One More Chance

Totally blown away by how much I loved the characters, storyline, and HEA One More Chance by Samantha Chase, the final book in her Band on the Run series, is a second chance, HEA, standalone / series story that totally ruined a night’s sleep. I could not put it down. Michael (Mick to everyone except Sienna) and Sienna parted ways when he hopped a bus all those years ago, hoping to make it bi. Fast forward to today and he’s done all that and more. Mick’s first band (characters Julian, Reily, and Matt from the Band on the Run series) launched him as the “go to” manager for bands. He’s got a staff, houses all over the world ... but the houses are empty and he’s lonely. Sienna is at the top of her game as a professor ... she too has hit her career goals, but that’s it. She’s not really living even though she’s well respected in her profession. A chance meeting has Mick convincing Sienna to take a few weeks off and see if the spark can be reignited. Amid travel that has the two of them realizing that they may have something that can last. While navigating the newness of their relationship, they are faced with the sobering reality of what a life of regrets might look like. I loved the ending ... and immediately started the re-read. One More Chance is a story of friendship, romance, and what happens when you do take a chance ... on a better tomorrow and someone to stand beside you. Ms. Chase has outdone herself on this story as it goes well beyond the romance, with threads of deep and meaningful friendships. I received an ARC; this is my honest review

Getting a second chance after 20 years doesn’t happen all the time, but it happened to Mick when Sierra walked back into his life. Mick left to pursue his dreams which he accomplished. Sierra is accomplished in her own right as well. Mick is still very much attracted to Sierra even after all that time has passed. They decide to take 2 weeks to get reacquainted. This was a sweet book overall with very little spice. I received this ARC through the publisher and I am voluntarily reviewing this book, opinions are my own.

One More Chance was, hands down, my favorite Band on the Run story of the series! Every time Mick was on the page of one of the band members books, I'd wonder what he looked like and how he became their manager. I wanted to know if there was a girl that got away or broke his heart...and if he'd ever see her again. I got all those answers and more in this one, and it was marvelous. I don't know if I would have appreciated young Mick like I do older, more mature Mick. And I adore Sienna! This brilliant scientist has spent her whole life working towards her career, and she needs to live out loud. And boy, does she get to experience the life she's been missing with Mick by her side! Two weeks together will never be enough, in my opinion. Samantha Chase really touched my heart with this second chance love story. One More Chance is one of my top two favorite books from this author. And considering her large body of work, and the fact that I've read every one, I'd say it's pretty dang terrific!

Samantha Chase has done it again! I absolutely loved One More Chance, the fourth book in her Band on the Run series! I can truly say that One More Chance is an incredible love story, which filled me with a rollercoaster of emotions, and it was impossible to put it down. I loved every moment on every page. Samantha Chase continues to deliver the incredibly written love stories that I LOVE to read. I love second chance at love story, and the amazing characters, they feel like family! Samantha Chase does not disappoint her readers with all the feels in One More Chance and has once again delivered an amazing story filled with everything that I have come to love about and expect from her books. Who does not love hot sexy men, strong, passionate females, big loving families, and caring friends, who always support each other? One of my favorite parts is how Samantha Chase incorporates the title of the book into the love story. I love how Samantha develops her characters in such a way that you fall in love with them and care about them much like a good friend an how she always manages to create the "perfect" heroine, who is a strong, sassy woman on her own, to balance out the sexy, swoon worthy man. Samantha Chase continues to deliver all that and so much more. I am not sure how she does it, but Samantha Chase has once again given her readers another remarkable book. One More Chance is filled with all the heartbreaking and heartwarming moments and plot twists that I have come to love and expect in a Samantha Chase love story, I especially loved the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. Samantha Chase continues to prove that she is an incredible storyteller. I love that she writes her stories from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting inside their minds and knowing their thoughts and how they really feel. My favorite moments in One More Chance are the lighter moments where I found myself smiling and laughing aloud. I also love the parts that pull at my heartstrings and cause me to sigh, as I read the heartbreaking moments. One More Chance is filled with such moments and so much more. One More Chance is a best friend’s little sister and second chance at love story between Michael “Mick” Tyler, agent and manager to some of the biggest talent in the music business and Sienna Ashley, neuropsychologist and doing research at Duke University. Mick and Sienna had not seen each other in over twenty years, the night that Mick left to pursue a career in music and left Sienna behind after she confessed her true feelings for him. Sienna is in New York for a convention and is planning a two-week vacation following the convention. Sienna’s brother, Jason invites her for dinner, then runs into Mick and invites him to dinner as well. Sienna and Mick remain at the restaurant after Jason and his wife, Bree leave. They end up at Mick’s penthouse. Sienna informs Mick that she plans on taking a two-week vacation but does not have any plans. Mick takes matters into his own plans and plans a two-week trip helping Sienna cross items off her bucket list, including private plane rides, and luxurious hotels. Conversation between Sienna and Mick flows so easily, I love the chemistry between them. I love how they share secrets with one another that they have not shared with anyone before, especially the reason that Mick left Sienna behind and why he did not reach out to her. I love the ways that Sienna and Mick spend time together, all the sightseeing that they do and how their relationship changes as they spend more time together. I love all the plans that Mick made for Sienna so that she could have the adventure of a lifetime and everything that he does to include her friend, Eleanor in their trip. I love the changes that Sienna is willing to make in her life to have a chance with a life with Mick. I love the heart-to-heart conversations that Sienna and Mick share. I love how Sienna calls Mick, “Michael” and how he prefers that she call him that name. I was so happy that Mick and Sienna finally admitted their true feelings for one another. I love the special gift that Sienna’s friend, Eleanor, gave to her and its significance. Another favorite part Mick’s proposal and all the planning and details that he incorporated into his proposal. I love the epilogue, all the changes that Mick and Sienna make in their lives to have a future with one another and the location of their wedding. One More Chance was an amazing love story; I am so glad that Mick and Sienna got the happily ever after. I loved all the surprises that filled the pages of this love story. I love all the characters in this series. I loved catching up with all the Shaughnessy band members, their spouses and children and enjoyed all the interactions, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing and the descriptions of all the locations on their adventure in One More Chance. Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I loved every moment. I loved Mick and Sienna’s love story! Highly recommend this beautifully written love story.

Four and a half stars One More Chance by Samantha Chase is the fourth in her Band on the Run series. Michael Tyler and Sienna Ashley were nearly inseparable until it was time for Michael to move across the country to pursue his dream of being a mover and shaker in the music industry. At that point, the few years separating them in age might as well have been a hundred, and Mick and Sienna resign themselves to being alone and throw themselves into being the best they can be. When they meet again by chance decades later, they are more than ready to seize the day… Samantha Chase’s second chance story is a moving one of deferred desires and the importance of priorities as we live our lives. Beautiful close to the series.
