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.

Critic reviews

“This is a really sexy book, and I loved the heroine’s journey to find herself and grow strong. Highly recommend this one.” (USA Today)

“This book has it all...romance, fabulously written heat, family, friendship, heartbreak, longing, hope, and an ending that is completely satisfying.” (Bookish Temptations)

"Young’s voice is riveting.... This book definitely landed on my 2012 top picks!” (Fiction Vixen)

Looooong

I really liked the narration. The Scottish accent was amazing, and she did a great job giving characters different voices.

I felt like this story was about 3 hours too long. The story itself was good, but I started skipping parts towards the end because it was so long.

I also have to disagree with the other reviewers: while Braden is a decent guy, he’s certainly not the best book boyfriend ever - and he’s not perfect.

Those things aside, I liked the story itself and the narrator was pretty great. I probably won’t listen to it again, but I was able to finish it so I won’t return it.

Best romantic book of my life.

Not a single complaint amazing writing every character has so much to offer i love it so much i am really surprised. wow!!!

Beautiful Story

I loved this book. Samantha Young created a character that I could see myself being friends with. Paula Costello brought Joss to life. I heard the snarky, sweet, vulnerability of Joss in the narration. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes a good story.

Bravo!

First my hat goes off to Paula Costello for such an amazing read narrating so many different characters with ease and finesse. I’m typically partial to novels with male and female narrators and I was nervous especially considering the male character was Scottish and the female was American. But Costello was a delight to listen to and I honestly couldn’t stop listening to this book. That is probably in great part to Samantha Young’s incredible story. It moved at a perfect pace the character relationships were believable and you felt invested. It wasn’t necessarily predictable and there were lots of great surprises. This book was absolutely delightful and it makes me want to actually read it myself. Bravo!

Excellent storyline and perfect narration!

For any romance-loving, Scottish fans out there this is the book for you! In depth character development, intriguing and interesting storyline, steamy bedroom scenes with witty and catchy dialogue to keep you glued til the end. Family bonds, loss, relationships, friendship, life’s obstacles and how the power of love binds us all together and guides us through.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really loved this book. It was a great journey through Joss’s life of loss and learning to love again. I laughed at her internal conversations and cried through her pain. The passion between her and Brayden didn’t hurt either. 😉

The narration of this book was fantastic. Sometimes I worry with one narrator, but Paula hit it out of the park. She has one amazing Scottish accent!

I bought this during an Audible sale and am so glad I took the plunge. It was a great book. ❤️

All the Feels!

I can’t tell you how many times I have read this book. Joss and Brayden’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful. It’s a story of two strong willed deeply caring people who fight so hard for those the love. One does it by not showing they care, walls up and the other shows it by breaking the walls down.

It’s a story of learning the past is the past and when you find the one that is yours the future is endless!

On my TBR for to long.

Wow this was an amazing story. A very feisty FMC. I listened to this book an the narrator did a superb job.

Finished in one day!

All I can say is...I finished this book in one day! Sexy, Emotional, Steamy, Heart breaking, Tragic, Hot, Possessive....rollercoaster ride that you must BUY!!!

Enjoyable Read

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The main character had lots of baggage and while it did weigh heavy, it didn't overwhelm. There were some unbelievable and impractical plot twists, but overall this was a very sweet story, full of sympathetic characters. I thought the narrator did a very good job. She managed both the American and Scots accents well.
