God. I loved Dominic. So much. He had such an amazing personality filled with softness as well as some rough edges, and it was so easy to connect with him and care about him.

My heart broke for how absolutely horrific Dominic's life has been, and I felt so much pride for how hard he worked and how strong, sweet and good-natured he remained. I absolutely melted every time he interacted with his adorable 3 year-old daughter, and it was interesting to watch him fall in love for the first time. I was just so damn happy to see him get the life he deserved.

I loved getting inside Dominic's head. He had such a distinct personality, which really shone through in not only his dialogue but also his inner monologue. It had a very authentic feel to it; Dominic felt like a real, unique and incredibly lovable guy. He remained the same identifiable person throughout the book, even though he went through so much development. I can honestly say that this was some really good writing.

The only thing I feel could have been done a little better was the romance. Not from Dominic's side, but maybe from Adrian's. I never truly connected with Adrian as an individual, and sometimes had a hard time getting an entirely good read on him. But then again, I genuinely feel like this is Dominic's story, so I wasn't bothered by it too much.

Long story short, I love Dominic.
