Review:
Samantha Chase is a new to me author, but when I was sent the
information about her newest release, I knew One More Kiss was right up my alley. I adore the older brother's
best friend falling for the younger sister troupe, and Ms. Chase did a great
job with Matt and Vivienne's story. As One
More Kiss was my first book by Samantha Chase, I wasn't sure exactly what
to expect. I love reading a new to me author and then falling in love with
their voice.
I love there was a history between Matt and Vivienne, even if
Matt only remembered her from when they were kids. Yes, Vivienne was initially
a little hostile with Matt, but she soon let that go and I enjoyed watching
them become friends. I liked they were friends first before they gave into
their attraction to one another. Matt and Vivienne had really great chemistry,
and I think they were so good together because they started out as friends.
One More
Kiss was a great start to Ms. Chase's newest series. I already know
I want to go back and read so many books on her backlist, and I also can't
wait to read more books in the Band on the Run series.
Rating: 4 Stars (B+)

Excerpt:
Carefully, she put the cap back on the bottle and stood.
“Okay, maybe I don’t know exactly what you’re going through, but I can see how
it’s affecting you. And I know I don’t know you that well, but it doesn’t mean
I can’t see what’s right in front of me.”
“Really?” he asked incredulously.
“Yes, really.”
He made a snorting sound and walked away. Vivienne eyed the
back door and seriously considered just calling it a night. Clearly she wasn’t
helping him in any way, shape or form and was only serving to instigate on an
already sensitive subject. Besides, she wasn’t good with confrontations. It was
one of the reasons she enjoyed working from home – no drama.
So without a word, she simply made her way across the room
toward the door. Her hand had barely touched the doorknob when she felt Matt’s
hands on her shoulders as he spun her around to face him. She gasped in
surprise. “Matt? What…?”
“What do you see right now, Vivienne?” he asked, his voice
low, a near growl.
“I don’t…what do you mean?” There was a tremor in her voice
and it was breathy and very unlike her.
He stepped in closer and her back came in contact with the
wall. “You said you can see what’s right in front of you. So tell me, what do
you see?”
It was a loaded question, she thought. And if she wasn’t
careful, she’d blurt out how she saw a sexy-as-hell man who turned her on
simply by being in the same room! But there was no way she could admit to that
and she knew it certainly wouldn’t help the situation at all.
“I see a man who is struggling with his identity,” she said,
swallowing hard.
His eyes narrowed. “Seriously? That’s what you see? That’s
all you see?”
There was something in his tone that warned her this was
going in a completely different direction than she thought and all she could do
was nod.
“Then you honestly can’t see what’s right in front of you.”
Now his voice was gruff and so deep and so close that Vivienne almost purred
from the sound of it. “Because I’m not struggling – I’m a bastard. I’m selfish.
And you know what? I don’t even care.”
She shook her head.
“Trust me. I know what I want, and it’s right in front of
me.”
Her eyes went wide as she softly gasped.
And then he pressed against her fully and kissed her.
