On Loverose Lane

De: Samantha Young

Narrado por: Shane East, Zara Hampton-Brown

Imagine my surprise when my new neighbor turns out to be one of Scotland’s most famous (and hottest) professional footballers, Callan Keen. I’m even more shocked to discover that the brooding player is still holding a grudge for something that happened (or didn’t happen) between us years ago.

Too busy trying to take my social media management company to the next level, I don’t have time for this gorgeous blast from the past. Or at least I shouldn’t. Yet whenever I see him, I can’t help but engage in a battle of wits with the grump upstairs.

When a huge client opportunity arises, circumstances force me to enlist Callan’s help. I require a fake date and Callan needs me to facilitate a meeting with my dad to further his own business interests.

The deal between us should be simple. Except, of course, the blazing chemistry we’ve shared since the moment we met. We can’t deny it, we can’t control it, and soon we’re agreeing to six weeks of no-strings-attached, mind-blowing, steamy shenanigans.

I told myself I was too smart to catch feelings. But when Callan finally finds out the truth about our past, he becomes the guy I used to know. And that man is way too easy to fall for.

The problem is that Callan has vowed to never let another person close enough to break his heart again.

It just might prove impossible to show my stubborn Scotsman I’m worth the risk, especially when old wounds are re-opened and threaten to wreck any chance of a future together…

HOLY CANOLI I ADORED THIS.

⚽️ second chance romance
⚽️ sports romance (soccer)
⚽️ fake dating
⚽️ open door
⚽️ no 3rd Act break-up

Oh man was this book just so damn good!! Callan and Beth, who had a fleeting romance when they were teens, are reunited after 8 years when they realize they are now living in the same apartment building (on Loverose lane ❤️). These two had great banter and obvious chemistry, but once they cleared the air surrounding what broke them apart when they were younger, these two stopped holding back.

There was so much character development, great friendships, some heartbreak, and mending of those broken hearts. I just adored this story and these characters.

Thank you to the author for an e-ARC of this book - all opinions are my own!

Sweet and sexy

A book you can get lost in. The storyline was fun and romantic. Narrators told the story well and the characters were relatable.

Royally Hooked from Start to Finish

From fake dating to enemies to lovers and finally not being able to fake it anymore, this story has everything. It is royally amazing! I loved how their history from high school shaped the way they are with each other now. As they started their fake relationship and she realized she didn’t want to pretend anymore, everything changed.

I didn’t want to stop listening. I was hooked from start to finish. All the anguish, passion, and love were wrapped into one unforgettable story.

excited for the continuation of these characters

I love that we are continuing with the next generation of ODS characters. j like all the callbacks to Joss and Braden's story, but I also didn't like that it was so familiar, almost recycled. I hope this won't be a pattern for the next kids. the narrators were wonderful, though I don't think I ever got used to the female narrator doing the male voice. I'm already looking forward to the next book.

New era, same exceptional writing.

I thought it would be very difficult to start a new era of on Dublin street and stand alone and be good but Samantha Young did it. It felt different from on Dublin street but with the same vibe. I’m looking forward to the next book on this series. Great dual POV narration.
