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.

Sequel!?

It felt like I was in Scotland and going through everything with all of the characters. Definite laugh out loud moments! A story very well written and the narrator’s ability to fluidly transition between American and Scottish accents made this a story I didn’t want to end. Is there a sequel in the future?? I hope so!!

Totally Awesome Read!!

Where does On Dublin Street rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is by far one of the better books I have listened to!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Of course my favorite character was Joss. I loved how Paula Costello really fell into the character. Her narrating is so amazing you feel like you know the character.

What about Paula Costello’s performance did you like?

Again, amazing. She is truly incredible. Her voice is so versatile. She was able to transform into the sexy Brayden with the raspy Scottish accent then go straight into the meek voice of Elli. She is a true talent, I would listen to any book she narrated!

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

It made me do both. It made me blush in the romantic moments. In the end it made me cry so many times, their love story is truly remarkable. I love how Brayden fought for Joss.

Love it , great book !!!!!!!!!!!!

Any additional comments?

OMGoodness!!

Paula Costello Scottish male voice!!! Swoon worthy! Must read!!! I couldn’t stop listening to it!

a little repetitive

me, the narration was definitely too masculine for the role she was meant to be playing, and the book was a bit repetitive.

Definitely holds your attention!

Very well written and believably realistic. Just wish the narrative had a man and a woman. The woman’s voice for the male speaking parts is difficult to listen to.

Hot Steamy Sex in Ireland!

This was the sexiest book I’ve ever listened to. The storyline included a few other characters, not too many to get to really know. All were likable. This was an unexpectedly fun & sexy book. I really enjoyed it!
