Samantha Chase has started a new series and it sounded awesome so I couldn't wait to dive in.  It's staring hot, rock stars whose lives are all kinds of chaos. 

The first book in the series, One More Kiss is about the band's guitarist, Matt. His arrogance and need for independence caused him to make an almost fatal error to his once thriving career. Not only did his desire to be the lead fail miserably but the bad press surrounding the situation will not leave him alone.

So he returns home in hopes that the mess will blow over.  Matt had no idea that his hiding spot would bring Vivienne - his best friend's sister - back into his life and that he would be so attracted to her.  He also didn't know that he would find himself completely immersed in her world and love being there.

Matt and Vivienne's story is charming and sweet.  Together they discover who they truly are and what they want from their lives. It's an incredible journey start to finish.  Plus their book is filled with one enticing and hot as hell romance.

Overall, I loved my time with this couple and I highly recommend that everyone start this series. One-click your copy of One More Kiss today!

What happens when the one guy you took on a chance on doesn't remember you at all?

Well Vi finds out when her brother's best friend comes to hide out from the public scrutiny for a month and he doesn't even remember the one kiss that change her life, two years ago.

Matty Reed is a rock superstar, part of the infamous Shaughnessy Band. With Riley Shaughnessy off doing a solo tour, Matty decides to try his hand in Broadway and fails miserably. Now the press is wondering if Matty and the rest of the band are just a front for a group of talent-less guys due to his failure. So when his best friend gives him a chance to come and hid out at his fortress he built in their old hometown, he takes it. What he wasn't expecting was to find his little sister Vi there too. There's just something that seems so familiar with her, like he's seen her before the years that have gone by with them as kids.

Vi can't believe that Matty Reed just walked into her brother's house. The last time she saw him was two years ago, backstage as she made out with him before being thrown out by his manager and left wondering what just happened. Sure it was impulsive and something she never would have done if she had thought it all out... but now here is was and he didn't even remember her. How embarrassing. Not only that, now she was going to be stuck playing host to him, while he brother left to go overseas.

Matt is drawn to Vi. He can feel the sparks between the two of them, but can she? There's only one way to find out... and then it hits him!

Thing progress between Vi and Matt during the month her brother is away. As the spotlight comes off of Matt - will he be willing to stick around or was Vi just a passing phase?

I LOVED Matt and Vi hard. This book although it is a spin off of the Shaughnessy Brother's books, can totally be read as a standalone. Vi is hardheaded and stubborn and just the thing Matt need to kick himself in the butt and take down some of the barriers he's been hiding behind. Vi doesn't care that he's famous. She sees him for him. But Matt has demons that he's not too sure he can overcome with coming back home. Will he be able to finally find a home with Vi or will the demons chase him out of town before he ever gets to tell Vi how he really feels?

Love Samantha Chase and can never get enough of her brand of love.

Matt Reed is hiding out after blistering media attacks on both his horrible performance on Broadway and questions about whether or not his talent with the band Shaughnessy is exaggerated. While hiding out at his friend Aaron's home, he's reunited with Aaron's sister Vivienne, who he hadn't seen since she was a kid...or has it been that long? Vivienne is less than thrilled to see Matt; he doesn't seem to remember the scorching kiss they shared 2 years ago at the last Shaughnessy concert. Vivienne things all this cloak and dagger hiding on Matt's part is a little excessive, but she is going out of her way to distance herself from Matt because of their past without explanation.
I think they are both right and wrong at the same time. I think Matt should have pulled on his big boy pants and face his failure while Vivienne should unclench a little and not be so rigid. I think they are both slightly flawed people who are trying to be better, and by the end of the book, I liked them more. But honestly, neither of them impressed me at the start. Part of that is my own bias of rock star characters...many are written as cocky, bad boys whose antics we are suppose to overlook because they are the hero. In this case, I wrongly attached that bias to Matt, who overall is a really good guy. He does help Vivienne lighten up and truly cares about her. He doesn't put out the "rock star" airs and is much smarter and more introspective than the label would imply. Vivienne has her reasons for being self-contained but most are a case of misunderstanding and miscommunication.
Overall, a good 4 star read for me. As a big Samantha Chase fan, I know I'm in for a great story with interesting characters. She definitely did not disappoint with One More Kiss!

My first Samantha Chase book and I can guarantee it won't be my last. 

Music, romance, feels, emotions, beautiful. I loved it. 

I loved how easily I fell into the story, how quickly I connected with the characters, there wasn't a lot of drama, it was more about the romance and how it can just be. It felt fresh and rejuvenated, not stale as so many have felt and attempted before. 

The personal growth of the characters with there baggage totally brought the book to life with the creative writing style simply flowed.

Matt Reed has known major success as lead guitarist for Shaughnessy, the band that Riley Shaughnessy (Shaughnessy Brothers series) headlines. When the band members decide to focus on solo projects, Matt chooses a lead role in a Broadway play. He is a humiliating failure. The play closes three nights after it opens, and Matt is hounded by hostile media representatives who not only question his musical talent but also cast doubt on the legitimate achievements of other members of Shaughnessy. When his childhood friend, Aaron Forrester offers him sanctuary in the luxury home Aaron has built in coastal North Carolina, Matt seizes the opportunity to escape the furor even though doing so takes him back to the hometown to which he never planned to return.

Vivienne Forrester is in the mood for celebrating. The remodeling of her brother’s guest house to turn it into her dream home is finally complete, and she will be moving in soon. She has just been named assistant editor of Modern Lifestyle, an online lifestyle magazine, which means a steady income doing work she enjoys. She and Aaron are close and she is looking forward to sharing her good news with him. She is not expecting to find that Aaron has a house guest, and she is dismayed to learn the identity of that guest and that Matt’s visit will not be a brief one. Two years earlier, Vivienne, with a little help from Riley Shaughnessy (This Is Our Song), surprised Matt in his dressing room after a concert. The band’s agent broke up the reunion but not before Matt and Vivienne shared an unforgettable kiss. At least, Vivienne has not forgotten it. When she realizes that Matt has no memory of the kiss, her reaction to him changes from awkward to angry.

Matt is surprised by Vivienne’s hostility, but he pushes past it, first to help her move in and later, after Aaron’s departure for a business trip to London, as the taste tester for the meals Vivienne prepares for her food blog. The more time they spend together, the more potent the attraction between them becomes. But both Matt and Vivienne have family issues that must be resolved before they are ready to make a commitment, and Vivienne has real concerns about fitting into Matt’s rock-star lifestyle. When Aaron returns, his disapproval of their relationship adds another complication.
  
One More Kiss is the first book in Chase’s Band on the Run series, a spin-off from the Shaughnessy Brothers series. The novel showcases the author’s strength in creating likeable characters with interesting family dynamics. Her ability to craft a story that is sweet and sexy without graphic sex scenes will appeal to readers who prefer their romance light on the spice. The novel can be read as a standalone, but fans of the Shaughnessy Brothers will be pleased to see Riley and Savannah have secondary roles.

I like Chase’s voice and style as well as her characters, and seeing heroes accustomed to success dealing with failure is an interesting take on the rock-star trend. Nevertheless, the conflict in this one seems thin to me. Once the misunderstanding about the kiss is cleared up, only Matt and Vivienne’s reluctance to talk to each other about the things that bother them keeps their romance from progressing smoothly. Their separate family issues promise much, but they are resolved too quickly for my taste. A more minor niggle but one that I found troublesome is that I could not find the name of the North Carolina town that is home to these characters.

Still, the novel is generally satisfying, and readers will root for Matt and Vivienne to get their HEA. Chase gives enough information about Dylan and Julian, the remaining members of Shaughnessy, to leave readers intrigued and primed for their stories. I would also like to see Aaron Forrester earn an HEA, either in his own story or in a secondary romance. However, we may have to wait a bit for those books. First, we have two more Shaughnessy stories to which we can look forward: A Sky Full of Stars (June 6, 2017), the story of Owen, the nerdy astrophysicist brother, and Holiday Spice (October 3, 2017), the story of Darcy, the only girl in Shaughnessy clan. Both books are on my calendar, and I am eager to hear more about the remaining Band on the Run novels.

I really liked and enjoyed this one. Really a great story with great characters. A good series that I have been really enjoying. Can't wait to read more.

I seriously do not know how Samantha Chase’s books have not been courted for television  movies, with each book I read by her I can envision them being played out in movie form and that continues with One More Kiss. Following a disastrous showing on Broadway rock star Matt Reed is licking his wounds and hiding out back in the hometown he swore never to return to in the house of his good friend, what Matt doesn’t expect is the absolute attraction he feels for his friend’s sister, Vivienne. With an air of realism it was easy to get caught up in this story, these characters struggles, and the sweet romance that started out slow and progressed at a logical and realistic pace.
I liked that there was a bit of history between these two characters and it wasn’t all good just as much as I loved the minute Matt realized that what he thought was a hallucination was actually something real. Matt had a big ego and so when things go very wrong for him, he retreats and to be honest he wasn’t facing his life at all. Vivienne cut him no slack she constantly pushed him to confront his life and to move on. I appreciated that Matt saw all of Vivienne and didn’t shy away from the parts of her that some people saw as crazy or obsessive. He really was in awe of everything she did and the way she approached her life. Both Matt and Vivienne had some baggage stemming from their childhoods and I was impressed that they both took steps to deal with that and both did a bit of growing up during this story.
While there were a few appearances by secondary characters this book was largely Matt and Vivienne and it would be easy to think that would make for a somewhat boring story, but it was just the opposite; the reader gets to experience these two really getting to know one another as friends, watch them move towards intimacy, and best of all fall in love. Most of all these characters felt real and they are people I would love to have as friends.
One More Kiss was a completely entertaining, feel good romance I could not put down.

I've had mixed results with Samantha Chase books, but one thing has remained the same. No book has broken the "I like it" barrier. It think it's just a general incompatibility between what I crave and what she writes. Even when there is trauma, drama, and angst, it just falls flat for me. 

Matt Reed and Vivienne Forrester both have trauma, some of it very, very bad. But I just never connected with either of them. I was far more interested in Aaron's story (a tiny bit piece that came up near the very end).

This is not a rock star romance, by the way. Matt has limited engagement with music on the page and even less engagement with being a "rock star". For a book in a series called Band on the Run, this is not what I was expecting. The focus was on Viv's foodie lifestyle blogging. That's not bad; I like foodie books too. It was just... unexpected.

Also, Chase's series appear to be interconnected (á la Lauren Dane's). Matt's good friend and bandmate Riley Shaughnessy's story has already been told in This is Our Song, book 4 of the Shaughnessy Brothers series. I didn't know and hadn't read it and it was clear I was missing some pieces to the puzzle.

Great book.  Probably my favorite Shaughnessy brother!

It would seem I am in the minority with this one, and I usually really like this author, but for some reason, I just didn't like Matt.  I thought he was whiny and I kept waiting for him to grow up.  I finally gave up on this one at about 40% as I just wasn't able to engage with the story.

Thanks for the opportunity and I look forward to the next title!

A SWEET ROMANCE 

One more kiss is sweet, a childhood friends to lovers romance. Vivienne and Matt have known each other since childhood Matt being her brothers best friend. 

A blip in his career has Matt hiding out from the hype of his downfall and escaping the media Vivienne's brother lets him stay at his place. 

Vivienne and matt haven't seen each other properly since they were kids apart from a near one night stand that Matt doesn't remember due to alcohol. 

Told in third person, A slow going plot, I didn't feel the connection to the characters I was merely an outsider looking in to their story. 

A heartwarming romance that leads to a hea.

I received this ARC copy from the publisher for an honest review. I give this book 5 stars. I whole heartedly recommend this book. The hero Matt gets bad reviews when he was on Broadway and goes in to hiding at his friends house in him home town .  Little did he know that his friends sister is about to move in to the guest house on the property and his friends is going to be out of town for a couple of weeks. The heroine Vivienne went to one of his conserts two years  prior where they have a moment.  She is excited to move but she is embarrassed that he doesn't remember.  They are on a journey to discover love.

I totally loved reading One More Kiss by Samantha Chase.  Ms. Chase really knows how to create a sweet story between two people with one needing to figure out who he really is and the other learning to believe to trust others. There’s all of this while these two find love along the way.  The manner in which she created a group of friends where everyone is supportive of each other, no matter how difficult things seem is amazing.  
I think my favorite part of this book was Vivienne realizing that Matt wasn’t all that she thought.  That there was more to him than being a rock star, singer, song writer and her brother’s best friend.

This was a fun and entertaining story with loveable characters that you want to support and cheer on hoping for that happy ending. The characters were well written, authentic and complex.  I highly recommend this book to all readers. I truly enjoyed this book and had trouble putting it down. The story line was riveting and kept my attention to the very end.  Although this book is part of a series it is a standalone story.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

This book was great! Matt made a bad move and retreats to his hometown where Vivienne helps him back to society. Two years ago, they shared a kiss that she thinks he doesn't remember, but he does. Vividly! This was my first Samantha Chase book, but it won't be my last! A must read!

Matt and Vivienne were a joy to follow as their story unfolded. Their chemistry is believable, and I really enjoyed the story! Definitely recommend it!

Samantha Chase brings us a new series, Shaughnessy: Band on
the Run, which is a spin off from the Shaughnessy brother series. This series
follows the band Shaughnessy and the book is about Matt Reed, band mate to Riley
Shaughnessy (Riley’s book is This Is Our Song).
Matty Reed, aka Matt those he is close to, is lost. With the band taking a back and Broadway failure, he is hiding out. He is disappointed with himself and the critics are calling him a fake. So when his friend Aaron offers the chance to get away and to hide out, he takes it. Aaron's house is private, secluded and no one will no he is there, the only hesitation he has is it's in their home town and he isn't sure he wants to deal with those memories.
Vivienne Forrester is a blogger, writer and assistant editor for an online magazine. After renovating the guest house on her brother's, she moves in with the help of Aaron and Matt. She's always had a thing for Matty, but will living this close to him change anything? Will he finally notice her and take a chance?
I loved their story. It was sweet and left you feeling happy.

Rockstar Matt Reed has only known success as part of the band Shaughnessy so when his attempt to do solo work while the band is on break tanks so does his confidence. Vivienne  Forrester, his best friends little sister, has been crushing on Matt for years so when her one attempt at acting on it fails and Matt does not even remember it she is more then a little defensive when she encounters him again years later.

As this couple started to acknowledge real feeling for each other their ability to see past their own feelings evolved nicely. By tackling their past issues with family both of these characters were able to move on in multiple aspects of in their lives as well as being given a real chance at a meaningful and lasting relationship with each other.  Ms. Chase’s fine writing was intuitive and well matched with her story.  Sexy and sweet book one in Samantha Chase’s Band On The Run Series, One More Kiss, worked through a lot and everyone was better for it resulting in a memorable and spicy work.
