    "Surprisingly good read!"

    This was such a great book! The narrator's voice was a little annoying initially but she did an awesome Irish accent especially for the main male character, whom I wanted to magically appear in real life because he seemed kinda scrumptious ...I'm just saying. Good storyline for the most part, fairly realistic, great sex scenes. I just fell in love with the characters and would love another Dublin st book!

    "One depressing turn after another"

    Some how the depressing toll of this book was NOT conveyed well as I was reading other's opinions! SO let me be clear. This book is about a really screwed up girl who keeps messing up a good relationship with one psycho freak out after another.

    I swear, when there was only an hour left of the book we were STILL in her 6th throw of major freak-out catastrophe. I read books to escape from all the horribles of the world. This book, oh its about all of those different awful horribles.

    I was even FAST FORWARDING to just get through it- knowing that it had to end well. But p.a.i.n.f.u.l to get through. needless to say, i won't be re-reading this one.

    Although, I must say- Good writing, great narration, BUT if psycho girls with too-good-for-life-ever-so-patient-guys is your thing- then have at it. I will be promptly returning to SEP/Lisa Kleypas/KMM right now.

    "One of my new favorite books"

    I love the witty banter between Braden and Jocelyn. I enjoyed listening to Jocelyn's story of overcoming her avoidance to establishing relationships. It was told very well, with humor and realism. The narrator added much to the experience of reading the book for me. I like stories told in the first person to make it feel your really listening to Jocelyn's story firsthand.

    "The BEST!"

    Hands down the BEST Audiobook and BEST narrator I have heard all year... maybe EVER. I highly recommend this, worth not only a credit, I would have paid full price! Can't wait to hear another by this author.

    "Pretty Hot Listen!"

    For the genre, this is a pretty good listen. The narrator did a very good job of getting the accents down and not making the male characters sound bizarre by trying to emulate a deeper voice. She can seem a little dead-pan at first but then it really lends itself to the main character so stick with it. The sexual tension between Jocelyn and Braden makes for some good listening. The description of their sex scenes is definitely hot. It was starting to get a little annoying with her lack of evolvement about 3/4 of the way through the novel but then it picks up. I definitely recommend this book, it's a good, hot listen!

    "Killer Scottish Accent!"
    Any additional comments?

    This was a good story, made great by the wonderful voices and accents in the Audible version. Paula Costello's Braden voice was perfect for a guy who is supposed to be Mr. Hotness. Her Joss had just the right amount of feisty and sexy, and her Ellie was as sweet as she came across during the reading. I usually select my books based on storyline, but Paula is one of the few narrators who might tempt me to buy an Audible book on the strength of her performance. I look forward to more from her.

    "Hard to Get Through and very predictable"

    The story is good. I believe with a different narrator, it would have been much better. I found the narration flat which made me not like the character. A good narrator sells the story. However, this is my opinion. The story was ok. I didn't have much empathy for the main character.

    ""5 Stars of Course!!!!""
    Any additional comments?

    As if there was any doubt I would be adding a new book to my favorites shelf it is truly gone now.... LOVED it!!! Cam and Jo are just awesome ... so sad in places but so sweet and "hello" HOT!!!! We also got to catch up with some of our other Dublin St. friends the amazing Joss, Braden, Ellie and sneak peaks from the rest! Gosh I hope this is a long sweet series... can't wait for book #3!!! My favorite quote from the book I think anyway ... lots of great ones!“You know, the world will always try to make you into who it wants you to be. People, time, events, they’ll all try to carve away at you and make you think you don’t know who you are. But it doesn’t matter who they try to make you, or what name they try to give you. If you stay true, you can chip off all their machinations and you’re still you underneath it all. Be Caledonia..."

    The audio performance was great but the accent was a bit thick in places and hard to understand I had to slow the speed down on my kindle so I could hear it correctly. The story is fantastic though!

    "Great story line! Favorite book of the year!"
    Would you consider the audio edition of On Dublin Street to be better than the print version?

    Yes! The narrator is amazing with accents! She draws you into the story! I listened to the first 8 hours in one evening because I couldn't stop listening!


    What did you like best about this story?

    The story line was deep and really makes you care about the characters. I really like the accents and the love aspect! Just a great listen.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Laugh and cry! The main character is witty which cracks me up, but there are parts of the book that make me cry.


    Any additional comments?

    Love it! I rank it right up there with 50 Shades, maybe even better!
