Hi, book buddies :o) How are you doing today? Feeling like a duel today? I've got two stories/boys for you to meet. Let's go!
DOMINIC VERSUS ALEC
My opinion
DOMINIC is as
hot as he’s dominant, I bet that’s how he got his name from the author. I’ve
hardly ever met any mal character who’s as persistent, possessive and
maddeningly teasing as he is.
Bronagh is
attending class in Ireland when this bunch of brothers move form America and
turn her world upside down.
Pros &
Cons: it was a lot of fun to drown in their crazy hot dynamics while he teases
her to madness and she keeps rejecting him with a foul-mouthed, aggressive
attitude that only turns him on.
At times
though it just was too much. It was a bit of a cycle where they yell, she
punches him, even Bronagh’s sister goes mad and punches him too. It got a bit
repetitive and nonsensical. Nevertheless, I liked the story. Bronagh is afraid
to let anyone close to her since she lost her parents when she was a little
girl. At school, she isolates herself from any deep human contact, never
allowing for emotional attachment. The only way fate could find a match for her
was to hurl a hot, dominant man who wouldn’t accept no for an answer.
The chemistry
was so scorching hot that it blew out of proportion. Bullying, insults,
male-to-male beatings, until it all explodes into a hormone-drenched drama.
When they
finally give up fighting and give in to their molten-hot feelings, the scenes
get more romantic and playful.
Actually,
Dominic and his family of hot, raunchy brothers are holding a big secret that
will shock Bronagh out of her secluded life. It’s behind Dominic’s nightly
escapades and explains each brother’s profile for future books.
A violent
finale full of surprises, and we’re ready to explore Alec’s dual interests!
ALEC – Keela
is a brave girl who defends her friends, exactly that way is how she meets
cocky Alec for the first time. She resents his attitude, he is attracted to her
temper. When Keela is forced to attend her ex’s wedding, she can’t face it
alone, so gives in to a friend’s preposterous idea. Ask Alec to pretend to be
her boyfriend!
I loved this
idea which is a lot more fun and playful than the first novel. Still everybody
is too aggressive for my liking, they’re always yelling, cursing and punching
others. Nevertheless, you get used to the author’s style and it turns out to be
quite fun. I found the story very entertaining with lots of funny dialogues and
appealing scenes.
Alec pushes
Keela into more intimacy as they get to know each other in time for the charade
at the Bahamas. There, things get pretty intense, with quite a few steamy
scenes that will surprise you.
Also, I liked
to meet the Slate brothers again as their own stories progressed, including
Dominic’s a few years after his own romance and drama.
There are
some endearing moments like on the plane or with Storm, the fat dog.
The bickering
between Keela and Alec is very sexy, though it can also get sweet whey they
become serious about their family issues. Honestly, it quickly becomes
addictive. In particular, when their bond gets deeper and an old trouble
resurfaces to haunt them both. That came as a big surprise that turned the plot
into an unexpected frenzy. I liked it a lot because it was full of drama,
action and emotional mayhem.
Besides that,
it was sweet to see how they complement each other as Alec finds a woman who
cares for him and Keela finds a man who boosts her confidence. Very cool
couple. Now I’m so curious about Kane’s story!
