Samantha Young - biography
Samantha Young is a popular Scottish writer who chose the genre of a heartfelt love story with elements of eroticism for her work. She was born in 1986 in the historical region of Scotland, Stirlingshire, where she lives today. According to Samantha, while studying at school, she stood out from the crowd of her peers with a craving for learning, which made her classmates consider her a little strange. After school, the girl entered the University of Edinburgh and left its walls as a graduate in medieval and ancient culture.
Even in her student years, Samantha made a promise to herself that she would be a writer. The genre with which she decided to start her career is teenage fantasy. The first books in the style of young adult (there were about ten of them) did not bring the girl loud fame, and she continues to experiment in literary work. Yang stops at "adult prose" - a love story with an erotic component. In 2012, the debut work of the author in a new role called “On the street of our love” saw the light of day.
The work was a resounding success and soon developed into a trilogy of the same name. The rest of her parts, “City of My Love” and “On the Road to Our Love,” went out of print in 2013 and 2014. This epic was joined by other works of the author - the stories "Christmas on Dublin Street", "Halloween on Dublin Street", "The City of Our Hope" and other short stories that have not yet been translated into Russian.
A feature of this series is the logical completeness of each of its books. In all subsequent parts, new storylines are revealed, but the writer does not let the reader out of the previously created world: the main and secondary characters are constantly changing places. Thus, the reader plunges headlong into the atmosphere of love and passion, unraveling together with the characters a tight tangle of emotions and studying all facets of their life, relationships and character. The above stories, written after all the main works of the series, again return readers to the heroes of the first book, Joss and Braden, and tell about the events that occurred after their wedding.
The novel "On the street of our love" is considered the most popular and best book of the Scottish writer. Immediately after publication, he hit the top lines of reader ratings and was on the bestseller list according to the New York Times magazine. This work of a talented novelist was twice a contender for the prestigious Goodreads Choice Award for Best Author and Best Romance. Samantha admits that readers are her main inspirations and teachers. She listens to their opinions and criticisms, is inspired by their positive feedback and diligently comes up with new exciting stories.
All Samantha Young's books are heartfelt love stories, complemented by beautiful erotic scenes. The “highlight” of the author is the lively and deep images of the main characters, causing a real whirlwind of emotions. Before presenting them with true love and a calm, measured life, fate tests them for strength. It is interesting that love and passion turn the established world of the main characters upside down - they begin to collect it bit by bit and rethink many life values. The pages of the writer's books combine cynicism and spiritual romance, frank sex scenes and psychologism, biting humor and serious life vicissitudes. In each of Samantha's works, these contradictory things merge into a single picture called "life" - and the result is a motley and very realistic tale about the search for happiness by the main and secondary characters.
Today, Samantha Young actively continues her writing career. By 2017, the British novelist's creative collection included more than twenty works, but only seven of her works were published in Russian.

And so it was until Valentine's Day.
The last thing Hazel could have expected was to be caught with her pants down by handsome guy Liam Brody. But the universe seems to have decided to play a trick on her: all day long forcing her to intersect with this insanely sexy man.

On Dublin Street/On Our Love Street #1.2
A funny story about the Braden-Joss couple's Halloween celebration.
The truth burns through her life, trying to reduce her to ashes. Ahri will have to contend with ancient dangerous creatures, family problems and heartbreaking romantic relationships.
Samantha Young was once known as a teen writer. Her fantasy stories were quite interesting, but not particularly popular. The real fame for the girl was brought by a novel written in a completely different genre and for a different audience.
"On the street of our love"
Samantha Young decided to write not the usual fairy tale story, but a kind of fairy tale for adults - a love story. And it suddenly became a world bestseller.
The main character of the book is the young and attractive Josselyn Butler. She is only 22, but she is already quite wealthy and can live as she wants. But she can't enjoy life. Eight years ago, her parents and younger sister died in a car accident, and Joss's past can't let go. Or she's not ready to let him go.
Because of painful memories, the girl develops a phobia: she is afraid of any close relationship. Not only love, even friendship. After all, if you let someone get too close, then it will hurt too much to lose. And Joscelyn decides to just not allow this and not go beyond the limits set for herself.
When a friend moves to England, the girl looks for a new roommate to fill the void and brighten up her loneliness. Ellie fully justifies her expectations and even more: thanks to her, Joss meets an incredibly attractive guy. The plot does not shine with originality, but Samantha Young managed to beat it in an interesting way.
Braden is 30, rich, handsome and, of course, sexy. Few can resist the charm of this heartthrob. But Joss seems to be able to do it. “No serious relationship,” the girl insists. And Braden agrees. He himself has unpleasant memories that poison the present. But if not a serious romance, then what? An affair? No, the relationship is almost contractual. Without obligations and attachments, just sex. Joscelyn agrees. But will they be able to play by the rules, or will they try to cross the line?
Samantha Young. "City of my love"
The second novel of the writer aroused great interest. Readers hoped that this was a continuation of the first story. However, it is not. Samantha Young introduces new characters, and their story is no less interesting than the previous one.
Joanna Walker from childhood used to take care of her family, which she considered her younger brother. After the father left the house, the mother did not care about the children at all, and the girl had to take everything upon herself. She tried her best, often pushing her own desires into the background to please her brother. Even boyfriends Jo chose those who were nice to Cole. And, of course, wealthy, so that they could help her.
And Joanna didn't think it was wrong. Everyone survives the best they can. And that was her way of staying afloat.
Meeting Cameron turns Joe's whole world upside down. He's handsome, sexy, smart, and he seems to like her. But ... Is it worth the risk and give up the usual way of life for the sake of some kind of novel? Even with the man of my dreams.
Samantha Young gave her fans a nice bonus in this book: they will meet again on the pages of old acquaintances - Joss and Braden.
"On the way to our love"
Another charming story, just as light and sparkling as the previous ones. Samantha Young writes books in such a way that each subsequent one tells about minor characters already familiar to the reader. So here.
Olivia is smart and beautiful, but very shy. All her novels end before they start, because the girl simply cannot give them a chance and overcome her complexes.
After moving to a new place of residence, she decides to try again and overcome her own shyness. Especially when she meets the man of her dreams. The only thing left to do is to start offensive tactics. That's the whole point: how?!
The girl decides to seek help from a friend. He is still a libertine and is well versed in the rules of flirting. Of course, Nate agrees to help, but instead of an innocent education, he becomes an insidious seducer who breaks Olivia's heart.
Fortunately, the guy catches himself in time and realizes that he made the greatest mistake, and Olivia is the girl of his life. Now he has to win the beauty's heart again and convince her that he is serious. After all, the time for games is over when it's time for love.
Instead of an afterword
In addition to these books, Samantha Young wrote more short stories "The City of Our Hope", "Christmas on Dublin Street", "Halloween on Dublin Street", returning readers to the very first book and the Joss-Braden couple.
Brief sketches show what awaits the heroes after the coveted ring is put on their finger.
If you liked the way Samantha Young writes, the books can be found in digital libraries, but some of them are only available in amateur translation.
