Spoiler DisclaimerSynopsisBraden Carmichael and Jocelyn Butler share their first Christmas together as a couple, exchanging meaningful gifts and spending time with family. ReviewAn On Dublin Street Christmas is a holiday-themed short story featuring Braden and Jocelyn that takes place nearly a year after the close of their story in On Dublin Street. It's the first Christmas they've actually spent together, since they were broken up during the previous holiday season. Jocelyn recalls the sexy way in which Braden woke her up that morning. Then they exchange meaningful gifts with each other, followed by a family celebration at Ellie's parents' house. This was a pretty short story of only about six pages, but I enjoyed seeing Braden and Jocelyn a while after their HEA, still going strong. It was also nice to see that Jocelyn has made progress on her issues and although she still misses her family, it's become a little easier for her to see photos of them and remember the good times. I particularly like the thoughtful gifts that Braden gave her. Overall, this was a nice little extra for fans of the series. An On Dublin Street Christmas is available as a free online read or it can be found in the anthologies On Dublin Street: The Bonus Material and On Dublin Street: The Novellas. VisitThemes |

Sensuality Rating Key
1 Heart = Smooching
May contain mild to moderate sexual tension and/or possible implications of something more taking place off canvas, but nothing beyond kissing actually occurs within the text. Our take: These books would be appropriate for teen and sensitive readers.
2 Hearts = Sweet
May contain moderate to high sexual tension which could include passionate clinches that end in cut scenes and/or extremely mild love scenes with virtually no details. Our take: These books should still be appropriate for most mature teens and sensitive readers.
3 Hearts = Sensuous
May contain moderately descriptive love scenes, usually no more than three. Our take: Teen and sensitive readers should exercise caution.
4 Hearts = Steamy
May contain a number of explicitly descriptive love scenes. Our take: Not recommended for under 18 or sensitive readers.
5 Hearts = Scorching
May contain a number of explicitly descriptive love scenes that typically include explicit language and acts which some readers may find kinky and/or offensive. Our take: Definite adults only material, not for the faint of heart.
