Words cannot describe how much I loved this book. The romance between Christian and Sophie was romantic and beautiful. I loved they way Samantha built their relationship from the ground up. I fell in love with them and was rooting for them from the very beginning. My heart broke for Christian and his workaholic ways, bending over backwards-nearly killing himself-to prove his worth and trying to gain approval, recognition, and praise from his father. I didn’t care for his father at all, and then found myself crying and wishing things were different. Even if just for closure. Wow, so many emotions!

Samantha is a truly gifted writer and I am in awe. Beautifully written, complex characters, and so full of emotion. This is a book and a series you do not want to miss!

I really enjoyed this book even if it was predictable. I felt this was well written. I loved Sophie and Christian together and how they calmed each other. Even though they were from different worlds Christian was a big city businessman and Sophia was a small town girl who was a nurse. This book had my attention from the beginning until the end. I loved watching Sophia and Christian relationship grow and it wasn’t insta-love/lust. I really liked how Sophie helped Christian change some and enjoy life more outside work. I chuckled at times and choked up at other times while reading this book. I liked the plot and pace a lot. I loved the characters and the twists and turns of this book and I recommend it.

Suddenly mine is an emotionally charged story. I laughed and cried and even had hearswooning moments. There were moments that took my breath away.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I have been a fan of Samantha Chase for a while now. I love how her characters makes you feel like you are having the same emotions that they are. Suddenly Mine is about Christian Montgomery who is just burnt out of the family business. But he has did something in his past that he needs to atone for. Sophie Bennington was happy until she found out her entire life was a lie and than she leaves and moves to the same town as Christian. I did like this book it was good. I already am looking forward to the next book.

I have read all of the books in this series, but even if I hadn't been familiar with all of the characters and previous matchmaking by the oldest generation I would have had no problem getting into this story. There is a definite pattern to Samantha Chase's books and this one followed much of the same path as the previous ones in the series. This did not bother me because I don't read her books for the twists and turns, I read them for the journey on which she takes her main characters - in that regard, this was a very enjoyable read. Although I am not a big fan of love at first sight kind of stories, I found Christian and Sophie to be engaging characters and the maturity of their relationship was refreshing - they were adults going through real world adult issues. There were times that I didn't feel Sophie was being especially fair to Christian, but appreciated that she was willing to start the difficult conversations rather than just let her frustration build up and turn to resentment (I just wish she had been more willing to have the full conversation rather than only being interested in getting her point across). I also felt the level of emotional intimacy happened a little too quickly - for people who don't trust easily they sure were quick to tell one another their deepest secrets and fears. It was nice to get to know Carter a little - I am very much looking forward to his story.

If you're a fan of Samantha Chase's books, you should definitely add this one to your bookshelf!

This book has mild cursing and some vague fade to black sex. If you don't like harsh language and sex, there's nothing to worry about here.

After absolutely *loving* the Band On The Run series I never thought I'd say this but Suddenly Mine might possibly be my favorite Samantha Chase book ever. I was sucked into the story from the very start and I found myself unable to stop thinking about it when I had to put it down to do real life things. I just couldn't shake the story. Christian was a wonderful but flawed book hero, but his flaws were totally understandable and relatable – he wasn't a callous jerk or an alphahole, he was just an imperfect human (that's a compliment!). Sophie was fantastic but also flawed in all the right ways, and I loved the way that these two imperfect people just fit together so utterly perfectly. Even when they weren't together as a couple, their relationship was beautiful and I never doubted that they would find their way back to their happily ever after.

I won't spoil anything, but this book also tugged on my emotions in a way that I wasn't expecting at all. I found myself bawling as I was reading, and although I want to curse Ms. Chase for that, I have to admit that it made this book the amazing story that it was.

Also, Christian's assistant Erin was awesome and I smiled every time I read about her. Well played, Ms. Chase!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book that has humor, great chemistry, and all of the feels. You're going to love this story.

Chance meetings, surprise connections and lots of family drama take us for a ride in the latest in Samantha Chase's Montgomery Brothers series. The characters were quick to grab our attention and the drama unfolding in both of their lives kept me captivated. Enjoyed it!

Christian Montgomery feels like he spends his entire life working, yet all he hears in appreciation is criticism. He has put his everything into putting his stamp on Montgomery's, but it just doesn't seem to ever be enough. He finds himself spending more and more time gazing out over the ocean ... and appreciating the view of a curvy red-headed surfer!

Sophie Bennington left Kansas to start her life over in California after learning that her entire belief system had been built on a lie. She's got a lot of soul searching to do, and is enjoying her morning's spent on the beach. When she happens into her dream job, she is surprised to find a connection with the man everyone says is married to his job. Will they find a way to mingle their crazy different lives to make a relationship work?

What a great read! I love the story line. I love the writing. I love the characters. i love that the story didn't focus on the physical relationship but real life situations. Things happen and life isn't already pretty and that is what I really liked about this book.. The story line was so different than what I've read before. The supporting characters had enough time to be impactful but not take away from the main characters. Big fan of Samantha Chase and this is another win for her.

Christian and Sophie’s love story was amazing and emotional. I absolutely loved Suddenly Mine by Samantha Chase book nine in her Montgomery Brothers series. Burnt out Christian needed a wakeup call before he killed himself from working too hard, trying to live up to his father’s expectations and atone for mistakes made years ago. Sitting on his deck, overlooking the beach and watching the California surfers, was a start at relaxing. One surfer, a woman who was just learning, caught his eye early on. Sophie left her small Kansas hometown after learning that her entire life was a lie; fleeing to the west coast, with a plan to start a new life and career. She attempts to learn new things, including how to surf. Sophie might not be good at it, but that doesn’t stop her from daily attempts to improve. Christian and Sophie accidentally meet but by spending time together Christian learns to relax, smile, and enjoy life thanks to Sophie. Their attraction is magnetic with off the chart chemistry. When Christian starts to slip, returning to his workaholic habits, he chances losing Sophie. Through courage and family support both Christian and Sophie must find the courage to forget the past and open their hearts to love and a future together.

Ms. Chase provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, strong family connections and endearing characters; providing Sophie and Christian a chance at everlasting love. I highly recommend Suddenly Mine to other readers.

Suddenly Mine by Samantha Chase is another one of those laugh-out-loud romantic stories that grab your full attention. A couple of family relatives get it in their minds to set-up their relative. Dating is something the Montgomery family is good at getting their relatives to do. Sometimes they're wary of the set-up but more times than not they are completely unaware. I loved how this story played out. At first, I was thinking poor Christian here goes another attempt with his personal love life. And yet, at the same time, I was like yes, finally! 

This novel, Suddenly Mine, is entertaining. I could not get enough of the characters. From family to friends to the lead protagonists, Samantha Chase caught my heart. I fell hard and fast for Christian and the redhead, Sophia. They both compliment each other in ways that made me swoon. I love that Sophia was a strong female character. With the Montgomery men, they need strong vibrant women to keep them in-line and happy. Sophia and Christian are at first like bait for the sharks until they both discover their undying attraction. 

If you are looking for heat, passion, humor and an emotionally charged book-then this, is the book to read! I highly recommend this new contemporary romance to all readers.

Samantha Chase has a way of making you feel like you are going home to visit family and friends with each and everyone of her series no more so than the Montgomery Brothers and this book, Suddenly Mine is book 8 and this is Christian Montgomery’s story.
Christian a workaholic focused only on the family business with no time for love or women in his life.
Sophie has moved to San Diego to try and start a new life but first she needs to find herself.
Two people broken in so many ways, both with baggage from their pasts could they be the calm that is needed in each other’s storms.... could it take two broken souls to make them both complete. I loved the chemistry this couple shared and I loved the family loyalty that surrounds this book. Another great read from the very talented Samantha Chase wonder where she will take us next.

I love the Montgomery Brothers series and this book is a fantastic addition! It's a story of two very different people finding a way to let go of their heartbreaking pasts and forging a happy future together. He's a big city workaholic. She's a small town girl trying to start over in a new state and city. Together they bring balance to each other. Something they both desperately need. Their story is fun and full of emotion. The writing and character development is outstanding making this a book not to be missed. I highly recommend it.

Review featured at www.books-n-kisses.com

3.25 Hearts I will be honest and say I never really connected with the characters in this book. I am not really sure why but I just didn’t.

The story was fine and the writing was fine but for some reason I didn’t enjoy the story.Maybe I wasn’t in the mind set or something.

That being said I will not say you shouldn’t read it. I might have just been off.

Sophie Bennington moves out of state for a fresh start, after discovering her whole life was a lie, all she wants is brutal honesty from people. Christian Montgomery is a workaholic thanks to the pressures of his father, so after he suffers a health scare, he's encouraged to start making changes in his life. What he didn't expect was to find a friend in Sophie.
Sophie's so carefree and outgoing, whereas Christian is reserved and set in his ways. I adored the way Sophie cares for people, especially Christian, and gets him to venture out and expand his horizons. When unfortunate events occur, my heart broke for the families. This was a great example of sticking to your guns and not accepting behaviors that you don't want in your own life. Strong, yet stubborn characters make for a wonderful, romantic story.

Samantha Chase at her best!
Suddenly Mine is the story of an overworked executive and a nurse trying to find a new normal who meet at exactly the right time to save his life. But the story is so much more than that. It’s also a story of parental expectations, parental relationships, and self discovery beyond our family.
The Montgomery series is all about family and Suddenly Mine takes that explanation to the next level and really exposes Christina and Sophie to some tough stuff that without each other and their love would be impossible to face. Despite it being part of a family series, Suddenly Mine can absolutely be read as a stand alone and would be a great introduction to Samantha Chase because you get so much emotion and depth but still have some wonderful intimate and funny moments.

Oh so wonderful! The picture of them as a couple was so detailed and it was a wonderful, flowing story. I honestly read it over two nights. A great addition to the series.

4 Star Review of Suddenly Mine (The Montgomery Brothers #8) by Samantha Chase

I love this series from Samantha Chase. Each and every book is filled with love and family. I would not mind being adopted into the Montgomery clan to be honest. Although book 8 this can be read as a stand alone.

This is Christian Montgomery and Sophie Bennington’s story and one that I enjoyed. Although perhaps not as much as previous books in the series. Christian is a workaholic and the family business is all that he has focused on for years. Sophie, reeling from the fact that her whole life is a lie meet by chance.

Fate works in mysterious ways and when they Christian is attracted to her but knows he has no time to date. However Christian is shocked when he discovers that the new nurse for the company is in fact the mysterious Sophie.

As they work together they develop a relationship which has a big impact on Christian. The chemistry between them was at times intense and yet it was heart warming to see their love develop; both of them were committed to forging a future together despite their pasts and the secrets that threatened to destroy them.

This is a well written story of coming to terms with the past, of love and family which I really enjoyed.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book through NetGalley from the publisher.

Christian has tried to live up to his father's expectations his whole life and it almost kills him. But when Sophie shows up to help him, he begins to think that maybe there is more to life.
All her life Sophie thought her parents were killed in a car accident and when she finds out that is not the case, she runs away from all the people that have been lying to her. She only hopes that Christian will be a distraction that will help her recover from her family's truth.

If you are looking for a heartwarming cute romance ... then this is the book for you. Christian and Sophie will make you want to root for them as a couple. I didn't give it 5 stars because even though the story line was good, I thought it was a little predictable.

I received an ARC courtesy of Sourcebooks Casablanca through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

Christian is a business man with many demanding responsibilities. Sophie is a small town girl looking for a new start. The story leads you through a whirl wind of emotions as they work on themselves and their growing relationship.
This was the first book I’ve read by Samantha Chase but after reading it I am looking forward to many more. I received a copy of Suddenly Mine from Netgalley for my honest review.
