Let Me (O'Brien Family, #2)

by Cecy Robson

We first learned about Finn and his troubled past in the Shattered series, so I knew he was broken. Finn is a rising star in the MMA world and he takes his pain out in the octagon. A locker room incident has him attending court appointed therapy and it is here he runs into Sol Marieles. Sol is Sophia’s friend and she has this sweetness about her. Sol is smart, witty and cares deeply. She is interning at the therapist's office where Finn is meeting his therapist. The chemistry is there, and I loved the banter between them. They have danced with their feelings for years since both families are friends around one.

OMG! Robson delivered all the FEELS in a one two punch. Robson tells the story in dual POV’s and getting inside their heads and understanding their feelings quickly connected me with their story. Finn’s damage and pain runs deep. I appreciated how in-depth the author was in sharing his problems. Sol is burdened by family problems but when the two of them interact, the sun shines a little brighter and you can see their pain lift. I love that Robson addresses Finn’s issues, that family and therapy are involved. Some emotional scenes had me wiping tears from eyes particularly at the arena and during an interview, Oh lord grab the truffles and the tissues my friends.

The romance was wonderful from the delicious banter between them to the sweet, steamy scenes that melted my kindle. We see growth in both characters and I loved the way it unfolded. This had a nice slow build to it, from shared confessions to teasing, wicked banter, and tender moments. Robson made it all feel genuine and had me rooting for an HEA.
