Down London Road

De: Samantha Young

Narrado por: Elle Newlands

A woman used to taking charge is about to meet a man who'll make her lose control in this novel from the New York Times bestselling author of On Dublin Street.

It has always been up to Johanna to care for her family, particularly her younger brother, Cole. With an absent father and a useless mother, she’s been making decisions based on what’s best for Cole for as long as she can remember. She even determines what men to date by how much they can provide for her brother and her, not on whatever sparks may—or may not—fly.

But with Cameron MacCabe, the attraction is undeniable. The sexy new bartender at work gives her butterflies every time she looks at him. And for once, Jo is tempted to put her needs first. Cam is just as obsessed with getting to know Jo, but her walls are too solid to let him get close enough to even try.

Then Cam moves into the flat below Jo’s, and their blistering connection becomes impossible to ignore. Especially since Cam is determined to uncover all of Jo’s secrets...even if it means taking apart her defenses piece by piece.

Could Not Put it Down...Will Listen to it Again!

Down London Road is another “can’t put down”, “must listen to again” novel by Samantha Young! Book 2 in the On Dublin Street series does not disappoint.

Samantha Young is such a talent! This is my second book to read by her, after “On Dublin Street”. She masterfully introduces her characters in a way that the reader feels a relationship with each; developing a vested interest in their future, their friends, their family, their loves, their happiness, their struggles and their triumphs. These amazing characters are once again, brought magically to life by Elle Newland.

As is true in her first novel in the series, there is a strong sexual content that is written within the context of the storyline, for mature audiences.

Johanna Walker is rather briefly introduced in the first novel as somewhat of a “gold-digger” interested in men only for what they could give her. She is featured in the second novel and the reader is reintroduced to her, immediately realizing that she is, indeed, remarkable! I don’t want to give to much away…just know going in that you will just love and care for her; and Cameron MacCabe is just what she needs.

Mark your calendars for June 18th when, “Until Fountain Bridge” (an On Dublin Street novella) is to be released by NAL in ebook in the US. This story follows the romance between Ellie Charmicael and Adam Sutherland.

I cannot wait…

Credit Worthy? You’d better believe it!

ANOTHER AMAZING SY LISTEN

If you could sum up Down London Road in three words, what would they be?

Anguishing, suspenseful, romantic

What was one of the most memorable moments of Down London Road?

So as to not disclose any secrets; Cam's anguish and confession to Jo after Blair's overnight visit and also the ending.

Have you listened to any of Elle Newlands’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, "On Dublin Street", she is amazing. I love the accents and Cam's voice was sexy and sultry and oh so heart-gripping when anguished.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Not Sure

Any additional comments?

This was an amazing listen. I laughed, cried, screamed in my head "No - No", emotions stirred deep within me and I sat on the edge of my seat. There were twists and turns that kept things interesting.

I hope that Ms. Young continues to grace us with such emotional prose. Also, one can not help but feel bad for Malcolm, hope he is written, happily, into future books.

Story kept me on my toes!

What did you love best about Down London Road?

I think the character development and the continued interesting sub-stories kept me enthralled and engaged the entire way through. I just couldn't stop listening!

Any additional comments?

The narrator did a great job but the authentic Scottish accent made it difficult at times to understand because there wasn't enough undulation. It seemed as though one word blended into another. Once I got used to it, I had no problem listening to the book.

5 Stars...loved this book

Where does Down London Road rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top of the list. I would say either 1 or 2. It was very well read

What other book might you compare Down London Road to and why?

I would compare it to Tangeled. The narrators voice was excellent. You could feel the pain in her voice and it felt real!

What about Elle Newlands’s performance did you like?

Loved it!

A Gripping, Sensual Love Story

As a follow-up to On Dublin Street, this story delivers satisfaction. I also thought On Dublin Street was a 5-star romance and although Down London Road can stand alone, so many of the characters derive from On Dublin Street, that I recommend listening to it first. If you like On Dublin Street, you'll want to listen to Down London Road. If you don't like it, then at least you won't be missing part of the series foundation.
