Seeing You

By Samantha Chase
Seeing You by Samantha Chase digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

She walked away and spent years wondering what could have been.

He's hated her from the moment she walked away from their future.

They thought they needed closure. But maybe what they need is a second chance.

 

Billie Donovan was so close to having it all. But years ago, she was forced to walk away from Marcus Calloway, choosing her family over their shared future. Since then, she's accepted that she's just not meant to have the happy ending she's seen all her siblings find. Her family is happy and that's all that's ever mattered. But when Marcus walks back into her life, Billie is forced to finally face the choices she made all those years ago.

 

But not before she smashes a muffin in his face when he unexpectedly walks into her bakery.

 

Marcus has spent years hating the woman he once vowed to love forever, and he felt righteous in that anger because she tore their world apart. When he's forced to return to Sweetbriar Ridge to help care for his ailing father, he's shocked to find Billie running the local bakery. They had been a financial dynamic duo all those years ago—building an empire that would guarantee them a life of luxury. So why was she just a lowly baker?

 

A question that earned him a face full of muffin.

 

They both swore they needed closure, but what should have been a simple conversation awakened old passions. Suddenly, Marcus isn't as eager to leave Sweetbriar Ridge, and Billie must decide if she's prepared to give her heart to a man who doesn't always see who she really is.

“If you love, Love and Other Words, Variation, Happy Place, and Final Offer, you should read Seeing You! This is a cute small town, second chance romance. Similar to small town authors like Elsie Silver and Deveny Perry, the Donovan Series is actually interconnected standalones, so you can read them in any order! Thank you Net Galley and Dreamscape Media for my free ALC in exchange of an honest review!”
Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“I absolutely loved this small town second chance romance. I loved Billie Donovan, the girl who thought she had it all but was made to choose the love of her life or her family. Her ex fiancé Marcus Calloway wanted her to make that choice, the hardest decision of her life. Billie assumed she would never have the chance for love again and was coming to terms with it until Marcus came back to their small town during to his father having an accident and needing help and care. Marcus coming back changed everything, they both needed closure until they went to dinner to get that closure and ended up kissing and then all the feelings came rushing back. Marcus wanted Billie to come back to DC with him and back to their life they had before but Billie didn’t want to leave Sweetbriar Ridge. I couldn’t stop listening to this book, I finished it in one day. It was just THAT good. Their romance is exactly the type of book I love, think Hallmark movie where someone gets back with the love of their life. Billie and her sisters and their bakery. The scene when Billie smashed a banana chocolate chip muffin in Marcus face the day she sees him for the first time in ten years. I loved just how far Marcus went to get Billie to trust him and give him another chance. The ending of this book it completely melted my heart, Marcus went above and beyond to work with Billies family to build her a dream home without her knowing till the plan was ready to be executed. He made her dream kitchen and a home big enough of kids and entertaining and a yard for their dogs to play in. I just gush over a happy ending book and I am so glad that Marcus and Billie got married and are starting their family. If you like to read: * Small Town Romance * Second Chance Romance * Enemies to lovers * Standalone romance Thank you so much to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the advance listening copy of this book and thank you to Samantha Chase for giving me this opportunity. This is all my own words and voluntarily written.”
Anxious Face with sweat“This was so incredibly angsty. Billie & Marcus have an emotional past, and have both changed, but they both still have unresolved feelings. So when Marcus comes back to town, the opportunity for closure seems to be needed. There are a lot of emotions, a lot of angst & frustrations, hurt feelings, and self reflection.”

About Samantha Chase

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller/contemporary romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan's Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40's to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.

When she's not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.
