The O’Brien Family Book Two

available now for only 99¢ at
Once, he was broken beyond repair. Now this MMA
contender is fighting to be a better man—for her. RT Book Reviews proclaims
that the O’Brien Family series from award-winning author Cecy Robson “has the
hottest brothers ever!” And in LET ME, it is Finn’s turn to discover how love
can heal the deepest wounds.
A mixed martial arts
star on the rise, Finn O’Brien dismantles his opponents with brutal precision.
And yet beneath his fierce persona, Finn is raw from a trauma he’s buried for
years . . . until the day his deep-rooted rage erupts and lands him in
court-mandated therapy. Finn’s not one to bare his soul, but if talking it out
means meeting beautiful women like Sol Marieles, he’ll give it a shot.
Sol is working toward
her master’s degree in psychology, and already she feels like she’s in over her
head. With an important internship on the line and a scary family situation
demanding her attention, the last thing Sol needs is Finn around to distract
her. The man is ripped and seriously sexy yet it’s his troubled side that warns
her to keep her distance. But their attraction is intense, and he clearly has
the heat to see how far and fast their passion takes them.
Alone, Finn and Sol have
been fighting to find happiness in their lives. Together, there’s no stopping
them as they face their greatest challenges—not in the ring, but in their
hearts.
EXCERPT:
The heavy door to the
lobby opens with a loud smack, drawing attention to those waiting to be seen.
The counseling center is private and held in high regard. The majority of our
clients come from money, but a few of our therapists work pro bono, counseling
those from working class backgrounds similar to mine. Some are like Loretta,
suffering from eating disorders and mild anxiety issues. But the majority are
severely damaged individuals with suicidal tendencies. I catch sight of one of
our more heartbreaking cases sitting in the corner beside his father. Poor kid,
he can’t be more than fifteen. And there he waits with his wrists bandaged down
to his elbows.
I want to walk over and
give him and his dad a hug. Both look like they could use one. Those people on
the street who offer free hugs to strangers? I’m one of them. I always have
been.
Today though, I refrain,
staying focused on Loretta. “Good job,” I tell her, knowing how hard she’s
trying. “I’ll see you next week.”
“Sol?”
I turn my head. I know
that voice. Loretta doesn’t bother with a goodbye, leaving me instead with a
“Mm, yummy” when she sees who called to me.
“Yummy”. Yes, that about
sums up Finn.
Finn O’Brien, damn. You know those cute guys . . .
those really hot kind of cute guys? Finn blows them away. I’m not typically
attracted to redheads, but I make the exception for Finn. Oh, and Jamie from Outlander.
Finn has the whole bad
boy thing going on, tats crawling along his muscular arms, hair buzzed on the
sides and short on top. A modern Mohawk, it think that’s what it’s called. Oh,
and don’t get me started on that dimple on his right cheek that appears when he
grins, just like he’s doing now.
“Hi, Finn,” I say. His
brother is with him, the one that looks the most like him. He’s older by a few
years, handsome, polished, perfect. Well, if you like that sort of thing. Me?
Did I mention how sexy Finn is?
His light blue eyes
sparkle as I pass Zorina, the poor girl trapped in her own world following a
brutal assault on the train. She pretends to play instruments that aren’t
there, reality slipping so far from her grasp, it’s almost out of her reach.
I tilt my head in the
direction of Finn’s brother because by now it’s obvious I’m gawking at Finn.
“You’re Seamus, right?” I ask.
“No, I’m Declan,” he
answers in a deep voice.
Oh, right. The district
attorney. “Sorry. I know that Finn has a few brothers,” I offer. I should be
impressed seeing how Declan has made quite a name for himself in the political
arena, and I am. But Finn is who lures my attention and keeps it, despite my
best efforts to appear more relaxed. “What are you doing here?” I ask.
He shrugs. “Waiting for
you.”
Declan sighs, moving
away from us and reaching for his phone. I grin even though I’m sure Finn is
feeding me a line. The last time I saw him was at my cousin Sofia’s wedding.
I’d brought my friend Alex as my date and Finn, well, he showed up with some
girl with big breasts and very little clothes. And funny enough, I still had a
hard time keeping my eyes off him.
“Really?” I ask.
“Yeah. Really,” he
answers, leaning back on his heels and making a show of checking me out. “Don’t
forget, you still owe me a kiss.”
