The #1 International bestselling author of On Dublin Street is back with this witty, emotional and steamy fake-dating sports romance in which ambitious entrepreneur, Beth Carmichael, meets her match in the grumpy football captain who moves into the apartment above hers.Imagine my surprise when my new neighbor turns out to be one of Scotland’s most famous (and hottest) professional footballers, Callan Keen. I’m even more shocked to discover that the brooding player is still holding a grudge for something that happened (or didn’t happen) between us years ago.Too busy trying to take my social media management company to the next level, I don’t have time for this gorgeous blast from the past. Or at least I shouldn’t. Yet whenever I see him, I can’t help but engage in a battle of wits with the grump upstairs.When a huge client opportunity arises, circumstances force me to enlist Callan’s help. I require a fake date and Callan needs me to facilitate a meeting with my dad to further his own business interests. The deal between us should be simple. Except, of course, the blazing chemistry we’ve shared since the moment we met. We can’t deny it, we can’t control it, and soon we’re agreeing to six weeks of no-strings-attached, mind-blowing, steamy shenanigans.I told myself I was too smart to catch feelings. But when Callan finally finds out the truth about our past, he becomes the guy I used to know. And that man is way too easy to fall for. The problem is that Callan has vowed to never let another person close enough to break his heart again. It just might prove impossible to show my stubborn Scotsman I’m worth the risk, especially when old wounds are re-opened and threaten to wreck any chance of a future together…

“I'll show you how good casual can be, princess.”
4.25 ⭐️ On Loverose Lane by Samantha Young reminded me just how much I love this authors writing, while also making me kick myself for not reading more of it.
“It was high school all over again: As soon as I realized Beth Carmichael existed, every other girl ceased to exist for me.”
This book is filled with so much bickering, banter, sass, and a found family I cannot wait to read more of! I’m calling Baird my new bestie; he’s the absolute best!
Beth and Callan barely got their romance started high school before it ended, leaving Callan with a chip on his shoulder. Fast-forward and now they’re neighbors, which Callan doesn’t like one bit, especially when Beth keeps making friends with his one-night-stands. But Callan can’t deny that Beth has permanent residence under his skin and he wants his shot. Beth already has so much to handle with her social media management business, so she can’t even think about a casual relationship, but that’s all Callan wants, whereas she’s craving a forever romance.
No one felt like her. Never had. I was totally lost in her.
Even thinking about this book again has me all giddy! I always love when author is able to balance sweet moments with the spice, and Samantha delivered! The vulnerable moments between Beth and Callan had me
