Ellie and Braden welcome her into their family and friend group.
She opens up to Braden and he opens up to her. She puts in the work with a medical professional. There is no healing by the power of love or magic of sex. On Dublin Street does show Joss going through therapy to deal with the deaths she's experienced. I just wanted Joss to realize what she was doing and move forward. I didn't want to throw the book across the room. Joss has some serious issues that she has been burying down deep for years, so they obviously have to interfere with her relationship. But sometimes they're done right, and this one was done right. Of course, On Dublin Street would not be complete without the inevitable break-up, which is normally my least favorite part of these books. Luckily, Braden knows what he wants and makes her an offer she can't refuse: no-strings-attached sex! Wooo! And sex they have!
The tension is through the roof despite Joss being a professional at denying her own feelings. Soon the two realize that she's his new tenant, as she's rooming with his younger sister, Ellie. Joss and Braden get off on the wrong foot which is always a good thing for a Romance novel. That's not to say they're nonexistent, but the problems present here are very real and less eye-roll inducing. If angsty Romance about twenty-somethings is not generally your thing, I'd still say give this one a try! The angst and drama are relatively low compared to others within the genre. On Dublin Street reminded me why I was so obsessed with New Adult Romance! I wish I had read this back when it was new! But now I get to binge the entire series, so I guess there's a reason for everything. The last thing she wants is a new best friend or a boyfriend. Her family and best friend died eight years ago, she moved to Scotland four years ago, and when we meet her, she's moving into a new apartment. She's closed off, self reliant, and really going through some things.
On Dublin Street is a Contemporary New Adult Romance narrated by Joss, an American in Scotland. This book contains death, grief, panic attacks, and sexual harassment. Written on 4 of 5 stars Proceed with Caution:
