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.
**********************************************
From their first meeting in a cab, there was just something
about Jocelyn that had Braden intrigued.
He has been hurt in the past, and it is hard for him to
completely trust the person he is with. But when he is with Jocelyn, he lets
her in little by little. Revealing more of himself in the process. Jocelyn has
major issues herself. She never wants anyone to get too close to her. She tries
to shut herself out from caring about people too much. This is why she believes
their friends with ‘benefits’ relationship will work perfectly. No messing
emotions to deal with. Easier said than done…
To me it seemed like he wanted to have a real relationship with
her from the beginning. But because she did not, he was willing to make a deal
they both would be happy with. He was a little sneaky in his attempts to ‘date’
her and get to know more about her life, which I thought was cute.
Of course it does not take very long for Jocelyn to realize that
she actually cares for Braden; a fact that scares her. And she begins to
question if it really is better to keep people at a distance.
What I liked:
I loved Braden. I think he is going on my book boyfriends list
because I liked him so much. He is a great alpha hero. He speaks his mind, is
determined, and very sexy….
Final thoughts:
I don’t know why I waited so long to read this book. Seriously.
I bought it when practically everyone I knew was raving about it, and it just
set there on my virtual shelf collecting dust. Finally I was in the mood for a
little romance and On Dublin Street did not disappoint. It had just the right
amount of drama, angst, and steamy romance to keep me turning pages. I loved
it.
