The New York Times bestselling author of On Dublin Street and Down London Road returns with a story about letting go of the past and learning to trust in the future…

When Hannah Nichols last saw Marco D’Alessandro, five long years ago, he broke her heart. The bad boy with a hidden sweet side was the only guy Hannah ever loved—and the only man she’s ever been with. After one intense night of giving into temptation, Marco took off, leaving Scotland and Hannah behind. Shattered by the consequences of their night together, Hannah has never truly moved on.

Leaving Hannah was the biggest mistake of Marco’s life, something he has deeply regretted for years. So when fate reunites them, he refuses to let her go without a fight. Determined to make her his, Marco pursues Hannah, reminding her of all the reasons they’re meant to be together.…

But just when Marco thinks they’re committed to a future together, Hannah makes a discovery that unearths the secret pain she’s been hiding from him, a secret that could tear them apart before they have a real chance to start over again….

I really love this series. I always recommend it to my family and friends. I know Samantha is a phenomenal storyteller and I can always count on her for a great adventure. I forget about real life, about anything and everything around me. These characters become real to me. The way she describe them, they become more like friends rather than fictionals. So I always jump in at the opportunity to review her books.

In Echoes of Scotland Street is the story of Shannon and our lovely character from previous books, Cole. (YES, FINALLY!!!) I've been patiently waiting for his story and here it is! Far From India Place and Echoes of Scotland Street are by far my favorites of this series. I’ve grown attached to Hannah and Cole. I’ve “watched them grow” to these beautiful characters and I am so happy that they found their happily ever after. Thank you, Shannon!

As I mentioned before, Echoes of Scotland Street is the story of Shannon and Cole. Shannon is such a fun and feisty character. Though her past has harden her, once you get to truly meet her, she will become such an extraordinary character. Thankfully, Cole met this warm and sweet side of her before.

Nothing in life is better than to meet the one that you are meant for. This is how this story begins: when teen Shannon and Cole meet for the first time. Their chemistry is so intense that their first meeting will bond them until they meet again. Now grown, Shannon’s world is shattered and is hiding from people. She wants nothing but to forget her past and start over. Shannon is so broken that she doesn’t let her guard down. She trust noone. On her first day of work, she meets her hero. The hero she met ages ago - the one that will tear her guard down.

Though you can read Echoes of Scotland Street as a standalone, I highly recommend that you start from the beginning. Trust me, his story will have so much meaning if you do. You will be laughing at Shannon’s thoughts toward him when she meets him for the second time. She had no idea of what this beautiful broken character had to put up with. You will feel part of his family and you will want Shannon to prove herself to be worthy of Cole.

Filled with such intense chemistry and heartfelt moments, Samantha’s books are truly enjoyable. She always finds a way to weave into your heart and leave her magic within. Thank you Samantha. Thank you for sharing this incredible story of Cole. Fans of Cole, like myself, will be overjoyed with happiness. As always, I look forward for next book of this series.
