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.”
