BLURB:

old.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of her.

Why you running from me?

The first question comes to mind each time she turns her back on me.

Rigid and cool to the touch, her heart had ice around it. She’d put it in the deepest, darkest hole and dared anyone to try and fetch it. A man that appreciates a challenge took this one on head first. And, with little bruising, I retrieved it. The red, barely recognizable organ was lifeless. Day by day, I nurtured it, nurtured her, and eventually, it began to beat again. Not just for anyone, but for me. Its revival was life’s greatest reward. The victory didn’t last very long. My lack of experience with handling something so precious led me to make rookie mistakes, ones that cost me her heart and mine, too.

Different.

That’s what I believe him to be.

Who sent you after my heart?

It’s the question that plagued me each time he set out on my path.

His pockets were stuffed and his accounts were limitless, affording him luxuries that not everyone had when it came to me. He didn’t flinch at the notion that he had to pay to play. It enticed him. That was my type. He was my type. But, he knew no boundaries. His quest commenced the second our eyes met, my body hypnotizing him and everyone else in the room around us. Sadly, they were a blur. All I saw was him. Tenacity was his specialty. He was as confident as he was persistent, tireless in his efforts to retrieve the one part of me that I’d buried for safekeeping. And, once he had it in his grasp, like every other man I’d shamefully given it to, he crushed it.

MY THOUGHTS:

I’m kinda feeling like my blog’s turning into some Grey-Huffington-page thing, but nah, not yet at least. Gotta admit, I had a blast reading the whole Eisenberg Effect series, so I just had to dive into The Domino Effect Series, ya know? So, okay, I gotta say I liked Lawe more than Ledge’s book. I love how the Eisenbergs welcomed Ledge and Lawe into their family. Lawe’s definitely related to Laike, for sure. I mean, they’ve got some crazy similar stuff going on, like you can totally tell they’re blood relatives. But man, the series doesn’t even compare to the Eisenberg Effect series. That series was like, chef’s kiss, baby!

Once again, Huffington is going all out with this story. It’s insanely spicy, like off-the-charts levels of spice, like 10000/10. I absolutely loved the spice. The elevator scene totally blew my mind, but I gotta say, I just couldn’t warm up to Kleu and Lawe. They’re not my favorite couple; I mean, no one can top Luca and Ever for me. Didn’t like how Lawe kept the baby a secret from his family; they would’ve found out if he’d just told them. And Kleu as a stripper and escort? Not my vibe at all. (No shade to people in that line of work, it just didn’t click with me). There was just too much going on and I’m just a tad disappointed. I mean…LAWE EVEN BIT HER LIP AT ONE POINT (not in the way you’d think). I’m all about lovey-dovey books and I need more of those without all the toxicity.

I wanted Lawe and Kleu to end up with a happy family with numerous children as well, but I see why she chose to switch it up. It’s not for everyone. It’s a super toxic love story that will keep you engaged BUT I wanted to feel the vibes that I felt when I read Luca and Ever’s story and I didn’t get it.
