Publisher Description
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.
Mick Tyler is insanely successful and has achieved everything he ever wanted, but he's never been more miserable. Feeling a little disenchanted and introspective, he can't help but let his mind wander through all of life's "what if" moments. The biggest what if? What if I hadn't walked away from the girl of my dreams—the one who 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 years 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.

4.5stars-emotional & engaging
4.5 stars-ONE MORE CHANCE is the fourth (and final ?) instalment in Samantha Chase’s contemporary,adult BAND ON THE RUN romance series focusing on the band Shaughnessy. This is forty-two year old, agent/rep/promoter Michael ‘Mick’ Tyler, and thirty-nine year old neuropsychologist Sienna Ashley’s story line. ONE MORE CHANCE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Mick and Sienna) ONE MORE CHANCE follows the second chance romance and relationship between forty-two year old Michael ‘Mick’ Tyler and thirty-nine year old Sienna Ashley. Twenty-three years earlier a then sixteen year old Sienna Ashley professed her love for her brother’s best friend, nineteen year old Michael Tyler as Michael readied himself for the next chapter of his life. Michael knew Sienna was too young and her future had yet to be set in stone, so Michael walked away, leaving a heart broken Sienna in his wake. Fast forward to present day, Michael, now known as Mick Tyler, talent agent extraordinaire, will come face to face with his past in the guise of neuropsychologist Sienna Ashley. Sienna Ashley was in New York for a medical conference and wanted to reconnect with her older brother but Sienna never expected to see Michael Tyler, the man who stole her heart years before. With both in need of a much deserved vacation, Michael and Sienna agree on two weeks together, two weeks in which Michael makes good on everything on Sienna’s bucket wish of things to do. Reconnecting with one another opened their eyes and their heart to a possible future but bad news from home sends Sienna into a spiral, a spiral that Michael cannot fix. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Michael and Sienna as our couple must navigate two successful careers, burgeoning friendships, and a love that has crossed more then twenty-three years.
The relationship between Michael and Sienna is a second chance, rekindling romance in which neither has forgotten the one that got away but Michael knew Sienna was too young, and our hero had yet to become the successful agent he is today. Sienna’s heart broke the day Michael Tyler walked out of her life but two weeks together only proved the heart still wanted what it lost years before. Neither one had married or started a family, and the next chapter of both of their lives was about to begin. Michael knows their time together is coming to a close but our hero is hoping for something more. There are no $ex scenes, everything is implied.
The secondary and supporting characters include most of the members of the band Shaughnessy; Mick’s assistant Lynn; Sienna’s brother Jason, and her best friend Professor Eleanor Stefani.
ONE MORE CHANCE is a story second chances, lost love, family and friendships, and a happily ever after. The premise is emotional and engaging; the romance is passionate and dream-worthy; the characters are energetic and fun. ONE MORE CHANCE is a heart warming and captivating story of eternal love.
4 1/2 Stars for this second chance romance!
This is a sweet romance that tugged at my heartstrings. The chemistry between Mick and Sienna is off the charts ... my iPad almost melted. But, if Mick had such strong feelings for Sienna, I can't believe that he didn't even try to contact her in 23 years. But he was so taken with her when they were older that I forgave him. Maybe they wouldn't have even worked when they were young. This is a great addition to the series.
Mick left home when he was 19 to follow his dream of finding musical talent and help them become famous. But he left Sienna behind because she was only 16 and he wanted her to follow her own dreams. Twenty-three years later they accidentally meet in New York and all those old feelings come rushing back ... only stronger. Sienna is only in New York for 2 weeks ... will that be enough time to scratch the itch? Or will they want a lifetime together?
