Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of On Dublin Street comes a seductive story of forgiving the past and making up for lost time.…

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 wake-up call in the worst possible way. With her world shattered, she’s sworn off men—especially those of the bad-boy variety.

Cole Walker is exactly the sort that Shannon wants to avoid—gorgeous, tattooed, charming, and cocky. But his rough exterior hides a good man who’s ready to find “the one.” He’s determined to pull Shannon from her self-imposed solitude to win her heart.

As Shannon opens up in the face of Cole’s steady devotion, the passion between them ignites to blazing levels. But when Shannon’s past comes back to haunt her, her fears may destroy the trust Cole has built between them—and tear them apart for good.…

Michel’s Review

Echoes of Scotland Street by Samantha Young is the book that readers have been waiting for in the On Dublin Street series. The readers met Cole Walker in the earlier books when he was a teenager. Cole is all grown up and stealing our hearts as man now.

Cole and Shannon McLeod met when they were fifteen. Although it was a one time meeting , Cole never forgot the firey redheaded girl. Now they are back in each others paths and both have changed drastically.

Shannon McLeod has a gift of picking the wrong men. She has lost the ability to trust her own judgment where men are concerned. She comes across as a judgmental bitch. She has put up walls to keep men ten feet away.

Cole has always been intrigued with Shannon. When she comes to work at the tattoo parlor she completely turns him off with her pissy attitude. As the two work together and get to know one another their rocky beginnings start turning into a beautiful new relationship. Shannon will have to let her guard down and learn to trust her heart. Cole will have to make sure that her heart knows that he will always be there for her.

I loved the relationship between Cole and Shannon. Their relationship was a slow build that had readers enchanted with interactions. It was heartwarming and felt authentic. Their passion for one another was the perfect combination of warm & fuzzies and red hot romance.

This book was the perfect addition to the On Dublin Street series. It lived up to all the expectations readers had for the beloved Cole Walker. I am looking forward to the next addition to this series. I highly recommend Echoes of Scotland Street and On Dublin Street series. They will not disappoint.
