Review: Moonlight on Nightingale Way by Samantha Young

Moonlight on Nightingale Way by Samantha Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm so glad Logan got a story before the series ended,he was and intriguing character that we really didn't get to know in Echos of Scotland Street. That being said the construction of this book was a bit different than the other books in the series. Most of the books focus on the instant attraction of the two main characters and the development of their relationship, inevitably something happens and one of them hurts the other and they break up only to realize they are madly in love and can't live without each other. In this book, our two main characters, Grace and Logan, don't really like each other for the first part of the book. Logan receives some very surprising news one day while arguing with Grace again, and Grace finds herself swept up in his life. I liked the different take on this, Grace and Logan's relationship grows into a friendship and then into something more. They've always been attracted to each other and they acknowledge that there was always something there, so when they finally decide to be together it is pretty explosive and more than just lust.

They both have baggage, and that causes the hurt they both cause each other that threatens to split them up, but if you've read Samantha Young or any book in this series before, you know they won't be apart for long. With the help of the entire cast of On Dublin Street to help them figure it out, they come together live happily ever after. In the end, Grace learns to stand up for herself and the abuses from her past caused by her awful family. She finds herself surrounded by the family she has always wanted. Logan learns that he is a fierce protector and that he will do anything to protect those he loves, while he saved his sister Shannon from an abusive boyfriend and paid a 2 year prison term for it, his sentence is over and he is worthy of happiness.

I really enjoyed the epilogue, it was a homage to all the couples we've seen in the series and brings a sort of closure to each one of them.  It is a nice send off to the series.  I've been with this series since Samantha published On Dublin Street since the beginning.  My copy of ODS is the self published version and I couldn't be happier that this series has had so much success.  I love Samantha's books, her self published YA stuff is amazing and I can't wait to see what she brings us next.
