Suddenly Mine is the next book in Samantha Chase's Montgomery Brothers series. While this may be one of the later books in the series, if you haven't read the previous books, you can pick this one up and dive right in.

Christian Montgomery runs the San Diego branch of the family business, Montgomery Investments. He's always been driven and has worked nearly non-stop since he was a teenager. He currently lives in his cousin's beach house and the only form of relaxation he seems to enjoy is sitting on the deck drinking his coffee and watching the yogis and the surfers. There is one particular surfer, a red head, that he'd like to get to know better, but he just doesn't have the time with his work.

Sophie Bennington needed a change. All the things she thought she knew about things that happened in her childhood were a lie and the last thing she wanted was to stay in her hometown. She picked a new city, sight unseen and moved there. San Diego was the choice and she also decided to try new things, like surfing, while looking for a job as a nurse.

Sophie and Christian meet once on the beach and while he'd like to ask her out, he just knows he doesn't have the time. Sophie ends up going in for an interview and as irony would have it, the boss falls ill while she's there and she's not only able to help, but it turns out the boss is Christian. As the story progresses and Christian and Sophie get to know one another more, she changes him in ways no one else could. Sure, some of it is from the health scare, but he finally has a reason in his life besides work.

Seeing how these two navigated their relationship was wonderful. They prided themselves on honesty and their communication was good. They wanted to be there for one another regardless what was going on and with both of them having baggage, that's saying something. This was one of those books I didn't want to put down and I applaud Samantha Chase for an awesome book!

3.5 stars

I'm not really sure what's wrong with this book that I can't give it more than 3.5 stars. The characters are fine but maybe that is the problem. They're just OK. They're a little bland that I can predict what they will do and won't do. They never surprised me. Christian is this alcoholic son who's trying to prove himself and it was obvious it'll be a problem not only to his health but to his relationship with Sophie. Sophie with her baggage and wanting to start anew was a cliche concept and it's even more cliche that she fell in love with her boss. Also the family dramas in this book is too much almost shadowing the romance.

Though I must admit the characters had gone through an amazing growth throughout the story and I liked that. Overall this is an OK read but I was hoping for more. And I almost forgot the ending is a bit underwhelming for me.

Christian is a workaholic, on the verge of being burnt out, all to earn his fathers approval. His only mode of relaxation is having coffee on his deck, people watching or rather watching a certain red haired surfing.
Sophia has moved from a small Kansas town and trying to make a go of her life in California.
I enjoyed the way the relationship develops between Christian and Sophia. Though they both are attracted towards each other from the start, they first forged a friendship before moving things along. And that friendship really supported them move on from their issues.
A sweet romance with a enjoyable characters !

Suddenly Mine is a wonderful story with loveable characters in Sophie and sometimes exasperating Christian. Their personal struggles touched my heart as they try to maneuver through some tough issues together and apart.

Suddenly Mine, was a very emotional book. Christian and Sophie worked through so much together. I think this book would make an awesome Hallmark movie.

Wow who doesn't love this Montgomery family!
This story revolves around Christian, running the San Diego branch of Montgomery's, working himself to death to please his never satisfied father Joseph Montgomery. Every morning before work he sits on his deck watching the people on the beach, but for the past month, one particular red headed surfer girl, Sophie, well she's not much of a surfer, catches his eye.
Read along as their story unfolds, I absolutely love this family! Samantha caught me completely off guard with this one!! I enjoyed each and every moment of Sophie & Christian though!! 5+ stars, grab this when it comes out!

Christian and Sophia's book is absolutely amazing! The road for them was intense and super emotional but I loved every single bit of this book. If you havent read the others you should because you totally will get this one so much more but you could read it alone as well.

Christian Montgomery is a workaholic continually trying to please his Father. Sophie Bennington is struggling with a secret that had been kept from her for years. They connect immediately but their romance is slow to develop.

This book is part of a series but if you haven’t read the others you will have no trouble following the story. It is an enjoyable story about a family and a couple trying to work out the issues in their lives to get to a happy ending. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Samantha Chase is a new to me author, and Suddenly Mine book 8 in a series, so I didn’t know what Inwas getting into. The author did a very good job of telling the story without making a reader feel lost for jumping into a series.

Focusing on workaholic Christian and Nurse Sophie, Suddenly Mine is a great story with a lot of emotion thrown in. Both characters come with their own baggage, but the journey they take to end up together was beautiful.

This is my favorite Montgomery book yet! This book has all of the typical feel good scenes, but the real lives of Sophie and Christian made them melt my heart. These two characters both had their own personal issues to work through and they realized they worked them out so much better with each other’s support than apart. I could not put this book down and I don’t think you’ll be able to either! I can’t wait to read Carter’s story next! (I hope!)

I loved Samantha Chase’s latest book. She continues the saga of the Montgomery family by focusing on Christian Montgomery. Fans of the series will love checking in on this family and new readers won’t have any trouble picking up the series. Ms. Chase does a great job of continuing characters while telling a completely new story.
Christian Montgomery runs the California division of the Montgomery Investment firm. He lives in his cousin’s house on the beach and works long hours. His only relaxation occurs when he sits on his deck to watch people on the beach as he has his morning coffee. His attention has most recently been caught by a red-headed surfer. He knows that he doesn’t have enough time to date and is hesitant to approach her.
Sophia Bennington has left her small town in Kansas to strike out on her own in California. She loves living near the beach and hopes to find a job which uses her nursing expertise. Right now she is attempting to learn how to surf while she job searches. When she finds her ideal job, she isn’t sure how to handle her attraction to the boss.
Both Christian and Sophia have a lot of baggage which is slowly revealed throughout the story. Their romance is neither easy nor swift. Not only do they have personal issue with trust, but their personalities clash. They also have to deal with the working together part of their relationship. Ms. Chase gives them a lot to tackle and handle, but does so in a way that compels the reader to keep reading. The story doesn’t get bogged down in the detail.

It has been a while since I have read the others in this series, so it took me a while to get into this one... and then I remembered why I loved this series! Christian had been introduced in previous books (obviously they were about his family!!) and seemed like a bit of a workaholic (turned out to be true) but he is perfectly well aware of this fact...

This is a solid entry in the series, and makes me want to read the next one... which I am hoping is going to be Carter's story. Who are the meddling relatives going to fix him up with??

Christian is a workaholic trying to win his father's approval. Sophie left her hometown and moved to the West Coast to start fresh. Christian ans Sophie meet at the beach ans were taken by each other. Christian has a health scare at work and Sophie happens to be the nurse working in his building. They forge a friendship that grows into something so much more, as long as they are willing to open their hearts up to each other. I thoroughly enjoyed Suddenly Mine as Ido with all of Samantha Chase's books.

This is one of my first Samantha Chase books and I haven't read any of the previous ones in this series.

The characters are fleshed out and feel real, and the panic attacks described in the story are vivid and emotionally draining.
The book was emotional, it was sweet and it dragged on for a bit longer than I would have liked. I also wished that the intensity between Sophie and Christian.

An enjoyable read and I'll be checking out more from Samantha Chase in the future.

I received my copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

A cute read with the Montgomery family we all love. Oh how I love meddling family members. Sophie is a firecracker. I love how she doesn't let Christian run all over her. She is his perfect match. Once you read this one you will see why. Now Christian is a workaholic. But I do love how he is once Sophie really enters the picture. There is just this gentle change in him. Yes I got misty eyed a little with this one. But how can you not. I mean once you do read Suddenly Mine you will see. So what are you waiting for really? Samantha Chase is brilliant when it comes to her writing. I always end up falling head over heels for her characters and Suddenly Mine was no different. A fabulous read.

Fans of Chase's will not be disappointed with her latest chapter with the Montgomery family. Christian and Sophia's story is well written and fans will be rooting for their HEA. Both characters have their own dysfunctional issues with their fathers and the book explores how that affects both leads deeply. Fans of the series will be very satisfied with our hero and his HEA and count the days until we can revisit the Montgomerys once again. Thank you, Samantha Chase!

Christian and Sophia are a very sweet and loving couple. Great read!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author. All opinions are my own.

The story of Sophie and Christian. This is the first book of this series I have read - not sure if the other books preceded this, but I don't think it mattered.
A great read, and the characters were well written and likeable so you wanted them to end up together and happy.

Samantha Chase is definitely one of my favorite authors. Her Montgomery family series need never end! Suddenly Mine is an example of true style. Christian Montgomery has always seemed to be easy going and supportive of his family even when they could see he pushed himself too hard. He has been the super responsible member. Each Montgomery has had their issues and Christian’s is his relationship with his dad. After moving into Ryder’s beach house and taking over this branch of the family business, Christian spends a few minutes each morning drinking his coffee and ‘people watching’ from the beach house deck before heading into work. One of the regular surfers he watches is a beautiful, but surf challenged red head. He admires the way she never gives up.

Through a series of events, Sophia, his surfer beauty, is at his office applying for the new nursing position when he has an ‘episode.’ Her care for him, not only ends up cementing the position at his firm and several others, it leads to the beginning of their relationship. Sophia’s professionalism is consistent through out the book, as well as, her kindness. The respect and trust between Christian and Sophia build quickly.

As in real life, ‘things happen’ to pull these two lovers apart. Each have issues with which they must deal. Ms. Chase writes her characters in a way that is genuine and believable. She brings back in characters from former books in the series that help you see the love of the Montgomery clan, even when difficult issues arise.

Can’t wait for Carter’s HEA!

I received a free, advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

I like how Samantha Chase writes a love scene but leaves the details to your imagination. It makes the characters and story line much more developed and less steamy. However, this book seemed to take forever to get through. I enjoyed the story line and it had its family drama but it just went on a bit longer than I would’ve liked.
