SYNOPSIS:
RT Book Reviews proclaims that the O’Brien Family series from award-winning author Cecy Robson “has the hottest brothers ever!” And in SAVE ME, it’s time for Seamus, the family’s most notorious bachelor, to find true love.
Three weddings. No date. What’s a hot stud to do when all the women on his speed dial are either serving dinner to their families or serving time?
Out of all the O’Briens, Seamus is the best-looking, most creative, and, did I mention, best-looking? Single at almost forty wasn’t a big deal until every sibling in his large and loud Irish family found “the one.” Now, he’s desperate for a wedding date, one he doesn’t have to worry will make out with the limo driver or rob the bride and groom blind.
Allie Mendes is the good daughter, who’s spent her life living in her perfect sister’s shadow. But when her sister steals the man Allie was supposed to marry, that shadow she’s lived in threatens to swallow her whole. Allie wants to believe a bright future awaits. But when she begs God to save her from this disastrous twist of fate, the last person she expects Him to send her is Seamus O’Brien.
Allie needs a stand-in boyfriend to avoid appearing as lonely as she feels. Seamus needs a decent woman without an ankle bracelet or a rap sheet as long as his muscular arms. The two make a deal to pose as each other’s perfect date. But weddings mean romance and a chance at forever neither had planned.
EXCERPT
Valentina rushes me. Her speed and movements inhumanly graceful. She throws her arms around me like
she would a long-lost friend and not the sister she hasn’t spoken to in years. She lifts me briefly, making
a grunting sound as if I weigh a more than I do.

Following an uncomfortably long embrace, she holds me out at arm’s length, staring down at me and
asserting her apparent superiority. “It’s so good to see you, Allie.” Her face softens like she wants to cry.
“Mom says you don’t have a date for the wedding. But don’t worry. Andy and I will find someone to take you.”

“Mom says you don’t have a date for the wedding. But don’t worry. Andy and I will find someone to take you.”
Andy? I slowly turn in Andres’s direction. Lovely.
I suppose it could be worse. I could be Andy.
“Did you hear that?” My mother asks, beaming. “Your sister and Andy are going to find
you someone so you don’t have to be all alone.”
They wait, expecting me to thank them. I’d rather stab myself in the eye with Valentina’s
pitchfork.
I lift my chin, meeting my sister square in the eye. “I have a date,” I reply.
“No you don’t,” my mother immediately interjects, making me feel worse because she’s
right.
I stand to my full height, ignoring how they tower over me, clinging with my teeth to whatever strand of dignity remains.
“Really?” Valentina asks. She tosses back her hair, fighting it seems to keep from full-out cackling. “And who might that be?
My breath leaves my lungs with an odd squeak as Seamus yanks me to him, pressing me into his large, firm body. His chin is
smeared with cream, chocolate stains the front of his shirt, and he has something stuck between his teeth. That doesn’t stop
him from flashing a smile with what remains of his pearly whites.

“How’s it going?” He smacks my ass and gives it a squeeze. “I’m Seamus. Allie’s boyfriend.”

| Final Score - 4.5 Bittersweet Stars! I've been reading this series from the very beginning and to see it all end, saddens me, but leaves with a profound sense of peace. My love for these characters and this series know no bounds! First introduced in another series, The O'Brien clan have made me laugh, made me ugly cry, and made me tear up with joy - all in the name of family. Family is what it's all about and no more so than for the main character in this story - Seamus O'Brien. He's got older brother, younger brothers and a sister, and he wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. To see them all happily settled in their personal lives makes he truly wish that he could find the same happiness. Enter Allie Mendes. Allie is also all about family - avoiding them that is. She loves her family, but in small doses, as they tend to not only bring her down, but make her feel insignificant and constantly berate her in favor of her much loved sister Val. A chance encounter at a a bakery may just be the thing to get her family off her back - and also a chance a HEA. Allie and Seamus - both struggling with family duty & obligations. They are like caterpillars struggling to become butterflies. Can these two lost souls discover their forever in each other? Cecy Robson had me from the get go! The emotions of her characters fly off of each page and just absorb you into their turmoil, thoughts, & lives. This was superb writing - the perfect combination of heart, humor, romance and sex appeal. Save Me is more than a tale of family, it's about finding your inner strength, standing up for yourself against those that would bring you down, and finding second chances where you least expect. |
