Castle Hill: A Joss and Braden Novella (On Dublin Street) by Samantha YoungGrade: B+“Life isn’t perfect, we aren’t perfect, but I’m telling you now, Jocelyn, we’re indestructible. Stop shaking, and just marry me.”To say I love and am obsessed with the On Dublin Street series is an understatement. In Castle Hill we get a peek into what has been going on with Braden and Joss since On Dublin Street and their happily ever after. I love that things between these two are still great but not perfect. Joss is still Joss with all of her issues and fears and as things get more serious we see her still struggle with being happy and caring for people. Braden is still amazing and even though he has a big jerk moment in this book I still adore him and the way he treats Joss.I’m not sure about everyone else but whenever I start one of the On Dublin Street book I feel like I have to mentally and emotionally prepare with a xanax near by. These books are a gut wrenching, emotional rollercoaster that while can be very draining is still magical and beautiful. Samantha Young writes emotionally broken characters who are full of depth and you just want to hug until they are fixed. Castle Hill is no exception and we see that while these two are in love not everything is a fairytale.I don’t want to give anything away but if you are as big of a fan of this series and Joss and Braden you will love this book. I was so excited to see how their life together has progressed and how no matter what happens they are together through the good and the bad. I had one moment when I thought I was going to lose it right along with Joss and kept thinking “this is INTENSE” but once again these characters persevere and come out stronger than before. This is a must read series  and some of the most amazing and believable characters in romance.
