ABOUT THE BOOK
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…
MY REVIEW
“It was dizzying… Falling this hard.”
Holy, Captain! It’s been far too long since I picked up a Samantha Young novel, and it literally has everything I crave!
Oh, where do I even begin with Callan and Beth? Due to a misunderstanding, they parted ways as enemies in high school, and seven years later, they live in the same building. Seriously, I loved every second of watching these two in action! Whether they’re battling it out in a heated argument or losing control in the hallway of their apartment building, the connection between them is palpable. Their banter was sharp, witty, and delightfully addictive.
Callan is the quintessential player: driven, broody, and known for keeping things incredibly casual with hook-ups that are all fun and games, with zero emotional entanglements. On the flip side, we have Beth, a smart, savvy young entrepreneur and a total romantic. She dreams of the deep, passionate love her parents have. Her standards are high, and she won’t settle for anything less.
What makes this duo so irresistible is their brutal honesty. They don’t shy away from acknowledging their attraction to each other and let me tell you, it only adds to the tension. It doesn’t take long for all that mad chemistry to combust into something way more intense. And when it does? I mean, wow!
Add in Beth’s hilarious and supportive family and Callan’s charming and loyal friends, and it sealed the deal for me. I can’t wait to go back and read the original Dublin Street series.
If you’re looking for a beautiful second-chance love story packed with angst, steam, humor, and genuine feelings, this is it.
Thank you to Ms. Young for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
