More Joss and Braden??? SIGN ME UP! I loved, no...adored them in On Dublin Street. They are the reason I've begun my love affair with this series. So, when I saw that they were getting a novella, I had *jumpy clappy hands*!  And this novella was everything I had hoped it would be!In ODS, we saw Joss and Braden fall in love. However, their love story wasn't easy. They're both stubborn, fiery, and a bit guarded. Not to mention Joss's history. She has dealt with some serious pain in her life, so it was hard for her to let Braden in. Well, in this novella we get to see them happy and madly in love. We see the proposal, the wedding, and even the honeymoon. It's what happens once they get home that made my heart nearly stop.It's not that I was all that surprised at what was happening, but I was nervous that Joss would close herself up again. Surprisingly, Joss handled this new life moment fairly well. It was my broody Scot that didn't. Don't get me wrong, Braden is over the moon about the next chapter of their lives, but he also jumped to conclusions before really talking things out with Joss. Feelings were hurt and ego's wounded but in the end, their love for each other helped to resolve their lapse in communication.Overall, I loved this novella! It reminded me why I love this series so much. I also loved seeing that they were happy and moving forward, but I think it also told a very realistic view on relationships. They take work, no matter how in love you are. I'm having to back track a bit to get completely caught up in this series, but it's ok, because I'm enjoying every minute of it! If you loved On Dublin Street, this is a must read novella!Quotes: (So many to choose from. I love their banter!)~I wondered if he knew hat just watching him sleep made me scary happy, breathless even. I wondered if he knew that he was absolutely, without a doubt, everything to me.-Loc 43~"Everything but the ring," Braden murmured, his expression all smoldering as he leaned back against our front door, crossing his arms over his chest, and one ankle over the other. His pose said casual, possibly even bored. His eyes, however, were burning my not-even-naked-yet skin.-Loc 160~It was hard. It was deep. And it was beautiful. Just like always.-Loc 207
