Their conversation was funny and right away we get a sense of who they are. Jocelyn is in search of a new flat and roommate after graduation and is on her way to visit a place on Dublin Street when she hails a cab and ends up sharing it with Braden Carmichael. The tale takes place primarily in Scotland after a brief prologue that gives us a strong sense of Jocelyn Butler’s background.

On Dublin Street was in my TBR pile for a good four months before I dug it out for the Take Control challenge in March and I am glad it is one of the books I selected.

Braden Carmichael is used to getting what he wants, and he’s determined to get Jocelyn into his bed.

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. 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.
