I'll be honest, I didn't read the synopsis or any information about this book.  I saw the cover and HAD to read it.  This cover* is one of my all time favs.. absolutely love it!I was expecting a story like Katy Evan's Real, which I'm not a huge fan of, but what I got was something completely unexpected. Dominic was a really fun and exciting read.  If I had to compare it to a book I would lean towards Jamie McGuire's Beautiful Disaster, only MUCH more disastrous.  If you didn't like Beautiful Disaster you definitely won't like Dominic, and if you did like Beautiful Disaster you STILL might not like Dominic. This isn't a book for everyone.  Be sure to read the warning before starting this book.  This book was full of foul-mouthed characters, behavior that bordered on sexual harassment, unnecessary drama,  and tons of violence... I surprisingly enjoyed every page of it!The story is set in Dublin, Ireland, where we meet Bronaugh.  Bronaugh has lived with her sister since their parents died.  She keeps her distance from people, not wanting to get close to anyone.  She is crass, full of venom, prone to violence,  hilarious, and strangely likeable.  I wouldn't want to be friends with the girl, but if she had her own reality tv show you can bet I'd DVR it.  Bronaugh's stand-off personality has been effective in keeping others away until a set of American twins, Dominic and Damien, show up at school.  Dominic and Bronaugh push each other's buttons like no other.  I'd like to say sparks fly, but most of the time it's more like fists.  Despite their volatile relationship, Dominic is persistent in pursuing Bronaugh.Bronaugh and Dominic's relationship is definitely not typical.  The two are hot or cold.  Swoony or violent.  It was never quite understood what the two saw in each other, except that they had unexplained chemistry and a warped idea of what they wanted in a significant other.  That being said, I rooted for them.The book had some unexpected twists and over-the-top drama that had me on the edge of my seat and occasionally rolling my eyes at the same time.  There were also plenty of secondary characters that were as entertaining as the MCs.Overall, I think this was an entertaining debut.  It took a leap outside of the box of the normal New Adult/Contemporary Romance, and was just what I needed.  Fortunately, Dominic has four brothers and I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series.  Dominic can be enjoyed as a stand alone.I was provided a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
