What can I say?  Dominic is a crass, selfish, egotistical black man.  It was humorous at times and shocking the rest seeing how his interactions with women are.He is supposed to be a sex addict.  But he missed, more than he hit!  I would have thought that in order to feed his addiction, he would have developed a suave, seductive persona to ultimately get what he wants/craves.  But he didn't.  It was quite offensive the intro he used!I was left to wonder what kind of work he did!  How long he had been at his job for?  If he had been there for a significant length of time, why didn't he already know his boss' daughter?  How did the friendship start between his boss and himself?  His boss stated that he thought of Dominic as a son and he was grooming Dom to take over the business (whatever that might be) but we never get any background information.  All the author gives us is, Dominic, at the insistence of his boss, has to go to a shrink to sort himself out.  There we meet Ellie.The introduction of the two characters was anticlimactic.  I was surprised at how quickly Ellie managed to get Dominic to open up about his life experiences and difficulties.  But once the nut was cracked, boy there was no way to close it shut again!  The history of Dom was horrific!  I could now understand why he was the way he was.  But the details and character building came a wee bit late.His group of friends is minuscule.  We only met Mike.  Then later we met a couple whom took Dom in as a teenager.  There were no work interactions (with the exception of his supposed 'friendship' with his boss), or other personal friends.  Just a lot of meaningless hook ups.  Or non hook ups as the case was.This would have been an awesome book if there were more detail of Dominic.  His day to day life was glossed over.  There were instances where the author eluded to Dom's boss bailing him out of gaol and other scrapes he found himself into, but no detail.  WHY was his boss so insistent on making Dom his successor?  Despite his obvious mess his personal life was in?  I have all these questions, but lack of answers.Ellie was also a bit of an enigma.  Why was she attracted to Dom?  I know he was supposedly good looking with a great 'package' but what was the defining factor for her?  When did her feelings from professional to personal shift?The personal feelings seemed too fast as well.  When the crisis came to a head, Dom and Ellie didn't have many sessions together before professing the 'L' word.  I just had to suspend my disbelief.All in all it was worth the $.99 I paid.  It just needed..., more.
