ODS made me very sad, angry, mad and extremely happy...balled my eyes out, had to put it down gather my strength and continue. Braden is a freak of nature and my new literary crush, Jocelyn is a mess but somehow I can relate to her and feel you nailed her emotions in the head.
Please let me now if you'll continue this extremely splendid story in a second book....I sure as hell will be nominating this book as a must read to my book club.
Thanks again for Braden...WOW!

Elaine Paige Thanks for the add! : ) This was my first time reading any of your books and I must say that I really, really enjoyed reading..On Dublin Street! You nailed Jocelyn's character. I went from being sad, very angry, disappointed, happy etc. when it came to her. Sometimes I understood and then there were times I just wanted to shake some sense into her. Then there's Braden....Wow! *Sigh* Braden....Braden....Braden Wonderful character loved EVERYTHING about him. Even the possessive, scary Braden but those characteristics where formed out of love for Jocelyn. LOVED HIM! This just showed me how great you are with identifying with your characters. You allow them to develop in such a way that makes it hard to put the book down. I was really sad to see Jocelyn and Braden leave. So I'm definitely looking forward to your second "On Dublin Street" novel. I don't think I will ever get enough of them....sigh : )

Great job for being your first contemporary novel! Keep up the great work!
