Fall From India Place by Samantha Young (On Dublin Street #4) Released: June 3, 2014 Contemporary Romance Penguin Reviewed by Mandi Oh this book - *bangs head on the table for a few minutes* Okay, I'm ready now.

Down London Road by Samantha Young (On Dublin Street #2) Released: May 7, 2013 Contemporary Romance Penguin Reviewed by Mandi and Tori Mandi: After really enjoying Samantha Young’s adult debut last year, On Dublin Street, I was intrigued to see what she would do in her second book.
