Very cute novella! I liked catching up with all these characters and seeing how real their relationships and worries are. ( )

Joss & Braden, Ellie & Adam, Jo & Cam, Olivia & Nate, Hannah & Marco and Shannon & Cole all appear in this Special Valentine's Day collection of short stories in the On Dublin Street series. Fun to revisit our favorite characters and check on how they are getting on in their lives. Fans of the series would be interested in this Valentine treat ( )

This novella has six short stories about couples in love and how they spend their Valentine’s Day. The typical Valentine’s Day story involves cynical singles, wary of love and complaining about it. These stories were refreshing in that all the stories were about couples, mostly married, who are in love and still in lust, with all the ups and downs that implies. That was nice to read about.

I figured that this was part of a series. What I didn’t realize is that the couples appearing in this book, are recurring characters from previous books. I simply love that idea. It does what it is supposed to do, it makes me want to read the rest of the ‘On Dublin Street’ books and just about anything else written by this author if I am honest. If you are looking for steamy Valentine’s read with characters that are easy to connect with, this is a great way to spend the afternoon. ( )

The Story

So Ms Young gave her readers a wonderful gift. A chance to catch up with some of our favorite characters.

Joss & Braden are on babysitting duty this year (I like how they trade years). So they are staying at home with their 2.5, plus Ellie’ and Hannah’s little bits. Braden still finds a way to make it a special night because he’s just that damn good. *wink*

Ellie and Adam have an… interesting night out.

Jo and Cam are learning that they have to make time for each other in a busy busy life.

Nate and Olivia, well, they are still cracking me up.

Marco is still proving to be full of surprises to us and Hannah. I swear he’s trying to give Braden a run for his money in the category of thoughtful, brooding sexiness.

Cole and Shannon are new to me (I’m behind a book). But they seems sweet together.
