3.25 Hearts I will be honest and say I never really connected with the characters in this book. I am not really sure why but I just didn’t.

The story was fine and the writing was fine but for some reason I didn’t enjoy the story.Maybe I wasn’t in the mind set or something.

That being said I will not say you shouldn’t read it. I might have just been off.

Disclaimer:
I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Sophie Bennington moves out of state for a fresh start, after discovering her whole life was a lie, all she wants is brutal honesty from people. Christian Montgomery is a workaholic thanks to the pressures of his father, so after he suffers a health scare, he's encouraged to start making changes in his life. What he didn't expect was to find a friend in Sophie.
Sophie's so carefree and outgoing, whereas Christian is reserved and set in his ways. I adored the way Sophie cares for people, especially Christian, and gets him to venture out and expand his horizons. When unfortunate events occur, my heart broke for the families. This was a great example of sticking to your guns and not accepting behaviors that you don't want in your own life. Strong, yet stubborn characters make for a wonderful, romantic story.

Samantha Chase at her best!
Suddenly Mine is the story of an overworked executive and a nurse trying to find a new normal who meet at exactly the right time to save his life. But the story is so much more than that. It’s also a story of parental expectations, parental relationships, and self discovery beyond our family.
The Montgomery series is all about family and Suddenly Mine takes that explanation to the next level and really exposes Christina and Sophie to some tough stuff that without each other and their love would be impossible to face. Despite it being part of a family series, Suddenly Mine can absolutely be read as a stand alone and would be a great introduction to Samantha Chase because you get so much emotion and depth but still have some wonderful intimate and funny moments.

Oh so wonderful! The picture of them as a couple was so detailed and it was a wonderful, flowing story. I honestly read it over two nights. A great addition to the series.

4 Star Review of Suddenly Mine (The Montgomery Brothers #8) by Samantha Chase

I love this series from Samantha Chase. Each and every book is filled with love and family. I would not mind being adopted into the Montgomery clan to be honest. Although book 8 this can be read as a stand alone.

This is Christian Montgomery and Sophie Bennington’s story and one that I enjoyed. Although perhaps not as much as previous books in the series. Christian is a workaholic and the family business is all that he has focused on for years. Sophie, reeling from the fact that her whole life is a lie meet by chance.

Fate works in mysterious ways and when they Christian is attracted to her but knows he has no time to date. However Christian is shocked when he discovers that the new nurse for the company is in fact the mysterious Sophie.

As they work together they develop a relationship which has a big impact on Christian. The chemistry between them was at times intense and yet it was heart warming to see their love develop; both of them were committed to forging a future together despite their pasts and the secrets that threatened to destroy them.

This is a well written story of coming to terms with the past, of love and family which I really enjoyed.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book through NetGalley from the publisher.

Christian has tried to live up to his father's expectations his whole life and it almost kills him. But when Sophie shows up to help him, he begins to think that maybe there is more to life.
All her life Sophie thought her parents were killed in a car accident and when she finds out that is not the case, she runs away from all the people that have been lying to her. She only hopes that Christian will be a distraction that will help her recover from her family's truth.

If you are looking for a heartwarming cute romance ... then this is the book for you. Christian and Sophie will make you want to root for them as a couple. I didn't give it 5 stars because even though the story line was good, I thought it was a little predictable.

I received an ARC courtesy of Sourcebooks Casablanca through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

Christian is a business man with many demanding responsibilities. Sophie is a small town girl looking for a new start. The story leads you through a whirl wind of emotions as they work on themselves and their growing relationship.
This was the first book I’ve read by Samantha Chase but after reading it I am looking forward to many more. I received a copy of Suddenly Mine from Netgalley for my honest review.

Suddenly Mine
Montgomery Brothers #8
Samantha Chase
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Outstanding!,!! Pretty sure I could leave this review right here. I’ve enjoyed the Montgomery clan, their fun, family, love, it’s all there but I think Christian Montgomery May have stolen my favourite family member. Samantha has created a beautifully written story, that had everything from fun and laughs to heartbreak an pd those little flutters in your belly…

Christian Montgomery is a workaholic, so much like his father, his life revolves around work, work and work. Other than a stunning redhead he enjoys watching surf in the mornings that fill his morning coffee time, it is inky his family who he makes time with.

Sophie Bennington has run from her childhood home after devastating news ruined everything she thought was the truth. Now she’s living in California, liking for a job, a new life. Picking up a job as a corporate health nurse for Montgomery’s is a dream. Discovering Christian is the boss is an added bonus, his body of lusciousness is gods gift to women.

When to two meet at the beach, the chemistry is scorching hot.and it continues to grow especially when Christian Falls desperately ill at at the office and it is Sophie who steps in to help, cementing their connection a little more. But while both carry family secrets and issues it isn’t long before their sweet romance turns to crap.

In a story that had so many twists and turns, it will keep you up all night wanting to finish, while not wanting it to end. Christian might show off as a douchebag but his underlying issues creates another side to this man, you’re bond to fall in love with too. Sophie is a breath of fresh air, while being ferocious.

Part of the Montgomery Brothers series, but can be read as a standalone. Christian is a workaholic, who is tired of pleasing a never happy father. Sophia is a recent California transplant, intent on trying new things. She’s also a nurse, which comes n handy when Christian has an anxiety attack. They become close, and then father issues (on both sides) affect their relationship. Characters are so appealing and normal, you’re really rooting for them to figure it out. It’s definitely a feel good romance, and the beach setting is wonderful. Samantha Chase has become one of my auto buy authors.

Suddenly Mine is the eighth book in the Montgomery Brothers series by Samantha Chase. I have read other books by the author, but none from this particular series. The main reward for return readers is the understanding of Montgomery family dynamics and some of the characters. I was able to jump right in and enjoy the read.

Christian Montgomery is burnt out—the family business might be his entire world, but his father's judgment means Christian never stops working. His only respite is gazing at the beach and the carefree surfers riding the waves, especially the curvy redhead who's caught his attention.Sophia Bennington has just fled from her small Kansas town to California, where she's trying her best to embrace her new beginning. Soon Christian and Sophia find one another, and it feels like sanctuary. But when their difficult pasts catch up to them, will they run away from each other?

Suddenly Mine is a sweet romance that deals with some very real topics, and glosses over others. I like that Sophie and Christian each have some family issues and part problems that make their coming together more challenging. I thought Christian's work habits and relationship with his father were handled very well, and I liked the way the rest of the family supported each other was great. Sophie is sweet and sunny, but still more than able to put her foot down and stand up for herself, and does what is best for herself and others. I liked the set up. and the characters. I thought the conflicts they had were very realistic, and I thought the tension and resolution were well done. I guess the thing that bothered me is not all that important, but I did not like the ignoring all possible money issues. Sophie is struggling financial, but just kind of goes along with some pricey adventures with no real comment. She is aware of the financial differences between her and Christian, which she worries about once or twice, but only in the context of wondering if he will look down on her because of something rather than in a how will I pay for this way. That bothered me on several occasions.

Suddenly Mine is sweet but heart wrenching in some ways. I believe fans of the author and series will greatly enjoy it, but it did not wow me.

Christian and Sophie were amazing! Even with the struggles, they found a way to try new things and become a couple. You could see them changing and growing closer every day. A wonderful reminder to stop and be grateful everyday.

Another amazing read by Samantha. I love the Montgomery family so much but we don’t know much about Christian. I was looking forward to getting to know him and it was worth the wait. Besides being a workaholic he has a heart of gold. I love that he has secretly been watching Sophie while she surfed. Sophie is such a giver. This book will bring you love but also heartache. Be ready to ride the roller coaster.

I loved this book. No messing around and game playing between characters. Christian and Sophie were perfect. I couldn't put down the book at all. Samantha Chase has such talent. Please give me more.

I'm going to have to come right out and say that this is probably one of my most favorite Samantha Chase books. Christian is the guy I want on my side, LOL. He and Sophie just fit from the start and their relationship had a natural, believable progression. Samantha Chase NEVER disappoints!!!!!

Like most Samantha Chase books I have read this was a quick and easy read even though it had some pretty emotional moments.. I have read a few of the Montgomery Brothers books before so I was already familiar with Christian and his matchmaking family. I always feel like Samantha Chase does a great job of created characters who compliment each other and Sophie and Chase certainly do that. Samantha Chase has become one of my "one click" authors so I will be anxiously awaiting her next book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I realized going back to the cover of this book just how perfect it was! It is totally the image I got in my head reading it. I love this series and am always excited when I see another book from this author.
You can’t help but feel for the both of them. Christian because he is killing himself trying to the perfect job in the firm. Sophia because of the secrets the town and family kept from her. And these two find each other at just the perfect time. We watch them fall in love and start to change for the better. But will it be enough?
Ms. Chase as usual has impeccable writing and ability to pull the reader into stories. Will always be one of my favorites!

Wow! A fantastic emotionally and exciting fast pace second chance at love for both characters romance. This book will take its readers on an emotional rollercoaster ride. You won’t want to miss it.

Oh how I love the workaholic Christian and the free spirited Sophie together.

Christian Montgomery is miserable. Sure he kinda likes his job but why was he helmed with being the one Montgomery to take over the family business? How did his brother and sister get out of the constant scrutiny that he seems to always be under from their dad.

Although he's been in San Diego for a while. It still isn't his home. He works too much to date and having his dad breathing down his neck constantly doesn't help.

Sophie is ready to take control of her life. She moved from Kansas to San Diego to try and find herself and to get away from the whispers through her small town. It's time for her to learn new things, like surfing and to put herself out there.

Christian has seen this red head surfing (miserably) for the past couple of weeks and the fantasies of meeting the beautiful woman seem so out of reach. But when he sees her take a stumble and doesn't come up right away he runs to help save her. The only thing is she didn't really need saving.

Fate seems to be on their side as the two meet again the next day... but Sophie was on an interview and Christian was having a panic attack. The new nurse for the company was none other that Christian's fantasy - Sophie.

I loved how the two of them were broken in different ways but very much a like. They seems to be the calm to each others storms and I loved the chemistry between them. So much happens in this book and if I hadn't been sick when reading I would have read it straight through because it was definitely a page turner.

The Montgomery Brothers in one of those family sagas that I devour as soon as I can get my hands on it. I love this series and adore Samantha Chase. Definitely a great read.

Christian Montgomery has been working for the family business since he was fifteen-years old. After a personal debacle while in the London office, he now heads up their San Diego branch. He eats, breathes and sleeps work, with his very limited relaxation time consisting of sitting on his deck of his beachside home watching the cute, red-head try to surf, enjoying the fact that what skill she lacks she more than makes up for with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. When he has a health scare at work that lands him in the ER, Christian is surprised to learn that that same red-head, Sophie, is his company's new corporate nurse. Although they're attracted to each other, Sophie and Christian agree that keeping things “just friends" is best for their work relationship. Well, we all know how those famous last words always work out.

Chase does it again with this newest book in the Montgomery series, and I adored Christian and Sophie's story! On the surface it looks like the typical billionaire office romance, but this book is oh, so much more. Both Christian and Sophie have issues with secrets being kept from them, as well as unresolved issues with their fathers. Look beneath the meet-cute romance and you’ll see two characters who challenge each other but support each other as they work to sort through personal challenges and old wounds in order to become their best version of self. Christian works to discover who he is outside of work, and Sophie is one of the most upbeat, admirable heroines I’ve ever read, facing every challenge head-on.

Although Chase leaves the details to the reader's imagination, the chemistry between Sophie and Christian crackles and sparks. Their story is by turns humorous and heartfelt, and poignant and insightful, and it had me fully engaged every step of the way. I certainly don’t mind a little sexy times with my romance, but this book is just right exactly the way it is. It leaves the focus on two people learning, growing and choosing to change, leaving the lessons they learn to linger with the reader. Christian and Sophie's journey is full of passion, heart and emotion, and sure to please the romantic in all of us.

*I reviewed an advance copy of this book freely and voluntarily, having made no commitment to provide a review and receiving no compensation of any kind from any source for this review.

Swept Away!! This story swept me up and touched all the emotions I love in a great romance. It is heartbreaking, hopeful, romantic. A beautiful story of two people going through some of life’s most devastating circumstances and trying to hold on to each other for survival. Couldn’t put it down!
