Book Review: Always My Girl by Samantha Chase

Always My GirlSometimes it is hard to see the forest for the trees, and when it comes to Anna, Quinn Shaughnessy can be just that!

Quinn Shaughnessy, the only blonde among his brunette brothers portrays himself as the “fun one” in the family. At 30, he is still playing the field, and describes a perfect date as “taking a woman to a bar or someplace with loud music or find something athletic to do.

A former Race Car Driver who became an Automotive Restorer after he retired from the racing circuit, Quinn continues his playboy lifestyle, that is until his best friend Anna changed from the tomboy he remembers when they were kids to a totally attractive woman with curves and looks lovely in dresses.

And the worst part, Quinn cannot stand it when Anna goes on dates because he wants to be the man she is having dinner with. There is only one problem though – their lifelong friendship.

So, in the grand tradition of “When Harry Meets Sally,” author Samantha Chase asks and answers the question, “Can a man and a woman truly be friends?”

Under Chase’s deft hands, “Always My Girl” turned into a story of two best friends who though they feel something for each other cannot pass the hurdle of their friendship. And this is the true crux of the matter. Once again, Chase proved her mettle as an author as she told the story of how Quinn and Anna made that journey without falling into the trap of being cheesy.

Another not-to-be-missed love story from Samantha Chase! Make sure to put “Always My Girl” in your summer reading list.

Always My Girl (The Shaughnessy Brothers)” is Rated T for Teens for some adult humor. The sex scenes are implied and not graphic.

Sometimes the love that’s closest to you is the hardest to see.
Quinn Shaughnessy’s two older brothers have found their true loves … but Quinn’s not about to join that parade.

Now Anna is determined to make a life for herself that doesn’t include pining for Quinn. Falling in love with your best friend? Easy. Telling them how you really feel? Impossible.
