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. Jocelyn soon 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...

A great trip back to Dublin Street

It's been yonky donks since I read On Dublin Street and I forgot how wonderful this story was. Sure, it makes me cry and even get a wee bit cranky but it also makes me wear a goofy grin and sigh with contentment too. Both Jocelyn and Braden have faced their own versions of heartbreak in the past and have put barriers in place to make sure they don't face that sort of pain again. But, like all good love stories, the heart wants what the heart desires so no barrier will stop them coming together.

Paula Costello, the narrator does an amazing job and was brilliantly cast for this narration. Her accents were spot on (I think) and she sounded the right age too, to match Jocelyn's character age.

I loved the characters, the storyline kept me enthralled, the romance, while it had its bumps, still seemed believable, and the narration was very easy to listen to. I highly recommend giving On Dublin Street a try.
