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.
Down London Road is a book about how unexpected love can sometimes be.
Johanna had had a rough life since she was a little girl. With alcoholic parents, she had to drop out of school in order to take care of herself and her brother, Cole. She’s beautiful, smart and has a big heart. Despite these qualities, her goal is to give the little boy the life she never had, so the men she chooses to date have to meet her own standards, even if she feels something for them or not.
Everything changes when she meets Cameron MacCabe.
Cam isn’t even close to the type Jo would date. He doesn’t wear suits all the time, he has tattoos and he has already made his own mind about her when he sees Jo with an older man at her arm. Still, sparks fly and there’s an incredible attraction between them but Cam is also wrong about her.
Jo doesn’t trust easily and she’s always considered herself a failure. She’s insecure and stubborn and she’ll never imagined she’ll end up being friends with a guy like Cam.
When the whole truth comes out, they’ll find themselves facing a reality neither of them expected because Cam was wrong, so wrong in his judgement.
I read On Dublin Street before and I was curious about Jo’s story. I liked Samantha’s writing style and her book quickly became one of my favorites. I particularly liked the secondary characters and their roles in the novel. However, Down London Road didn’t have the same impact on me as the first one.
I enjoyed very much the story but I couldn’t really connect with Jo, even if I could understand her.
Do I recommend this book? Yup, I do. There are quite a few lessons to learn from it.
