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.

Loved book 9 in the Montgomery family saga "Suddenly Mine" Great story. Loved the characters and the premiss. Samantha Chase brought the story to life from the workaholic Chase to the red-headed nurse Sophie. Well written, well-researched fun read with an awesome love story and a great HEA. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and sisters. A great addition to the Family Saga.

The romance is a timid one (no sex at all) The family drama and personal reflexion is at high level so the result is a book pleasant to read with characters that change and grow during the story.
Interesting but I would have liked a little intensity between Christian and Sophie.

Another great Montgomery Story. This family is one of great strength, power, intelligence and love. Each book takes the next member of the Montgomery family through a journey of self-discovery, an awakening of sorts.

Christian is among the clan that has had the hard work ethics thrown at them since childhood that working is all he knows. When a chance encounter with the dazzling Sophie Bennington brings him literally to a stand still, Christian must decide if Sophie is the one person that he will rely on for a change.

Sophie has her own problems- trials and tribulations. Having fled her hometown for San Diego, Sophie is making a change in herself. She wants to be stronger, wiser and extremely truthful. That isn't always a good thing!

These two spark a sweet friendship that ignites into much more. Real life will throw things their way to hinder them personally and as a couple.

I loved this book and the connection with the other Montgomery family members. They are a group you love and always want more of.

Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for allowing me to read and review this ARC.

Settle in, you'll want supplies to hand, with enough uninterrupted time to finish this book in one sitting. The rollercoaster of emotions written into this book, taking the readers hand through Christian and Sophies story. Amazing, love the angst, the depth of feeling, written in this story, a specialty of Ms Chase. Christian Montgomery is torn, trying to please his father, be a success, putting in the hours, too many hours, until a health scare, a chance encounter and with Sophies influence an option to make changes. Tragedy has different thoughts both current and historically for Sophie. Will they realise what they could have together? I loved this book, the feelings drawn from the reader, any book that makes me laugh out loud, scowl and rude behaviour, and openly cry at the sad bits, oh not forgetting blushing at the sizzle, couldn't put it down, another great addition to the series

This book was good definitely worth reading! It wasn't omg! Great! But definitely a enjoyable read! This is Christian and Sophie book, Christian is a big time workaholic! Sophie is a nurse that subcontracted work at Christians company. Christian works so much due to his father always harping on him! There was a lot of good moments in this book! There was heartbreak, heartache, funny moments, a little drama, some sexy times, just a definitely decent story! I do recommend this book I have it three and a half stars! It's worth the read just not my top favorite! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

From the very beginning, Ms. Chase draws you into the story & when you surface, tired & wrung out, you realize you’ve finished the book & haven’t moved in hours. I love the way Samantha Chase can craft her characters in a way that you swear they are real. Their emotions & complexities come through in their interactions with the others & lead your emotions along with them through the journey. Christian’s panic attacks are so on point & emotionally draining. The writing brings across his feelings of helplessness, rage against his father, fear & pain. Sophie’s past has also dealt her an uncomfortable relationship with her family which is just as emotional but for different reasons. Can they heal themselves & find a way to move forward?

Christian is all for his girl at times, “Sophie Bennington, when are you going to realize that you are not a bother, you’re not interrupting, and that you’re not in the way..." I liked this book, I liked Christian.

Samantha Chase has a special way of creating characters that not only are honest and true but have the conversations and hurdles that make they believable. Christian and Sophie have to go through hell and back to find happiness and their journey is one filled with anxiety, depression, anger, hatred and the feeling of never measuring up. But through it all they find the connection that survives the hardship. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and it was the perfect addition to the Montgomery family. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Christian and Sophie meet on the beach by chance. They meet again the next day when she arrives for a job interview just as he is having a panic attack. She nurses him through the attack and takes him home from the hospital. He is struggling with work burnout, and she is reeling from a secret kept from her for her entire life. It may not be the best time for either of them to enter into a relationship, but they just. Ant help themselves. Both main characters are well developed and readers won’t be able to help rooting for them!

So I thought this book was very good! I wasn’t crazy about her last one but this was a sweet story. It was a little slow at times but it came together nicely. I look forward to reading the next one. I received an ARC via netgalley for an honest review.
