A review by kippins
On Dublin Street by Samantha Young
5.0
4.5 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this & it was exactly what I needed after reading three really hard going books emotionally before this. If I get butterflies the first time the characters kiss then I know I am into a winner :)
I liked that Joss's issue's weren't just sorted out and how they were ongoing, I found this to be more true to life. And aside from her issue's I really liked her.
I also loved that the author didn't overdo the Scottish accent, as a Celt myself it can actually put me off reading a book cause I keep thinking.....hang on, I don't speak like that!
And Braden....oh Braden. Who wouldn't want this awesome guy fighting your corner.
There were some real laugh out loud moments for me in this which just really added to the story and made the relationship more realistic. I find with some romance's the angst & sex just takes over & starts to get repetitive and push's the book too far away from reality. People are actually supposed to have fun with each other & actually enjoy each others company outside of the bedroom!
The surrounding characters such as Ellie & Adam were really great & definitely made the story for me.
Overall a great read & one I will definitely re-read some day :)
