Look... I get it. He's hot. He's dark. He's large. He's in charge. And you want to fuck him. But are we forgetting that he
I was so excited for Val's story because after reading Payton's, then Savannah's, and having read Cassie's book first, I thought the trajectory for decent men and strong-willed women was heading upward. King and Savannah were better than Nero and Payton, and Hans and Cassie were way better than either of them, so I thought Dom and Val would slot nicely in between but unfortunately Dom was just as bad a man as Nero, and Val turned out to be just as weak-willed as Payton.
And I understand these are meant to be morally grey, dominant MMC's. I get that we are supposed to put up with a little strong-arming and overbearing attitudes. But this book went too far for me. There were times when I felt nauseous thinking about what Dom did to Val... all the ways he tricked her and deceived her, and all he had to do was whip out his dick, and she forgave him. Just doesn't do it for me. Also, it's not believable either. At all. Moreover, it was frustrating to get glimpses inside Dom's mind and see how much he wanted Val to trust him (!!!) and then in the next breath do something so fucked up that he would be beyond crazy to think that would gain her trust e.g.
Anywho, I am overall very disappointed in the characters of this book. Both of them. Which sucks because the writing is so good. The dialogue is great, and this one finally had a plot to stand on.
