I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!!! I literally read the entire thing within 24hours!!!
It was exciting, supernatural. Sciencey and funny. I actually laughed out loud a number of times (especially about the boots)
The heroine really took the change in her stride and adapted quickly, instinctively knowing her priorities have shifted, she's no longer a scientist but an alpha werewolf with her own pack too.
It really highlights how different people react to loss, whether it's family, friends, life or oneself and how we change and shows that what we think would be our breaking point is in fact not and we can cope with far more than we realise.
Also love the Sex scenes,it's a bit like a fifty shades of wolf :) hahaha!
But on the whole this was a fantastic read and look forward to reading Brandi (book 2)

I have really been on a sci-fi romance kick lately so I was looking forward to this story. It had it’s good points and bad points, While it was enjoyable, it wasn’t perfect.

The bad is that it was a cliché stereotype of sci-fi romance that did not bring anything new to the table. I felt that the reader was thrown into the story with no prior knowledge of the world building, leaving the reader lost and frustrated. I felt the descriptions we were given weren’t relevant. I also loathe the idea of alpha males and their “fated mates.” I feel most authors use it as an excuse to force two characters together so that the eventually can stand each other.

The good is that there are strong female leads and, despite not having much background given, the worlds were pretty interesting.

Military romance seems to be my favourite thing to read at the moment. I love sexy alpha males and hot 'hold their own' heroines and this book does not disappoint. I enjoyed the technical details that seem to bring a scene to life and there's no shortage of steamy bits too. This fast became a book I couldn't put down.

Only one issue I had with this book and that was the phrase 'flaming fish balls' , once or twice I could have handled but it's constantly cropping up, I thought it was because the author wanted a substitute for the 'F word' , nope, I was wrong because ' f''king flaming fish balls' was in it too. This did detract from my enjoyment and so I give this book a 3.5 Stars instead of a 4. I would certainly read others by this author and I would recommend this book.

3.5 Stars

Oh how I loved this novel. "Down London Road" was a dark read. It dealt with emotional abuse, physical abuse, self doubts and other dark topics that many authors can't seem to write about (at least not in a realistic manner). I found myself in love with the characters. Cam was an Alpha-dog Asshole, who was a teddy bear when needed. Jo was a strong woman who once she realized she had worth I loved.

I loved seeing the struggle between the characters. I loved that this novel was realistic on the emotional front. We all have the insecurities that Jo felt or that Cam felt. I think that Samantha Young did an amazing job at making us care about the characters in her book.

I didn't think that she could write another novel as spectacular as "On Dublin Street" but I was wrong.

My favourite book of the month was The Night Shift by Alex Finlay this was just such a good book I loved it from start to finish! Also The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides it was a close race between the two for book of the month.

My least favourite was Marked by the Alpha it was just one of those in your face wham bam mating done!

My DNFS were a little high this month I just couldn’t get on with the 4 and I’m a great believer in not reading something just for the sake of it.

Book of the month The Night Shift by Alex Finlay
