Bobby Hannigan is Anna Shaughnessy nee Hannigan's brother. He has quite the history with Quinn Shaughnessy especially when he saw what his sister Anna went through loving Quinn until he realized that she was not just his friend but also the love of his heart. Now Tegan Shaughnessy Quinn's cousin has moved to town and it's Quinn's turn for payback as Bobby and Tegan flirt around the idea of love and a happily ever after. Just when I thought there were no more Shaughnessy's Ms. Chase gives us one more.
Bobby Hannigan is recovering from a gun shot wound that prevents him from going back to his active job as a police officer in the beach town he makes his home. Teagan and her family move to the Caroline coast to be close to her other Shaughnessy cousins and to give her young son a stable environment amongst family. Their first meeting is hardly the kind that spells romance and yet a quiet friendship is born. Quinn Shaughnessy however does all he can to encourage and derail any budding friendship. Is he getting a bit of his own back?
For readers who've enjoyed the series it's like going back to the bosom of the family and catching up on all the happenings while Teagan and Bobby's story plays out. Interestingly both Teagan and Bobby are gun shy and Teagan has her kindergarten aged son to consider who is seeing Bobby as the father figure he never had.
Definitely a convoluted journey which sometimes irritated me as a reader but of course all's well that ends well.

First-Rate!! This story swept me away! A story of the highs and lows of real relationships. Teagan and Bobby’s relationship is about dealing with real life problems and being able overcome them on the way to forever. Romantic, sexy, fun and at times heartbreaking! I loved it!!

Getting TANGLED UP with Bobby Hannigan sounds perfect!

Hopefully you've read the rest of this series and knew who Bobby was reputation wise. Then, you'll love this book even more! Bobby is the loveable boy with the playboy past, wanting to put it behind him, but people only want to see him in one way. Love characters facing this because it's just so real to me. Why people want to put others in a square box and never let them out perception wise, yet want to be treated completely opposite baffles me. So for me, Bobby was genuine and relatable.

Teagan S. has her young son to focus on and being distracted by Bobby just can't fit in her lifestyle. But Bobby is irresistible and inevitable. Her heart can face more heartbeat, and to Teagan, Bobby is a heartbeat waiting to happen.

These two are simply meant to be together and the fight to get there was a great read. I loved Bobby and especially his interactions with the kids in this story. He will be a fabulous dad ; ).

I loved this story. This is the story of Bobby Hannigan and Teagan Shaughnessy.

Bobby is a cop and one night while off duty he gets shot and it may end his career. If he can't go back to the job he loves he doesn't know what he will do. The only bright spot in his life right now is Teagan a single mom who understands his struggles

Teagan and her son move to Carolina to be close to family. When she meets Bobby it feels right but the timing is wrong. They both had plans for what they thought there future would hold but can they work through the problems and be together?

I receieved a free ARC from Netgalley and here is my honest reveiw. I was going to read this book when it came out and was so excited to get to read it early. It is a great story full of emotion and relationships. I hope there will be more in this series. I highly reccomend this book and all the ones that came before it.

Tangled Up in You by Samantha Chase. 4 stars

It is always fun to visit the world of the Shaughnessy Brothers. I didn't read the entire series, I started with Riley - Book #4. This time it's Bobby the brother-in-law of Quinn Shaughnessy ( Book 3) and his cousin Teagan. I enjoyed this book very much. Both characters are facing major changes in their lives. Bobby, who was shot during a robbery and is facing an uncertain future because of his injuries. Teagan who is moving from Colorado to South Carolina , facing a new job, and raising her son. She is a single mother with a support system, but it is still a huge adjustment. You have a case of attraction and some instances of denial. Mix in interference from relatives and you have a formula for confusion. What made this book even more fun is to see the family interaction with each other. As a bonus we have a short scene with the band members of Shaughnessy and their families.

Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for this ARC.

Every time I finish a Samantha Chase book, I wonder how she’ll ever top it. The emotions, the characters, the sense of family, the passion - every story she writes surpasses the one before it. Tangled Up in You is my new favorite! It follows the Band on the Run series & is book 7 of the Shaughnessy Brother series.

Bobby Hannigan and Teagan Shaughnessy are perfect for each other. They’ve both been hurt emotionally & weren’t ready to settle down. There was an instant connection when they first met that made it apparent they belonged together. Teagan’s son, Lucas, and the Shaughnessy children added affection & a lightness to the story. The characters from the earlier stories make an appearance but this could still be read as a stand alone. This was a great story that pulled me in & didn’t let go until it was done. Make sure you have plenty of time to read it because you aren’t going to want to put it down!

I absolutely love Samantha Chase's books and was so happy to receive a copy of the latest Shaughnessy family novel! This story was about Bobby Hannigan (Anna Hannigan's brother, Quinn Shaughnessy's brother-in-law) and Teagan Shaughnessy (a Shaughnessy cousin). I really enjoyed this book and seeing a different side to Bobby. I didn't really like him in Anna and Quinn's story but this definitely redeemed him in my eyes. Bobby and Teagan face different challenges throughout the story and I appreciated that they actually had discussions to work through those problems.

This was a fairly quick read for me and highly enjoyable. I definitely recommend this (and the entire Shaughnessy series) to anyone looking for a fun, heartwarming story for this spring/summer!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this free ARC.

Another fun book from Samantha Chase! While this book could probably be enjoyed on its own - reading the series from the beginning is the way to go!

I never thought I would say this, but I'm so happy to have had this wait for Bobby's story (I was clamoring for it quite a few books ago), but this book invites us back into the characters who were the focus of previous books in the Shaughnessy series (and the Band on the Run series), so it was definitely a treat to get to see some of them! I highly recommend this very enjoyable story!

I received this book free in exchange for an honest review via Netgalley (thanks to Sourcebooks).

Bobby and Teagan are so wonderful together! I love their dynamic, their story, and just how much they allow each other to be free from their pasts. He is just simply the best, even when she was frustrating him (and me)! A great addition to one of my favorite series!

Bobby Hannigan sustains a gunshot wound that may end his career as a police officer and he's not sure what he'll do if that happens. While he is recuperating he meets Teagan Shaughnessy -- single mom to a little boy named Lucas. They hit it off immediately because Teagan understands Bobby's struggles and he makes an instant connection with Lucas. Even though Bobby and Teagan are having a great time getting to know each other they have one obstacle standing between them -- namely Bobby's brother -in-law Quinn. Quinn is well aware of Bobby's past history with women and feels the need to earn his cousin Teagan. But it turns out that the real obstacle will be Bobby's career as a police officer. Teagan has some unresolved issues to come to terms with that will be the deciding factor regarding a future with Bobby.

Imagine my surprise when I saw another The Shaughnessy Brothers story. Knowing that Owen the last brother had his book. We are introduced to Teigen Shaughnessy a cousin of the clan. Bobby hannigan(the heroine of Always my girl brother). Teigen and her family moves to North Caroline. She is a single mother who lost her fiancee in Afghanistan and is starting over. This book was very short it more reminded me of a novella. It was sweet that the author gave a secondary character his book and we the audience get to know how his story ends. Review on goodreads.
