Another great book from my favorite author!
I love reading stories that are set in North Carolina and this one even mentions my town! I have read all of the different series leading up to this one, like Noah and Lily’s and Simon and Juliette’s but I truly enjoyed reading about Lucy and Jax. I could relate to the camp they were talking about opening because of my work as a special education teacher and experience with the therapists that work with my students.

Samantha, I just have to ask… why does it have to be New England winning the darn Super Bowl??? Ugh!!! 😉

Lucy & Jax
Lucy has been mad at Jax for years, ever since he destroyed her brother’s chance in the NFL. But could she possibly not have all her facts straight and maybe the enemy really isn’t one and he’s just a sweetheart?

Jax is looking to open up a camp for disabled children, and he needs Lucy’s help. It’s going to take some convincing on his part in order to get her on board with teaming up with him on anything after what he put her family through.

Of course, being a professional athlete, we have some drama with another woman that causes issues with this job.

Overall, I really liked these two together. They were really cute and sweet. Of course I wish the 3rd act was handled differently, but all works out fine. Also, I really enjoyed Jax’s relationship with his brothers, not sure the extra family drama was needed, though.

Series notes:
I’m usually very strict on reading the series in order, but somehow I missed book 2. His brothers do make some appearances, but I’d say this is fine as a standalone.

Narration notes:
I’ve listened to many, many books of Samantha’s and it’s always Amy narrating. I’ve come accustomed to there only being 1. She does fine, her male voices aren’t that bad, but we all know I’d prefer a male narrator.

Lucy wanted out of her small town so she almost married a man she didn't love, just to get away. She's been angry with Jax for years because he was responsible for an accident that almost took her brother's life, ended her brother's dreams for an NFL career, and impoverished her family with medical bills.

Now, years later, she runs into Jax again and learns that she had so much of it wrong. And against her best efforts, she falls into love with him. He loves her, too, but he always has loved football and now he's contemplating retirement. Can they make a future for themselves?

Obstacles get in the way but with some help, they see themselves together.

The couple is very hot for each other, but after kissing and undressing, the details are in the bedroom, behind closed doors.

Samantha Chase tells a great story. I listened to the audio version. The narrator is a pro and she was excellent.

All Lucy wants is to get out of her hometown she's willing to do anything. But she's always felt like she couldn't leave and in her mind a lot of that has to do with Jax. she has blamed him for the accident her brother has had and taking away his dreams of going to the NHL. When Jax decides he wants to open a camp/clinic for kids with injuries that prevent them from doing there sport and asks lucy for help since she's a pediatric physical therapist.

He learns how she feels about his all these years and she learns her anger isn't all that she thinks it should be and the blame isn't just Jaz fault.

This is book 3 in the Wylder Love Series. I somehow missed book 2 but read book 1. I didn't feel lost or that I was missing anything. This was a quick fast read and the banter they have and how they have to navigate the past and present issues is really great.


Thank You NetGalley for this audio-arc in exchange for my honest opinions.

Thank you Net Galley and Dreamscape Media for the advance copy of Undeniable Love audiobook. I really enjoy Samantha Chase series and this third in the Wylder Love series held up to her standards. A sweet heartfelt story of a younger sister growing up hating her brother's best friend who connect again years later. Narrator does a good job with the characters with emotion. This is a storyline I can't wait for #4.

I didn't realize this was a series and read it as a standalone and enjoyed this fun enemies to lovers. Lucy hates Jack, who is a NFL quarterback and her brother's BFF. Years ago, a tragic situation happened with Jax and Lucy's brother that made Lucy hate him.

Now years later, they are working together to help Jax realize his dream of opening a sports camp for disabled children and needs Lucy's expertise in physical therapy.

Their attraction is intense and the banter was so perfection. I really enjoyed the added family characters which added so much fun to the story.

Amy McFadden did a great job with the narration and brought the fun element to the story.

Thank you @dreamscape_media @netgalley for a copy of this audiobook.

From the moment the two main characters appeared on screen, I was captivated by their undeniable chemistry. There was something truly magical about the way they interacted—always dancing around each other, subtly hinting at their feelings without ever fully giving in. Every glance, every word exchanged felt charged with an intensity that made me hold my breath, waiting for the moment they would finally come together.

What made their relationship so special was the secrecy that surrounded it. They were clearly drawn to each other, yet circumstances or perhaps their own fears kept them apart. It was fascinating to watch them navigate their world, hiding their connection from others and, at times, even from themselves. The tension between them was palpable, and it kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering when—or if—they would ever truly acknowledge what they meant to each other.

And then, just when it seemed like they might finally be ready to embrace their feelings, something happened that shattered everything. The event was so sudden and devastating that it felt like the air had been sucked out of the room. For a moment, I couldn't see how they would ever recover from it. But in the end, it was this very tragedy that brought them, and everyone else, together in a way that was both heartbreaking and beautiful.

What starts out as enemies ends up as so much more when Lucy and Jax finally get the chance to right the wrongs that have plagued their friendship. And with a little spark and one kiss, the two embark on a relationship neither one saw coming. Can they overcome the past and hold out for a bright future? Or will the world be against them? With great characters and a storyline that will warm your heart Samantha Chase adds a wonderful addition tot he series. While the e-book was a quick page turner, the audiobook was perfectly narrated. Loved them both.

Samantha Chase is a favorite author of mine. Undeniable love is her latest and greatest work. It was a great listen, just as I expected!

I love Samantha Chase. She is a mastermind at connecting characters through series. This was such a delightful story. My only complaint is that it ended with some unanswered questions and I have to wait for the next one.

"Undeniable Love" by Samantha Chase is a heartfelt and emotional journey that beautifully captures the essence of family, love, and second chances. The characters are well-developed, making it easy to connect with their struggles and joys. The story is both sweet and intense, filled with moments that will tug at your heartstrings. Samantha Chase has once again delivered a romance that feels genuine and relatable, perfect for anyone who loves a story about finding love when you least expect it.

I loved this story. I was smiling throughout the whole thing. There was wonderful chemistry between Lucy and Jax. There was also an added emotion layer that added a lot of depth to the story. Jax is so down to earth and I loved him. I also loved the found family type dynamic this book had. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.

Amy McFadden did an amazing job narrating this book. He narration allowed me to get lost in the story in the best way.

If you love small town romance, hockey romance, enemies to lovers, and brother's best friend then this book is for you.

Thank you Dreamscape Media and Samantha Chase for the ACL in exchange for my honest review.

Samantha Chase's books always have me smiling as I read them. Undeniable Love was no different. I loved both the main characters, Lucy and Jax, and was cheering them on as they tried to find a way to make their relationship work in the situations they found themself in. This small town, sports romance with the brother's best friend trope thrown in was a delightful read. I listened to the audiobook in one sitting - the story was so good and the narration was fantastic.

Great characters and story telling. Enjoyed the MCs one sided dislike and how it transpired to affection and love.

Well I was NOT expecting to love this one (probably because I had zero expectations and an auto-approval from Dreamscape Media LLC on NetGalley - thanks for the ALC of this one!).

I haven't read any of the Wylder Love books, but I didn't feel like I was lost because this is the first I've read.

I'm a huge fan of sports romance, and so I was pleasantly surprised that Jax is a QB for the NFL team in my hubs' hometown, Wichita, KS! This super famous QB makes a sort of sketch decision, and a girl out for revenge tanks his reputation overnight. Thoughts of retirement and ways to get back home to his family/hometown lead Jax back to his roots, and nearly straight into the arms of his best friend's little sister. Except the little sister hates him for ruining her brother's life on graduation night.

The past isn't quite what Lucy's been told, and once she stops hating Jax, those lust-y feelings coming roaring to life. These two spend one weekend together, at first just because they can't help themselves, and then because they can't get each other off their minds.

I love the way Jax wants to support Lucy's dreams, and how they team up on a youth camp and clinic for youth with disabilities. Jax's heart for his community and desire to put his fame and wealth to good use to support his community is attractive, and then given that he wants to support Lucy's future and career along the way multiples that tenfold.

There are a lot of fun side characters (who I am guessing are main characters in other Samantha Chase books). There's complex family interactions, drama, tension, and tender moments all mixed together. I love books that make me feel all the things, and Samantha Chase certainly does that here!

I'm giving this one 4.5 stars - rounded up to 5 - because I binged it in a day!

Undeniable Love by Samantha Chase is book #3 in the Wylder Love series.

Loved the narrator: Amy McFadden, she did a really good job for each of the characters.

Really enjoyed the story, really good change from my normal reading. Really appreciate the found family and just the general family support in the book. Would definitely go back and read the other two books.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc.

This book was a fun read- hometown football hero comes home to start a camp for kids with disabilities, and one would think his best friend’s sister, who happens to be a physical therapist, would jump at the opportunity to be a part of it…but, she wants NO part of it! She holds a pretty strong grudge for an incident that happened on her brother’s graduation night. She quickly gets past that and sparks fly - but the 2 of them live in very different worlds. Can the two of them make it work, even though the odds are against a happy ending?

This is the third book in a series, but despite not having read the other 2, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything, so it most definitely can be read as a standalone. I also really enjoyed the narrator - she is quickly becoming one of my favorites!

Quick Summary: A small town, sports hero romance

My Review: Undeniable Love by Samantha Chase is book #3 in the Wylder Love series.

About the Book: A professional football player who suddenly finds himself in a sticky situation gets back to his roots in a major way.

When Jax Wylder returns to his hometown to do some good and realize a longstanding dream, he is met with support from his family and close friends. Unfortunately, the one person he needs on his team perceives him as the enemy and has no problem telling him as much.

A young career woman is blindsided by the man she is supposed to marry.

When Lucy Dawson made the decision to marry, she thought things would work out for her...even though she still had certain reservations about her intended. Unfortunately, when her cheating ex is caught in the act of betrayal, she has to suddenly make a life change. Little did she know that her unexpected change would lead her straight to her the brother's best friend - the man that she passionately disliked. He was and would always be her enemy...right?

About the Narration: Amy McFadden did an incredible job with this installment. I was lost in her narration, in the best way. I listened to her storytelling in one sitting.

My Favorite Scenes (coded, so as to avoid spoilers):

- The Poofy Dress

- Zip It!

- The Parking Lot

- Crazy Is as Crazy Does

- All In

- After the Game

* Honorable Mention: The child with CP going through the therapy obstacle course

My Final Say: I really liked this story. It started out so strong and kept up its momentum. It was the just right story at the just right time. The supporting characters were all interesting and I wanted to know them the more they showed up in Jax and Lucy's lives. The leads - Jax and Lucy - had good chemistry. I loved that they were able to connect despite the misunderstandings.

Other: I plan to complete this series.

Book 1: Irresistible Love - > 4.25/5
Book 2: Indescribable Love - > TBR
Book 3: Undeniable Love - > 4.5/5

Sincere appreciation is extended to the author, to the publisher (Dreamscape Media), and to NetGalley. Thank you so much for providing access to an ALC of this title in exchange for an honest review. The words I have shared are my own. It was a pleasure to listen to this book.

This is a fun and easy read perfect to finish in a day or weekend. Football, love and secret relationships. This is the third in the Wylder series, I have not read the previous books but this one can definitely be a stand alone or for more background grab the whole series. Lucy has stayed in the home town while her brothers friends seem to leave and become famous. Jax a profootball player that has good intentions even though there was a past incident that he has some guilt over. Lucy had some bad feeling towards Jax but once those are sorted out the underlying attraction makes itself known. Relatable characters to a certain level and friendships that are endearing. This is a fun but has underlying good vibes of giving back as well as showing the importance of friendships. Defnitely pick up this series for a fun read during the upcoming football season. Thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity.
