2.5-3/5So I'm a bit conflicted on this book. On the one hand I liked it, it was interesting and kept my attention. On the other there were a lot of things I did not like, the main one being the two lead characters. Especially Dominic. He was just an out and out prick. Not because he curses a lot because I don't mind that at all, but because he was just an a-hole. I get that he's possessive and most of the time I don't mind that but Dominic just took it to a whole new level. He got so jealous and aggressive he would get into fist fights for the most ridiculous things. The only good thing about him that I could see was that he was good looking. Other than that I really don't know what Bronagh saw in him. He has some serious anger issues. And so does Bronagh. Granted I did like that she stands up for herself and doesn't let him push her around but the two of them get into so many fights it was insane. And I don't mean verbal. They actually got into a couple of physical fights. I just felt like their relationship was not healthy and I didn't understand why they were together. They weren't the only people who got into fights. The people in this book were so violent! It was really unnecessary.Now there were things that I liked about the book. I enjoyed the secondary characters, especially the other Slater brothers. I think I will like their books more. Their back-story was interesting and I want to learn more about them all. I really want to read Damien's book. I loved him, he was such a sweety. This book was also quite humorous, there were many laugh out loud moments.This is the first book by Ms Casey and although it wasn't perfect, I know that there are many people out there who will love it. I will continue to read the other books in the series and I hope I will enjoy them more.(There were a tonne of grammatical errors throughout the book but because I received an ARC copy I will assume that these will be rectified in the final copy. This didn't affect my final rating.)
