What I Loved
The story opens
with Cole and Shannon meeting on Scotland Street as teenagers and even though it’s
just for a few moments the connection between them is instant. The plot takes place nine years later when
Cole and Shannon are all grown up and Shannon is looking to start a new life
away from her family and past by moving to Edinburgh. The minute Cole and Shannon lay eyes on each
other the attraction they once felt as teenagers comes back to life but things
have changed in Shannon’s life and Cole isn’t the type of man she’s looking for
anymore.
Cole has been easy to love from the
first time I met him in Down London Road and I was so excited to finally get to
his story. I didn’t know it was possible
to fall more in love with a character but I certainly did while reading this
book and Cole might just be my favorite male character in the series. Shannon on the other hand was a little hard
to love at first, but my heart went out to her so many times and as her story
progressed she was someone who I eventually warmed up to and loved just as much
as Cole by the end. I loved his patience
with Shannon, and how he was determined to show her just how special and
amazing she was no matter what anyone else said. The chemistry between them sizzled from the
very beginning and it increased with every page, I couldn’t wait for them to
finally give in to it all and start ripping of their clothes. The bond Cole and Shannon shared was so
amazing and I loved watching their relationship grow.
Not So Much
I really have no huge complaints, the
foundation for the plot and the character development was right on point. I do wish that there was more of a change in
the plot because it was very much the same as all the rest of the book in this
series. It made the story a little bit
more predictable than I would’ve liked but I was no less enthralled with the
plot.
To Sum It All Up!
Overall, this was another great story to
add to an amazing series. I thought the
plot was well thought out and developed, and there were no slow points or plot
holes. Like I said before I have loved
Cole for so happy for him to finally get his own happily ever after. I loved his tough hot guy exterior while at
the same time was such a loving and giving person that was proven repeatedly in
this book. Shannon walked into Cole’s
tattoo shop damaged from her past, and Cole became the man to show her there
were still some good guys left in the world. I loved the sexual tension between
them as they tried to deny the attraction they had towards each other because
is sucked you into the story even more, and I couldn’t wait for it all to
explode!
It was so amazing to watch their
relationship grow and to see the love they both had for one another grow. Cole was such an amazing boyfriend and I don’t
think there wasn’t a time that Shannon didn’t appreciate everything he did for
her. Of course, there were some dark
parts to this story as they both uncover certain truths about each other but I
loved watching them come out the other end of that.
No story in this series would be complete without the rest of
the gang showing up and they around a lot of times throughout the story and I loved
it. It’s so great to see all their
stories continue as the series grows and how their families have grown
too. I absolutely love this series and
Cole and Shannon’s story just added to why I love it so much. I was sucked right in to Shannon and Cole’s
story from the beginning and I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to them when it all
ended. Each book is filled with so much love and sense of family and support it
warms my heart every single time I pick up a new book in the series and Echoes
of Scotland Street was no different.
