Shannon MacLeod has always gone for the wrong type of man. After she drifted from one toxic relationship to the next, her last boyfriend gave her a wakeup call in the worst possible way. With her world shattered, sheā€™s sworn off menā€”especially those of the bad-boy variety.

Cole Walker is exactly the sort that Shannon wants to avoidā€”gorgeous, tattooed, charming, and cocky. But his rough exterior hides a good man whoā€™s ready to find ā€œthe one.ā€ Heā€™s determined to pull Shannon from her self-imposed solitude and win her heart.

As Shannon opens up in the face of Coleā€™s steady devotion, the passion between them ignites to blazing levels. But when Shannonā€™s past comes back to haunt her, her fears may destroy the trust Cole has built between themā€”and tear them apart for goodā€¦

 ~ Book ~

I enjoyed Cole Walker as well as his co-workers and friends too. Shannon, however, was a harder sell for me. She's different than the other female MCs in this series, and while I understood her reasons for behaving the way she did, I didn't like them. Rae, in all her unapologetic, potty mouthed glory was my favorite character! I laughed out loud on more than one occasion while reading/listening to her parts. Fans of this series will enjoy seeing Cole all grown up and the cameos from previous couples was fun. I also enjoyed how everything came full circle at the end. 

While this can be read as a stand alone, it's probably wise to read the books in order, lest you risk spoiling the other story lines. 

Echoes of Scotland Street makes a great addition to the On Dublin Street Series!

Favorite Quote:
ā€œAs the old car took me away from Scotland Street amid his incessant chatter, I felt like fate had just handed me two cups and Iā€™d stupidly drunk from the wrong one.ā€

Elle Newlands does a fantastic job of bringing these characters and their accents to life!

Best Series Blog Hop hosted by Cuddlebuggery

Welcome to Jenuine Cupcakes Thank you Cuddlebuggery for organizing this Best Series Blog Hop! *cupcakes for everyone* I have quite a few series that I love but the one I chose to spotlight is The Sweet Series by Wendy Higgins.  Why?

"Clockwork Prince" (The Infernal Devices Book 2) ~ Cassandra Clare

Let's take a moment to drool over, I mean, appreciate the pretty cover, shall we? *sighs* Once again, Cassandra Clare has managed to suck me into her colorful story of adventure, intrigue, love, romance and excruciating heartbreak.  *clutches chest*  Normally, I blast through books in a few hours, but I purposely took my time with this one because I wanted to savor every minute with Will, Jem and Tessa but HOLY CUPCAKE!!  Could you find another way to rip my heart out, do a "stomp the yard" dance on it and throw it back at me with demon pox all over it?!  *clutches chest*  How anyone with a heart can NOT be "Team Will" after this book, I'll never understand but if they aren't, then I say, in the words of giddy Will, "A demonpox on all your houses!" OK, so that's a tad harsh but still. "Clockwork Prince" picks up right where "Clockwork Angel" leaves off, with Tessa still trying to discover who she is and what Mortma...
