One More Chance

Rate this book
Twenty-three years ago, he hopped on a bus to pursue his dreams in the music business.
But that meant leaving behind the girl who could never really be his.


Now older, wiser, and insanely successful, Mick Tyler has achieved everything he ever wanted, but he’s never been more miserable. Feeling a little disenchanted and introspective, Mick can’t help but let his mind wander through all of life’s “what if” moments. The biggest what if? The girl he walked away from—the one who was too young and had dreams of her own. And now that he’s thought about her once, he can’t stop wondering.

Sienna Ashley is desperate for a little excitement. As thrilling and satisfying as her pursuit of scientific research has been for her intellect, it’s left her heart feeling a little neglected. For years she dreamed of finding someone who not only understood her brains but accepted her and all her quirks. Once upon a time she thought she’d found that someone, but it’s been over two decades since he walked out of her life.

Past and present collide when Mick and Sienna unexpectedly come face to face. Together, they decide to see what could have happened had they chosen a different path all those years ago. But they’ve given themselves a deadline. Two weeks. Two glorious weeks to either work each other out of their systems, or to embark on the love of a lifetime.

~23 years ago he left to pursue his dreams and give her the time pursue her own dreams. Now, Mick is more successful than he ever thought but it doesn’t change the fact that he has no one to celebrate his accomplishments with. No one to share his life with. Enter Sienna, the woman always in the back of his mind. She’s about to take a vacation and looking for excitement in her life.. It seems like fate throwing in the man she loved once upon a time.~

Honestly, this was so beautiful and real. I was originally bummed knowing Mick had left her behind but knowing what I do now, I totally get it. Sometimes it’s the right person, wrong time. I do love that they often thought of the other.. It made my heart hurt knowing how much time they lost but I love the adventure life took them on to bring them to each other.

And Eleanor… ugh, talk about crushed. I love the part she played in Sienna and Mick’s relationship!

The scarcity of mature characters in romance is such that I find myself jumping at the mere display of greying hair on romance covers and this modern daddy clinch—over which I spent a little too much time thirsting— promised a passionate age gap romance that had my expectations run high. Maybe too high.

I believe this was my first Samantha Chase book and though I enjoyed the writing and the story as a whole, I want to say it didn't quite deliver what I consider a great romance.
It was a perfectly sweet story, a second chance at love between two very mature characters, not without sexy times but it missed the passion the cover is blatantly selling. Don't get me wrong I did appreciate the healthy communication but I think I needed some angst or something more challenging between Sienna and Mick. I had no idea what level of sexiness I would find and thought I'd take my cue from this very hot cover. Surely the content would match the hotness displayed by this HOT couple? Errr, expectations were not entirely met!

If you're looking for a super sweet second chance romance with a small age gap (He's 7 years older than she) and don't mind the following content warning, then you'll probably enjoy this one!

Well, it was a lovely story.. But this was my first Samantha Chase, so fans of hers will probably know exactly what they are in for and it wasn't quite up my alley.

I don't want to go into every little thing that didn't work, because ultimately, if you love this author I'm sure this book delivers exactly what you are looking for.

The characters were so sweet together and seeing them get a real chance at love after 23 years was very inspiring. Even if I wanted to see more of their passion and connection on the page.. I still believed in their HEA.

One More Chance is Book 4 in the Band on the Run series by Samantha Chase, featuring a second chance romance for Mick and Sienna over 20 years in the making! Mick has spent his entire adult life organizing other people’s lives and keeping them happy, but now he’s feeling lonely and thinking about the road not taken. Imagine his surprise when he walks into a restaurant and sees his biggest regret, the girl he left behind! Is love enough to build a life on, when you live two completely different lives?

This is definitely my favorite book of the series! Mick and Sienna are both mature and communicate well for the most part, and they just have an undeniable connection! I personally relate to Sienna as a fellow science nerd, and I loved watching her step outside her comfort zone to experience the other side of life. Like the other books, this one has the great world building associated with the band and the camaraderie and banter that the guys and their families add to the story. This book also has Sienna’s brother, Jason, his wife, Bree, and Eleanor who all add to the story in their own way. Eleanor is such an important emotional catalyst for Sienna. Her storyline really touched my heart and had me reaching for the tissues!! She became such an important part of the journey, and made me love Mick even more! I felt like a cheerleader rooting for Mick and Sienna to make things work, because they both deserved it so much!! They definitely had more passionate chemistry in their scenes than some of the other books, and they just clearly belonged together. My only complaint was that the epilogue didn’t go far enough into the future! I want to know what happens to them later!!😂

I received an advanced review copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful story about second chance at love! 5 stars for this one!
Mick walked away from the one girl he truly cared about, Sienna. He didn't want to stop her from being all that she could be. Now years later and a chance meeting, they end up out to dinner with her brother, and the sparks fly!
Sienna has been working non stop, and when her only friend tells her she needs to not put so much of her time into work and to start living her life, running into Mick couldn't have come at a better time! One night leads to a two week trip to take her everywhere she wants to go!
This insta love story was written so amazing, I loved it from start to finish! Don't miss out on this one, grab it as soon as possible!

Wow! This book kept me completely captivated. This author will keep you coming back for more. I loved it from the beginning and I didn’t want it to end. Mick had always regretted leaving Sienna behind. He had more money than he knew what to do with only he missing the one he let get away. Fate stepped in and he knew he would never let sienna go again. Sienna was used to being on her own. She was so driven in her career she thought she’d lost a chance at what mattered most. These two will take you on a whirlwind.

It checked off all the boxes
for a true romance.
It's a feel-good, touching,
funny, & sexy story.
Great characters.
Mick, was Sienna's brother's
best friend. They fell in love.
He wanted to pursue his dream
to be a Band Manager, in LA.
Sienna, was 16 at the time.
Highly intelligent, her life was
just beginning.

come face to face. Are there
still feeling there for both
of them?
Once I started reading

I’m going to keep this simple.

It’s a really great story. It unfolded realistically. It was fun. It was emotional and heartwarming. It was adulting at its best. There was no dramatics for the sake of drama except maybe Eleanor’s circumstance but I’m not going into detail because, spoiler. I’m going to go as far as stating this is the best Samantha story I’ve read in a while, but there’s a thing I am ridiculously twitchy about.



So, that’s me, keeping it simple :)

Sienna is a research scientists. Mick is a music manager. Sienna is the girl he walked away from. This is their second chance love story. Walking away from Sienna was Mick's greatest regret. Sienna loves her job however since a friends illness she is becoming restless. They reconnect and Mick has two weeks to prove their love is real. Mick is still the same boy Sienna fell in love with. Being with Sienna is the best moment of his life. Mick brings sunshine and adventure to her life. Mick is there when she really needs him. Sienna realizes that she is willing to leave her comfort zone to be with Mick. Sienna is definitely worth the wait. This is a terrific addition to this series. It was wonderful to catch up to all the Band on the Run characters.

One More Chance (Band on the Run, #4) by Samantha Chase
4 stars
M/F Second chance romance
Triggers: Cancer
I was given this book for an honest review by Wicked Reads.

Mick has lived his dream. He made it. Despite his upbringing and where he came from, he was able to move to LA and now he has houses all over the place, is a household name and people want him to represent them.

Sienna is incredibly accomplished for being so young. Having skipped some grades and graduated college super early, being a scientist is what she has accomplished and she's very good at her job. After a conference, she meets up with her brother before heading out on a 2 week vacation. Sienna is a planner and she's going to try and take this vacation one day at a time - no plans.

Mick runs into Sienna after years and years. He's just as attracted to her, still loves her and is in a place where he knows exactly what he wants. Sienna is just as attracted to Mick, but she's not sure about her future.

With a sick friend back home who encourages Sienna to live and not let life pass her by, Sienna and Mick will take the 2 weeks and reconnect, explore, live and love.

These two have a sweetheart love. It's a young love that never truly had a chance to blossom. Watching these two navigate their professional worlds and their personal worlds was a joy. You'll be cheering them on and I can't wait to see what happens with these characters.

Mick and Siennas story was different then I thought when it came them eventually seeing each other again after so many years. They’ve basically lived more apart then they were he was her brothers best friend and her crush and after 2 decades those still hold true even though she wishes it didn’t.

To Mick, Sienna was the one who got away, granted she was to young when he left for LA, but she was on his mind often, now even more.
He get surprise of his life when he sees his old friend and got invited for dinner, and who shows up, that's right Sienna, she is the sister of friend. since both of them are on "vacation", they will spend two weeks together.
This time, Mick doesn't hide his feelings for Sienna, she has to make a decision.
I love Samantha's books and very happy that she decided to write Mick's story. He need it.
Sweet, wonderful, awesome.

(3.5⭐️’s) This may have minor SPOILERS so be warned🚩


THE H (Michael “Mick” Tyler): Loved him. This story definitely showed how much he cared for the h throughout the book and I never doubted those feelings, not even once.

THE h (Sienna Ashley): I liked the h but not as much as the H. Most of the time she went after what she wanted (loved that about her) but for an independent woman there were times where she came across a little needy and a bit selfish. I didn’t agree with some of the choices she made but thankfully she made up for it in the end.

SIDE CHARACTERS: I liked the side characters. They helped bring the story together but didn’t take over. If anything, reading about them made me want to read their stories next.

FAVORITE QUOTE: “I’ve fantasized about this too,” she panted. “But in all those fantasies, you were naked with me. Any chance you can make that happen?”
This quote made me laugh. I loved that it was the h saying it and not the H.

ENDING: HEA

TRIGGERS: h friend has Cancer (on page and you may need some tissues)

STANDALONE: This is part of a series but I had no problems reading it on its own. I didn’t feel like I missed anything but it does talk about the other characters from the previous books and what they’ve been up to. If you don’t like minor spoilers then I would recommend reading the books in order starting with Rileys book “This Is Our Song”. It’s in a different series (The Shaunghnessy brothers series) so you might want to check that out first and then start this series.

OVERALL: I really enjoyed the story. The writing flowed well and if there was any errors/typos I didn’t notice. I will say it would’ve been nice to have a little more drama between the H and h, especially in the beginning to add a little more push and pull, but other then that I loved it and plan on adding it to my re-read shelf.

Happy Reading🖤

Oh and I received an ARC from NetGalley but this review is 100% all me.

Mick couldn't believe his eyes when he ran into his old friend Jason while in town. When Jason invited Mick to join them for dinner the last person he expected to be there was Jason's younger sister Sienna. It had been over twenty years but his feelings for her came instantly roaring back. She had been too young for him then and she needed the chance to fulfill her dreams of college. Now, all he wanted was a second chance and he wasn't going to let her get away again.

Twenty three years ago Michael Tyler left Sienna Ashley devistated when he left town without her. Even though she graduated high school at sixteen, deep down she knew she was still too young for her older brother's best friend. Now a neuropsychologist, Sienna has accomplished everything she set out to do. But, suddenly seeing Michael again after all these years she's reevaluating everything she wants.

When Michael insists on making all Sienna's vacation dreams come true the two finally have a second chance to reconnect on many levels. But when it's time to get back to reality how will they make a long distance relationship work?

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.

A few years later, and having become a successful and powerful agent for several artists, Mick meets a friend from his childhood and it is there that he sees the girl he has not been able to forget. Sienna is no longer the girl that Michael left behind, she is already a woman who has become a neuropsychologist, but what has not changed is what she feels for him, even after all these years, and following the advice of a friend and colleague, she decides enjoy the moment. They only have two weeks to reconnect but those two weeks won't be enough.
This story is one of second chances, improvement, friendship, loyalty and love. I enjoyed it from beginning to end and the characters are charming, I highly recommend them.

One More Chance is the fourth book in the Band on the Run series and a great second chance romance.

Mick Tyler left his hometown over twenty years ago seeking to follow the dreams he had of making it in the music business. While he left the girl who he loved behind, he knew he had to given their age difference, the fact she was his best friend's little sister and where both of them were in life. He hasn't stopped thinking of her in all these years. She was the one woman who has always had his heart.

Sienna Ashley was devastated when Mick left all those years ago, but at the age of 16, she knows that he made the right decision, as much as it hurt. She had high school to finish and college to attend and now as a successful neuropsychologist she's accomplished so much in her career. Although, she may have been too focused on her career.

As fate would have it, while at dinner with her brother, Sienna ends up running into Mick for the first time in more than two decades. It's obvious that the connection is still there between the two of them. They talk and they both realize that they are too career focused and they both need a break. For the next two weeks, they set out on an adventure set around a bucket list of sorts that Sienna has. Will the two weeks show them they belong together? Or will it show them that they are both so dedicated to their careers that that is where they belong?

I really enjoyed this adventure that Sienna and Mick embarked upon. It was great to see them reconnect, but also to see some familiar faces make appearances throughout the book as well. I loved how the two of them were able to help one another see what they had been missing in their lives and how much they wanted the connection that the other could bring to their lives.

I always enjoy Samantha Chase books and this one was no exception. This is such a good series and one I would highly recommend!

(I received an ARC for this book)

Two decades ago, Mick Tyler left his hometown to chase his dreams. And he found them. But he lost Sienna in the process. Now, all these years later, he feels lost. Lonely. Needing more out of life. All these years unable to move on and let go, they cross paths again in the middle of New York City. Fate? Is that you? Sienna is feeling just as lost as him. And while she’s not a spontaneous person, she doesn’t think twice to invite Mick to join her on her two week vacation. Which gives him the opportunity to give her a dream vacation. They’ve lived a lifetime apart, and now Mick isn’t hesitating to tell her exactly how he feels. And only two weeks to prove to her that their love is real. Sienna is worried she won’t fit into his world, and it holds her back from truly considering becoming a part of it. I loved that they both lived full lives, dreamed big dreams and achieved them. And while their love seemed genuine, and I never doubted it, the slow burn nature of the reconnection made it seem odd. And it made me forget I was reading about two over-30 adults. I wish there was more of a focus on them properly reconnecting, willing to discuss the future they wanted together. Instead of ignoring it while they reconnected. But, without a doubt, I adored them. And their unquestionable love for each other. Even after all their time apart.

One More Chance by Samantha Chase, book four in The Band on the Run series, is wonderful story is about reconnecting and getting a second chance at love between Mick and Sienna, the one who got away. Mick (Michael) Tyler is a manager and agent to some of the biggest bands and artists in the industry. He is feeling lonely, wondering how his life might have been if had made different choices; especially about the one that got away.

Twenty-three years ago Mick left Sienna Ashley devastated when he left town without her. Even though she graduated high school at sixteen, deep down she knew she was still too young for her older brother's best friend. Now a neuropsychologist, Sienna has accomplished everything she set out to do; but, unexpectedly seeing Mick again, after all these years, she begins to reevaluate her life and all she ever wanted. One thing leads to another and they decide to spend her two week vacation together; making all of Sienna's vacation dreams come true. To say it was an amazing journey would be a major understatement. The sparks that were there when they were teens had not died out, even after all these years later, giving them a second chance at love. These two were made for each other, found each other when they were both ready to appreciate each other, and work out any obstacles in their way.

Ms. Chase wrote a wonderful, second chance story that should not to be missed. She provided a tale that sizzled with chemistry, magnetic attraction, and endearing secondary characters helping Mick and Sienna get that chance for love, happiness, and a future together. I highly recommend One More Chance to other readers.

I am not sure why every other book lately is an age gap, but I am enjoying the heck out of the trend and see absolutely no reason for it to end any time soon...especially when they are as much fun as this one.

Mick and Sienna were together, sort of, when they were younger and then life did what it often does and split them apart due to the gap in their ages. Years later, once each got to where they wanted in life they find themselves together again with an opportunity to make a different choice.

I loved that they both seemed to know the chance they had been given from the second they were re-introduced at dinner, although it took a while for them to both figure out that this wasn't a short term thing but something that could really work.

Joining them while they figured out their new places in one another's lives was a lot of fun and I enjoyed their story and their chemistry.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

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

I LOVE the cover. That's part of the reasons why I wanted to read this book. This was my first time reading from Samantha Chase. While I enjoyed parts of the book, there were times where I just feel like skipping most parts.

Mick and Sienna knew each other because Sienna was Mick's best friend sister. Mick left town when he was 19 and Sienna was 16 to pursue his dream. 23 years later, they met each other again. They were both workaholics. Sienna decided to take her two weeks vacation, and Mick ended up going on that vacation with her. What will they do when the two weeks are up?



Overall, this was an ok book for me.

Catch up with characters from the Band on the Run Series and get a glimpse of the Shaughnessy brothers when band manager, Mick Tyler gets a second chance at love. After twenty-three years in the business, Mick has made a great life for himself, but something is missing. He has success, fame, and fortune, but he's never forgotten the girl he left behind all those years ago, his best friend's sister, Sienna Ashley.

When a chance meeting with Jason Ashley and his wife finds Mick joining them for dinner, he's shocked to see Sienna, who's in town for a professional conference. She's taken two weeks off work after the conference without any specific plans, and reconnecting with Mick over dinner turns her unplanned vacation into an impromptu bucket list adventure. From Tennessee to California and points in between, they spend time getting reacquainted and fanning the embers of a love that never died.

Hold onto your heart, my reader friend, because this one is definitely an emotional ride. Sienna is our quintessential “bless her heart" heroine. She's a genius level of brilliant, poised and beautiful, but just enough nerdy and completely out of touch with her emotions. A second chance with the boy she once loved and never forgot is a miraculous gift, if she can just get her brain to be quiet long enough for her to listen to her heart.

I adore a second-chance romance, and there's something so appealing when the characters are entering the second half of their lives. They're grounded and mature, and they've had a lot of time to discover what they want from life and see what truly matters. Of course, it doesn’t mean that everything comes easily, because merging two completely different lives is no easy task.

Prepare to have your heartstrings masterfully manipulated in this touching, poignant, phenomenal romance. Devastatingly heartbreaking but sweet, tender, and satisfying, this is an exquisite romance you absolutely won’t want to miss!

Once again Samantha Chase has written an excellent book that I couldn't stop reading, and even thought it's over 300 pages I thought it was such a quick read. I don't know what it was about this whirl wind romance that just made it fly, but it truly was over in no time. I would describe this book as a second chance romance, but not in the way we typically see it. It isn't an established couple getting a second chance at love, but a case of what almost was finally getting their time.
Throughout One More Chance there is theme of not having regrets. The male lead, Michael "Mick" has always regretted leaving behind the female lead, Sienna. When he left their home town for LA neither of them were in the right place for them to really be together. Sienna was younger, with big dreams, while Mick had different dreams that required him to leave. 23 years later when they happen to meet again Sienna is helping her best friend and colleague, Eleanor, live vicariously through Sienna's trip around the country a regret of hers that she never took the time.
I thought that while Mick and Sienna's love story was a whirlwind two week romance, there were aspects of it that seemed so organic and real. Because they knew each other when they were young they knew the basics about one another. And neither of them really changed that much over the years, so they were able to pick up where they left off all those years ago.

Mick seems to have to all, looks, a very successful career as a music manager, and of course money, but lately he feels like something is missing.
Sienna is a beautiful and very smart women. She decided it was about time she take some time off and have a vacation.
This is a wonderful second chance romance. I loved the characters, Mick is so sweet and thoughtful, and I love how Sienna tells what’s she wants and just says what’s on her mind. There was a lot of happy and sexy moments and a few sad ones mixed in as well. The Storyline was fun and it was great to get a glimpse of the other guys from the Band on the Run Series. Overall I thought it was a great read and I definitely recommend One More Chance!

One More Chance by Samantha Chase,
I am just loving this series and we are down to book four. This is Mick's book. I’d you have been reading along then you are just like me and have been eagerly waiting for Mick's story too. You guys I couldn’t be happier that his journey is a second chance with non other then some one form his past. I love it! Sienna was Mick's first love the one that got away. Much had to make the decision to leave her behind when he decided to follow his dreams. However she never left his mind or heart. Now years later they are both older and wiser and end up having dinner with her brother. They see each other after so many years but the attraction and chemistry is still there and they decide to try to see what happens. Will it work or will they walk away from again. You have to grab this book it’s so good and I highly recommend.

Samantha Chase Never Disappoints, and this one is no different. She writes with such passion and her love for the characters she creates just jumps off the page at her readers.

23 years ago, Mick wanted a career in the Music industry. He left Sienna Ashley, a 16 year-old, that had a bright future ahead of her that he couldn’t ruin by dragging her with him. 23 years later, they are given a second chance to see where things would have gone if they gave their love a chance. 23 years. Is the love still as strong as ever? Pick up the fourth book in the band on the run series and see for yourself.

This was a sweet second chance age gap romance that had me in all the feels.

5/5 stars. Highly recommend.

Sienna and Mick!! They have a second chance and it si a beautiful whirlwind. Their trip, their adventures, the emotions and the conversations had me flying through the story and loving all that comes with a SC romance. Mick is the ultimate planner and fixer and now his story to an HEA is here and it is so good. Sienna is fascinating as she balances her live with this new potential and her dreams coming true. Along with beautiful moments there were some major tearjerker moments that added to the beauty of their love story and gave some great lessons. It was great seeing the band and some of the Shaughnessy’s again! Loved the story and the ending was ❤️
