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.
So
once again Cecy Robson brings us back in the world of the MMA fighters. But
finally we are at Killian and Sofia’s story (that for me has been LONG awaited!
So
Sofia is back and is working on Killian’s website and the old love re-blossoms
for the pair. They are still dealing with the old issues of Sofia’s father and
her rape, but together their love goes from puppy love to real love. That is
until old guilt rears its ugly head and destroys the progress they have made.
But it all comes to ahead when Sofia is faced with literally fighting for her
own life…does she survive? Or does she let fear over ride her again and
destroy her.
I have
to admit, I have been waiting for Killian’s and Sofia’s for what seems like
FOREVER, but boy the wait was worth it. The raw power and emotion in this book
at times reduced me to tears and other times, had me cheering…which lead to
some funny looks in Barnes and Noble, but what can I say, I am a passionate
reader.
The
writing is amazing, gripping and passionate! What I am about to say may sound a
little confusing, but I have found that some books are all about the plot and
the characters don’t quite fit into the story. In Once Pure the characters are
the story, everything goes at its own pace and nothing happens till the
characters are developed enough to handle that situation, which makes this book
simply perfect.
I give
once pure a very solid 10 out of 10! A truly amazing read!
