Rivals to lovers mixed with a football small town romance vibes.
Lucy is a thriving pediatric physical therapist who despite not having much of a personal life as of late loves her life. Despite having an ex-fiance her #1 most hated man in her life is Jax Wylder, her brother's childhood friend. Jax is an NFL superstar who has held onto a lot of guilt for a mistake from his past. One car accident changed not only his life but his best friends as well. When he starts to think about life after the NFL he finds himself in a business venture that might mean spending time with Lucy despite how much she may hate him. The line of love and hate is thin but is this something they can overcome?
I really enjoyed this book. It is probably one of my favorites from Samantha chase. She did a beautiful job talking about the family dynamics and the impact that would have on their relationship as well as their past history. I will say I thought a little bit more of his past would play a larger role than it did in the obstacles that they face.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves a small town romance. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this story.
I liked this audiobook, great narration.
I'm not a huge fan of book written at the third person so I had a hard time getting used to it, but the story was lovely. It's my first book from this author and not the last, I want to read more books written by her.
It was an audiobook only narrated by one narrator, so it was weird at the beginning but with the minutes passing I was getting used to it.
Not the perfect story but a lovely one. If you love third person book, brother's best friend and enemies to lovers then this book is for you.
I am not a huge fan of third person but I had fun with this one. The writing had me interested from the start and I absolutely adored the characters.
Undeniable Love is book #3 in the Wylder Love series.
Tropes:
• Brothers best friend
• Sports Romance
This is actually the first book of Samantha Chase that I have read/listened to. I love the idea of hearing a book before reading it because the narrator brings the book to life before you have a chance to create the scene yourself!
I don’t generally go for sports romance but this one was great! I’m glad I took a chance with Jax and Lucy!
Lucy grew up believing Jax ruined her brother’s life so she turned her heart off to him but when she learns that sometimes things aren’t black and white and she didn’t know the whole story, her heart opened up.
5 Star Review Undeniable Love (Wylder Love #3) by Samantha Chase
Ebook/Audio:
Book three in the latest series from Samantha Chase and was a great addition and is and’s story.
This is enemies to lovers Jax Wylder and Lucy Dawson set in South Creek.
I loved their journey. It is a story of forgiveness and hope and one that ticked all the boxes for me.
I was quickly invested in the story that Ms. Chase wove. As they both came to terms with the past has I was cheering for them to get the happily ever after that they both deserved.
Amy McFadden narrates Undeniable Love, and she did a good job with her performance. Her voice is easy to listen to, although I would prefer that a man narrated the male characters, but then that is just my opinion. She brought the angst, romance, passion, and witty banter to the characters and did justice to the story that Ms. Chase wove.
I received a copy of the audio book from the publisher through Net Galley.
I have really enjoyed this author's books so I was very excited to read this one! Jax is a football player celebrating a night out after a win, when, agains his friends judgement and pleading, he brings along a random woman to help celebrate. She ends up getting a little wild and crazy, steals his car, takes tons of drunken videos and tries to extort him for money. In an attempt to change his bad press, he goes public with a side project that he has been wanting to get off the ground for a while. He partners with his best friend's sister (who happens to be pediatric physical therapist) to begin the early stages of opening a camp for children that have physical disabilities. This was not one of my favorite books by this author. I felt like the timeline was not as easy to follow, feelings were developed super fast. With this being the third book in the series, I also felt like there was a back story that was just explained rather than experienced. I will continue to read this author's books, but this one was just ok for me. #UndeniableLove #NetGalley
Pubs tomorrow! Thank you to the publisher for the audiobook to read and review.
Read if you love:
-Sports Romance
-Brother's Best Friend
-slight enemies to lovers vibes
I thought this was super cute. It is sort of enemies to lovers (but only SHE hates HIM, not the other way around) and a great Sports romance (MMC is in the NFL). They have a history but work through it together. There were a few moments I thought we were getting into "miscommunication as a trope" territory but thankfully, the characters talked through things (thank God because these are adults, lol). I thought this was a good romance and the family relationships were one of my favorite aspects of the storyline.
This captivating small-town, enemies-to-lovers romance hits all the right notes. Lucy’s resentment toward Jax has simmered since childhood, but when he returns to town, she uncovers the truth about their past. As they reconcile, their undeniable chemistry takes center stage. Though they encounter a few hurdles, they work together to tackle them. Amy McFadden’s brilliant narration adds to the story by infusing each character with depth and emotion. Even though it's the third book in the Wilder Love series, it works seamlessly as a standalone. If you love small town romances, definitely add this one to your TBR.

Wylder Love Book 3 is my favorite book so far in this series. I listened to the audiobook version of this title. Narration by Amy McFadden. Amy McFadden has quickly become one of my favorite Narrators. She did an excellent job voicing all characters.
She grew up with a looming cloud of resentment from an accident that happened that to her teenage brother.
He lived the stolen life of his best friend. A successful professional football star wanting to right his wrongs. This caused their paths to collide and the enemies to lovers journey began.
As the third installment to this series, you do not need to read the other books to enjoy this one. Samantha Chase is a talented Author. Every book she writes is good!
This was a charming small town sports romance between a physical therapist and a pro football player. While this is the third book in a series, it can be read as a standalone. Good on audio and recommended for fans of authors like Piper Rayne. I was a tad disappointed that this was a fade to black/closed door romance though. Overall still a light-hearted, entertaining listen. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review.
Undeniable Love is a fabulous brothers best friend romance. Lucy has had a grudge against her brothers best friend, Jax , for years. After finding out that what she had believed for all of these years was untrue, Lucy has to apologize for her behavior. Jax is wanting Lucy to help on a project he is starting and after spending some time alone with her, he realizes he is developing feelings for her. I loved Jax and Lucy together from their witty banter, to the way they are with their family. This would be why Samatha Chase is one of my favorite authors. I enjoyed the story line and all of the characters.
Amy McFadden narration just brought more to this already fabulous story. She brought all of the characters to life.
ALC REVIEW: Undeniable Love by Samantha Chase
Release Date: September 17, 2024
Genre: Sports Roamance
Format: Audiobook
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Book # for 2024: #83
SYNOPSIS: Lucy Dawson is a small town girl looking to escape her monotonous life. Jax Wylder is the NFL superstar looking to return to his roots. Twelve years ago, he nearly destroyed her family. Now, they’re working together and the attraction she feels is completely undeniable.
MY THOUGHTS: I think I may officially be in my Sports Romance Era…or at least my Football Era. I enjoyed this book so much! The romance between Jax and Lucy was super sweet! They’re both super likeable characters, so it was easy to root for them.
I also really enjoyed the narration of this audiobook. Amy McFadden did a great job of giving each character a distinct voice. I will definitely be looking for other audiobooks she has narrated!
I will say that I don’t really feel like they were truly enemies. Jax never disliked Lucy and Lucy was extremely misguided in her dislike for Jax. The issue was resolved rather quickly.
Overall, if you love a sports romance with small town vibes with a dash of a PR scandal, you’d love this book and I highly recommend it!
Thank you for Samantha Chase and Valentine PR for the ALC!

I am such a huge Samantha Chase fan, and I love everything I’ve had a chance to read from her, so far! The Wylder Love series is another new favorite and I definitely recommend this one to everybody, and this book/series. These Wylder brothers are all so different but these three books are all just absolutely fantastic! And all three brothers are there for each other.
Undeniable Love is the finale in this trilogy, which is too bad because I was falling for all three brothers and now the series is wrapped … I guess I’ll have to keep re-reading them all to get my Wylder bro fix!
Jax is an NFL star, out living the dream, while his bestie is back home still a bit disabled from a drunk driving accident caused by Jax’s father on their graduation night. Jax and Ty were supposed to go to the NFL together until his father hit them that night, and Ty’s injuries were severe.
Lucy, Ty’s sister, has never forgiven or forgotten that accident, which left her brother broken, injured and unable to follow his dreams, and her family financially devastated from the medical bills…. And now Jax is asking her for a huge work favor and telling her she doesn’t know the whole story. Can she discover the facts and forgive, work together and follow her heart, or hold a grudge that has been in place in her heart all these years…
Another fantastic Chase story and great way to wrap the Wylder Love trilogy. I loved having all of the brothers so involved in this one, how it all played out, the chemistry, family dynamics especially, and didn’t even mind that it was closed door! Highly recommend it and the whole Wylder Love series!!
Audio was narrated by Amy McFadden, like many of Chase’s books are, and you can always count on her for a very solid and excellent performance. I really enjoy her voice and know she’s going to do a great job when I pick up anything with her name on it! Another great job, Amy!
I received an advance reader copy from Valentine PR, and advance listen copy from NetGalley and Dreamscape Media, and this is my honest feedback.
A captivating small-town, enemies-to-lovers romance.
❤️Lucy Dawson, a pediatric physical therapist, is forced to stay in her hometown and work with Jax Wylder, an NFL superstar who once nearly destroyed her family. As they collaborate on a camp for kids with disabilities, old wounds resurface, and unexpected attractions develop.
❤️The story explores themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the fine line between love and hate.
❤️It’s a heartfelt and engaging audiobook that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
🎧Amy McFadden’s narration brings the characters to life with distinct voices and emotional depth, enhancing the listening experience.
if you love enemies to lovers look no further than Jax Wylder and Lucy Dawson’s story in Undeniable Love (Wylder Love #3). I love my visits to South Creek and this is a wonderful addition to the series.
This is a journey about hope, forgiveness and learning to trust and it will appeal to a wide range of audiences. I was captivated from the first to the last line as I fell hard and fast for Jax and Lucy.
The narration by Amy McFadden ticked all my boxes. She was spot on with the witty banter, the drama and the passion as she brought the characters and their story to life.
Another beautifully written story from the very talented Samantha Chase.
I received a copy of the audio book from the publisher through Netgalley.
I am quickly getting on board the Sports Romance train. There’s a certain added adrenaline when you add in the fate of a game and the pressures that come with it. Lucy and Jax are adorable. Two fun loving, strong willed determined individuals who know how to fight for what they want in life. Sometimes that fight is counterproductive to relationships but in the end you know it will work out, hea guaranteed. I am fully onboard for the family dynamics. Both characters have such supportive friends and family that you can’t help but want to join the crew. The spicy times were caliente, the humor delicious and the sweetness meltable. A truly fun story to listen to. The narration was spot on, exactly how I would imagine each character.
Undeniable Love is the third romance book in the Wylder Love series. Lucy Dawson has always wanted to get out of her hometown of South Creek and her upcoming wedding is the way out. At least it was until she catches the groom with the wedding photographer. After calling off the wedding, Lucy is at loose ends until Jax Wylder comes back into her life. Jax is a quarterback in the NFL and Lucy’s brother’s best friend. The problem is that Lucy holds a grudge against Jax from years before and Jax has no clue about it. He comes face to face with Lucy’s wrath when he comes to town and hopes to enlist her help with his new plans for a facility that will help disabled kids play sports. As a pediatric physical therapist this is more than Lucy could have dreamed of, but her feeling towards Jax threaten to get in her way. Will Lucy be able to let go of the last and get over her dislike of Jax or will the past get in the way of a future?
Brother’s best friend, enemies to lovers, small town romance, sports romance. What more could I ask for? These are all some of my favorite tropes and I loved seeing them all bundled up into one romance. This romance pulled me in from the beginning and I really enjoyed listening to it. I loved Jax and thought he was a great leading man. Lucy got on my nerves sometimes at the beginning with her strong dislike of Jax and her grudge from over a decade before. I listened to an audiobook version of this book and it was a very easy and fast read. Everything flowed nicely and I really enjoyed it. I haven’t read any of the other books in this series but now I’m intrigued and want to check those out too. If you are a fan of sports romances, enemies to lovers and brother’s best friends tropes, or any of the above, this would be a good romance for you!
Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the audiobook arc of "Undeniable Love“ by Samantha Chase.
Lucy has known (and despised) Jax, her brothers best friend, for years. After she realizes her decade long grudge is unfounded, Lucy and Jax spend time getting to know each other. They get closer while working on a shared project combining their two interests, sports and pediatric physiotherapy.
The story had all the aspects I look for I a good romance book. I especially enjoyed the fiery personality of the FMC Lucy. The narration was great and I enjoyed listening to it.
This brothers best friend romance is so good! Lucy has know Jax for a long time since he is her brothers best friend but she has been mad at him for years since he is the reason her brother couldn’t play college football due to a car accident. Jax is a pro football player who is trying to bring a clinic back to his hometown for disabled kids. He wants Lucy to work there as the pediatric physiotherapist but she is not wanting to jump just yet. As she spends more time with Jax talking about the project, she starts to develop feelings for him. This is more of a closed door romance with lead up to spicy scenes without too much detail. Overall, it was a good, easy listen!
Undeniable Love is a brothers best friend, closed door romance set in small town with main characters Lucy and Jax. I loved their story and appreciated the closed door romance, not every book needs smut and if your in the mood for a sweet sports romance with found family and overall feel good vibes, this is the book for you.
