ONCE PURE
Shattered Past #3
Cecy Robson
Released May 19th, 2015
Loveswept


She bears the scars of the past. He blames himself for things he can’t control. Their defenses are up, but in Cecy Robson’s latest Shattered Past novel—perfect for fans of Monica Murphy and J. Lynn—true love lands a knockout punch.

Sofia Tres Santos remembers a time before her life went sour, before her innocence was ripped away, before she began punishing herself with risky behaviors and unworthy men. Now, at twenty, she just hopes she’s ready to rebuild some of what she lost. One way or another, it always comes back to her childhood friend and longtime crush, Killian O’Brien.

As strong as Killian is, Sofia has always been his one weakness. He knows Sofia has suffered and wants to ensure she’s never hurt again—not like before, and definitely not under his watch. When Sofia agrees to work at his mixed martial arts gym, Killian seizes the opportunity to help and protect the sweet girl he’s always cared for. And yet, as he trains Sofia to defend herself using his hard-hitting MMA techniques, he’s drawn to the vulnerable beauty in ways he never expected.

As Sofia grows stronger, she also grows brave enough to open herself up to love. And along the way, she challenges everything Killian believes to be true, showing him that no matter how much he dominates in the ring, the real battle is fought in the heart.

For me, ONCE PURE was a highly anticipated release because I was intrigued with Killian and Sofia from the beginning.  I wanted to know WHAT happened between them, or what was the link that held them together, and Cecy gives us that and so so much more!

On a side note, I can't wait for the O'Brien siblings to get their books, they are such a boisterous family who love each other but still can drive each other crazy, those are my favorite kinds!  I know their romances will be just as much fun as the Tres Santos Family was!

Aside from Killian and Sofia having some beyond excellent chemistry...get the fire hose ready ladies...there is a connection there, we don't know if it's love, if it's respect, if it's sisterly affection or guilt, but it is definitely something, and Cecy takes us on such an emotional ride with ONCE PURE, that I swear I started it and a moment later I felt as if I just tore through the pages until I was ripped open and raw with emotion.  Be prepared to go through the ringer with ONCE PURE.

With Cecy's signature recipe for romance [High-Emotion and Steamy in the Sheets], ONCE PURE was nothing short of perfection!

Once Loved
Shattered Past # 2
Cecy Robson
Releasing Jan 20th, 2015
Loveswept


He’s the campus golden boy. She’s picking up the pieces of her broken past. But in Cecy Robson’s scorching novel of second chances—perfect for readers of Monica Murphy and J. Lynn—their differences only make their connection more explosive.

Every memory Lety Tres Santos has from her childhood comes with a scar—some emotional, some physical. Her father is an abusive drug addict, and her mother enables his destructive behavior. College offers Lety a fresh start . . . until her father finds a way to ruin that, too. Now, after losing her scholarship to kick off junior year, Lety must somehow stay in school, pay tuition, and turn a deaf ear to the whispers that follow her. And she intends to do it all without Brody Quaid’s help.

Brody is a lacrosse star, a 4.0 student—and as a freshman, he fell hard for the beautiful and spirited Lety. But their relationship crashed and burned because he couldn’t break through the walls she’s put up around her heart. With Lety hurting more than ever, Brody strives to win her back and make her believe in real love and true partnership. That will mean opening up secrets locked away in his own past—and trusting someone more than he’s ever dared.

Lety knows how painful it can be to depend on the wrong man. She also knows how much Brody wants to do this the right way. But it takes more than sizzling desire to move on and build a future together.

Well....Cecy Robson does it again...she sucks me in, makes me feel and spits me out...but always leave me feeling truly happy inside...ONCE LOVED is a WIN in my book! 

ONCE LOVED centers on Lety, who we meet in ONCE PERFECT as one of Teo's younger sisters.  ONCE LOVED begins about a year after ONCE PERFECT, and is almost a reunion story between Lety and her ex-boyfriend Brody, whom she broke up with after a horrible experience involving her highly abusive father, Carlos (let's just say I have no  love lost for Carlos).  

ONCE LOVED is a true romance, which means it is NOT easy for these two to finally have their happily ever after.  Lety is a truly broken young lady, maybe not so much on the outside but on the inside and she doesn't want to drag Brody from his world of privledge into her world of abuse and violence that lingers and follows her with each step she takes.

Cecy gets down to the nitty gritty with ONCE LOVED, she writes the truth that many of us would like to sweep under the rug, but this is some peoples reality and she brings that to light.  I love Lety (I loved her from ONCE PERFECT).  She has spunk and sass and is just trying to make a better life for herself without the help of a man.  And my love Brody, he just wants to take care of her, and I love him all the more for it.  (and Brody is DEFINITELY up there for Book Boyfriend status)

Let me sum this up by saying that ONCE LOVED is a story of strength and justice, and a truly wonderful addition to the series.  I am SOOO looking forward to Sofia and Killian's book.

His life was never easy. Hers wasn’t supposed to be this hard. They come from different worlds, but fate lures them together in a way neither expected in Cecy Robson’s raw, steamy series debut—perfect for fans of Monica Murphy and J. Lynn.

Evelyn Preston’s future once looked perfect—until her wealthy father was caught in an embezzlement scandal and took his own life. Alone and struggling to pay her college tuition and bills, Evelyn finds a job as a waitress at the ultra-hip nightclub Excess, where she used to have more in common with the privileged private-school clientele than her fellow staff members. But something attracts her to the sexy six-foot-four bouncer and underground MMA fighter Mateo Tres Santos. Although they’ve led different lives, their troubled pasts bonds them in both survival and love.

Mateo is ex-army who wound up in prison for assaulting the man who harmed his sister. Now he’s feeling the same protective impulse for this petite blond waitress. When Evelyn experiences a panic attack at the club, Mateo comes to her rescue. And when Mateo is wounded shielding her from a brawl, Evelyn returns the favor and comes to his aid.

As their attraction intensifies, Mateo is determined to find out what nightmares are lurking in Evelyn’s past—even if that means tackling his own to save her.




This is what I consider to be a "want to hide in bed all day so I can just read one more page" kind of read.  ONCE PERFECT was...well...Just Perfect! If I didn't have two little ones, and work to do, I would have finished in one sitting...ahhh...I remember those days...

Back to the book, Cecy Robson got me hooked...line and sinker, and for those who are fans of movies like CRAZY BEAUTIFUL , the PERFECT CHEMISTRY Series by Simone Elkeles, and the TRUE Believers Series by Erin McCarty, you will SOOO want to grab a hold of ONCE PERFECT, clear the calendar and dive into the sexy, sweet, emotional, and sometimes horrific world that is Teo and Evie...Oh Mateo (yes, for all you ALL MY CHILDREN fans....the heroes name is MATEO and he likes some gringa too!)

In ONCE PERFECT, we get a little something different from what we keep seeing in the NA world.  We get a club atmosphere, a taste of Underground Fighting, and the madness that is the age we call New Adult and the "Shattered Pasts" that come to haunt you when you think you can escape it!

The story is truly emotional at times, silly at times, sexy at times, and all together AWESOME.  I can't WAIT to see where Cecy takes the Shattered Past Series, which I believe is Lety and Brody next (OH YEAH), and I HOPE Sofia and Killian after that (and my daughter is Sofia with an "f", so I like her even more).
