Review: On Dublin Street (On Dublin Street #1) by Samantha Young

Goodreads blurb:

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.


When I finished reading this book I was only certain of one thing, this was one of the best books I ever read. I couldn't stop reading it, I felt so connected with Jocelyn that during the entire book my heart was just a mess.

Jocelyn had the perfect life until she lost everything, her home, her family and everything she ever knew. This book is the proof that you should enjoy every moment in your life like it was the last one, because everything can change in one simple second.

Jocelyn is a very special person but she is very hurt. After leaving Virginia she focus on college and in her only two friends, Rich and James who she shares an apartment with. When the time comes for her friends to start a life together in a new place, Jocelyn has to find a new apartment for her. She finds the perfect place on Dublin Street where she meets Braden.

Braden, what to say about him? He is the guy who can take your breath away. He is captivating, provocative and sexy as hell. He never gives up what he wants and he wants Jocelyn. But he is also adorable, sweet, kind and he helps Jocelyn like anyone ever did.

Braden tries to make Jocelyn trust him, but she built too many walls to protect herself and thinking about loving another person again is too hard for her because she doesn't want to lose a person that she loves again. She believes that everyone that she loves ends up dying and is better if she just stays away from everyone.

I loved every bit of this book. It was so frustrating, I couldn't stop reading. I could say so many things about this book, just writing about it brings so many emotions. Anger, frustration, sadness, happiness. Because everything ended up well but they had to go through so many things to get to their happy ending.

This book deserves five big hearts. I recommend reading it, you will not be disappointed. This is one of my favorite books and I can’t way to read Down London Road.
