 Whew, what an intense read! 
 I heard a lot of good things about this book and a friend from one of my reading groups recommended this, but it took me a while to read it. It finally got my attention because of the cover, haha! We are doing a colored cover theme challenge and we have to read books with blue covers, and yay, it qualified! Anyway, I started it yesterday and I didn't stop until I finish it. It was really good. 
 On Dublin Street starts with a young Jocelyn "Joss" Butler sitting on her class with her best friend Dru. A few moments later, she was informed about an incident that completely changed her life, an accident that instantly killed her family. 
 Eight years after the accident, Joss is now living in Scotland on dual citizenship. When her best friend/roommate Rhian left for London to start her PhD and her landlord needing the apartment back, she have to look for a new flat. Though it was a little too expensive for her, she decided to check the apartment in Dublin Street. While waiting for a taxi, she accidentally met "The Suit", whom she ended sharing a taxi ride with. Who would've thought that a taxi ride with "The Suit" will be life altering?!? 
 The story actually started slow. Jocelyn have issues that she never really addressed. It's obvious that she never completed the 5 stages of loss and grief (aka 5 stages of death and dying). She never accepted her family's death and repressed her feelings. She started over in Edinburgh with awfully high walls and defenses. It was so difficult for her to open up that even her only best friend couldn't get past her defenses, not that she tried though, Rhian is as emotionally messed up as she was. Anyway, when she met her new roommate Ellie and started hanging out with her and her friends, she started to open up unconsciously... and then suddenly, her panic attacks are coming back. 
 I was so proud of Joss when she finally acknowledged that she needed help, that's the first step in healing. However, despite the treatment she's getting, she's still stubborn and never listens. She annoys me at times, but I have to remind myself that she have unresolved issues. Braden on the other hand was amazing. Okay, he was cocky and over confident but it fits his character well. He's probably a long lost cousin of Christian Grey or Gideon Cross. LOL! He's a great brother to Ellie, a loyal friend to Adam, and an awesome friend-with-benefits to Joss. I have to mention how sweet Elli was in this story...I'm glad that she and Adam got their HEA too! 
 So, yep I did enjoy reading this book! It was intense and emotional. If you're game to read an angsty and steamy contemporary romance, this is perfect for you!
