I gave this one 4⭐️’s because the damn story made me weepy. The action at the end also had me clenching my fists.
I was a little put off at the very end where Dominik was thinking how she looked sad & it must have been because she couldn’t be In Arizona for the game. Umm, maybe she’s sad because her friends are dead or missing? No, it’s because game.

Every Vengeance has made me look forward to the next. But every next book falls short. I really like The Cold Fury series and this seemed like the same feel (well I know proportionally more of the men’s perspective from what I remember). But it keeps falling short. This one just seemed messy. It didn’t seem extremely fleshed out. I was not along for the ride when the MC decided they were ready for more. And their sexual dynamic couldn’t commit tbh. I just ‘wasn’t buying it.’ I understand this book had two crossovers (I don’t read the special ops or whatever that one is). I did think there was too much time spent on past character explanation when it was not at all relevant. Also, all the men have the same way of thinking and talking which meh usually doesn’t bother me. But here it did. I just felt like the things he thought and did just didn’t match up. It didn’t flow well and the chemistry wasn’t there. Maybe others would enjoy but I feel pretty disappointed that this one just isn’t for me.

Willow and Dominick were an explosive pair. With their pasts I thought some former liaisons would pop out of the woodworks, but the third act situation was much better and made a lot more sense. Willow’s fear of commitment and vulnerability was a great juxtaposition to Dominick’s arc.
Now, on to the the next Vengeance book!

The Arizona Vengeance is hands-down my favorite on-going series. I LOVE the Arizona Vengeance team and their significant others and the familiar secondary characters that we've followed throughout the books. Every new book is a welcome chance to hang-out with my favorite people and in Dominik we switch gears a little bit, focusing on the team's owner rather than one of the hockey players.
Dominik Carlson was introduced in the first book of the series, and we see glimpses of him in all the books, often coming in to lend a helping hand. We know him to be a kind, understanding man and despite being a multi-billionaire, he's very down-to-earth and enjoys casually hanging out with the team. He met Willow Monahan (she's Dax Monahan's sister) early in the series, and they ended up hooking up that first night and she continues to intrigue him. But, Willow's job takes her around the world and she loves her nomadic lifestyle.
I love the chemistry between Willow and Dominik and their sex scenes were HOT HOT HOT! These two set my headphones of fire (I listened to the audiobook)! But, it's their banter and conversations that made me love them. I really enjoyed the opposites-attract dynamic they had going on. Watching slowly Willow open up to Dominik was so sweet that was why when Dominik just sprung the thing he did I screamed because it was too fast, too soon! And then how he reacted afterwards! Why, Dominik, why?!? I wanted to shake Dominik who, until then, was quickly overtaking Erik as my favorite hero in the series. I still love Dominik and he did come through in the end. He's currently number 2 in my mental rankings of favorite heroes in the series though.
Like I mentioned, I listened to Dominik on audio and it was EXCELLENTLY narrated by Christian Fox and Erin Mallon. They were absolutely perfect as Dominik and Willow--I love their performances and they definitely added to my enjoyment in the story. I highly recommend you listen to the audiobook edition of Dominik.
If you haven't read any of the books in the Arizona Vengeance series, Dominik can be read as a standalone. If you have a little bit of time, I suggest at least reading Dax prior to Dominik since Dax is an important secondary character. Of course, reading the books in the series in order will very much enhance your reading experience of Dominik so if you have time on your hands I highly recommend the entire series.

Dominik was so unlikeable! How can someone who is so kind to everyone else be such a jerk to the woman he loves?
