Once Loved - Cecy Robson

This is the second book in the Shattered Past trilogy. It is about Lety, the younger sister of Mateo from the first book. She is a college student from an abusive home trying to get away from the abuse, and Brody, the easy going millionaire that she meets and falls in love with. Lety met and fell in love with Brody during their freshman year. Due to the tragedy that is her family, she broke up with him, feeling she wasn't good enough to date him. They run into each other during their third year and Brody is able to convince her to give them another try. While she is determined to make it through school with help from nobody, she learns that Brody's life wasn't nearly as perfect as she thought. As she gets more and more involved with him and his family, she decides to break a serious family tradition and fights back against the abuse of her father.  I really liked getting to know Lety in this book after meeting her in the first book. She is very strong-willed and stubborn, fighting to overcome her upbringing and not lean on anyone, even if it means losing the one she loves. While upfront, Brody appears to not have a care in the world, he is actually shown to be a kindred soul to Lety, hiding a lot of pain and anger. He knows she is the one that can heal him and he's determined to make her let him heal her as well.
