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.

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!

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.

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.

This is absolutely captivating. Matt is funny, sweet and charming. Vivienne is spunky, amusing and a bit hyper. Their story starts off sadly but romantically and progresses to something healing and powerful. I love the storyline and the dynamics between the characters. It's a well written, brilliant story tha needs to be added to your TBR list.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest opinion of it.

This is my first time reading Ms. Chase, and I heard great things about her, so I am disappointed that One More Kiss turned out to be a dud. But looking on the bright side, I can try a different Samantha Chase book.

Yet another great book from Samantha Chase. This book brings us Matt and Vivienne's story. It didn't disappoint. Lots of ups and downs, laughter and smoking hot scenes. All the ingredients for a fabulous love story.
Matt is licking his wounds. Seeking solitude and somewhere to hide after a failed broadway show, Matt is offered a lifeline to hang out at his friend Aaron's house while he is abroad. Enter Vivienne. She has a serious crush on Matt. Vivienne longs to get a repeat performance of the toe curling kiss they experienced some time ago. No other guy has ever lived up to that. Samantha Chase writes with such passion and sincerity it's hard not to think of the characters as friends. Read this book you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to the next one. The only criticism as always is I hate when the book finishes.

Band on the Run takes us that step further to see what happens in the lives of the Shaughnessy band members once the group has dismantled themselves and moved on to new musical endeavors.. some more successful than others.. I would call this series a spin-off of The Shaughnessy Brothers series, but I don’t know if it’s officially billed this way.

One More Kiss gives us Matt and Vivienne’s romance, one that grows out of a best friend’s little sister’s crush, and one world weary man’s life changing memory of her kiss. Matt made his choice for what to do as an individual performer, no longer just one of the band. And his efforts flopped spectacularly and quickly closed after only a three day run. Torn to pieces by the critics, practically booed outta town by the fans, Matt has gone into hiding in the last place he expects anyone to be able to find him. He’s going home to North Carolina, a small town and hopefully the blissful quiet of his friend’s home where he can drink himself into oblivion and sulk until he’s as down in spirits as a man can get.

He certainly didn’t expect Vivienne to show up with her bubbly, happy personality, her refusal to put up with his crap – or the memory of one kiss that could change everything. But that’s a risk, and he’s not too fond of risks at the moment.

I enjoyed One More Kiss. This story gives us a look into the artistic mind of a musician who is questioning his talents, and the hope that there is life after a huge failure in his professional life. I liked Vivienne, she’s no nonsense, kick butt when she has to and completely loyal to the man she loves, even if he is a royal pain in the behind at the moment. They fit together so well, even those rough around the edges moments made perfect sense given how much she needs Matt to come back from the edge and live again… with her.

If you are looking for a Romance with all the feels you could ever wish for… have I got a story for you. I’d definitely recommend One More Kiss for any Romance reader who enjoys a solid story, likable couples and interesting secondary characters. You may want to sit Matt down at some points for a stern talking to, but you’ll enjoy his journey back to the world that Vivienne offers, one where only he matters, not what he can do or who he is – just Matt, and that’s enough for them both.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

Music is in the air! You will enjoy the newest book by Samantha Chase. Matt and Vivienne create beautiful music together as their relationship grows. Enjoy!

This is one of those series that branches off of another. Matt was part of the Shaughnessy band, which sets up the theme of humiliation within fame. Matt has almost the same issue as Riley, bombing so bad that it's sent him out of town.

Which leads him to his best friends little sister who he shared a steamy kiss with. From there they go through the typical "woe is me" drama to find each other in the end. This theme is lost to me at this point but if this is your thing it'll definitely be your thing! I'm just over the best friends sibling and band romances.

Samantha Chase’s latest release, “One More Kiss” takes the readers into the lives of the rest of the Shaughnessy band, as they dismantle trying to find their own place in the cutthroat world of music. Each fighting their own demons, personal as well as professionals, it’s a “Band On The Run”.

Matt Reed had the world at his feet, before the alcohol and a Broadway disaster derails him professionally and personally. Riding out the storm by hiding at a friend’s place has an upside especially with Vivienne Forrester being his neighbor.

Vivienne Forrester always had feelings for her brother’s best friend and now living in close proximity only deepens her feelings. With her personal blog taking off and her love life getting on track, Vivienne is headed onto a life of high notes and low notes.

It’s a sweet love story from Samantha Chase as she takes the readers into the life of a rock star, his failures, fears and insecurities and the big role the media plays in making or breaking a person. And then you have the people who care about you supporting and encouraging as you try to find your way back with no guilt and regrets.

I am in love. Sorry Vivienne, I know he is yours. Oh, but sigh!!!! Why are the good ones taken??
I finished Samantha Chase’s latest release One More Kiss last week, and I am still bowled over. I was gifted with an early copy of One More Kiss at a time in my life that I really needed a reality vacation and I can honestly say that this book did that in spades. The story grabbed me from the very beginning and I could not put it down. I loved the relationship that developed between Vivienne and Matt from the very beginning. I liked the way the way Ms. Chase added substance to Matt and Vivienne by writing into the story of how they both felt guilty for keeping the relationship secret from Vivienne’s brother. It is one of the many things that made the characters more “real”.
I have been a fan of Ms. Chase’s books for two years now, I still have not read EVERYTHING she has written, YET (I will get there someday), but, I know without a doubt that when I pick up one of her books I will be in for a fantastic emotional ride. Thank you, Ms. Chase, for all the hours and hours of reading entertainment you give to your reading fans. We love you! 
