Book Review: On Dublin Street by Samantha Young

 

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.

My thoughts:

I think this book popped up on Amazon for me, you know, those who bought Fifty Shades of Grey also bought...

So I decided to give it a shot.  Plus I love Scottish boys. The only thing that was a little strange for me was that the lead male character is named Braden, and that is my son's name, and it was a little weird. At times. Like during the sex scenes.  Oy.

If you are looking for something to read after reading Fifty Shades of Grey or Bared to You, this would be the one. It is a love story, with lots of sex, a female character with some issues from her past,  and a rich guy who pursues her.  Basically the same formula. Not bad, but not great either. What is different about this one is that is a stand-alone; everything is tied up nicely, no sequel.

I'm not sure if I can highly recommend, but if you are looking for some spice, this might fit the bill.
