A Small Town, Second Chance, Firefighter, standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author, Samantha Chase
She's being suspected of setting her workplace on fire.
He needs to prove it wasn't her.
Now he's on a mission to convince the one that got away that they belong together.
Ashlynn Donovan's life just hit rock bottom. She lost her job, there are no prospects on the horizon, and she just unknowingly flashed the hot new firefighter in town. This isn't the first time she's embarrassed herself in front of him, but she was prepared to react the same way she did years ago – by running away. But Reid's persistent and isn't ready to let her get away a second time.
Reid Baylor always hoped to return to Sweetbriar Ridge—the only place he's felt a connection to after a lifetime spent moving from place to place. When he learns of an opening in the fire department, he jumps at the chance to return to the small town he wants to call home again. And just when he thinks life can't get any better, he runs into the one girl he's never been able to forget. But reminding Ashlynn of their embarrassing first meeting might not have been the best move, especially when he wants to prove that he's the man for her.
When Ashlynn is suspected of arson for the fire at her former workplace, Reid's dream of becoming a fire inspector is on the line—and so is any chance he had with Ashlynn. Will his chance at getting both his dream job and the girl of his dreams go up in flames?
Reviews
Teasing You is the 2nd book in the Donavan’s Sweet Briar Ridge Series but can be read as a standalone. Reid and Ashlynn have a rocky past, these old high school buddies get a second chance at love. Loved diving back into this series with these two. They are full of banter, funny with a slice of spice. The push, pull and chemistry was just right for them. While Ashlynn’s past makes her not trust people and push them away. Reid finds a way to get back into her life yet once again. Little did he know how he would need to come to her rescue. Samantha threw a little plot twist in here that I wasn’t expecting which gave a book a slightly dramatic and angsty vibe to solve the mystery. All in all great read. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

I absolutely adored Ashlynn and Reid's story. Firefighter's are one of my favorite MMc professions, so I was excited for that right off the bat. But to also have them on the brink of a relationship and she's suspoected of arson, what a plot device! Plus, both characters are likable and easy to cheer for. I think there's an element of alost insta-love that usually turns me off, but not so in this case. Reid and Ashlynn are well written characters, as well, and I think thatas a reader I had a bit of that inst-love for them as well. While only book two in this Donovan series, I think they could be my overall favorite couple from that (extended) family!

This is a great listen. Carly Tobins did an amazing job with the narration. She gave the characters perfect voice, emotion and personality. Ashlynn has run into some bad luck…she is not having a good day. And to top it off she flashes her HS crush. She is fiesty, very outspoken and is determined to prove she’s innocent. Reid is back in town in town, after being away, to work at the fire station . Helen has t had the best life growing up but he is a hard working, kind man that protects others. Ashlynn and Reid reconnect - they have amazing chemistry, banter, overall dialogue and determinations. I love their conversations and Ryan helps bring a little calm to Ashlynn. They work well together very well..although there is some drama and double along the way…they work through the tough times and come out even better. This is a great series to read or listen to.

Teasing You is book 2 in the Donovans Sweetbriar Ridge series by Samantha Chase and up next is Ashlynn and Reid’s story. Reid and Ashlynn have a history going back to high school but his family never stayed in one place very long. Now years later Reid, firefighter has the opportunity to move back to the only place that felt like home, Sweetbriar Ridge. He sees Ashlynn again and finds the sparks are still there but she is accused of setting her former job’s business on fire and he wants to prove her innocence.. Second chances, mystery, rollercoaster ride, ups and downs, family, friends, twists, turns and sizzle! I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from Valentine PR. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Samantha Chase has done it again! I absolutely loved Teasing You, the second book in her The Donovans: Sweetbriar Ridge series! I can honestly say that Teasing You 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 a second chance at love story, the Sweetbriar Ridge setting, and the amazing characters, they feel like family! Samantha Chase does not disappoint her readers with all the feels in Teasing You 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? Teasing You is a second chance at love story between Reid Baylor, firefighter and arson investigator who recently relocated to Sweetbriar Ridge and Ashlynn Donovan, hair stylist who recently got fired from Lavish Locks. Reid’s fire captain in Roanoke mentions an opening at the Sweetbriar Ridge fire department, and Reid applies for the job. Reid has always loved the time he spent in Sweetbriar Ridge when he was younger. While Reid is in town for the interview, he runs into Ashlynn at the engagement party of their friends, Leo, and Avery. I love their first interaction with each other, how it is similar to one from their past, and how they end up catching up with one another at the party. Ashlynn’s sister Billie is helping Ashlynn get a business loan to open up her own salon. Reid gets the job, moves to Sweetbriar Ridge, and wants to get reacquainted with Ashlynn. As Ashlynn and Reid head out of town to spend time together, they notice firetrucks heading into town. Reid calls dispatch to make sure that he is not needed at the scene. When they return to town, they learn that Lavish Locks has been destroyed by fire, and the owner Becky is telling everyone that Ashlynn set the fire as retaliation of getting fired. Conversation between Ashlynn and Reid flows so easily and I love that they share secrets with each other that they have not shared with anyone before. I love the chemistry between them. As Ashlynn and Reid spend time together with Reid trying to discover what happened with the fire at Lavish Locks, things change between them. Eventually the fire chief and fire investigator show up at Ashlynn’s apartment to discuss her involvement in the Lavish Locks arson. I love that Ryder Ashford helps Ashlynn with a lawyer. An unexpected plot twist puts Ashlynn and Reid’s relationship in jeopardy, and once again changes things between them. I love the changes that Reid is willing to make to have a life with Ashlynn, and the opportunities that come available to Reid. I love that the arson investigation gets resolved. I was so happy that Reid and Ashlynn finally admitted their true feelings for one another and what Reid does to get back together with Ashlynn. Another favorite part is the epilogue, their new home, and their happily ever after. I love the name the Ashlynn’s new salon and the full circle moment that happens at the salon opening. I love all the changes that Reid and Ashlynn make in their lives to have a future with one another. I love how Ashlynn wants to have a relationship with her estranged father, Ronan, which leads to heart-to-heart conversation with her mother about what happened between them. Teasing You was an amazing love story; I am so glad that Reid and Ashlynn got the happily ever after. I loved all the surprises that filled the pages of this love story. I love how Samantha Chase 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. Teasing You 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. 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. I love all the characters in this series. I enjoy all the interactions among the Donovan siblings, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing and the descriptions of the Sweetbriar Ridge in Teasing You. I loved catching up with Patrick, Marissa, and Ryder, as well as the other Donovan siblings. Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I cannot wait to read the other stories in The Donovans: Sweetbriar Ridge series. Highly recommend this beautifully written love story. Received an advanced copy from the author.
