On Loverose Lane

De: Samantha Young

Narrado por: Shane East, Zara Hampton-Brown

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…

HOLY CANOLI I ADORED THIS.

⚽️ second chance romance
⚽️ sports romance (soccer)
⚽️ fake dating
⚽️ open door
⚽️ no 3rd Act break-up

Oh man was this book just so damn good!! Callan and Beth, who had a fleeting romance when they were teens, are reunited after 8 years when they realize they are now living in the same apartment building (on Loverose lane ❤️). These two had great banter and obvious chemistry, but once they cleared the air surrounding what broke them apart when they were younger, these two stopped holding back.

There was so much character development, great friendships, some heartbreak, and mending of those broken hearts. I just adored this story and these characters.

Thank you to the author for an e-ARC of this book - all opinions are my own!

Sweet and sexy

A book you can get lost in. The storyline was fun and romantic. Narrators told the story well and the characters were relatable.

Loved it!

This was a perfect next generation novel. I loved the new story and seeing how the previous story continues into 20+ years of marriage. Love love loved it!

Sad I finished it!

I loved this story so much I'm sad I finished it! I'm so excited to have a new generation of the Charmichaels and their extended family to read about while getting glimpses into how the others have been, seeing their relationships still going strong while feeling real at the same time. Like all the stories in the earlier On Dublin Street series, this book is fantastic, the characters feel real and raw and I loved how Callan and Beth's relationship progressed throughout the story. Their banter is absolutely hilarious and their chemistry off the charts! I laughed, I sighed, I cried and I adored every second of this audiobook! In addition, the narration is beautiful and made the story and characters truly come alive. I absolutely devoured this story and can't wait for the next!

Awww to be in love with

It felt so good to step back into the world of On Dublin Street! ODS was a book that touched my soul many years ago when I need a book to help me through a hard time. Jocelyn was an instant soul sister. Decades later we have a second gen start up and it did not disappoint! Samantha’s writing is still the soul depth masterpiece that I was expecting! It was great to see Jocelyn and Braden through their eldest daughter’s eyes.

Beth was an amazing FMC! Character development was top knot h and evolved beautifully.

Callan was perfect as the top athlete with a secret soft spot for the young heart stealer.

Baird was the best side character and i desperately want his story soon!!!

The narrators did an excellent job!

She did it again

Samantha's books always remind me why she is my favorite author and On Lover Rose Lane is no exception. I absolutely loved the story. I loved the reminders of all of the previous books. I loved the fact that it was like getting Brayden and Joss all over again, along with their daughter. I felt like we were hearing from family members and it was nice to reminisce. I appreciate the flashbacks from Joss and Brayden's story. I can almost say I even remember when Beth was born. The first generation was my favorite series of books and I can't wait for more books in this second generation.

I loved it so much!!

If I could give this one more than five stars I would. I loved it so much! I was hooked immediately and didn’t want to put it down! So to make that happen I got the audio! If you are an audio lover it is a definite must listen! It enhanced the story so much! The narrators did an amazing job bringing this story to life! It played out like a movie in my mind! I loved Callan and Beth so much! This was definitely one of those reads that will leave you thinking now what?! Only because you wont want it to end! I got so attached to the characters. If you’re in the mood for a sports, close proximity, enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, second chance romance make sure to add this one to your tbr!!! A definite must read!

Excellent book.

On Love Rose Lane is such a treat. If you read On Dublin Street series, you’ll love this book.
