Loveswept: Flirt
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.
So
once again we are venture back in to the Santos lives, but this time we are
with Lety.
Lety
is away at a private college, on a scholarship, thankfully escaping the abusive
life with her father. Well she was, until her abusive father turned up at her
college and Lety lost her scholarship. Faced with having to go back home or
asking her brother and his wife for the money, Lety begs the Dean to allow her
to take on yet another job (because one job, being the RA and being a nursing
student is not enough), to allow her to come up with the extra 20 thousand
dollars all her grants do not cover. So she starts working for the Moore family
and the sweet little boy Tommy.
Suddenly
Brody (her boyfriend from her first year) pushes his way back into her life,
Lety is still very much in love with Brody and even though she doesn’t feel
worthy of him, they continue their romance. That is until Carlos comes back to destroy
Lety.
This
book is so beautiful and heart breaking all at the same time. Once Loved
literally had me on the edge of my seat all the way through. The subjects that
it deals with is not for the faint of heart, so this is not a soft New Adult
Romance, but a hard as nails, gripping the edge of your seat story of love.
The story
is well written and researched with no plot holes. I would recommend you read Once
Perfect BEFORE reading Once Loved as it will give you the insight you need.
Once Loved is an amazing story, one which I will read again and again, so it
earns 10 out of 10.
