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 New Adult 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.

********************
Evelyn has fallen from grace - once a rich kid to now fighting for every dollar she earns. She isn't liked by her co-workers because she is closed off and keeps to herself. When Mateo helps her out during one of her meltdowns, they start to get close. Mateo may be a hot badass fighter, but he is gentle and patience with Evelyn. Evelyn starts to open up and starts enjoying life, but she is plagued with nightmares and she doesn't know why. When she finally remembers what she has blocked out it will take time for her to heal. But will she be too damaged for Mateo to want to wait for? Mateo has his own slew of issues and when Evelyn see's them first hand he isn't so sure that they can make it work. The make out scenes were off the charts. The sex scenes were a mild but good.
Fabulous ending.
I fell in love with Brody in this book and I'm so excited to get his and Lety story in "Once Loved" coming in Jan 2015.
