As soon as On Loverose Lane landed on my Kindle, I was lost to it. I loved these characters, their growth, and all the emotion and heart. I love a book that makes me feel and this one did just that. It was everything!
On Loverose Lane (Return to Dublin Street #1) by Samantha Young
Too busy trying to take my social media management company to the next level, I don’t have time for this gorgeous blast from the past. Or at least I shouldn’t. Yet whenever I see him, I can’t help but engage in a battle of wits with the grump upstairs.
When a huge client opportunity arises, circumstances force me to enlist Callan’s help. I require a fake date and Callan needs me to facilitate a meeting with my dad to further his own business interests.
The deal between us should be simple. Except, of course, the blazing chemistry we’ve shared since the moment we met. We can’t deny it, we can’t control it, and soon we’re agreeing to six weeks of no-strings-attached, mind-blowing, steamy shenanigans.
I told myself I was too smart to catch feelings. But when Callan finally finds out the truth about our past, he becomes the guy I used to know. And that man is way too easy to fall for.
The problem is that Callan has vowed to never let another person close enough to break his heart again.
It just might prove impossible to show my stubborn Scotsman I’m worth the risk, especially when old wounds are re-opened and threaten to wreck any chance of a future together…
The #1 International bestselling author is back with this emotional and steamy sports romance in which ambitious entrepreneur, Beth Carmichael, meets her match in the grumpy football captain who moves into the apartment above hers.
5 out of 5 stars
I absolutely LOVED On Loverose Lane. The
banter, the flirting, all the emotion, love, and passion… everything all
together made it a phenomenal story with an incredible build. I adored these
characters and hung on every word as they went through their ups and downs. I
loved watching their feelings grow as they fell in love. It was an epic story
with an amazing happily ever after.
I loved Beth and Callan’s first interaction in the present day
and the animosity between them that created witty and snarky banter. He's
grumpy and gruff and she's cheery sunshine with spot-on comebacks. It was
awesome! Certain circumstances created a fake dating situation for them and
together, they were everything! They were sweet and flirty and the sexual
tension and chemistry that was building between them was off the charts. The
heat was explosive, Callan could have a dirty mouth and it was super hot. It
was fun too with a lot of entertaining scenes mixed
in. I loved how they really got to know each other and slowly started to peel
back their layers and be vulnerable. I loved Beth opening up about her struggles and how Callan was there for her, there were a lot of
poignant moments related to it. I loved how Beth was there for Callan when it came to his past and dealing with his father. I loved watching Callan figure
out his feelings and couldn't wait until he got to that moment where everything
clicked for him. This was filled with so much emotion and heartache, at times
it was like I couldn't breathe.
I adored Beth’s family. I loved seeing her parents, Joss and
Braden from On Dublin Street, and the updates about them, their friends,
and found family. I loved all the characters introduced, Beth’s siblings and
pseudo-cousins, and hope to see them again. I couldn't get enough of Callan’s
friends and teammates and loved the camaraderie they all had. I am really
excited about where this series will go.
This story was emotional and drama-filled but also sweet and
heartfelt. I loved the development and pace and felt pulled in the entire time.
It had me hooked from beginning to end... and that ending had me in an absolute
chokehold! I love a story where I feel like I'm right there with the
characters, feeling it all, and On Loverose Lane gave me that. This is a
must-read for sure!
Complimentary copy received.
