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.

If you are already reading the Montgomery family books you will want to continue. There is nothing new that sets it out from the others. Simply a relaxing read with a family the readers have come to know.

This might be a new favorite! I like that the characters seem very realistic and are dealing with real issues.

Christian is a character I’ve been frustrated with in the past but I liked him in his book! I highly recommend reading the series from start to finish as the characters and plot is built over the course of multiple books.

Another cute romance from Samantha Chase! This time - workaholic needs to take a break theme.

In previous books in the series, Christian Montgomery made an appearance as a workaholic heading toward disaster in pursuit of winning his father's approval. And his health does become a problem in this book but luckily, his mother and aunt have just hired a nurse for the company and she is there to make sure he's okay.
Christian is somewhat disappointed that Sophie is his employee. He's been admiring her determination to surf for weeks and now she's loathe to have a relationship with him because he his her boss.
Except that he's not really her boss, she's a contractor and reports to someone else. And he's willing to make it work.
Didn't love the ending but most of the story was pretty good. Looking forward to hearing Carter's story, how opening up an everyday restaurant in Montauk is going to shake up his life.

Three stars
This book comes out January 29

Another great read by Samantha Chase. This story dealt with family issues with both characters and my heart ached for both Sophie and Christian. There were some big obstacles tackle in this book and sometimes I wondered how this would end up but the author does such a great job of making the plot flow so that the resolution is natural. I have read many books by this author and this one did not disappoint. Suddenly Mine is a story of love, loss and realizing what's important in life.

I really enjoyed this contemporary romance in the Montgomery Brothers series. Christian is a workaholic who needs to slow down before he has a heart attack and Sophia is the woman he's attracted to. It's kismet when they end up working closely together. Sophia has lived through a traumatic event and it takes time for her to learn to trust Christian. Her caring behavior and honesty helps Christian take a step back and begin to live his life to the fullest. Sweet romance with some spice too.

This is book 8 in a sries, I have only read the preious book where it introduces a new sect of Montgomery kids. This is Christian Montegomery's story. He is the workaholic son/brother who runs the company in San Diego and he is miserable. He hates his life and has no joy in it, until his aunt and mom come to town. They are in town to start a wellness program at the San Diego office and that is how they meet Sophia.

Sophia has just moved to San Diego from a midwest town and she is a breath of fresh air for Chirstian. The two become fast friends and hang out together where they both discover they have daddy issues. This was a sweet and fun story with some great characters until something majorly happens that throws Christian's world into a tail spin. I actually really enjoyed this plot point because itcreated drama and I couldnt wait to find out wait to find out what would happen next.
