Dec 2020: re-read. Still wonderful.this book deserves a million stars. review to come. I’m just speechless right now. ugh.

4 Grown Up Stars! When she was a teenager, Shannon met a sweet boy that reminded her of a super-hero. It was 5 (amazing) minutes and then life went on and they never saw each other again. Until 9 years later…. Now, after a bad past and some (very) wrong choices, Shannon is starting again. She is looking for a new life and she swore bad-boys out of her life, because they’ve stumped her enough. What she didn’t expect is to find Cole 9 years later. But now he’s no longer a boy. He is a sexy tatto

Let me tell you a story about a boy.. his name is Cole Walker and soon he is going to become somebody's hero... Samantha Young does it again in an impressive way. Echoes of Scotland Street is my favorite book from the series, in which you can read the story of Cole and Shannon. Cole is Jo's brother from the second book, all grown up and ready to steal out hearts permanently. Shannon is newly introduced, but as soon as you'll meet her you will realize how good she is for Cole. First thing to keep...

Cole meets Shannon when they are fifteen years old and there is an immediate connection. Unfortunately, she has a boyfriend and doesn't even live in the same town. Fast forward nine years and Shannon moves to Edinburgh and gets a job as a receptionist at a tattoo parlor. You'll never guess who her boss is. I feel like I've been waiting for Cole's book forever, so I was thrilled that it was finally out. I was a bit disappointed that the story wasn't from his POV and we didn't even get a chapter.....

DNF so sad, I'm so disappointed :'(If this is going to be Cole's book then... can't wait for the buzzzzzz sound of the tattoo gun from Cole's hand or whatever he's going to use of those hands *ehem cough cough*

5 stars! "Cole. Cole Walker.""You sound like a hero." I LOVED IT!!!! Samantha Young is the one author where I don't care about the nitty gritty details, I love everything this woman writes and will most likely always give her books 5 stars. Echoes of Scotland Street is about Shannon, a girl who has been dating all of the wrong men and is tired of choosing the bad boys. After an extremely bad breakup that led to even more horrible things, Shannon finds herself moving from Glasgow to Edin

4.5 StarsCole and Shannon meet at the age of fifteen, and in those few minutes there is an immediate connection. Despite both of them being able to feel this connection, neither one of them knows what to do about it. So they both go on with their lives. Shannon gets in the car with her boyfriend, Cole leaves his friends house, and as far as they are both concerned they will never see each other again. Fast forward nine years and fate has other plans for them. Shannon is running…again. Simply put...

3 starsThere was one thing I liked about this book and that was Cole. He is the only reason I rounded up to three stars. Cole is the perfect combination of sweetheart and alpha caveman. I loved every thing about him. If this book was in his perspective, I might have liked it.That brings me to what I didn't like. Shannon. UUUgggh. It was like being in the head of an immature, judgmental teenager. I had heard that she could be annoying, so I was prepared for that. What I wasn't prepared for, was h...

3.5 I liked it but...stars!Welp! This is going to be one of those "I like it but..." reviews I don't enjoy writing. Nevertheless, it must be done. I liked this book. I really did. I read it straight through. It was short and unputdownable. But... it wasn't as heart-wrenching or as engaging as the previous books in the series. I've read all books in this series except Down London Road, and frankly, I just couldn't connect with this one. Shannon was a cool character but I couldn't connect with her...

This was an adult contemporary romance featuring Cole and Shannon.I liked Cole and Shannon in this, but I found it a little odd that the book wasn’t from Cole’s point of view as he was the one that we knew.The storyline in this was about Shannon getting a job at INKarnate and meeting Cole again (they first met when they were 15). Shannon was getting over a bad break-up, and didn’t trust Cole at first, and I got a little annoyed by the way she treated him. This was an okay story, but I didn’t lik...

“You’re worth every bad thing that’s ever happened to me, because going through them led me to you.” It’s rare to find a series that book after book never disappoints, never fails to capture my attention and make me fall head over heels in love with the characters, but On Dublin Street is not only one of these extraordinary instances, it is also a series that never stopped getting better and better. Two characters oh-so easy to love, an emotional storyline that kept me glued to my sea

3 starsShannon having had a string of failed relationships sworn off bad boys. When cocky tattooed Cole walks into her life as her new manager, will he win her over? I knew I had to read cutey Cole's book regardless reviews. Whilst it was an improvement from Hannah's book I wasn't blown away. Cole was a sweetheart!! Shannon was harder to like but she wasn't as bad as I thought she'd be.Overall I found it a bit too sickly sweet and cheese worthy towards the end. There was SY style sexy time bu...

4.5 Stars I’ve been a huge fan of Samantha Young’s On Dublin Street series and once again she amazes me with Echoes of Scotland Street, the fifth installment in this series. She captivates with multi-layered characters, sexual tension galore, and a satisfaction guaranteed romance!Shannon has moved to Edinburgh to get away from a very bad breakup. One of a long list of shady boyfriends, but this last one takes the cake, abusive and then some! This boyfriend not only shatters her self-confidence,

4.5 “Are you a hero, Cole Walker?” starsI love this series! Samantha Young has sucked me in over and over again with her emotion-filled love stories, and her absolutely sensational and swoon-worthy leading men. This woman has written some of my all-time favourite book boyfriends, and she’s done a wonderful job with Cole.The younger brother of Jo, we first met Cole as a lonely 14 year old in Down London Road. Well, he is now all grown up and he is tall, built, tattooed and gorgeously sexy. He is

4.5 stars!!

AUDIOBOOKThis was a good story. Another win for the Dublin Street series. But is it wrong to say that I wanted more for Cole? Chan, that’s like saying Shannon isn’t good enough for him. I know, I know, but that’s how I feel. Shannon is great and has a heart-wrenching past. She totally deserves a hero, but can’t it be somebody else? Can’t she have fallen for some other character? Anyway, I enjoyed the angst. There was also a nice twist on the female and male norms towards the end. Good read.

Originally Reviewed onConfessions of an Opinionated Book GeekI like flawed heroines. You will almost never read me calling a heroine whiney, because I like heroines with obsessions. I like when they obsess over the death of a loved one or when they don’t easily fall in to the arms of the hero. That being said, I hated Shannon. Despised her on almost every page of the book and it made the story difficult for me.Shannon has some traumatic things in her past that does garner sympathy, but it’s not

So much better than the previous one! I'm damn glad I gave this a chance! Review may or may not come whenever I get a new laptop!(My nephew broke my last one, which is why, among other reasons, I haven't been around at all.)

3 Wanna Slap you Shannon StarsWell, I guess the best way to describe my thoughts about this book would be with some My Little Pony gifs eh? Pinkie Pie says it all my friends. So this is Cole’s story, Jo’s little bro. Cole runs into Shannon when they were around 15 and sparks fly, the connection is instantly there. Shannon was such a sweet little doe-eyed teenager back then.Ahh but shiz changes right? After several failed relationships, her last one being quite the doozie, our Shannon has changed...
