ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 16, 2024
He’s the pop superstar dubbed the friendliest celeb alive.
She’s the jaded publicist forced to represent him.
Working together should be impossible.
But the connection they find in each other is…completely indescribable.
Whenever his childhood became too much, Simon Bennett could always find comfort and escape in music. Like any kid, he’d thought about becoming a big star, but he’d never imagined the level of success he’s found. When documentary producers approach him for some behind the scenes footage for his fans, he isn’t prepared for the painful memories they unearth that he’d rather keep quiet. But when you’re known as one of the sweetest guys in the business, no one takes you seriously when you try to push back.
Juliette Bellucci has a reputation for being a strong and confident publicist. Unfortunately, when you keep working with celebrity trainwrecks who make the wrong kind of headlines, that reputation doesn’t mean a whole lot. And with her latest fiasco still in the press, she’s this close to losing her career and everything she’s worked for. Enter Simon Bennett–the quintessential good guy and her chance at redemption. After all, how can working with the nicest guy in the world go wrong?
Nothing about them makes sense, and yet the closer they become, the more they realize they belong together. Keeping their relationship a secret was supposed to keep them out of trouble, but when Simon’s past threatens to destroy his present, everyone is quick to blame Juliette and her bad track record. When the glare of the spotlight disappears, will they realize the indescribable love they share is the foundation to the future they both want?

REVIEW:INDESCRIBABLE LOVE is the second instalment in Samantha Chase’s contemporary, adult WYLDER BROTHERS romance series-a spin off from the author’s THE MONTGOMERY BROTHERS and the BAND ON THE RUNS series. This is lead singer Simon Bennett Wylder, and publicist Juliette Bellucci’s story line. INDESCRIBABLE LOVE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Simon was first introduce in ONE MORE CHANCE /BAND ON THE RUN 4.
Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Simon and Juliette) INDESCRIBABLE LOVE follows publicist Juliette Bellucci as she is tasked with ensuring a documentary about singer Simon Bennett runs smoothly but Juliette’s last few contracts have gone exceedingly wrong, and Simon is her final chance at proving herself worthy of the title she holds. Simon Bennett Wylder does not want to be part of a documentary about his life, and wants strict guidelines regarding information about his past. Meeting publicist Juliette Bellucci stirs something deep within our story line hero but a perceived betrayal pushes Juliette out of his life, leaving Simon stagnating in the ruin of his personal demons. What ensues is the building romance and forbidden relationship between Simon and Juliette, and the potential fall-out when betrayal forces Simon to walk away from the woman he loves.
The world building follows the building relationship between Simon and Juliette, a relationship predicated upon close proximity; an forbidden affair in the face of Juliette’s role in his life. As Simon and Juliette are pulled into one another’s orbit, someone else is determined to take them down. Both Simon and Juliette’s pasts are mired in betrayal and abuse, and in this, they become one another’s faux-therapists in the face of heart break and loss. Juliette is a strong willed and aggressive publicist who is about to face another questionable job.
The relationship between Simon and Juliette is one of immediate attraction but both Simon and Juliette know that to proceed with their attraction could end in a spiral. Living together for the sake of the documentary finds Juliette becoming more than friends with our story line hero, a man who is falling for a woman he will blame for everything spiralling out of control. There are no $ex scenes-everything is implied.
The secondary and supporting characters are energetic and determined: Simon’s management team members: Mick Tyler, Simon’s assistant Nikki and her partner Celia; film producers Max Yearsley and Jacob Ward, and Simon’s father Greg Wylder. We are reintroduced to Simon’s brothers Jax and Noah, who are over protective of their brother. Jax’s story is next.
INDESCRIBABLE LOVE is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and greed, power and control, struggle and recovery, forgiveness and love. The premise is captivating and entertaining; the romance is understated; the characters are charming yet desperate.

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.
