Due to several instances that left me uncomfortable, I was not sold with Dominic as a romantic lead.Īnother aspect of this book that fell short for me was the character and plot development. There are other instances, like when Rosie is trying to leave and tells Dominic multiple times, but he still tries to get her to engage in intimate aspects of their relationship. This is presented as being his love language which is “acts of service.” He even bought a house, without telling Rosie, and kept it a secret from her for several years. For example, Dominic paid for a security officer at the mall where Rosie worked to make sure she got into her safely and didn’t tell her. Dominic definitely exudes “alpha male” behavior, which I thought was often excused as him being protective. There were some aspects of Dominic’s behavior that I did not enjoy and made me uncomfortable. I thought this would be a large part of their story and explain a lot of Dominic’s current behavior, unfortunately, this aspect wasn’t really explored in the book. I thought Dominic’s backstory was interesting: he is an army veteran. On the other hand, there were many aspects of Dominic that I didn’t really like. I think Rosie acted a lot more realistically than Dominic, particularly during therapy when she realized that she also played a role in the broken marriage between her and Dominic. However, in this book, I strongly liked Rosie a lot more than Dominic. Usually with the books in this series, I am generally like the leads about the same.
