Reviews

[Macy]

Listened to the audiobook. Narration could have been better. 1st book adorable. 2nd book much the same. Still cute, but a little less so. 3rd book redundant, but still engaging. 4th book same exact story as the others only less adorable. Boring, repetitive and these characters are grating on my nerves. Done reading this series for now at least.

[Nicki - The Overflowing Bookcase]

Wait for me – Lucas' family wants to get him out of his depression and back living his life. Emma has loved Lucas for a while, but never acted on her feelings. When the two are stranded together during a blizzard, sparks fly and Lucas comes out of his shell. But once he finds out his father was the mastermind behind Emma being out in the blizzard, will Lucas walk away feeling that he has been manipulated or will true love win in the end. This story was a great read filled with characters from another family saga that is filled with heartwarming emotions and page turning plot. Cannot wait for more in this series.

Trust in Me – Jason Montgomery needed an assistant to travel on a long business trip, preferably someone who was all business and married. Maggie gets the promotion and fits the criteria. However, sparks fly and mutual attraction happens, but Jace will not cross the line. But what happens if her marriage is fake? Will the reason she lied about being married come back from her past and ruin her future? Or will Jace finally put his love life ahead of his job? Another great read with tons of emotion and beautiful character dynamics. Looking forward to reading more in the series.

Stay with me – Gina comes home to say goodbye to her dying father, but what she does not expect is the support of Mac, who she had a crush on when they were younger. But is Mac just helping her out because of a sense of loyalty to her father or does the feelings he has for her honest and true. Can this workaholic put Gina first or is Gina once again left alone to pick up the pieces? This is an emotional story, from laughter to tears, this book had it all. Another great installment in the Montgomery series.

More of Me - Another great Montgomery family book. Ryder and Casey were in love 12 years ago, but Ryder walked away to pursue his mark in the Montgomery business. But when Casey is the wedding planner for Mac and Gina's wedding, the two reunite. The love and attraction are still there but will they be able to make it work living on opposite coastlines. This was a beautiful story about getting a second chance at love. With a heartwarming storyline and typically wonderful Samantha Chase style characters it is another great installment of the series.

Samantha Chase can charm the hardest of hearts with her adorable characters. I love stories about strong families. Add in a matchmaking father and some obviously clueless sons and Ms. Chase creates a recipe for love. I was a goner. Once the stories began, the saddest moment for me was realizing I'd reached the end.
Loved every minute.

Book 1 Wait for Me:

Emma and Lucas both felt the attraction to the other, but due to their positions in the corporation, neither of them acted upon their feelings.
Mr Montgomery had other ideas.
A nice matchmaking tale, that looks like it missed it's mark.


Book 2 Trust in Me

Jason takes Maggie on as as an assistant, on a sales trip. She is supposed to be a burned out, married executive assistant, and although she does a fantastic job in efficiency as arranging their appointments, accommodation and transport, Jason wonders at her marriage status.
Yes there is a lot more to Maggie's story, but you are best to read it in the writer's own words.


Book 3 Stay with Me
Gina and Mac both had that"Love at first sight " moment, but both guard themselves against their attraction, as Gina is here for her chronically ill father, and not for a love affair.
Can they sort their hearts and minds out?
I know the answers, but you need to read this adventure for yourself, it is an intriguing scenario.

Book 3.5 More of Me

Twelve years is a long time to carry a torch for someone. Yet, we seem to have two people doing just that!
Can she get over her feelings of abandonment, to let him back into her life. Perhaps some adopted step aunts can help!

An engaging and intriguing story.

[Bianca E. E. Jimenez]

Very enjoyable stories!! Each story has its own unique love story that has you swarming, laughing, crying and just enjoying what going to happen in the end. Loved them and can't wait to finish the whole collection of books!! Very excited 😁

[Loretta]

Cute collection of sweet romances.

Not at all happy with the narrator.

[Deborah Rusch]

Pleasant romance novel with a decent story and just the right amount of loading without graphic descriptions.

[Allison]

Love not having to wait for the next book lol. 4 different stories in one place.

[Joann]

A pretty good series

[Pam]

Wait For Me is book 1 and is Lucas & Emma's story. They had been fighting an attraction for some time. Lucas has been hiding away & his father sent his assistant, Emma to drag him back home. They ended up being trapped together in a snow storm and ended up acting on the attraction. When they are back home will they be able to stay together?

Book 2 is Jason & Maggie's story. Jason is happy that his assistant Maggie is married. That way they can concentrate on business and not have any funny stuff happen. He just didn't count on the fact that he would be attracted to her and have to fight it so hard. When Jason finds out that Maggie is pretending to be married to stop anyone from hitting on her, all bets are off. Will they give in to their attraction? Will anything come of it?

Stay with Me - You could call this a second chance romance. Mac is a workaholic & totally self centered. Gina grew up next door until her parents divorced & she moved with her mother. She's come back to town because her father is dying and she wants to come to grips with her anger for the way he let her go after the divorce & didn't fight for her. Gina used to follow Mac around when she was little because she had such a crush on him. In this book, I felt like Gina's emotional growth & journey regarding her dad, the divorce and Mac were more of the focus than Mac himself. He did have to go on a personal journey to see the way he was treating not only Gina but others and come to terms with it. Neither one of them was ready for a relationship.

More of Me - Great second chance romance story! Casey & Ryder were a couple in high school until he left her behind for college, totally breaking her heart. Now, his cousin Mac and her best friend Gina are getting married. Casey is the wedding planner & Ryder is taking time off work and is able to help out since Gina & Mac are swamped with work and unable to attend to all of the details. Circumstance (or Mac & Gina) are forcing them together. Will they find romance this time?

These stories are cute romance HEA's. The characters all are trying to fight the attraction and not get in too deep. None of them are ready for love. The plots are realistic and easy to follow but keep you interested in them until the end. In all cases, the characters have to learn to go outside themselves and trust the others. Good books!

I almost didn't read anymore after the first story because I didn't like that one at all. The hero Lucas spent all his time yelling, growling, in a near rage or raging. Um, no thank you. He also tended to be a be baby wallowing in self pity because of an injury preventing him from playing football when he was blessed with so much else in his life.

I actually accidentally kept reading b/c when I saw it on my kindle later I forgot what it was about. The second was queued to start so I started it before I realized why I had stopped reading this book series. The second was better because neither of the MC's spent their time overly wallowing, being stupid or constantly fighting/having sex/fighting like in the first.

The third and little extra end story were fine. It was all fairly standard romance tropes types of books. Not my favorite genre but fine to spend some time while sick. The sex scenes were fade to black thank goodness.

[Laurin]

These are cute romances, and definitely sweet stories.. But suspend your critical thinking. I love my romance as much or more than the next person, but there were some things that bugged me reading these 4 books in a row. The female protagonists are ALL 5'4. Seriously. Why do women have to be petite and thin to be a worthy romantic lead? Sigh. At least make one of them a bit taller.
They books are also full of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. So many that I couldn't keep ignoring them.
There's also a them of possessiveness and jealousy running through the books that I found a bit regressive for books based in the 21st century. The fantasy of a strong and powerful man, sure. But.. Numerous men in the books had thoughts along the line of "i wouldn't let my wife spend time with another man without intimidating him first". It just got a little tired by the end.
Otherwise, enjoyable escapism and some definite sweet moments. Just not the best I've read.

Wonderful romantic stories

I loved these books. The first and second were great. With Mac and Gina I had to cry. I was picturing throw William was feeling and at the end I cried when he was telling Arthur everything. Then with Ryder and Casey I laughed so hard I had to stop and explain to my husband about these books because he just looked at me strangely while I laughed. I absolutely loved the wedding and the ex-wife. I have never laughed so much about a scene. Thank you for the wonderful books.

Meddling Daddy

Three brothers and a cousin add up to a rip roaring good time in this series. Daddy has decided it's time for his sons to marry, and he knows he can pick better wives for them than they can find by themselves. This book was full of drama, comedy, romance, and pretty hot sex that the writer lets you envision with your imagination- which I find very sexy. Locations spanning all over the USA, and mishaps galore make this a series every romance lover should read, or put at the top of their TBR list.

All of Me

I love Samantha Chase's writing, her stories have a lot of romance in them without the erotica a lot of the books have. I actually like some erotica but sometimes it's nice to read a romance book that doesn't revolve around sex. You get that with this and other of her books. I really like the Montgomery brothers they are a wonderful family, I am hoping there will more of the Montgomery family in future books.

[Amanda]

I've absolutely loved these Montgomery boys, true romance stories without the smut, you are left knowing what they've experienced without the in-depth details. Beautiful writing, a series I highly recommend

[Andrea Gallimore]

Love the Montgomery brothers and their stories. Thanks for the great romance and chemistry between the characters. Hope to get more stories about the Montgomery family. The cousins all need stories. Thanks Samantha for an awesome series.

[Gina]

I actually read all of the books individually but had to get the bundle to get the story of Ryder and Casey!! I think the Mongomery cousins are going to be just as great as the brothers!! Great romantic tale of second chance love !!!

[Julie]

1-"Wait for Me" Lucas/Emma
