First of all, this novella is free. There is nothing better than, when one of your favourite authors writes special stories with your favourite book boyfriends (Braden, Adam and Nate in my case) and is giving it for free to a reader.



But to the point. I loved catching up with the bunch. It was so good to get some more of them, especially Braden, *sigh*. I will never have enough of him. And, OMG so many kids, where did they come from?

❤️ Jocelyn and Braden ❤️
Well, well, well, I had no idea Braden could be such a procreator. But seriously, their kids were adorable. I still remember Beth and little fuckers from Hannah's book.
”That's what happened when two smartasses procreated I guess."
I'm happy to say that Braden and Joss, except being good parents, are still hot as hell, witty and have fantastic banter. One of my favourites couple ever!
”Me Man. Me Put Seed In My Woman's Belly. My Woman. Mine!"

"-We're having an early night?
- A long night. You're going to be fucking exhausted by the time I'm done with you.
- Yay."

"I said I'm not a god, not that I'm ancient. I'm spending the rest of the night having sex with you, alright."
Not to mention that Braden is swoon worthy and romantic and passionate, as always.
”Now it's full blown fusion. A hot, deep, sexy as fuck fusion. Losing you would be like losing myself. It doesn't bear thinking about."


❤️ Ellie and Adam ❤️
I just loved Adam. He was always as alpha as Braden for me, and he didn't disappoint here either. Ellie and Adam go to dinner on Valentine's Day, and from word to word, Ellie suggests that they shouldn't get lazy and maybe spice things up in bedroom by eg. sex in public;) Adam gets slightly annoyed...
”For a couple who have two kids and full time jobs I think we're doing pretty fucking good in the bedroom. Or am I interpreting your orgasms incorrectly?"
But in the end, as always, he gives Ellie what she needs. After the dinner, they go to a party, and when Ellie is talking to some good-looking guy, Adam goes all possessive, alhpa male on her, drags her to a bathroom and has his sexy way with her. It cracked me up:)
”Public enough for you."


❤️ Johanna and Cameron ❤️
It was good to know that book characters, as all of us, live the normal life, with ups and downs and flaws in marriages too. I didn't expect Cam to get lost in every day life and career like that, but I liked how Jo put him right back on track.
”I would follow you, you know. I would follow you to the ends of the earth to convince you to come back to me. I will never stop fighting for you."


❤️ Olivia and Nate ❤️
Oh my, I forgot how delicious Nate was. Yum! And he likes to talk dirty? Hmm, I must have forgotten too. Needless to say, this was the hottest part, made my heart flutter. Their banter and jokes were awesome, you'll never get bored with this couple.
”If I don't get you in our room, in the next ten seconds I'm going to fuck you in the hallway."

"- Take me! Before the clock strikes midnight and I turn into a poor serving girl.
- You can't dirty up Cinderella.
- Why not?
- Because our kids watch it. What?
- You! You're such an adorable daddy.
- Don't use that word in the bedroom.
- What? Daddy?
- Stop it.
- Come on, daddy.
- I'm warning you I will lose my erection!"


❤️ Hannah and Marco ❤️
I didn't really care about this part. Marco is the least likeable hero from all SY's books for me. He could fart with hearts and I still won't believe him after what he put Hannah through. But good to know that he is at least crazy about her right now, or horny, or whatever...
”I hate to tell you this, baby, but when we're old and gray my horny ass will still want yours."


❤️ Shannon and Cole ❤️
I still haven't read Cole's book so I can't tell much about this part, except that they seem like very nice couple. I loved that he called her "shortcake", sweet!
”- Our first Valentine's Day was a success.
- Every single one is going to be.
- All fifty of them?
- You fucking bet your arse, Shortcake. This here, every inch of you is mine. Forever."

4 Awesome Stars.

For those of you who know me, know that I’m a huge fan of the “On Dublin Street” series. I loved all the books (one more than the others, but still) and I still re-read some of my favorite scenes very frequently. First Braden stole my heart… but then Nate came along and secured a safe spot on my “Book Boyfriend” list.
So, as you can imagine, this compilation novella made me feel very happy and emotional.

(And it’s free on Amazon, GO, GO! Go here: http://www.amazon.com/Valentine-Dubli... )

description

I loved all the stories, with a special affection for Nate and Olivia’s (because… Nate.) but the one who left a mark was the Cam and Jo one. After 11 years a marriage has to have ups and downs and to have a successful relationship after so many years you have to work for it… their little story was described that perfectly. That marriage takes work and you just need to find id the person worth working with. I loved it.

So if you’re a fan of these books, what are you waiting for?
And if you never read this series, now, seriously, what the hell are you waiting for??!

It's a Happy ~or not so Happy~ Valentine's day for our favorite couples in the On Dublin Street series. Each couple have their own sweet story and offer us a peek into what's going on in their lives.

description

The timeline is right after Cole and Shannon got together and they are celebrating their first Valentine's Day. They get the award for ♥ "I-wanna-tell-the-world-she's-mine" Valentine. ♥

But I have two favorites. The first one goes to Nate and Olivia...I still love them so hard! They get the award for ♥ Best Lunch Valentine ♥

Second runner up is Ellie and Adam...I know, I know, I was surprise too but Adam really surprised me. They get the award for ♥ Best Caveman Valentine ♥

Honorable Mention goes to Joss and Braden. I feel a little bad about not giving them first place especially since they had their hands full. They get the award for ♥ "Still-able-to-get-the-job-done" Valentine ♥

Jo and Cam...well, I was really shocked about their story. As much as they weren't my favorite, I still really liked Cam and never questioned his devotion to Jo. They get the award for ♥ Most Surprising Valentine ♥

And that leaves Hannah and Marco. Not my favoritest couple but Marco's about as romantic as you can get. They get the award for ♥ Most Romantic Valentine ♥

The one thing I did really like about the stories was how real they all were. We've all experienced a similar one or two Valentine Days.

description

I really liked catching up with all the couples and thanks goes out to Samantha Young for updating us on all the couples and giving us the story for free! ♥

Favorite quotes: ♦ A quote from each couple...bonus points if you know which quote goes to which couple! ♦

♥ “I love what we have. I don’t need sex down an alley. I just need you.”

♥ "This here,” he encircled my waist with his large hands, “every inch of you is mine. Forever.”

♥ “I read a lot of sexy books.” I shrugged.

“And I thank God for that every day.”

♥ “We are never telling our kids the story of house we fell in love.”

♥ “Losing you would be like losing myself.”

♥ “I would follow you, you know. I would follow you to the ends of the earth to convince you to come back to me. I will never stop fighting for you.”

This was an okay collection of short stories, with quite a few sex scenes, including sex in public places. It was nice to catch up with the couples from the previous books, and to see how their lives have moved on.

4.5 Sexy Valentine Stars!
(BR with Sharon)

This book is six delicious short stories from the On Dublin Street couples Joss & Braden, Ellie & Adam, Jo & Cam, Olivia & Nate, Hannah & Marco, and Shannon & Cole.

They are all celebrating Valentine's Day, & we get to share in their romantic evenings. Some are pregnant, they have kids, and we get to see what they've been up to. Some are struggling to make time for each other with their hectic lives, and others want to spice things up a bit, and be more impulsive & adventurous.

What they all have in common is they are all still deeply in love. All these men are absolutely yummy, romantic, & all the stories were very steamy!

5 SWEET STARS

Gotta love it when you get something for free. Especially when it's this sugary goodness featuring a chance for me to connect with one of my book boyfriends, Braden Carmichael!!

Braden could do anything and I'd give it 5 stars but seriously, being able to see him and Joss still in love with two kids and a third one on the way was HEAVEN! He's still the witty, Alpha:

"Me Man. Me Put Seed In My Woman's Belly. My Woman. Mine!"

And Joss, forever with the sass:

"We're having an early night?
"A long night. You're going to be fucking exhausted by the time I'm done with you.
"Yay."


And Braden still makes me weak in the knees with his sweet words:

"Now it's full blown fusion. A hot, deep, sexy as fuck fusion. Losing you would be like losing myself. It doesn't bear thinking about."



And yes, catching up with Ellie & Adam, Cam & Jo, Olivia & Nate, Hannah & Marco and Shannon & Cole was just icing on the already perfect cake!

THANK YOU SAMANTHA!

Valentine is a novella that gives us a little glance into the lives of our favorite couples as they balance the changes life brings them. Each couple gets a short story that gives us a glimpse into their Valentine’s Day. Whether it is sneaking off for a moment away from the kids for some sexy time, or finding a way to reconnect when everything else becomes the priority.

This was a great little glimpse into the lives of these characters. We have all loved these couples, watching them fall in love – run scared – and ultimately find their HEA; it was nice getting a glimpse into their future. Although we’ve only had these characters for a few years, the fact that their stories have stretched into more than a decade; it truly feels as if they’ve been a part of my life for that long. I love seeing these glimpses into the future and that they may still struggle, years later, but that spark and love is still just as strong.

A must read for the fans of the Dublin Street Series.

If you are all caught up with Samantha Young's Dublin street series then this is a nice look into the couples' lives on Valentine's Day.

I thought all the stories were well thought out accordingly to the couple and that couple's dynamic and how we've come to know them and where they're all at in their lives now. It's a quick glimpse and a reminder of how much we loved them in their books.

Joss and Braden are hands down my favorite Dublin Street couple. They are well into their life together and this was just sweet. They have a couple of novellas already and I've loved them all...this included. I like how realistic this particular Valentine's Day is for them, as it's their turn this year to watch the kids for the other couples. But SY still manages to infuse humor, acceptance, longing, steam, and love. We still feel that special Joss and Braden magic even after eleven other Valentine's Day.

"Do you still feel the way you felt about me when we first got together?" He stared at me, his eyes searching mine. "No," he said quietly, as though it was obvious, and my breath caught. "I feel more. You're a part of me now in a way you weren't when we first fell in love. It was just a connection then. A hot, exciting, sexy as fuck connection. Now." He pressed his forehead to mine and closed his eyes. "Losing you would be like losing myself. It doesn't bear thinking about."

Ellie and Adam had hot bathroom sex.

Olivia and Nate's Valentine's Day was sweet...and naughty including an afternoon delight sex.

Hannah and Marco had hot public park sex.

Shannon and Cole celebrated their very first Valentine's Day with Cole getting a new tattoo to show Shannon that they are permanent.

But the best, most heart wrenching story is Jo's and Cam's!!!!
OMG I felt this story. It felt like someone grabbed hold of my heart and tugged at it, squeezed it, and also made sure it was still beating. How can Samantha Young make me feel so deeply, so emotional in just a few pages???? I mean really!!!! I had to read this short story twice...it was that amazing!

If you are all caught up with the gang, this is that gift of more. Of getting to know what our favorite couples are up to now. And that's always nice. :)

This is everything I expected it to be. As always, Braden and Joss were the best, and Marco and Hannah were the most underwhelming. Of course, Nate and Liv were real, and Shannon and Cole were cute as fuck. Cam and Jo were the most angsty and dramatic ones, and without a doubt, Ellie and Adam were Ellie and Adam. Because, really, that's the only way I could possibly describe those two. I loved it.

Много ми хареса това пътуване напред във времето и показването на развитието на всички двойки. Макар и поднесено малко захаросано, заради Св. Валентин (който беше добра обединяваща тема, но много ме дразни самото преекспониране на празника), беше интересно да се види, че и при най-съвършените двойки има моменти на притеснение и колебание относно развитието на връзката и че след толкова години брак и деца, огънят трябва да се поддържа, а да не се оставя да тлее от само себе си.

Post-HEA stories are my jam!

“Every day is Valentine’s Day with you.”

VALENTINE, six sexy and emotional short stories, one for each couple in the On Dublin Street series, making up a short novella about one very special day.

This was a wonderful novella. I don't know why I hadn't read it before but a GR friend recommended it to me in my review for On Hart’s Boardwalk. And I couldn't pass up an opportunity to read more of my favorite couple in the On Dublin Street series: Nate & Liv.

Liv & Nate's story was of course AMAZING. Though I must admit I might be a little biased because they're my favorite fictional couple in my shelves. Actually, they might be my favorite couple in real life too lol. I love them that much. But really, their story was perfect. Their banter was as fantastic as ever, and Nate is still disarmingly charming. Still the dirty talker I love. Again, I might be biased, but I think they were the hottest couple in Valentine. ***5+ Stars<3***

However, Jo & Cam's story was, dare I say it, my utmost favorite? *gasp* I'm sorry Liv & Nate! You'll always be my people! Anywho, Jo & Cam were certainly the most emotionally captivating. And angsty! Angst is my Achilles heel, y'all. For such a short, SHORT story, it seriously packed quite a punch. I floved the emotional dramatics between these two, and their conclusion was filled with such incredible passion, it oozed from the pages. ***5+ Stars!*** Honestly, I was surprised this one was such a hit for me because Jo & Cam's book is my least favorite in the series. Now I feel like rereading Down London Road!

My third favorite was Ellie & Adam's chapter. I'll just say this about their story: sometimes a girl needs some adventurous sex in her life. Also, I really enjoyed Adam's alpha attitude here.***5 Stars***

The other three stories were enjoyable but not as much as the aforementioned ones.

AY AY AY. Samantha, por qué? Realmente quería AMAR estas pequeñas historias de San Valentín de todas las parejas de la serie, pero no pude. Y no pude porque básicamente se SUPONÍA que iban a ser historias cortas románticas, dulces y sexies sobre cada una de las parejas, pero no terminó siendo así.

Algunas de ellas fueron exactamente como se suponía que tenían que ser. Pero otras, no. Y realmente no entiendo porqué Samantha hizo ésto. Voy a dar mi opinión de cada una de las historias y van a entender a lo que me refiero.


- Joss y Braden

Por supuesto ésta fue la primera historia, ya que ellos históricamente son la primera pareja. La verdad que a mí ésta pareja no me gusta y no me interesa para nada. De hecho su libro fue el que menos me gustó de la saga. Su historia de amor no me llegó en lo más mínimo, y el único motivo por el cual llegué al final del libro fue porque quería saber cómo iban a terminar Ellie y Adam.
Pero, ya que estaba, la leí. Estuvo linda, entretenida, romántica, sexy. Todo lo que se suponía que cada una de las historias tenía que ser.

Es TAN, tan malditamente evidente que ellos son la pareja favorita de Samantha y que los ama, porque no sólo SIEMPRE les da muchísima participación en los otros libros, sino que también escribió otras cosas sobre ellos y SIEMPRE habla maravillas de ellos. Su historia estuvo muy linda, pero me da un poco de bronca, que ellos después de 12 años de casados tengan la vida perfecta, con toda la pasión intacta y todo super ideal y genial, y que los demás no. Me parece injusto. Aparte que ésta pareja ni siquiera me gusta, entonces si bien la historia fue linda, hubiese preferido una historia así, para OTRA pareja.


- Ellie y Adam

Esta es una de mis parejas favoritas. Los amo. Amo a Ellie. Me parece un personaje increíble. De Adam no puedo decir mucho porque Samantha nunca se preocupó en desarrollarlo demasiado (cosa que por supuesto, también me da un poco de bronca), pero SÍ sabemos que ama a Ellie.
Pero qué pasó respecto a la historia? Yo pensé... Ellie, el personaje MÁS romántico de toda la saga, tiene que tener una historia de San Valentín épica. Y no. La verdad que no fue así. Fue la historia más corta y casi no hubo diálogo entre ellos. Básicamente fue ella pensando que deberían tener una vida sexual más aventurera y el uno estando incómodo con el otro.
Está bueno que al final terminen haciendo eso que Ellie quería que hicieran. Pero, y lo romántico ??? Y los diálogos dulces ??? Es Ellie y Adam de quiénes estamos hablando. Me esperaba algo más adorable.
Encima que ellos no tuvieron un libro completo, sólo una novella (que me encantó igual eh), Samantha es muy injusta con ellos. Pero no me importa porque igual, ellos son una de mis parejas favoritas y eso no va a cambiar.


- Jo y Cam

Y acá fue cuando terminé de decir "QUÉ RAYOS ESTÁ PASANDO? ME VENDIERON GATO POR LIEBRE." Eran historias de San Valentín, señores!!! Cómo puede ser que la historia de Jo y Cam haya sido tan triste y angustiosa? Yo ya sé que los matrimonios no son siempre constantes y perfectos, pero a ver, ERA NECESARIO QUE EN ÉSTA HISTORIA CORTA SE TRATARA ESO? Cam siendo un estúpido que dió por sentado a Jo. Hacía meses que no tenían una conversación real, y hacía 6 semanas que no hacían el amor. Y lo peor de todo, Cam olvidándose de que era el día de San Valentín, y quedándose hasta tarde en la oficina hablando con una compañera de trabajo que era una maldita zorra. ERA NECESARIO ESCRIBIR ÉSTO? A ver, estuvo lindo que hayan podido arreglar las cosas y reencontrarse el uno al otro, pero me parece que si los lectores de esta saga, tenemos la posibilidad de leer una historia corta del día de los enamorados estamos esperando amor, pasión, diversión. NO ÉSTO.


- Liv y Nate

Y empezando ésta historia yo ya dije "Si Samantha hace la historia de Liv y Nate como la de Jo y Cam revoleo todo."
Liv y Nate son mi pareja favorita de toda la saga. Los amo. Me encantan. Me fascinan. Ellos son todo a lo que yo aspiro en mi vida. Para mí su relación es PERFECTA. Realmente quería leer algo romántico y divertido bien al estilo de ellos.
Y LO OBTUVE.
Lo que me dió mucha felicidad. Son tan lindos. Tan malditamente adorables. Tienen la familia perfecta. Y a pesar de estar casados hace años JAMÁS perdieron esa pasión y esa familiaridad que siempre tuvieron. Siguen teniendo esas charlas inmaduras sin sentido tan divertidas. Siguen siendo mejores amigos. Siguen riéndose el uno del otro. Siguen estando uno completamente enamorado y atraído por el otro. Y SÍ, ESO ES EXACTAMENTE LO QUE YO ME QUERÍA ENCONTRAR AL LEER ÉSTAS HISTORIAS.
Liv y Nate son todo lo que para mí, una pareja debería ser. Ojalá algún día pueda tener algo así en mi vida. Es simplemente maravilloso.
Y el hecho de que él se haya echo el que se había olvidado del día de San Valentín, sólo para después sorprenderla, hace que mi amor por ellos se reafirme y me explote el corazón de amor.


- Hannah y Marco

La historia de ellos dos fue más bien cortita, pero fue linda. Bonita. Ellos no están casados hace mucho tiempo, así que es super normal que la llama de la pasión todavía esté completamente encendida en éstos primeros años. Tienen a sus bebés, y una gran vida sexual. Eso es lo que se mostró en ésta historia.
Marco le dió una sorpresa super dulce a Hannah, y si bien su personalidad sigue siendo taciturna y un tanto seria, bueno, es parte de quién él es.


- Shannon y Cole

Éste fue el primer día de San Valentín de ellos dos juntos como pareja. Y fue cuando Cole decidió tatuarse la inicial de Shannon en su pecho. Básicamente fue como una escena más de Echoes of Scotland Street. Es comprensible porque se da en la misma línea temporal de la historia, pero estuvo linda. Sexy, entretenida. Y Cole es un amor.



En fin, creo que quedó claro que mi historia favorita fue la de Liv y Nate, no sólo porque ellos son mi pareja favorita, sino porque también su historia fue la mejor.

Espero con ansias el libro de Logan y Grace. Samantha Young tiene una manera de marcar personalidades para cada uno de sus personajes que me parece increíble. En cada uno de sus libros ninguna de sus protagonistas se parece una a la otra. Joss es cínica. Ellie es romántica. Jo es leal. Liv es ingeniosa. Hannah es audaz. Shannon es sensible. Me pregunto como será Grace.

Estas historias cortas podrían haber sido mejor. Realmente me hubiese encantado que todas hayan sido románticas, dulces y entretenidas. Pero bueno, así es la vida.

I'm a huge fan of Samantha Young's On Dublin Street series and I absolutely love it when author's revisit favourite couples and give us a glimpse of how they're getting on after we've read about their HEA. I especially love it when authors give their fans these little snippets for free as a thank you for supporting their work and that's exactly what Samantha Young has done with Valentine.

This novella contains 6 short stories, one about each of the previous couples in the series and shows them celebrating valentine's day together. Some of them are home babysitting, others are getting a rare night away from the kids and normal day to day responsibilities while the younger couples are just wanting to do something special with the ones they love. Some of the couples are stronger than ever where others are going through a rough patch and need to reconnect. Each of these stories offers something different, some are super romantic, others tug at your heart strings but they all include a little spice and they're all very realistic for the couple they feature.

This is a fab little collection and I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with everyone and seeing how they're getting on. Of course we all have our favourite couples and I'm sure you'll love some stories more than others but they're all great little slices of life and this is well worth a read if you're a fan of the series.
