THIS IS OUR SONG is the fourth book in the Shaughnessy Brothers series by Samantha Chase, and as usual, it's a refreshing, heartwarming story about the meaning of family. It's a story showing how the loss of a mother effects each family member's life and the course that their choices takes them. I find this series so refreshing because of the way Samantha Chase delves emotionally into each character. She does a wonderful job in showing how these adult children, along with their father, discover the extent of losing their mother at a young age affected all of them in different ways.

Riley Shaughnessy knew from a young age that singing was something he loved to do, especially with his mother. So in order to stand out in his big family he set out to become famous as a musician. So he followed that dream and became a famous rock star. After his success with his band he decides to go solo. His problem is that he is having difficulty trying to complete his first solo album due to writer's block. He has a deadline and has been given an ultimatum. He has to work with an entertainment reporter doing a story about his life. This particular reporter is not impressed with his fame.

Savannah Daly is not happy with her assignment of following around a "pretty-boy" rock star. She already has her own preconceived perceptions about entertainers. But once she spends time with Riley and his family she sees a different side to him that changes her opinion. Riley and Savannah discover feelings that neither of them were expecting and find themselves glued to each other. But that relationship is threatened when a past "unintentional" incident changes everything.

Riley and Savannah will both learn some valuable lessons about themselves and how they view life and the choices they make in THIS IS OUR SONG.

Shaughnessy Brothers is a wonderful family oriented series about how they each support one another and provide sage advice. I am looking forward to reading Owen's story and hopefully one also for Darcy. A really great series!!!!
