Description

There isn't anyone in Laurel Bay he hasn't been able to charm.
But charming a baby is a whole different story.

Life has never been better for Jamie Donovan. But then again,it's always has been good to him. And now that it's his turn to take charge of the family pub, he truly feels like everything in his life is just the way it's supposed to be. Or it was until an early morning knock on his door ended with a baby on his doorstep. The man who can normally charm his way out of any situation doesn't know the first thing about taking care of a baby and running a business. And so he turns to his siblings for help.

And once they tell him their solution, he wishes he'd never asked for help.

Fallon Murphy has always prided herself on being good with people. In all her life, she's only met one person she hasn't been able to get along with. Unfortunately, their parents are best friends and avoiding him just wasn't a choice. When his sister calls stating an emergency, the last thing Fallon expects is to find an abandoned baby – one that belongs to Jamie. As much as she'd love nothing more than to see Jamie fail at something, she would never put an innocent child at risk.

They're rivals.
Sworn enemies.
And now…roommates.
Can one small baby help turn adversaries into lovers? Or maybe even…a family?

    Charm Me is the 4th book in The Donavans Series but can be read as a standalone. Can I just say how much I love The Donavans. They love hard, they are protectors, meddlers, and banter like the best of them. This was Jamie’s story and it was the perfect small town, single dad, forced proximity, enemies to lovers story. It was sweet, sassy, sexy. Jamie was the Casanova of the clan. He was working at the pub, was a charmer, flirtatious, easy going, and loved to have fun. Fallon, has always know what she wanted. She wanted to be CEO of a company. She was smart, sassy, and focused. Fallon and Jamie had know each since childhood. They always had a competitive streak, they pushed each others buttons, and challenged each other. But, when both of their lives are turned upside down, the childhood nemesis’ make a pact to help each other out. But, what happens a baby brings them together? These two definitely took me in a roller coaster ride of emotions. They let their guards down enough to form friendship, and possibly more. But, trust and insecurities from the past make this story slightly angsty and complex. They ran from the truth, but it was great to see them grow as individuals and as a couple. They realized that somethings were just always meant to be. As always I love how Chase gives us a chapter for the next story. Can’t wait to see Patrick get his turn in her next book Kiss Me. Great read.

    This story was a lot of fun! Jaime and Fallon have the perfect balance of love and friendship that makes a relationship last. I love the competitiveness between them but also the love that shows through the pages. I love single Dad stories and this is one of the best.
  • Charming indeed!

    Four and a half stars Jamie Donovan and Fallon Murphy have been butting heads a long time. Decades, in fact. CHARM ME is the fourth in Samantha Chase’s Donovan family series, and in this book, charmer Jamie has absolutely come face to face with the situation and person he can’t actually charm. Samantha Chase brings Jamie and his loving if sometimes intrusive family to life, and Fallon ends up in the middle of all this as she’s trying to find her own best way forward. They realize relatively quickly that after years of antagonism, they actually get along relatively well and work together to help care for the truly innocent little Asher, Jamie’s baby son. Jamie definitely has some far from stellar moments along the way, but ultimately he manages to get his priorities straight and find a way to take care of those he loves. Fallon comes into her own as well, and I also appreciated that Asher’s mom isn’t villainized, and that she is written compassionately. A good addition to the series.
