Dominic

Dominic by LA Casey

My rating (out of 5 stars):

3 stars—I liked it.

Description from Goodreads.com:

“After a car accident killed her parents when she was a child, Bronagh Murphy chose to box herself off from people in an effort to keep herself from future hurt. If she doesn't befriend people, talk to them or acknowledge them in any way they leave her alone just like she wants.

When Dominic Slater enters her life, ignoring him is all she has to do to get his attention. Dominic is used to attention, and when he and his brothers move to Dublin, Ireland for family business, he gets nothing but attention. Attention from everyone except the beautiful brunette with a sharp tongue.

Dominic wants Bronagh and the only way he can get to her, is by dragging her from the boxed off corner she has herself trapped in the only way he knows how...by force.

Dominic wants her, and what Dominic wants, Dominic gets.”

My Thoughts:

So…the author gives this warning:

“WARNING: If you don't like a leading male that is a possessive pr**k, Dominic is NOT for you. If you don't like a leading female that is a stubborn bi**h, Dominic is NOT for you. If you don't like over the top drama and characters who have bad tempers, Dominic is NOT for you. Most of all, if you don't like characters who CURSE A LOT and say EXACTLY what they feel and are thinking without sugar coating it then Dominic is REALLY NOT for you.”

FYI…This is all true.

With that said, I felt like the author could have gone a different route to make the story more appealing. There was definitely too much violence/dysfunction, a little toning down would have gone a long way.
Also, the constant fighting about word meaning between the characters was overdone. We get it, we get it…they would go on for pages arguing over word meaning. And the author gives us Dominic and Damien as identical twins (stated several times) but then goes into how they look different. Sigh.

Overall, I hated Bronagh in this book (although I really like this name!). I’m not sure why anyone would want to date her. But I kept reading because I actually did like Dominic. I’m going to try more by LA Casey, because I liked her style and think there might be a better fit for me!
