Family. Lucas Montgomery was a promising NFL star until an injury sidelined him and erased his dreams of professional sports in a split second. Now a life of solitude is what he prefers, at least that’s what everyone thinks.
Emma Taylor has worked for the Montgomery’s for a while and has secretly admired Lucas from afar. Mr. Montgomery senior, her boss, has noticed her desire for his son Lucas and feels that perhaps a little matchmaking might lure this recluse out of hiding. However, Lucas prefers to have very little contact in the office and that is where the fun begins.
Unfortunately this meddling matchmaker isn’t aware there’s a blizzard on the way. When a simple request to deliver a package leads to one unexpected detour, will Emma forgive either of the Montgomery men for what happens next?
Can Lucas admit his true feelings towards Emma or will he continue to push people away? If only he could stop hiding the truth and stop living with physical and emotional pain maybe he’d have no regrets.
Signals get crossed just when Emma thinks she’s finally figured Luke out. When it all comes to a boil, Luke has a lot of explaining to do. Will Emma listen to him or keep him on the bench permanently?
I received this book from the publisher for a fair and honest review. This first book is available as a stand alone or you can buy the first two books as a bundle. Either way- it’s a must read!
Trust in Me (The Montgomery Brothers, Book #2)

Convinced that there isn’t a woman out there who will fill the requirements, he allows his dad to find a solution. What happens when he gives his dad one simple request for his upcoming travel itinerary is where the adventure begins. Can Mr. Montgomery curb his matchmaking itch?
Maggie Barrett has a secret and working with the Montgomery family has kept her hidden and she’s been just fine with that. What will happen when Jason discovers the real reason Maggie has kept hidden at work? Determined to not let the past guide her she vows to stick to the plan. Unfortunately Jason missed that memo. Will Maggie be able to trust again? Will Jason realize what he needs before it’s too late?

Guest Post – Which Montgomery Brother Is Right For You? With Author Samantha Chase
With plenty of Montgomery Brother books on shelves now (and more coming your way soon) bestselling author Samantha Chase invites you to take this quiz to find out which Montgomery man is right for you.
What is your ideal hero’s idea of a perfect date?
a) Wandering the aisles of IKEA – if you don’t break down and start yelling at each other, then you know it is meant to be!
b) Locking yourself in your office to work. Who has time for fancy dates?!?!
c) A pizza picnic at the local arboretum. Ten points to the one who can guess the most species of plants and flowers!
d) Bungee jumping followed by a long, hot soak in a hot tub. The both can provide an adrenaline rush!
Which flavor of ice cream do you associate with your guy?
a) Neapolitan because there are just so many different sides to this man.
b) Coffee Mocha Fudge because he is strong and intense and can stay up…all night long.
c) Rocky Road because loving him is a journey with ups and down, but definitely worth it!
d) Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough because he is amazingly sweet and indulges your every whim.
Where would your perfect man take you on vacation?
a) An isolated ski chalet, including a snow storm that would keep you two alone for days.
b) New York City – plenty to do there, both business and pleasure.
c) A super-private beach resort where you can feel like you’re the only ones there, complete with candlelit dinners and dancing in the moonlight.
d) A nature walk in the woods, a pampering day at the spa, whale watching … it really doesn’t matter to him, as long as you can be together.
Your man’s best quality is:
a) His nurturing nature. Once you get past his gruff exterior, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for you.
b) Rock solid work ethic.
c) Independence. He knows who he is and doesn’t let anyone push him around.
d) Deep down loyalty to everyone he cares about.
His best physical feature is:
a) His devastatingly strong shoulders – he’s got the body of an athlete.
b) His smile – wicked or sweet, one smile can melt your heart.
c) His hands – he really knows how to use them!
d) His kind, soulful eyes that see the real you.
A romantic gesture that he plans just for you is…
a) Having the band play only slow songs so he can continue to dance with you in his arms.
b) Buying you tickets to your very favorite sporting event.
c) Planning a surprise engagement party!
d) Sweeping you off your feet (literally!) to convince you that he loves you and wants you to stay – forever.

If you chose mostly ‘A’s, then Lucas Montgomery from Wait for Me is your soul mate. To the world, Lucas seems like a loner, but deep down he’s not. He cares fiercely about the people in his life and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for them. He may come off as grouchy, but don’t let his growling get to you because this just hides his big heart. Lucas is not afraid to apologize and admit when he’s wrong and, in the end, he’ll do anything to prove how much he loves you.
If you chose mostly ‘B’s, then you will not be able to take your eyes off of the delicious Jason Montgomery from Trust in Me. Confident, level-headed, and seemingly all about business, Jason is a man of action. He likes to take control of almost any situation and prefers things to go his way. But all this aside, he’s considerate of those around him and pays close attention to details – a person’s likes and dislikes – and incorporates them into the relationship. Whether it’s business or pleasure, Jason is a man who takes notes and remembers exactly what it is that will mean the most to you.
If you chose mostly ‘C’s, then James Montgomery from Return to You is the hero of your dreams. James is a very hands-on type of man. He enjoys working with his hands and his love language is primarily all about the touching. He puts his heart and soul into everything he does – he loves deeply and hurts just as much. His pride and his need for privacy may get in the way at times, but the lucky woman in his life will know that she is everything to him because he loves so completely.
If you chose mostly ‘D’s, Meant for You’s Ethan Reed will have you melting like butter. While he may not be a Montgomery, he has been in the family for years as a best friend and confidant. There is nothing boring about Ethan! The woman in his life had better enjoy a well-rounded lifestyle because Ethan offers it all – romance, adventure, passion. He knows his limitations and his sense of loyalty to the people that mean the most to him may have him hesitating in going after what it is that he truly wants, but in the end, he’ll make it worth the wait!

Meant For You (The Montgomery Brothers Series, Book 5) by Samantha Chase has it all, lots of surprises, a meddling family, and lots of chemistry. A must read adventure that will keep you in suspense until the very last page!
All her life Summer Montgomery has lived in the shadows of her protective family and is frustrated that she’s not treated the same as her brothers. When will they take her for the strong and smart women that she is? When will they wake up and realize what she’s capable of?

Return to You (Montgomery Brothers Book4), by Samantha Chase, is fresh and fabulous must read! Selena Ainsley has spent the past ten years wondering why James Montgomery left town while she was in a coma after a horrific car accident. Everything fell apart – her relationship with James and her parents was destroyed that fateful day. In order to survive she decided to move on and that meant leaving town.
When Selena’s best friend Jen phones asking for help to organize a ten year high school reunion, she hesitates. If she agrees to help out then that means she has to return home. Returning meant dealing with unpleasant memories and family, not a priority on her to-do list. If Selena was going to return home it would take something big. When a mysterious donor funds the entire reunion with a sizeable budget Selena still hesitates. What will it take to get her to return? Can she return to town and avoid the past? Nothing prepared Selena for the moment they came face to face, it happened when she wasn’t expecting to see him.
Both Selena and James have their own set of secrets, will the truth finally come out? Is there room for forgiveness? Will they move forward once and for all? They need to figure out if there’s still a connection? Communication and honesty are essential now. Do they have what it takes to relive the past and face a future, whatever that may be?
This story has it all, surprises, meddling family members, unfulfilled dreams and chemistry that keeps you in suspense and connected. This book is chock full of heart-stopping and sweet events that made me consume this in one sitting. I had to know what happened and you will want to know too, do they get back together?
I received this ARC for a fair and honest review but will happily purchase any future books by Samantha Chase! I absolutely loved this story and look forward to catching up on all the Montgomery Brother’s.
