About the book:

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 realises 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.

Review:



On Dublin Street heart wrenching, sexy, exhilarating, addictive and completely unforgettable! Not only did I want to continue reading I felt that I needed to carry on reading! I was undoubtedly lost in the authors grasp with this novel.

There wasn't any wondering if I'll like this book or any thoughts 'when is this scene going to end?' 'cause all I thought about was reading the next page.

Braden and Jocelyn are one of those couples where I literally get frustrated with is something didn't go my way! I also caught myself in tears quite a few times which was so out of the ordinary for me.

I loved everything about all the characters mentioned in this book but very rarely do I find a female character who I can relate to so much or want to end up happy. I absolutely loved Jocelyn's strength, and belief in the end of how much she's learned to cope in her life. It was just astonishing how much I felt for this character.

Braden was not how I thought he was going to be which made me love his character even more. He's amazing, sexy, sensitive, supportive and sounds super H.O.T.! :D

The secondary characters Ellie (Braden's little sister-Jocelyn's housemate) and Adam (Braden's Best-Friend) were also a major part of why I loved this book. They both played an amazing part in the story coming together.

I could have wished for a better ending.... I really couldn't have! Samantha Young is amazing.... her writing is utterly fantastic..
