A review by amandalynn6
On Loverose Lane by Samantha Young

4.25

I didn’t read the original On Dublin Street series, I’m newer to Samantha Young, and while I’ve read one or 2 of her regular romances, I’m a fan by way of her romantic suspense series. I will of course have to change that, but I don’t think you need to have read that series in order to start her second generation series. While there’s a lot of lore, and a lot of names, I never felt lost, or like any of that overpowered Beth and Callan’s love story. 
This was second chance, which is never my favorite, but I don’t mind it here, the reasons they broke up the first time made sense, as did their forgiveness as adults. Samantha is good at that, and if she keeps writing second chance, and I keep reading, and liking it, I may have to stop saying I don’t do second chance, the horror! 
Callan was broody and moody, and perfect, and I loved how jealous he was, but also that he mostly controlled himself. Beth is awesome, and I loved her. I also really loved the anxiety rep here, it was really well done, and I appreciated the conversation Beth and Callan had after she admitted to him she was on meds for it, and he said another player was on them as well, and that doesn’t make him less than, so why would she think she was? Sometimes we need a little help, and I love seeing that represented in books. 
Overall I really loved this one, and also realized just how much of Samantha’s backlist I have to get through 😅
