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.

Smart & Sexy

I can't say enough good things about this book. I loved everything about it! The writing is smart and witty, and I couldn't believe how fast the story drew me in. The characters are so well developed and real...you cant help but love them. I pretty much wanted to listen to this book non-stop until it was done. The story was interesting and complex...not to mention HOT! The story progressed at the right pace with relatively little angst, which I appreciate. Paula Costello did an amazing job with the accents. She should definitely be narrating more; I can think of of few books that her narration could have saved. She is that good! This was my first book by Samantha Young, but it won't be my last. Definitely worth the credit!

Cheesy as hell, but you can't stop listening

This is a romance with a bunch of steamy sex scenes. The story is pretty obvious. Yet I couldn't stop listening. If you're a romantic at heart and you enjoy cheesy and bits that make you think you'd like to have sex now too, then this is for you!

4.5 Stars - Great start to the series!

4.5 Stars - I really enjoyed this book! It kept me up late listening and when I couldn’t listen I was thinking about listening. Braden comes across as a charming, bossy, arrogant, and a bit of a jealous guy, who, when he wants something, he gets it. Now don’t get me wrong.. Some of those sound like bad traits, but he pulled them off.. Though he also had moments where he seemed almost unreasonably controlling. So much so that if a guy had said that to me.. I would just tell him to take a hike! Thankfully most of those moments were met by a spunky Jocelyn who called him on it. She was strong, funny and other than her unwillingness to let people in, I really liked her. Sometimes her attitude made her seem immature or even cowardly, but it wasn’t so much that I was rolling my eyes or anything and really was the base of the story, so I understand.

I have never read Samantha Young before and I really am looking forward to the rest of this series! Paula Costello did a fantastic job narrating, honestly I think it made the book even better for me as I loved her Scottish accent! So happy I stumbled upon a random recommendation to this series!

❤❤❤ this story...

Recommended if your into a hot alpha male who knows what he wants and is willing to go after what he wants. Joss, the heroine has her issues and personal baggage but she's not the type that would let anyone walk all over her. She knows when to stand up for herself and is able to recognize and apologize when and if she has behaved very badly.

There is also a good character development not just on the main characters but also to some of the minor characters.

Overall I really enjoyed the story.
