The Bold and the Dominant by Jenna Jacob, Shayla Black, Isabella Lapearl
4.0
Macen "Hammer" Hammerman and Liam O'Neill have not given up on the idea of reaching Raine Kendall. They know that she has a lot of hurt and keeps secrets about her past that they're trying to help her get over. Liam's ex-wife Gwenyth shows up at the club with a life or death situation and she needs to see him immediately. Liam is out of town with Raine and Macen, forcing them to cut their trip short. Apparently, Gwenyth and Liam's son is under emotional distress from the absence of his father, at 5 months old, and has a psychotherapist. All I could think was, really? That's dumb! LOL But the more I got to know Gwenyth, the more I understood she was crazy and everything she was doing was a scheme.
Liam is forced to deal with his past, while leaving Raine with Hammer and his jealousy gets the better of him. His jealousy leaves him feeling that Raine only needs Hammer and not him. Hammer is the rock of the trio, and he's trying to help Liam and take care of Raine at the same time. They balance each other out and I think that's why they make such a good team. Hammer and Liam are trying to figure out what Gwenyth's scheme is when the baby gets sick and she tells Liam everything, thinking he'd help her get out her mess.
Raine's father is not a good man, he abused her as a child. When he comes back because Hammer quit paying him his monthly stipend, he felt he was due his payment. Her father kidnaps her and tells her everything he did to her siblings and mother. Gwenyth worked with Raine's father to manipulate Liam into doing what she wants, paying him. Even after hearing everything that was said between Liam and Mr. Kendall she never believed that Raine would be harmed. She just wanted her way. I was happy to see her going to jail.
When I started this four part serial I figured I would be able to read it and still be able to get done what I needed to. I was wrong, once I started the first book I feel like I didn't surface again until the end of this one and that's only because I have to wait for the 4th part. Raine is a strong woman, a fighter, and willing to do whatever it takes to survive. I'm glad that she was able to slay her dragon once and for all and is now starting her own family. The end of this part was surprising, but something that adds another dimension to the characters and the next part. I can't wait to see how they react and how the dynamics change. I also enjoyed watching Seth and Beck, the more I get to know them the more that I hope we are able to see them get their own book.
