Samantha Young has did it again!! However, with these book these is never any doubt that they will be good. Fall From India Place is fast paced, exciting, hot and freaking emotional!!
Fall from India Place takes place around 5 years or so after the end of Before Jamaica Lane. And our main protagonist is Hannah Nichols, Braden's wee sister. At first I will admit I found it a little strange reading about Hannah. Not in a bad way. It was just I was used to reading about her in the previous books as a kid. And here she was all grown up. Hannah, I loved in the previous books. She was a sweet and confident kid. However, 5 years on she is a shadow of her former self. She is very work focus to keep herself busy. She doesn't let guys get close to her because she is still not fully over what happened between her and Marco all those years ago.
Marco regrets leaving Hannah 5 years ago. But when they meet accidentally he is determined to win her back. His heart is in the right place with trying to win her back. But at times it does come across a bit stalker like. He is mad about Hannah and just when there is hope that things will work out their little world is blown apart by secrets that they are both keeping. I adored Marco, I was rooting for him to make it work with Hannah. He has that bad boy appeal, but he is sweet and of course sexy has hell! And there is one thing that makes him even more adorable in my opinion that I will not reveal because it will spoil a massive part of the story!!
Aside from Hannah and Marco, we get to catch up on all the characters from the previous books. The group is still has tight and awesome as ever. Even though it's 5 years on and their life's are different. They are still the same in way. Which was nice. Then there was Cole! I had the biggest soft spot for Cole. He was such a sweet and lovely kid. Here is all grown up and still adorable. The relationship between him and Hannah is perfect. Over the years they had grown close and become best friends. At first I was hoping that there would be something romantic between them but I am so glad that didn't happen. It just wouldn't work.
Fall from India Place is a lot shorter than the previous books. But it still has all the right elements to make it an outstanding and gripping read. It has the right balance between serious and fun. Of course it wouldn't be an "On Dublin Street" novel without it being emotional. I think this one I cried the most at. I have cried at every book so far. And not just a tear. I mean full blown sobbing. Fall from India Place turned me into a sobbing mess, snot and all! My heart actually ached while reading the book. I felt the heartbreak Hannah was going through because in a way I could relate to her. So it was a very emotional read.
Overall, I can not recommend this book enough! If you have been reading the series you have to pick up this instalment for your next fix! If you still haven't started on this series. Where have you been?? Go now and get start. Samantha Young is an amazing writer and will you hooked from page one.

Description:
When Hannah Nichols last saw Marco D’Alessandro, five long years ago, he broke her heart. The bad boy with a hidden sweet side was the only guy Hannah ever loved—and the only man she’s ever been with. After one intense night of giving into temptation, Marco took off, leaving Scotland and Hannah behind. Shattered by the consequences of their night together, Hannah has never truly moved on.
Leaving Hannah was the biggest mistake of Marco’s life, something he has deeply regretted for years. So when fate reunites them, he refuses to let her go without a fight. Determined to make her his, Marco pursues Hannah, reminding her of all the reasons they’re meant to be together.…
But just when Marco thinks they’re committed to a future together, Hannah makes a discovery that unearths the secret pain she’s been hiding from him, a secret that could tear them apart before they have a real chance to start over again
