Samantha Young is an author I will always pick up, knowing that she will provide be with a swoon worthy romance that will fill my heart with the hope and joy! A Royal Mile is the second installment in Young’s On Dublin Street spin off series, giving the reader a charming new adult couple to root for. Young’s writing is clear and engaging, her characters are fresh and genuine, and seeing the children of beloved characters getting their HEAs is a true delight!

This is Sebastian and Lily’s romance that weaves together a bit of enemies to friends to friends with benefits to lovers in a seamless way that feels authentic and true to who these characters are and where they are in their lives. Young beautiful progresses their relationship in a natural way that the gravity of their relationship feels real and deep. These two are true soul mate who orbit each other, support each other and care for each other on this deep level that sometimes causes them pain. I really enjoyed watching them navigate their feelings for each other, and learning how to stand up for themselves when push comes to shove. Their romance is endearing, sweet and sensual all wrapped up in this sizzling package! I found that the development and growth of their relationship was perfectly paced in order to really build a foundation of trust for each of them to push the other out of their comfort zone and grow in themselves and together.

If you love a friends to lovers, this novel is a true treat, with a grad school, Scotland setting with the British royalty vibes. Samantha Young never disappoints me and this is a solid addition to her universe!
