Review: Be ready for a cliffhanger
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 16, 2013
When Nancy is asked by her roommate to stand in for her and review an art opening in Cleveland, little did she suspect what she was getting herself into. The art is like nothing she had encountered before nor is the eccentric artist. As Nancy finds herself and her sexual awakenings drawn into his world, she discovers there’s more to him than just art. The attraction is mutual but the danger she finds herself into may be more than what her aspiring journalistic nose is ready for.I would like to have given this book a higher rating except two things held me back. First, I didn’t like Nancy. Not only could I not connect to her but I found her train of thought to be very outlandish. She’s supposed to be an innocent virgin who doesn’t even masturbate and yet her first sexual encounter she wants to be tied up and dominated. Really??? Second thing was, frankly, there were too many similarities between this book and FSoG. Way. Too. Many. Once. Once Nancy’s inner ‘alter ego’ made its appearance, I was ready to throw in the towel. The saving grace for me that had me wanting to give this story a high rating was Peter. Him I liked! I found Peter to be such an enigma. My curiosity was definitely piqued and thankfully, I found refreshingly original. Actually, there are several characters that really I really enjoyed but it was primarily Peter who kept me riveted.The outlandish Ms. Delaney aside, I did enjoy this book. The sexual heat was good, the plot was interesting with a lot of interesting unanswered twist, and, of course, there has to be a crazy ‘Oh No!’ cliffhanger that will guarantee to have me coming back for the next book. Frankly, with the last few chapters freshest in my mind, I find despite not liking Nancy, I find I can’t wait for the next book. If I was asked if I would recommend reading The Domino Trilogy my answer would be yes.I received this book from JeepDiva for the express purposes of an honest review. The opinions and rating of this review are solely mine and in no way was I compensated.Stars – 3.5, Flames - 4
