In Case You Didn't Know by Samantha Chase is the third book in the Magnolia Sound series. I have loved every book in the series. I always feel like I am home for a family reunion and getting caught up with the other characters in the series. I love how Samantha Chase has explored different themes in her stories. In Case You Didn't Know proves that opposites can attract and Samantha Chase has shown that she is a wonderful storyteller regarding of what theme she is choosing to write about. In Case You Didn't Know is the Story of Malcolm Bishop and Scarlett Jones. Malcolm is the son of Georgia and Beau Bishop, one of the wealthiest families in Magnolia Sound. He has finally moved out of his parents' home and has moved into his won apartment. He could no longer take his mother's interference in his life. At a charity concert Malcolm runs into Scarlett Jones, his middle school lab partner who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Malcolm kisses Scarlett and is so blown away from the kiss, that he asks her to meet him after the concert. Scarlett sees Malcolm talking to his sister following the concert and gets the wrong idea, so she turns around to leave. Malcolm sees her in the crowd and runs after her. Things escalate quickly between Malcolm and Scarlett. The unexpected happens and a surprise plot twist throws their romance into a tail spin. Mason received a bar from his great-grandfather in his will and has wondered why his grandfather would leave him such a run down establishment. I love the reasoning behind Zeke's bequeath to Mason. In Case You Didn't Know is filled with the bittersweet moments that I have come to expect from Samantha Chase in this series, as well as her surprise plot twists. I could not put the book down. It was a wonderful story and once again shown that she is an amazing storyteller. I love how Scarlett, the girl from the wrong side of the tracks, is able to change snooty Georgia Bishop. That was totally unexpected. I loved Mason and Scarlett's story, and looking forward to All the Befores.
