On Dublin Street (On Dublin Street #1)

by Samantha Young

Jocelyn Butler has been hiding from her past for years. But all her secrets are about to be laid bare…

Four years ago, Jocelyn left her tragic past behind in the States and started over in Scotland, burying her grief, ignoring her demons, and forging ahead without attachments. Her solitary life is working well—until she moves into a new apartment on Dublin Street where she meets a man who shakes her carefully guarded world to its core.

Braden Carmichael is used to getting what he wants, and he’s determined to get Jocelyn into his bed. Knowing how skittish she is about entering a relationship, Braden proposes an arrangement that will satisfy their intense attraction without any strings attached.

But after an intrigued Jocelyn accepts, she realizes that Braden won’t be satisfied with just mind-blowing passion. The stubborn Scotsman is intent on truly knowing her… down to the very soul.

5 out of 5 stars

This was so freaking amazing! I'm sorry it took me so long to read it. Right from the beginning I was pulled in. A truly wonderful story. I just couldn't get enough.

I loved Jocelyn and Braden so much. They had such great animosity that made for some great verbal sparing. Excellent chemistry and passion between the two. I loved that pull they had on one another. I loved Joss's story and this emotional journey she went on. It had my emotions all over the place. I loved how her character developed and how all the details of her past were learned. She was so guarded in the beginning and had such true growth throughout, it really pulled at my heart strings. She was just so sweet and caring but she had a lot of feistiness to her as well. I loved that attitude! Braden was equally as wonderful. So loving and cares deeply, just a genuinely good guy. These two together with that animosity they had in the beginning, sparks definitely flew. Together they exploded and had some seriously passionate moments. They also had some lighter fun moments as well and it made it all very entertaining.

The other characters in the story were awesome as well. I loved Ellie and how everything was laid out with what she was going through. I also loved the story with her and Adam and couldn't wait to see if they got together or not.

This story was filled with so much emotion but it was also extremely passionate and had a lot of fun entertaining moments. I loved it! Excellent pace, build, and development. Solid story from beginning to end with likable characters. Great mix of drama and tension mixed in keeping you hooked. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series.

My heart is officially in Dublin Street with my new book boyfriend Braden Carmichael.
