Publisher's summary

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.

Oh-my-wow - I absolutely love Braden Carmichael!

What made the experience of listening to On Dublin Street the most enjoyable?

Everything. I LOVE the story but Paula does a fabulous job narrating it - possibly one of my top 3 audio books ever. I would listen to Paula read the dictionary if she did it in Braden's voice.

What other book might you compare On Dublin Street to and why?

I hate comparing - if you love angsty romances, you will love On Dublin Street.

Everything. But especially Braden's voice/accent. She did a fantastic job.

On Dublin Street

Very cute story. Loved Braden's determination to keep Jocelyn. She is stubborn to remain in her box, hiding from her memories of her post family. He does tend to have some caveman tendencies, but his love for Jocelyn keeps him from giving up. Terrific narration.

Lovely, Sexy, Real

What did you like best about this story?

I thought the story was really well written. I was captivated and could not stop listening. Braden was perfectly imperfect and I loved that about him. I get so wrapped up in these stories b/c the lack of... but I loved that even with his own issues he broke down Joss' wall brick by brick.

A Great Love Story

On Dublin Street has everything a good romance should have...believable characters...a story line that keeps you interested...awesome love scenes...a happy ending. The narrator was perfect especially considering all the different accents. I have an affinity for Scotland which only made the story more pleasurable. Well worth a credit.

ok.

Good story except Joss went on with her problem way too long. She could have given it up a little sooner.

Paula Costello is so good!

This was a 3.5 star listen for me. I think the problem was the hype was so high my expectations were through the roof. I really did like this book, my biggest issue was with the heroine near the end with the conflict. It started to not make sense after awhile.

But this book was still so good. My favorite kind of passion was in this. The kind where you are so angry or jealous that you just have to rip each others clothes off. I love the kind of sex where you just can't wait and you have to just put it in. This was that sooooo many times. I love that kind of sexy times. Thank you for that.

I love Paula Costello she is such an underrated narrator. She does such a good job though. I also loved the internal struggle and the losses that the heroine had. She was a very flawed heroine, but she had a journey she needed to go through. I also love how the hero Brayden never once waivered. He just knew it would be her and did what had to be done to make it happen. Slow and steady wins the race.
