RT Book Reviews proclaims that the O’Brien Family series
from award-winning author Cecy Robson “has the hottest brothers ever!” And in Crave Me, it’s time for the sole sister
in the family to discover love.
Wren O’Brien isn’t your typical female. As the only girl from a loud Irish family with seven siblings, she prefers fast cars to lip gloss and bad boys to good men. It’s the reason she’s nursing a wounded soul and keeping her distance from a dangerous ex.
Evan Jonah is running an empire and just moved from the lavish thoroughfares of London to the gritty streets of Philadelphia. When he walks into the nearest dealership, he’s expecting to find a reliable vehicle to handle the brutal winters, not a sexy female car rep with killer legs.
Wren doesn’t know why “Hotness in a Suit” asked her out. She doesn’t expect a great time or a night of passion that knocks her on her ass. But that’s exactly what Evan shows her.
She also never counted on how hard and fast she’d fall. But men like Evan—good men with even better hearts—don’t desire tough-talking Philly girls for long.
Evan has never met a woman like Wren. But he’s up for the challenge and ready to prove her wrong.

“Get the
hell out of here.”
Evan lowers his plastic menu, laughing softly at my remark. When he first walked into the dealership, I couldn’t quite figure him out. The sides of his cashmere coat parted when he moved, exposing what has to be a very pricey suit. But while he’s clean shaven, he’s not exactly clean-cut.
His dark wavy hair curls around his ears, long enough that I can tell he’s overdue for a trip to the barber, but not so long he appears unkempt. I take another long look at his straight nose, broad shoulders, and perfect posture. No, he’s not unkempt. He’s cute. Damn cute if you like pretty boys with deep green eyes with specks of gold and a jawline angels must have chiseled from granite.
“I’m serious,” he tells me, the way he looks at me taking him from damn cute to sexy. “I’ve never eaten a cheesesteak.”
I reach for the iPad tucked in the bag at my feet to give me an excuse to break away from those pretty eyes and thick lashes that curl at the tips. “So when I asked you if you wanted to go out for steaks, you weren’t picturing enough flat screens to fill a cruise ship and Yeung-Ling on tap?”
“Is Yeung-Ling a beer?” he asks.
I cringe, setting my iPad in front of me. “Oh, Evan, you have a lot to learn if you plan on staying in Philly for the long haul.”

This is the third book in the series and I would highly recommend that you read them in order. That said, this could be read as a standalone, or as a first visit to the family and then go back.
Wren has six brothers. It is difficult not to be affected by that! She chose to be a strong, confident person and, in spite of a difficult relationship with her father, she has made a good life for herself. When she sells Evan a car, she cannot deny there is a spark which she is keen to explore. That said, she is still struggling with the fallout of her terrible last relationship.
Evan is working incredibly hard to save his business. Having been in the UK for many years, his interests in the US have been badly managed and needs every hour he has to try and restore its fortunes. The last thing on his mind was romance, but meeting Wren turns his world upside down.
There is no shortage of plot, with Wren's past and the work to save the business taking up so much time that it is impressive that they find time for romance – but oh, they certainly fall into a wonderful, passionate relationship.
Whilst Wren's family are present in the story, they do not supplant the leads. It works really well, having them as supporting cast, and they embrace Evan and his obvious love for their sister. It was refreshing not to have them reacting badly, and makes for a new take on the protective brother genre.
We get a few hints as to who is likely to be the next O'Brien to fall in love. I can't wait for Ms. Robson to serve it up for our reading pleasure.

Another fantastic book from the O’Brien series! 4.5 well-earned stars!
Erin O’Brien, aka Wren, is a woman who knows just what she wants. Having grown up in a huge Italian family, she’s loud, crass, and downright awesome. Evan is a nerdy businessman who is putting everything he’s got into turning his company into a success. I love the way their story progresses, the attraction is immediate, but Evan is shy and asking Wren on a date is a struggle for him at first. The two’s biggest challenge is time, they’re never able to spend any together because of Evan’s work schedule. Then Wren gets a stalker who destroys her work, prompting her to need a new job at the same time that Evan’s assistant gets the ax. Wren swoops in and saves the day at Evan’s business and the two are able to carve time out together while they’re working together.
I love that we also get to catch up with all the O’Brien boys a bit in this story as well. This book had me in stitches when Evan is cooking breakfast while Wren is in the shower and all her brothers show up and threaten to beat up Evan. This was a super-fast paced read with tons of drama and romance. Evan was one of my favorite characters in a long time, he’s nerdy on the surface but a total beast in the bedroom. Can’t wait to see which of the O’Briens we get next!
