Logan by Samantha Chase is a contemporary romance that will satisfy a friends to lovers craving.Logan is ready to make his way and fight for what he wants, but is he willing to challenge his father, the head of the Blackthorne dynasty? It’s time to find out what he’s made of and if he’s willing to risk everything to have his own happy-ever-after.
Piper is ready to set out and have the dream job she always wanted but there’s just one problem finalizing her future. Will a visit back home with her father help bring things into focus? Will she have the strength to challenge the obstacles before her? The only thing she doesn’t plan on is the reunion that awaits, will she embrace it or keep her feelings unspoken? It’s time for Piper to take charge in every way and Logan just might be the man to help her on that journey.
Faced with choices and deadlines, Piper and Logan head to Maine to sort it all out. The discoveries are no where close to what they expected. It’s time to unlock the past, have faith and open up to love. There is nothing more exciting than a few games with a childhood friend to open up your heart.
The people in King Harbor, Maine are genuine and there is fluidity into each adventure as multiple authors have woven each many of the characters into their own story. This carries over and their voices are solid. The characters you love are here and their arcs have blossomed. I can’t wait to see how this all ends in the last installment. New to the series? No problem, you can pick up at any point and dive in, though I highly recommend reading in order ;).
This sinfully sweet romance is hotter than sweet with bedroom romance that tingles in all the right places, and a dash of spice to satisfy that slightly spicy craving. Logan will leave you wanting more and Samantha always delivers a solid story with characters that are rich, passionate and ready to find love.
The 7 Brides for 7 Blackthornes is a series that has been carefully plotted and planned as the voice carries over from book to book despite being written by multiple authors. Readers, don’t miss this gem, grab your copy today. This book, as well as the others in the series is no exception. One-click now for a must read if you love Samantha Chase.

It’s time to go back to Magnolia Sound! IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW by Samantha Chase is out now – lovers of small town romance won’t want to miss this one!

While each book in the Magnolia Sound series can be read as a standalone, I feel very strongly that these books should be read in order to appreciate the attention to detail Samantha takes with her books. There is something magical when previous characters find their way into a current release.
Mason Bishop is tired of his parents schemes and deception and when he does the unexpected, it throws everyone off.
Scarlett Jones is fiesty, a mechanic, and totally into the one man she shouldn’t be. When their paths cross it’s a fabulous meet-cute and then Samantha does what she does best, shazam. We discover there are secrets in this small town and pops isn’t there to corroborate or defend his reasons.
Two people from different parts of town will discover that blood is thick, but friendships and love sometimes outwin biology. If they can accept their differences and the choices those around them have made, they might have a chance to discover a real love. One that others dream of.
It is EVERYTHING. I laughed, I cried, and now wish I could actually visit Magnolia Sound. Instead I’ll pour a glass of whiskey, my comfy blanket and write my review. Maybe I’ll hug my family a little tighter because everyone needs a hug right?
Ya’ll this book is why I love reading romance…just when I think it can’t tug anymore at my heart…it does.
This series has a special place in my heart and hopefully you will soon!
I received an ARC from InkslingerPR for a fair and honest review. This spicy read is best enjoyed with your favorite iced-beverage, a cozy chair, and maybe a fan.

Jun 28, 2019 | Authors Dish, Blog, Christi Barth, June 2019, MK Meredith, Samantha Chase
If you’re heading to New York City July 24-27, 2019 for RWA2019 or another conference reminders and tips are always helpful. Especially when it comes to packing, and as a first timer commuting to the hotel each day I am hoping I remember to pack all the things in one suitcase ;).
Hopefully you won’t find yourself waking up in the middle of the night panicked that you now need the very thing you forgot to pack. Or, finding out moments before you have a meeting or fun place to go, you ran out of or forgot something essential.
So, to all the newbies, and seasoned travel veterans, I’m running an Authors Dish specifically targeted on what authors and industry professionals always include in their suitcases, what they stash in their conference bag to avoid hunger pains and the things they forget once and hopefully never again. While some of the authors contributing are not attending we love that they want to contribute.
May this inspire you to plan, make your lists, and triple check so you are prepared for just about anything. If you’re heading to RWA2019 I’d love to say hi. Comment below so we can be sure to meet up in NYC.
Stay tuned as we’ll have plenty of tips and tricks in the upcoming weeks so check the blog daily.
Today in the cafe are NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Samantha Chase, USA Today Bestselling Author Christi Barth, and Author MK Meredith.

Rae: What five things do you have to pack when attending a conference?
Samantha Chase: My laptop, my Kindle, way more clothes than I will ever wear, Zzzquil (to help me sleep), and my travel fan.

Christi Barth:
5 things:
- I’m an overpacker extraordinaire (#noregrets) so I bring medicine for everything – you never know what will hit mid-con! Paranoid? Maybe. Super useful to either me or a friend-in-need? You bet!
- I always bring both a kindle and a paperback (in case the kindle breaks) because sometimes you have a 7 minute break and just need to read.
- A water bottle – it is too easy to not hydrate sufficiently. And the tiny cups in panel rooms are worthless. Bring your own bottle and refill in every workshop!
- A Tide Stick – again, either useful for you or a friend.
- A notebook – really, the clacking of keys on laptops is disrupting and rude to everyone else in a workshop. Go old school – stick to paper and pen!

MK Meredith: business cards, marketing materials, lip balm/gloss, phone charger, jacket or sweater to layer.

Rae: What is your snack attack must haves in your day bag?
Samantha: Lindt dark chocolate (70% cacao) and Coca Cola
Christi: Besides the aforementioned water bottle? Nuts/dried fruit. Easy to fill ziploc and have all week.
MK Meredith: PEANUT BUTTER!!!

Rae:What’s the one thing you forget to pack and swear to remember next time?
Samantha: I’m ashamed to say I never forget. I start packing a week in advance, make a list, check it twice (or fourteen). I usually overpack because I prepare for any and all situations! Yeah, I’m a dork like that.
Christi: Nothing – and here’s why – I have an Excel spreadsheet packing list. My friends mock me mercilessly about it, but everything is on it, and I just print a fresh one for every trip.
MK: Cash.
Rae: Thank you so much authors! I’ll be keeping a running list and will post it a week before RWA2019 so that hopefully no one needs to make a quick run to the lobby market or drug store around the corner. I’ll see you soon for new authors and more ideas!
** Author Bios **
Samantha Chase: Samantha Chase is a New York Times and USA Today bestseller of contemporary romance. She released her debut novel in 2011 and currently has more than forty titles under her belt! When she’s not working on a new story, she spends her time reading romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook, wearing a tiara while playing with her sassy pug Maylene…oh, and spending time with her husband of 28 years and their two sons in North Carolina.

Christi Barth: USA TODAY bestselling author Christi Barth earned a Masters degree in vocal performance and embarked upon a career on the stage. A love of romance then drew her to wedding planning. Ultimately she succumbed to her lifelong love of books and now writes award-winning contemporary romance, including the Naked Men and Aisle Bound series.
Christi can always be found either whipping up gourmet meals (for fun, honest!) or with her nose in a book. She lives in Maryland with the best husband in the world.

MK Meredith: MK Meredith writes single title contemporary romance novels which promise an emotional ride on heated sheets. A member of several writing groups, she believes the best route to success is to never stop learning.
She’s had a lifelong love affair with peanut butter — the only two things coming close in the battle for her affections are gorgeous heels, and maybe Gerard Butler…or was it David Gandy? Who is she kidding? Her true loves are her husband and two children who have survived her SEA’s (spontaneous explosions of affection) and live to tell the tale.
MK’s been reading romance long before she should have and can’t think of anything better than to fill her life with the promise of happily-ever-afters. When people ask, “Why romance?” She replies, “There is nothing more exhilarating than to write about one of the most powerful entities on earth. Love can be the fall of kingdoms and move mountains, destroy lives and create new life, inspire the dark and summon the light. Love is a challenge, a hope, and a miracle all wrapped into one. Love is life. I write about life.”
The Meredith’s live in the D.C. area with their two large fur babies…until the next adventure calls.
Jun 23, 2019 | Blog, Blog Tour, June 2019, Samantha Chase

We are so excited to be celebrating the release of A GIRL LIKE YOU, the next book in New York Times bestselling author Samantha Chase’s Magnolia Sound series. If you’re looking for your next beach read, hurry up and grab your copy today!

The Whole Latte
Summer is underway and it’s time to discover your next bookadventure – Magnolia Sound. The Westbrooks and their friends are ready to share their homes and hearts with you. This series is the perfect addition to your summer reading list.
A Girl Like You takes through the trials and tribulations from where we left off in Remind Me. Haven’t read it? One-click here and catch up. While the books in this series can be enjoyed as standalone reads, I highly recommend reading in order to get the full experience ;).
Always ready for the next adventure, Sam Westbrook must comply with the demands set forth by his late great-grandfather and return home. Years ago Sam ran from the town and the people, will they see the man he’s become or forever remember him as the reckless teenager he once was. If he can overcome the obstacles from his past, he might discover that what he was running away from wasn’t the town, but his own fears. It’s time to do the things he was meant to be. Others saw his potential, it’s time for him to put roots down.
Always up for a one-night fling Sam will discover that Shelby is the one woman he can’t walk away from. There is so much heart and passion in Sam that you are drawn into Mangolia Sound. If you’re rooting for the wild brother to settle down, this book satisfies that and more.
Shelby Abbott is the local librarian, and the daughter of the town Pastor. A man that Sam once had a few “special encounters” with and impacted the way many in town treated him. It’s difficult to live in the shadows of your family and the reputation they have established, it’s more challenging in a small town. If Shelby can find a way to fight for what she wants, she might finally move into the spotlight and live life on her terms.
Both want to be accepted for who they are and not their family connections, can they overcome the past and pave their own way? Shelby is tired of her parents dictating her life and the excitement of Sam Westbrook is the one thing she thinks might push her out of her book bubble. It will take courage to stand up and demand her independence, a journey we are excited to take with both her and Sam. It’s sure to be a journey of the heart and soul.
This must read has it all and the characters are everything you expect when picking up a Samantha Chase book. I enjoyed the small-town charm and can’t wait to read the next installment. I received this book from Inkslinger PR for a fair and honest review. This sinfully sweet, hotter than sweet with bedroom romance tingles in all the right places, and adds a dash of spice to satisfy that slightly spicy craving.
