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.

Holy Scottish Accent! Now I want a Hot Scot!

Any additional comments?

Holy smokes, I wish there were more books like this that Paula Costello could narrate. Geesh, I forgot she was a woman when she put on her Scottish accent....it was soooo hot.

Don't think twice, click that little button and put it in your cart. You won't regret it.
You'll thank me later!

Oh so good!

Do yourself a favor and just get the book. The story was soooooooooo good and probably one of the BEST narrations I've heard in an audio book. Well done you!

Lovely and touching

Would you consider the audio edition of On Dublin Street to be better than the print version?

Almost. Loved the Irish accents.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Loved them all.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she came out of the bathroom naked.

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

Even tough girls have hearts that can break.

Real, raw, and sexy as hell

This book is great. It's a romance, yes, but it is contemporary, and true to the hardships of life and the irrational coping mechanisms we humans sometimes use.
Joss' journey into dealing with the loss of her family as a teen is triggered when she meets hot businessman Braden, who challenges her to remember, feel, and face reality. She's screwed up, but caring at heart, and the emotional roller coaster sucks you in from beginning to end. Paula Costello does a great job with the accents, and I couldn't stop listening! HIGHLY recommended!

Sexy Alpha Scot? I'm going to Scotland!

Any additional comments?

4 1/2 STARS!

Loved ON DUBLIN STREET, why did I wait so long to read it? Hello, sexy, possessive Scottish hero, just what I love! :)

The narrator's Scottish voices were great. But the voice used for Joss annoyed me at times, and I had a hard time telling the difference between things she said out loud and things she mused about in her head. Still, Paula Costello did a good job with the book, and I was happy to listen while walking the dogs.

I'll admit that Joss made me frustrated at times, as she struggled to come to terms with her past and issues, but I couldn't stay mad at her completely, as I realize she went through a lot. I'm just glad that she did let Ellie, and then Braden, in to her life. And Braden -- well, he was great, if at times very intense. No complaints there, though!

In fact, I think it's time for me to pack up and move to Scotland, find my own Braden. :) I'll definitely be coming back for the rest of this series, I enjoyed the rest of Braden's family and the secondary characters.

Killer Scottish Accent!

Any additional comments?

This was a good story, made great by the wonderful voices and accents in the Audible version. Paula Costello's Braden voice was perfect for a guy who is supposed to be Mr. Hotness. Her Joss had just the right amount of feisty and sexy, and her Ellie was as sweet as she came across during the reading. I usually select my books based on storyline, but Paula is one of the few narrators who might tempt me to buy an Audible book on the strength of her performance. I look forward to more from her.

Mmm....Yes.

This was cute! I enjoy the narrator's Scottish accent. She did a great job of capturing the characters. I also enjoyed the depth of these characters. Joss was a little too abrasive at times but overall I liked the story.

VT. FAN

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Why? Besides the fact that it is a well written contemporary romance, but the narrator was so good that I went looking for other audiobooks that she has done and was surprised to discover that this was her first and only one.

What did you like best about this story?

Even though I am not a fan of contemporary romance there was nothing about this audiobook that I did not like.

What does Paula Costello bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Ms. Costello did all voices perfectly both male and female and the Scottish accents were great. I was so impressed with her but could not find anything else by her. I m sure that will change. If only Ms. Costello had been the narrator for all the "Fifty Shades of Grey" books so many people would not have been so disappointed in the narration of them me included she would have been perfect.

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

Before listening to this book have your airline ticket to Edingurgh ready cause you will want to go.

Great book.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I'd recommend this book. Loved the story and the narrator!

What does Paula Costello bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She just made the book! Loved her accent!
