Review
Idk why I read this when I’m well aware of the fact that Samantha Young’s writing just doesn’t impressed me anymore. Since her On Dublin Street Series, maybe even a bit before that, I am always so bored with her books, so this is entirely on me.
This book was unnecessarily too long. All the explanations and background stories given about every single character from the previous series over family dinners felt a bit overload. If I’m being brutally honest, they felt like fillers. I was so bored.
The banter felt immature and juvenil. Too many side characters, it felt more like the author was trying to set up stories for future books than part of the story. I wish I could say I loved this but sadly I didn’t. However, I’m sure if you are fan of the author you will love this as many other readers have. So I wouldn’t hesitate to read it.
3 stars because of my love for the previous series.
“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.”
“Yours then, yours now, yours always.”
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the Return to Dublin Street Series, a spin-off series from ‘On Dublin Street’. Each one can be read as a complete standalone.
- On Loverose Lane
- A Royal Mile

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…
