About this audiobook
From the New York Times bestselling author of On Dublin Street and Down London Road comes a new novella about finding love in familiar places…
Ellie has been in love with Adam Sutherland for as long as she can remember. What started as a childhood crush on her older brother's best friend soon bloomed into full-blown infatuation. Unfortunately, it also meant full-blown heartache, as Adam refused to fall for Braden's little sister.
But it took a crisis to make Adam realize he's wasted too much time denying his feelings for her. Unwilling to waste a second more, he decided to make Ellie his, no matter the consequences. Now happily settled with the woman he's pined after for years, he's about to find out what their ten year courtship was like for her, through the journals she kept during their ups and many downs. And though Adam may have Ellie now, he has no idea how close he came to losing her…
Includes a preview of Down London Road!

Reviews for Until Fountain Bridge
78 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed Young's use of the diaries to tell Ellie and Adam's story. The story starts in the present and takes jaunts to the past. I thought that I would have enjoyed in starting in the past and working up to the present. But, it made complete sense the way it was written. It was taken from Ellie's point of view since she wrote the diaries, but the reader feels Adam's emotions through those moments as well. We also feel his emotions and hear his thoughts when the couple comes back to the present. I actually would have rated the story higher if a bit more focus had been placed on Ellie's sickness and recovery. But, as it was, Until Fountain Bridge was a very sweet read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was good but not great.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I loved Ellie and Adam already in the first book and I'm so glad they got their own. Great and lovely addition!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Oh man. I love this series, but this novella is so boring it's borderline unreadable. I'd skip this, but read the rest of the series if I were you.
It really is terribly dull. Such a bummer. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a wonderful continuation of the ODS series. I love Ellie and adored her with Adam, when he finally got his head out of his @ss and came to terms with his love for Ellie. The narration brought the story to life for me and I enjoyed the female narrator even when she spoke the male parts.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5FTC disclosure. I requested this book from NetGalley because I adored the first in the series. I have no relationship with the author.
This is the story of Adam and Ellie. It begins after On Dublin Street but shows the story of them throughout their relationship which is from a much younger age. I loved it and found it incredibly sweet and sexy; it is a lovely addition to the series J
This tale is told through Ellie’s memories, accessed through her diary. This was a very effective way to bring me straight into the heart of the tale but I did feel that Adam got a raw deal from this method as I irritated with him repeatedly! It was a bit of a biased view of their romance.
Ellie discovered that she had feelings for Adam at the young age of 14. It is fair to say he did not reciprocate at first. When his feelings start to morph into something other than friendship, he goes on a self-destructive mission to sabotage any further chance they may have at a relationship. Through misguided loyalty to her brother, he proceeds to spend his time sending her mixed signals and sticking knives into her heart; he really pissed me off. I loved Ellie throughout this short, her transition from awkward teenager to woman shown beautifully through her diary entries. I enjoyed her character in ODS but I loved her after this.
Adam wasn’t such a bad man and he did wise up. I felt for him as he truly felt conflicted about his attraction towards her. I wanted to smack him around the head and wise him up a few times but the modern day Adam is truly apologetic for his behaviour. I loved him and his eventual awakening... so cute!
Overall, this is a lovely novella that gave me a deeper insight into some of the happenings that occurred in ODS. I truly adored this very sweet romance which blossomed over time between two very dear friends. Well recommended.
