Adam
ADAM
Each of us O’Sheas had a place in our family dynamic.
I was the one who made sure our family stayed safe.
The quiet O’Shea. The protective one. The one who did the dirty jobs.
A woman and family were the farthest things from my mind.
It wasn’t a dream I’d ever thought to have or even felt like I deserved.
Until they landed on my doorstep.
One look at them and I knew that I’d go back to the darkness I’d lived in to ensure they were safe.
TILLY
I’d made my choices, and while they weren’t the best, I’d got my two beautiful girls out it.
I probably should have felt bad when my husband was declared dead but all I felt was relief.
Until he came back from the dead intent on finding what he thought belonged to him.
We were beaten but not broken my girls and me.
I knew that I had to warn them.
So, I took my girls and ran, no plan in mind.
Just that I had to warn them.
I’d never expected to trust another man, until him.
My choices this time were the right ones.
This book is intended for mature readers 18 years and older. It includes violence, sexual situations, scenes of domestic violence, and strong language.

What a story. Tilly is such a strong woman. Her husband is abusive to her and another woman who he’s had children with. When the violence against her spills over to her children she makes the only decision she can and runs. Tilly must find the woman who has her exe’s son to warn her, he’s coming for her son. She runs into the Alpha arms of Adam. He’s the quiet one but knows and sees everything. A strong family brings peace to Tilly and her girls. How good was it when the nastiest met their end. Loved it. Loved every word written and cried at the end (I won’t spoil it for you)

Never thought I could love a series as much as The Crows, but the O’Sheas have taken hold of my heart with their warmth, sweetness and strong family ties. Adam and Tilly are a perfect match and those kids? Love! Michelle knocks it out of the park when it comes to bringing us multigenerational families filled with strength and love.

Second chances
Michelle Dups brought the O'Shea family to life in a big way. Adam and Tilly’s story proved never to give up. Tilly running to warn Adam's sister in Law that the man who abused them both was alive. One look at Tilly and her girls Adam knew they were his girls. Great story

Absolutely loving this series. The love these men have for their women and family…..wow! They will stop at nothing to ensure their safety. The way Adam knew the first time he met Tilly and her girls that he was going to protect them. I can’t wait for Liam’s book. Bravo Michelle. You are a genius.

Love knows no bounds
This story was truly a romantic alpha protective one. The O’Shea men know what they want and go for it. His time it had to be a slow and easy one with the girls he fell for on sight.

Fantastic!!!
I’d love to give this one more than 5 stars.
Adam and Tilly are just amazing together. The entire O’Shea family is a case study in perfect book boyfriends.
Absolutely fantastic storyline and characters. We get a resolution to a previous storyline that is much needed.
Wonderful characters that you’ll be rooting for all along the way.
The epilogue and peek into the future !!!!! Oh my goodness. I’m so looking forward to those stories!

O’Shea heaven
I really like these insta love stories. Grumpy Adam fell like a rock and just needed to find his patience to claim her. Tilly had to learn to trust again after the evil of her ex.

Enjoyed
I have to say that watching Adam finding his other half was great. To watch the way he treats the girls was great. Can not wait to what happens to the family.

Adam & Tilly
Tilly shows up in town to warn Maya that their ex husband is not deceased as they were told and is on the hunt for Maya’s son. The first time Adam lays eyes on Tilly even with the damage done to her he knows right away that she is his. He works slowly to earn Tilly and her daughters trust. This is a beautiful continuation into the world of the O’Sheas.

I felt for Tilly at the start of this one. Her life was hell and she was trying to do good by the girls. It sucked what the last straw was for her, but it ended up being the best thing ever. I loved that even with as much crap and pain Tilly was in, she thought of Maya and wanted to make sure she had the warning Tilly didn't have. This brought Tilly and the girls into the O'Shea world and everything changed for them.
It was funny how once Adam saw Tilly and the girls that he knew they were his, despite being beat up and bedraggled. From that moment on he started a campaign to win Tilly over, one she wasn't even aware of for awhile. But just by his actions and those of his family, Tilly was shown how much better her and her girls lives would be.
The drama at the end was only interesting because now the threat is gone and they all can just living happy.

Loved It 💚💜
This series just keeps getting better.I loved the chemistry between Tilly and Adam and how she stood up for herself, especially against her ex. Their banner and antics are hilarious. It has me laughing so hard that I’m reduced to tears. This author knows how to not only write a story, but make you feel as if you're actually part of it. I’m now waiting not so patiently for the next book!!!

This story might cause triggers for some. Abuse of any form to women and children should never happen, although it's rare it does happen to men as well. Fully and Maya have something in common. There's danger, plenty of heat and heartbreak. HEA.

Oh my, what a man! Adam has it all ......looks, heart and a total alpha. This was another fantastic story that I could not put down! This was a beautiful story.

Adam is just another loving O'Shea man.
Highly recommend! Enjoy because I did!

I really enjoyed reading Adam and Tilly's story. I'm enjoying reading these stories about the O'Shea brothers they are all very intriguing men.
In this story, we find that Adam has fallen for the one woman that Maya has a past with. After Tilly's finds out that they are all in trouble she searches to find Maya to warn her. Then the unthinkable happens and they become the best of friends.
This story was awesome with the way that the plot and characters played on each other. The way that everything unfolded from the previous story making it easily tie into this story was greater. I would highly recommend this book and the whole series to anyone.

Adam & Tilly
Tilly and her girls have been through so much, but once Adam entered their lives they see that all men are not a like. Maya and Fully become close and helps in a way for Adam to make them his. I loved the way he interacted with the girls and the time he took with Tilly. I couldn't be happier that another O'Shay has found his won. I absolutely love their dad Colm as he reminds me slot of my dad.

Adam is the loner in the O'shea family, busy running the security part.
When Reaper fetches Tilly to his office after she comes looking for Maya he knows he's found his one. However he knows he needs to go slow to earn her and her two girls trust.
Another great story.

Adam had me laughing and crying, exhilarated and furious, sometimes at the same time. This story is incredibly heartfelt and beautiful. This author always delivers great stories but she's truly given Adam the most perfect journey. In true O'Shea fashion, these guys fall hard and fast and it happens just like that with Adam. I was so excited for Adam and Tilly's story and they got their their hea and then some.
The ending, absolutely brilliant! I can't wait for Liams story next.
"Love you down to my soul.”

Michelle Dups did it again. Adam is the ultimate definition of ooey, gooey, cinnamon roll hero.
I love how this author has family first in all her books. Adam works so hard to show Tilly and her girls that they are safe. When Ally asks if he will ever hit them, my heart just broke, and then melted at how he reassured her. The relationship that Tilly and Maya are able to form is yet another layer in this story. Insta love, alpha, cinnamon roll hero, and found family. Another home run for Michelle Dups.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Michelle Dups is a hidden treasure. Her books are so well written - they draw you in to the story so quickly and make you care about the characters in a way many authors cannot.
This story succeeds on every level. I love the characters. I love the story. I love the family. I love the pop-ins from other friends we still love. All I can say is: Please! We want more!!

When do exmaffia harda$$ men turn in to marshmallows? When they meet the woman they know are theirs, theirs to love, protect, support and build up.
Adam is the strong silent brother who knows instantly Tilly and her girls are HIS!
Tilly has had a rough time with an abusive husband who has come back from the dead.
I love the relationships this family has.
This is another fab book by Michelle and I’m looking forward to more in this series.

This was a good read it is the second book in The O'Shea's Series.

Tilly and her girls have been through so much at the hands of her husband, he was cruel. But finding Adam has opened the doors to different life with a protector.
