Review / Release Blitz: On Loverose Lane (Return to Dublin Street #1) by Samantha Young


On Loverose Lane by Samantha Young is now live!

Imagine my surprise when my new neighbor turns out to be one of Scotland’s most famous (and hottest) professional footballers, Callan Keen. I’m even more shocked to discover that the brooding player is still holding a grudge for something that happened (or didn’t happen) between us years ago.

Too busy trying to take my social media management company to the next level, I don’t have time for this gorgeous blast from the past. Or at least I shouldn’t. Yet whenever I see him, I can’t help but engage in a battle of wits with the grump upstairs.

When a huge client opportunity arises, circumstances force me to enlist Callan’s help. I require a fake date and Callan needs me to facilitate a meeting with my dad to further his own business interests.

The deal between us should be simple. Except, of course, the blazing chemistry we’ve shared since the moment we met. We can’t deny it, we can’t control it, and soon we’re agreeing to six weeks of no-strings-attached, mind-blowing, steamy shenanigans. I told myself I was too smart to catch feelings. But when Callan finally finds out the truth about our past, he becomes the guy I used to know. And that man is way too easy to fall for.
The problem is that Callan has vowed to never let another person close enough to break his heart again.

It just might prove impossible to show my stubborn Scotsman I’m worth the risk, especially when old wounds are re-opened and threaten to wreck any chance of a future together…

The #1 International bestselling author is back with this emotional and steamy sports romance in which ambitious entrepreneur, Beth Carmichael, meets her match in the grumpy football captain who moves into the apartment above hers.

MY REVIEW

Imagine Beth's surprise when she finds her new neighbor is the boy she once had serious feelings for, the boy she was best friends with, the boy who's all man now and who definitely dislikes her. Though Callan and she may have messed things up back then, a fake dating arrangement is giving them a second chance to make things right.


Callan never thought he was good enough to fit into Beth's upscale world, so when she dismissed him back in school, he knew it was because of how different their worlds were. But look at them now - he's a lauded soccer (sorry, football) player and she's a PR company owner, and they need each other. In a fake dating kind of way at least. All the close proximity is giving him those feelings again, only this time they can make it work because they know how to communicate with each other. The second chance he didn't know he wanted can be his.


I do so love me a hot Scot, and Samantha's are some of the best written. Callan is a bit grumpy at first, but he slowly reveals why Beth had loved (loves) him so much. He's got a big heart that's as tender as his outside is chiseled. Beth is a sassy ray of sunshine who hides her own anxiety, and the way that anxiety is revealed couldn't have been in a more realistic, heartfelt way. The mental health rep is on point here, and made me fall even more in love with Beth. Second chance love stories are some of my favorite kinds to read, and it's because of ones like Beth and Callan's - chemistry enough to melt my Kindle, enough heart to fill the entire story, and a sweet couple who couldn't have deserved love more.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
