Under My Skin
This was a great book, but the ending got under my skin!!!!! Didn't think it would end like that, at all. I know Tegan was wrong for what she did. She was dead wrong !!!! But Inga and Hayden were worse. She betrayed a lifetime friendship and brotherhood. Yeah Dante did her wrong, but that's all her fault. She chose to stay with him all those years. That was her decision. No one forced her to stay and be unhappy. Hayden did his brother wrong. Yes I understand he was hurt and wanted revenge but he should of got even another way. He did his brother wrong too!!! His brother was in love with Inga. I just don't think they deserve to be happy together!!! They hurt to many people!!!!! Not what I expected at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved Hayden, but HATE him and Inga now.

This book was sooo good. It pulled me out of a reading slump.
What can I say...It wasn't really gangsta, It wasn't too boujie, just enough hood. just a few characters with their "privileged background" to balance out the drama.... no thotism, well a little thotism, but just the right amount so you don't feel like you need a shower....
A good storyline that keeps you wondering who is faithful to who and which relationships are real.
The only drawback was that there are 5 different relationships...You try to figure out how each person is connected to the other...
Oh and let me mention..a sexy set of Moroccan Twins...lordttttt.....

The Way That I Love You (Parts 1 & 2 Boxed Set)
Life for Lee Harlow with her twin lovers Marcio & Marco, Elijah/Elsie/Aiden, Hayden/Tegan/Eric, and of course Dante/Inga/Harper/Hayden is a twisted mess. The female characters in this book are manipulative. The ladies also endure verbal/physical abuse by the men in their lives. Can't see where good love or good living coincide in this story. I would say, this is a different look at love and the people who claim to be in love/lust with one another. Whew.

Too many characters, at times I had to flip back to remember who was with who, their story etc. I think even the author forgot this as she mixed the characters up at one point. A lot of editing was needed too many grammar errors and use of incorrect words. But a decent book nonetheless.

Ahhh, I can not believe what I just read. I might still be in shock. Dominique, you keep writing this fire. So much happened, and so many things changed. I laughed, I was angry, I was sad, I even shed a tear. I wasn't expecting any of what happened, but I think some things were for the best. Now some of the people I liked in the first one, I actually disliked in this one. You made me dislike one of the twins, and I loved them in the first one, lol. Marcos pissed me off in this one though. Didn't care for Tegan in the first one, but she made me despise her in this one. Still live Marcios and Hayden though, and I have a newfound respect for Inga. I'm kind of mad that the story is over, cause I think a part 3 would of made me feel better, lol. All in all, it was a great read, can't wait to read more stories from you.

BOTH OF THE BOOKS WAS GOOD DRAMA WAS SURE IN BOTH BOOKS IT WAS KIND OF HARD TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT STORIES FROM EACH CHARACTER. INGA & HAYDEN WAS DIRTY HOW THEY WENT ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP AT THE END OF BOOK 2 HARDEN WAS THE ONE IN LOVE WITH INGA SMH IF I WAS TEGAN BOTH OF THEM WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD THEN AGAIN TEGAN CAUSED THAT DRAMA ON HERSELF TRYING TO LIVE 2 SEPERATE LIVES WITH 2 DIFFERENT MEN. ELSIE WITH HER RELATIONSHIP WITH AIDEN & ELIJAH SHE SOON SAW THAT THE GRASS WASNT GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE AIDEN REALLY SHOWED HIS TRUE COLORS BUT IN THE END ELSIE & ELIJAH FOUND EACH OTHER AGAIN. IM GLAD MARCIOS CAME HOME WHEN HE DID CAUSE ALL THE DRAMA WAS GETTING TO BE TO MUCH FOR HARLOW LEE SINCE MARCOS WANTED TO GO OUT AND DO HIM. WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO HARLOW LEE THE TWINS THAT SHES CARRYING & THE TWINS THAT SHE MARRIED????

The first thing that caught my attention was the fact that there were not a lot of editing issues. I love this genre but one of my biggest pet peeves with it is the lack of editing which drives me insane. I was able to fly through without stopping and re-reading. The story lines were great! This book was very entertaining and fast paced. I loved all of the characters and how they were each so different and the men were so alpha and sexy and the love triangles had me flipping through the pages like crazy.

I LOVE THIS AUTHOR'S WORK BUT I JUST COULDN'T GET WITH THIS SERIES. I WAS REALLY ROOTING FOR TEGAN AND HAYDEN, DIDN'T CARE FOR ERIC. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TEGAN, SHE HAS A GOOD MAN BUT IS GREEDY AND HAS TO HAVE ANOTHER. IT BACKFIRES ON HER IN THE END. HAYDEN GAVE HER MORE CHANCES THAN SHE DESERVED BUT I WAS STILL HOPING THEY GOT IT TOGETHER. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE BETRAYAL OF INGA. ELSIE WAS DEALT A BAD HAND AND LEE IS JUST OUT THERE.

A great read by Dominique!!! I loved it. So many unsuspected things happened. This book sent you on a emotional roller-coaster that left you speechless. This story drew you in and make you feel like you're apart of the group. This story makes you realize that even real true love has a breaking point. So take a ride and buckle your sit belt cause it's going to be a rough one.

Good story
I enjoyed reading this and would have given it five stars except the fact of the one that messed around with twin brothers and marrying them. I didn't like that everyone kept licking their lip in every chapter. Overall I would recommend this to people that likes books full of drama.

Wow.
Normally I'd have a million words for the author, but I'm speechless. The book started off with me not liking it because there's so many different characters and I couldn't keep up, but once part two began, I was all in. That ending tho!!!!!!!! I'm not sure how to feel. It's a good book though.

Pretty good
This was pretty good. It was alot going on but once I got the couples straight it was better. Those girls were getting on my nerves though. They were not true friends in my opinion.

I really didn't like this book. It was to much going on and hard to keep up with. I usually love her books so hopefully the next book will be great

I did not expect this to end the way it did! Hayden and Inga were dead ass wrong for what they did. I know Teagan did her dirt but really?! Naaah. Let's see what happens next!
