On Dublin Street by Samantha Young

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


From Goodreads:Four years ago, Jocelyn Butler left her tragic past behind in the States and started over in Edinburgh. Burying the grief, ignoring her demons, and forging ahead without any real attachments has worked well for her so far but when Joss moves into a fantastic apartment on Dublin Street, her carefully guarded world is shaken to its core by her new roommate's sexy older brother.

Braden Carmichael is a man who always gets what he wants. And what he wants is Jocelyn in his bed. Knowing how skittish Joss is concerning any kind of relationship, Braden proposes a sexual arrangement that should satisfy the intense attraction between them without it developing into anything 'more'. An intrigued Jocelyn agrees, completely unprepared for the Scotsman and his single-minded determination to strip the stubborn young woman bare... to the very soul.


On Dublin Street was FANTASTIC! There's nothing better than reading a book that you have been anticipating, from an author you love, that you just KNOW is going to be good, and having that book surpass all of your expectations! There was a level of emotional depth that I was completely surprised by. Why was I surprised? Seriously I knew Samantha Young was a great author. I've read ALL of her YA books. I am honestly excited that she has dipped into adult fiction. Her writing is awesome and her skills are showcased best so far in this book!
Joss is so emotionally challenged but that only makes her so much more interesting. And Braden? BRADEN! Oh My... he is a sexy, strong-willed, but perfect, character for Joss. His wee sister Ellie, and Joss' roommate, helps tie the two together with her shy, naive, romantic view of love. Joss has some serious demons to deal with and Braden and Ellie are just what she needs! I loved everything about the story and the characters and I can't wait to read more adult fiction by Samantha Young!
