My Favorite Things Event with Samanthe Beck


USA Today bestselling author Samanthe Beck lives in Malibu, California, with her long-suffering husband, their turbo-son, and a furry ninja named Kitty.

When not dreaming up fun, fan-your-cheeks sexy ways to get her characters to happily-ever-after, she searches for the perfect cabernet to pair with Ambien.


My Favorite Things Post from Samanthe Beck

Massive CONGRATULATIONS to Ramblings from this Chick on its 6th anniversary, and thank you to Dani for inviting me to be a part of the celebration! Any list of my favorite things includes Dani and RFTC right at the top, but you can probably guess that much, so let’s dig into some of my favorite things you don’t already know. Just like my underwear drawer, my list is in no particular order.

• A Starbucks Grande Skinny Mocha in my reusable xo heart cup (crown optional):


There is simply no better way to start the morning, unless I can enjoy that toot with…

• My girl Robin Bielman: If you don’t have Robin in your life, you need to! She’s sweet, funny, and an insanely talented writer.


By rights, I should hate her for all the talent, but she’s so sweet and funny, I can’t!

• Wine: Red is my favorite, but I like white for day drinking. (Note pic).


Bubbly for celebrating. Pink bubbly for celebrating my book releases—I’m not sure why—but that’s how I roll. Now, I don’t always drink wine, but when I do, I like to drink it with…

• My girl Hayson Manning: Hayson is good for more than just a drinking buddy. (Though she makes a great one, as I think the picture demonstrates).


She also shops! She writes amazing books! She loves it when I text her pictures like this one below, without any context because I feel the awesomeness speaks for itself. As does hers.


• My upcoming Brazen, Emergency Attraction:

If you’re familiar with the Love Emergency series, you know this is Sinclair’s story. You’ve watched this sassy, capable woman herd tipsy moms, slap some sense into her soon-to-be brother-in-law, and drag a best man twice her size onto the dance floor. Sometimes it seemed like there was nothing Sinclair couldn’t handle, so naturally, I threw Shane into her path. He’s her worst mistake from the past, and she’s determined to keep him in the ‘been there, done that, got the t-shirt’ bucket, but Shane has other ideas! I’d been wanting to write a balls out win-her-back story for a while, and, wouldn’t you know…Shane and Sinclair gave me the perfect opportunity! I hope you enjoy their sexy reunion as much as I did. Emergency Attraction releases April 17th!


I hope 2017 is chocked full of your favorite things. I also hope to add to your lists, by giving away a (rare!) print copy of Emergency Attraction!



The biggest mistake of her past is back...

Ten years ago when Shane Maguire chose the Marines as his escape from some trouble of his own making, he only regretted one thing—leaving Sinclair Smith behind. Despite his best intentions, she ended up as the one that got away. Now he’s back, determined to reclaim everything he gave up, including Sinclair.

Sinclair is immune to Shane’s charms. She’s immune to stolen kisses behind the gym. And she’s definitely immune to that maneuver he did in the back seat of his car… Okay, maybe her hormones are susceptible, but she has absolutely no desire to risk anything on the bad boy who broke all his promises.

When a little emergency lands her at his mercy, he offers her a deal she can’t refuse. And this time, she’ll show Shane what it means to be left wanting…

    1. Wow! Thank you Megan! I wrote the epilogue especially for readers who followed the whole series. (Plus it was a kick to check in on Beau, Savannah, Hunter & Madison...and all the kids. Babies are adorable when you can get one of your heroes to deal with the dirty diaper).

    1. Hi Lilah! Funny you should mention the Chateau St. Michelle Riesling, because that pic was taken at The Cheesecake Factory and I'm pretty sure that's what I was drinking.It was definitely a Riesling.

      It would be hard to pick a fave, but if I had to do it, I'd reach all the way up to the top shelf at the grocery store and grab the Frog's Leap cab.

      Good luck in the giveaway!

  6. I would like to ask Samanthe how long she thinks the demand for erotic/sexy novels will last? Will the demand decrease or is the cat out of the bag!?

    1. Hmm. Good question! I love depicting the sexy interactions between my characters, because for me, that's part of the excitement of the relationship. But no amount of sexytimes, no matter how inventive, will sustain a story or satisfy a reader if I'm not giving her characters she can invest in, and a plot worthy of her attention.

      Sooo...I guess I hope readers remain drawn to the hotter end of the spectrum, because that's how I tend to write, but I also hope they finish my books feeling like they read a fun, emotionally satisfying romance, (that just happened to feature some thoroughly naughty smut)!

    1. Hey Lisa!

      Oooh. Another good question! I don't plan a story around events in my life, but Samlife leaks onto the pages in little ways.

      My heroine in Emergency Attraction is a jewelry designer. I wish I could say all of Sinclair's jewelry was really just me describing my own collection, but alas...no.

      The barn Sinclair calls home, however, was based on a beautiful house I was lucky enough to spent time in as part of a fundraiser for my son's school.

      As for the rest...all names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent.😉
