Book Description
It’s bad enough I have to fly home for a funeral.
Not just any funeral either. My ex’s funeral. Where I have to give the eulogy.
Let’s just say he was an ex for a reason, and I’d much rather write a speech about his flaws than wax poetic about what a great person he was. But I just couldn’t bring myself to say no to his mom when she asked.
So here we are.
I just have to get through the funeral and then it’s a whole month of relaxing on the beach with my oldest friends.
But of course, nothing ever goes according to plan.
Entitled passengers, flight delays, lost luggage. Everything that could wrong went wrong. And I might have had a little too much wine and spilled my entire life story to the man in the seat next to me. The incredibly nice, incredibly sexy man sitting next to me.
It’s a good thing I’ll likely never see him again.
Or so I thought.
The stranger who awkwardly comforts me at my ex’s funeral? Airplane guy.
And I’ll give you one guess about who shows up at the beach house.
Kill. Me. Now.
This was supposed to be a relaxing vacation, but now I have to worry about how attracted I am to a man who knows entirely too much about me and only seems to catch me at my absolute worst.
Or maybe I’ll get lucky and he’ll be into hot messes.

My Thoughts
In her delightful standalone novel, Karma’s a Beach, Samantha Chase delivers a sweet and witty story about love, friendship, compromise, and the funny ways fate—or perhaps karma—intervenes. A perfect beach read from beginning to end, this book captures the heart with an adorable meet-cute that blossoms into a romance that is simply everything.
The story begins with a predicament that is as relatable as it is dreadful. Olivia “Liv” Ashley must fly home for the funeral of her ex-boyfriend, a man she was with for a reason and whose eulogy she’d much rather fill with his flaws than false praise. After a travel day where everything that could possibly go wrong does, a frustrated Liv has a little too much wine and spills her entire life story to the incredibly nice, incredibly sexy man in the seat next to her. It’s a moment of pure mortification, cushioned only by the certainty that she will never see him again.
Or so she thought.
In a twist of fate, the handsome stranger from the plane, Sebastian “Ash,” reappears at the funeral. The coincidences don’t stop there; when Liv arrives at the beach house for a much-needed vacation, she discovers they have mutual friends and are set to spend the next month in close proximity. The attraction that sizzled between them on the plane is undeniable, but Liv is mortified. This is a man who knows far too much about her and has only ever seen her at her absolute worst.
What follows is the charming and heartfelt story of Liv and Ash. Chase masterfully builds their connection from an awkward, unexpected beginning into a deep and meaningful relationship. The story is a testament to the idea that while things are not always perfect, open communication and a genuine desire to understand one another can overcome any obstacle. You can’t help but adore these characters as they navigate their surprising situation, talking through their issues and insecurities with a maturity that makes their bond feel authentic and earned.
Karma’s a Beach is a truly lovely story from start to finish. If you’re looking for a romance filled with humor, warmth, and characters who will steal your heart, this book is a must-read. It’s a beautiful reminder that sometimes, the most chaotic moments can lead to the most wonderful surprises.
