"Young's modern heroes are hot, Scot and possessive to boot -- a lethal combination for any reader!"

Romance Contemporary

With an absent father and a useless mother, Joanna Walker is the primary caretaker to her younger brother, Cole. Though Jo works hard trying to keep her family afloat, she is finding it more and more difficult to handle things on her own. Though not a gold digger, Jo dates men who are affluent and can help her and her brother survive. But with that comes the notion that she is only with men for their money. When called on it, Jo doesn't speak out and as a result, many formulate bad opinions about her personality at first glance. Cameron MacCabe is one of those people. As a man struggling to find work in Edinburgh himself, he knows just how difficult money is to come by. However, his initial thoughts of Jo spark something inside of her that Cam likes. Though it's a rough start for both of them, they soon find that they are more similar than they first anticipated and that only brings them closer together. In DOWN LONDON ROAD, the sequel to On Dublin Street, Samantha Young presents readers with another page-turning, sexy read that has a whole lot of heart and heat. Real life issues find their way into these pages and make readers sympathetic to what Cam and Jo are experiencing. I dare you not to feel for these characters. As a result, Young has a spell-binding read on her hands that is just as magnetic as its predecessor. Another point worthy of mention is Young's brand of heroes. You can be sure the females will be fanning themselves after reading DOWN LONDON ROAD. Young's modern heroes are hot, Scot and possessive to boot -- a lethal combination for any Romance reader. DOWN LONDON ROAD delivers on all fronts -- charismatic characters, witty dialogue, blazing hot sex scenes and real like issues makes this book an easy one to devour. Samantha Young is not an author you should miss out on!

SUMMARY


Johanna Walker is used to taking charge. But she's about to meet someone who will make her lose control....

It has always been up to Johanna to care for her family, particularly her younger brother, Cole. With an absent father and a useless mother, she's been making decisions based on what's best for Cole for as long as she can remember. She even determines what men to date by how much they can provide for her brother and her, not on whatever sparks may–or may not–fly.

But with Cameron MacCabe, the attraction is undeniable. The sexy new bartender at work gives her butterflies every time she looks at him. And for once, Jo is tempted to put her needs first. Cam is just as obsessed with getting to know Jo, but her walls are too solid to let him get close enough to even try.

Then Cam moves into the flat below Jo's, and their blistering connection becomes impossible to ignore. Especially since Cam is determined to uncover all of Jo's secrets...even if it means taking apart her defenses piece by piece.
