About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Samantha Young’s On Dublin Street, the hottest new romance best seller.
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.
Incredibly passionate and downright romantic, On Dublin Street is a captivating and bittersweet story of the redemptive power of love.

A Blushing Audio Review
MY THOUGHTS:
It's not an easy romance. However, there’s an emotional connection with the characters you feel almost immediately which is what keeps you intrigued going further into the story.
You cannot help falling in love with Braden, especially if you listen to his accent in the audio version. His witty personality makes for some humorous banter between the pair and acts as a great balance between some of the more serious subject matter.
Joss is a difficult character to connect with as she is so emotionally troubled and detached but given her back story you can certainly empathise with her. She has detached herself from getting too close to people, built walls up to protect herself She learns though that those same walls keep her from having connections, intimacy, hope, joy, and so many other things that make life meaningful.
Braden shows her that she must allow herself to fully feel her pain, open up and talk about it in order to learn how to manage it and begin to heal through it.
“You’re good with the words, I’ll give you that.” Jocelyn
“I’m good with my hands. Will you let me give you that?” Braden
Samantha has a way of capturing a moment, her sex scenes are more emotionally deep then erotic, they are steamy but also suppressed.
I really liked the supporting characters Ellie and Adam, Rhea and would definitely be keen to read more of them. I really enjoyed this book and it’s a first I have read of Samantha Young's. I will definitely be looking into some of her other titles to add to my TBR shelf.

DO I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK?
Yes, who doesn’t love a hot witty Scotsman.
This is a long audio book but very easy to listen to getting caught up in the Scottish accents. Paula did so well transferring from Scottish to American accents and from a male to female voices with ease. She really captured the essence of each character.
This would have been an amazing book for duet narration with a male narrating Braden’s Scottish accent but I still thoroughly enjoyed it regardless.

Ignore the cover. This is a realistic must-read
I kept putting this off as the cover made me think it was a compete snooze-feat but I'm so glad to be wrong!
The performance was great, even with the narrator slipping into a male Scottish lilt.
The story though, had me invested, and that's hard to do. So when things got a bit tough, it was as though it were happening to me! The chemistry between Joss and Brayden is electric and I almost wish it had been drawn out more.
I'll be re-reading (or re-hearing?) this book. Definitely worth it.

Pleasant surprise
I have had this book in my wish list for ages but never read because of the cover - thought it looked like a stuffy read. So glad I tried it as it wasn’t at all. Very enjoyable. Loved the sexy Braden. Worth the credit.

Complex love story with so much tension
Loved these characters, Joss can get frustrating because she is so stubborn and Braden is strong without being OTT dominant, but they work. Oh the chemistry!

Great story and narration
Joss is a great character and it’s wonderful that Braden actually pursues her without being too overbearing
