Samantha Chase seems to always captivate me with her books, however this one fell a little flat for me. It ended way to quickly and I felt like it needed more to it for me to fall in love with the characters.

Exclusive

What a wonderful story. I absolutely loved Taylor and Mike together. It was so nice that they had an old friendship to base their relationship off of.

Touch of Heaven

Regan is less that happy having Sawyer in her mother's home and isnt shy about it. But when Sawyer and Regan get a few minutes together, sparks fly. I loved Regan and Sawyer together, even though they didn't see eye to eye.

I enjoyed both of these stories from Samantha Chase. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Exclusive - What starts out as an interview that is going to skyrocket her career, ends up in a story of a lifetime for Taylor.  While spending two weeks away from NY, Taylor needs to get information about a reclusive writer from his assistant Mike, who Taylor had a friendship with years ago.  But when the sparks fly between them will Taylor freak because she is having sex with the hired help?  Or will Mike's own secrets end the relationship before it can begin? 
A Touch Of Heaven - Regan is not happy when her widowed mother wins a home reality TV makeover on her childhood home.  Not happy to let go of her father's memories that are all over the house, Regan gives off a sense of unhappiness with the host, Sawyer.  But he sees something else in her. Once the chemistry between them cannot be denied the two embark on a secret relationship.  Will reality TV be too much for Regan to deal with? Or will the flames die out once the renovations are complete?

Once again, Samantha Chase creates characters and storylines that you cannot help but enjoy.  These stories locked me in from he opening pages and I loved it all.  With beautifully written characters and honest and true emotions this book should not be missed.

Exclusive by Samantha Chase
Taylor is chosen to write an exclusive article about reclusive writer Jonathan Wade. She meets up with an old friend while on the assignment. She has to choose what to reveal as she learns about the mystery writer and her friend.
A Touch of Heaven by Samantha Chase
Reagan owns a day spa with her mother and also a family home. They meet a reality show home makeover team of father and son. Soon fake drama and then real drama ensues around the filming of the home improvement show. I always enjoy Samantha Chase novels and am pulling for the characters to fall in love.

Exclusive/A Touch of Heaven are two wonderful shorter romances books by Samantha Chase. I thoroughly enjoyed reading both of these stories.

This book with 2 different stories was very enjoyable!

Exclusive...
Reporter Taylor Scott is contacted to interview a famous author and sent to a non-disclosed location. Once there, she realizes an old friend, Mike Greene, is to show her around while the author is out of town. This was a fun read, kind of predictable, but recommended all the same.

A Touch of Heaven

Regan and her mom, Caroline, are remodeling Regan's childhood home to sell, when Caroline is approached by Max and his son, Sawyer, who do a home remodeling Reality TV show. Regan is opposed to the remodel, until she feels sparks with Sawyer. A Touch of Heaven was a great story with a couple HEA's!

I have always been a Samantha Chase fan! She is an amazing author!

Exclusive-That would be more than enough socializing for me.

Why had he "nearly died"?

Chill out, Debbie Downer.

Maybe she can interview townspeople for a week?

Well that's creepy...

She must really need a new car.

Eddie was a turd.

I would have thought Mike was the mysterious author.

Of course he cooks.

So Eddie cheated on her, but didn't want someone nice, who happened to be an ex-con, to have her?

She thinks about sex a lot.

I guess Mr. Wade isn't a hermit, just private.

Sheesh, she could be a little more grateful.

Duh.

The time for honesty would have been before you had sex.

He lied, but he's offended when she gets angry?

Wasn't she supposed to check in with her boss? She's too busy having sex!

The man has a right to privacy. Arranging for an interview was stupid, though.

Who wants to work for Victoria, anyway.

A Touch of Heaven-Geez, relax! It's just a shirt.

I can't imagine working with my parents.

He's going to ruin her childhood home so he can get a date with her?

EXCLUSIVE:

Mike is just so sensible at times, “I guess, then, we just need to try our best to be a little more aware of where we are when we get… the urge… to do that again. Okay?” She nodded. “Good. Let’s agree then that what just happened isn’t a bad thing and we’ll continue it later.” Taylor blushed..." Often times Mike finds his girl more important than other things, "it can wait,” he growled as he kicked off his jeans and dove under the sheets with her." I liked this book, I fell in love with Mike.







A TOUCH OF HEAVEN:

Sawyer is sometimes an impatient man, “it’s about damn time you got here,” he muttered before covering her mouth with his." Sometimes a girl just wants to have things done easy, “what can I say… you exhausted me and now I need food but don’t have the energy to cook.” I liked this book, I loved Sawyer.

There is not another author quite like Samantha Chase. She makes her characters real, with real conversation, real insecurities, real money issues, whether wealthy or struggling, real needs and feelings.

Exclusive is a one of her romances that deals with issues people could have, from the insecurity of Mike needing his privacy to Taylor’s desire to get that ‘exclusive’ and elusive interview with Jonathan Wade. Even the second chance aspect between Mike and Taylor is believable. The way their relationship renewal begins is from long ago hidden/unacknowledged feelings. They seemed to leap into their relationship, but it was really a long time in the making. Both Taylor and Mike had to learn to trust the other. They both said hurtful things, lacking the communication a couple needs, also real to life. And, it was difficult along the way, but ended with a perfect HEA – couldn’t have been better! (Yes, you see fairly quickly what is going on, but who cares – it makes for a great evening read).

A Touch of Heaven is, also, about real people. This difference is it contains two love stories. The main one centers on Regan and Sawyer, with the secondary romance between Regan’s mom, Caroline and Sawyer’s dad, Max. Regan and Caroline own a spa together. Sawyer and Max have a reality home improvement show. Carolyn ‘wins’ a the next house renovation. Regan is struggling with just selling the family home, much less changing its appearance. The director of the show finds out that Regan does not want her family home renovated/changed in any way. He plans to capitalize on that for the ratings. Kind-hearted Sawyer refuses to let that happen even when blackmailed by the director. Regan begins to see the inevitability of the renovation taking place even while she is wanting to dislike Sawyer for it, she can’t. Bring the ‘villain’ director back in to cause problems and our sweet couples have a little difficulty with the HEAs.

Both of these novellas are a great read and light-hearted. Both are a bit sensual, definitely romantic.

Two sweet and sexy novellas. One with a second-chance at being more than friends, and one with instant attraction turning into more. Absolutely loved both!

I absolutely loved both these stories and they were my first Samantha Chase books.

Exclusive - Great storyline and even though I figured out early what was going to happen it was still a great read.

A touch of heaven - Another wonderful story with good characters that kept me turning the pages
