The Domino Effect

Rate this book
Domino Black, professional assassin


I've killed too many to count.


All in the name of United States security.


I don't care. I don't feel -- I just do what I'm told. My latest assignment was different.


I had to go undercover. Try to find out if the nightclub owner, Luke Brasco, was really planning to sell vital information to terrorists -- before I took him out.


I had to sleep with the target.


It was the only way. I showed up at his club, an enigma in black, and asked about renting the apartment above the club. He'd barely said yes before I had him in bed.


It wasn't just sex.


It was heart pounding, body racking, soul wrenching... Sex like I'd never had before.


I made a fatal mistake -- I fell in love!

I loved this book from the start. You could really see the shift in how they felt for each other as things got more serious. It became more than a job for Domino and for the first time she started to question the way she was raised. The ending was really great. I didn't know how everything was going to come together, but when it finally did it completed the story perfectly.

If this book was released today, I guarantee there would be more reviews and a higher rating. There’s more spice in this book than a lot of the books people are calling spicy on TikTok. Domino is a government assassin who uses every tactic possible to complete her missions, making her not your average romance FMC. Poor Luke was born into a pretty shitty family who continue to use him for their benefit. Good thing Domino was around to put an end to that! (Hey-oh!) Domino’s journey from a heartless assassin with no family or friends to loving someone else was skillfully done within the limits of a category. I wish it was longer and we got more Domino and Luke. I definitely need more badass bitch FMCs on my TBR.

Tropes: instalove, secret identity, badass bitch

Domino Black is a government black ops agent--an assassin, and she's investigating nightclub owner who may be selling the names of deep-cover agents to al Qaeda. Part of her assignment is to sex him up--which she does. They fall hard for each other, but someone in that nightclub is a traitor--is it the hero or someone close to him? This was a lot of fun to read--the only issue I had with it is that the essential conflict between the lovers comes to a head and is resolved really quickly right at teh end of the book, which makes it feel rushed and less resolved than I would have liked.

The book moved very slow. Long and drawn out. Far from the norm of usual Blaze anatomy. I liked Luke, but tolerated Domino. The rest of the cast i took an instant dislike to with the exception of Mickey. But then his actions turned me against him also. The ending was just ok, but i couldn't imagine it ending any different. I gave it a generous 3 star.
