Cocktails and Books

I really enjoyed SEDUCING LOLA and part of that was the relationship Lola had with her brother Dom. So when I saw that Dom and Sophia were getting their own story, I was practically bouncing with glee.
Sophia always had a thing for best friend Lola's brother, Dom. And her dreams came true when she and Dom started dating while she was in college. But then her temper and stubbornness and Dom's quick temper led to their relationship collapsing in horrific style. Fast forward ten years later and Sophia is forced to deal with Dom, when all she's managed to do all these years was run.
I liked Sophia and Dom separately, but there came a time in this book where I had to question just how much longer Dom was going to put up with Sophia's BS. I get that she felt he'd cheated. I could understand how hurt her feelings were. But at some point she had to admit that she had a teensy tiny part of the blame, seeing as it was her temper that set them down their path. And that's what bugged me with Sophia. Despite knowing she still loved Dom, she didn't own up to her own part. She'd rather place blame than admit she was wrong too. Believe me, Dom wasn't a saint. It wasn't like he was sitting at home waiting for Sophia to forgive him. But at least he could admit he was wrong.
Despite wanting to strangle Sophia, at times, this was still a good read. It wasn't as funny as SEDUCING LOLA, but it had the perfect mix of angst and humor to keep me glued to it until the very end.
