Publisher's summary

In the New York Times bestselling novel On Dublin Street, Joss and Braden fought for their happily ever after. Now, in a romantic new novella, they'll discover what comes after the happy ending…

Braden Carmichael never imagined he'd fall as hard and as fast as he did for Jocelyn Butler. He also could not have anticipated how difficult it would be to convince her to give in to love. But now that he has her, he's never letting go. He's got it all planned - the passionate proposal, the dream wedding, the sexy Hawaiian honeymoon - even the perfect family they'll start.

After trying to flee from her painful past, Joss is finally allowing herself to embrace the future. But when things start moving faster than she anticipated, she finds herself panicking over something Braden can't understand. After everything they've been through, Joss is sure that their love can survive even her worst fears. But, this time, she may push Braden too far - and risk losing everything all over again…

Includes previews of Down London Road, Until Fountain Bridge, and Before Jamaica Lane

Very short story

I loved on Dublin st, so I couldn't wait to listen to this book. Cute, but not worth 17.00:(

A TRIBUTE TO FANS! EXCELLENT!!!

This novella was so well executed! Sometimes, authors want to provide readers with a little more of the characters they loved so much, but many times these projects fall flat. However, this book made me feel all of the emotions I felt with Braden & Jocelyn's original story in "On Dublin Street."

The novella starts out so smooth and just enjoyable. There's a comfort level in reading and you feel like you're on cruise control. The proposal was adorable & so romantic! I also liked how Joss was coming around in her attire---there's mention of pencil skirts, sun dresses, 4-inch heels---NICE!--Very feminine Joss!

The wedding was just beautiful and I could not stop tearing up during the toasts, especially Braden's to his bride. It made me see the romance through his eyes. I loved the cute games Braden and Joss engage in…very teasing and super hot! Oh, & the honeymoon was sumptuous and had some good measure of love & war. OMG, but right when you think you are safe and this is going to be an easy read---BAM!-There is this emotional draw and I felt so angry, sad and just wanted to punch someone!!! But, thankfully, the resolution was beautiful between the two, and everything was perfect again. I love the commitment and insatiable need Braden & Jocelyn share. There is an emotional depth between the two that make their romance so compelling and lovely.

This book is just shear lush, and such a gift to fans and those who count Braden & Jocelyn among their favorite insatiable couples.

Only on the "Hill"

I accidentally ran upon this after reading most of the books from this series. Once again I can't say enough about these books. Don't leave this one out. Loved being close to this two once again.

Too short but great.

I have really come to enjoy these characters and the performances, and appreciate the Novellas as they allow us to continue to look into the lives of the characters. Hopefully there will be more stories about these two that started it all.

3.5 Stars

Castle Hill by Samantha Young (Audio Edition)
Narrated by Paula Costello
On Dublin Street Series #3.5

♥ ♥ ♥ ½ This book was pretty good. You kinda already know what's happened between Joss and Braden, if you have read Before Jamaica Lane. However it explains the details that we didn't get to see. There is lots of sex scenes (it's their honeymoon after all). I liked seeing a bit of the behind the scenes for the proposal and Jocelyn’s views on the honeymoon and kids.

This continues to be a well written series.
