DAMIEN (Slater Brothers Book 5)

Was it worth the wait?Oh yeah it was!!!I'm still on a jittery high writing this review so excuse my rambling but when there's so much you want to cram in i can't help it!!!Damien The baby of the family is finally home for good. Alannah can't seem to let go of the past. She wants to but she just can't. She knows she's scared to let him back in again and refuses to be hurt again.A series of events threaten to break Alannah. She doesn't know how much more she can take. She feels like a coward but finds the only way to deal with her problems is to lock herself away and immerse herself in her work.With stress from her work, family and personal life she feels all alone and the one person she shouldn't want help from she starts to crave.Damien steps up to help Alannah and hopes in the process she can start to trust him. There's a long slow road to travel but he refuses to give up.This is soooooooo hard to write!!! I want to say so much but i can't because i hate spoilers and i don't want to spoil it for you!!!From the very first chapter a knot formed in my stomach for Alannah. I felt her pain. I felt the betrayal and it continued through pretty much all the book. In past books i think the others treated her as though she was fragile and i felt i suppose angry on her behalf that she had been kept in the dark. When some of the book shows you how she pulls away to sort herself out i can see why. They all love her but i think they never showed her. As the story progresses so do her relationships with everyone. She starts to open up more and say what she feels rather than letting it fester. This in turn opens them up to her.Her love for Damien i have no doubt would be forever even if she wasn't with him. There was just something special about their connection. She felt it and so did he. His story is truly heartbreaking and his breaking broke me. Although he had a big family, opposite to Alannah, he felt the same as her. Alone. He was separate from his brothers because they protected him just like everyone protects Alannah.This book at times isn't easy to read. The pasts of all of them are hard to take. The revelations of more of their past had me in tears. And Alannah's family issues twisted me up inside.The emotions and feels are off the charts! LA Casey seriously knows how to grab your emotions and put them through the ringer.It wasn't all angst though there was plenty of comedic relief along the way. Perfectly timed Alec pops in to make you laugh and smile. His relationship with Alannah is hilarious. I absolutely loved it. I also loved seeing a different side to Kane. His friendship with Alannah really made me smile big. Also the Collins brothers make more of an appearance which is exciting me greatly!!All the babies!! I love seeing them all coming into the world and i seriously can't wait for them to grow and get their own books! lolThe story and plot kept me swiping those pages as quickly as i could so i could find out the end. Seriously the end... gah!!!! Perfect!Absolutely loved every single word. Every single character, and every single book in this series!Highly highly highly recommend this series to anyone that will listen!

OMG OMG and just for effect OMG!!!!!! Have you ever wanted to read a book desperately but also when the time comes just want to not finish it because you know that the end of the series is in sight. Well that’s how I felt reading this book. We finally have Damien  I have been looking forward to this book since I read Dominic and am glad that L.A Casey left his and Alannah’s story till last.Alannah fell in love with Damien on his first day of school over five years ago, but she thought that he would never notice her and just loved him from afar until one night changed all that, what started as a dream come true ended in her own personal nightmare and left her with a shattered heart and a fear of ever letting anyone get that close to her again. Damien left her and his family behind to deal with all that has happened in his past so that he can come back and claim his future…. And now he is back to claim Alannah as his, she has always been his mind, body, heart and soul. But as with all of the Slater books there are secrets in the past that could destroy this couple before they began and ruin Alannah’s friendship with all the people she sees as family forever. Can she forgive them all for the lies that they have all told her for the past five years and can her love for Damien survive all of his and his families betrayal. Especially as she barely survived the last heartbreak that Damien inflicted. But one thing is for sure Damien is a Slater through and through and when they love they love with all they are and she is his and he will do anything to keep her.This book had it all for me there was intrigue with the mysterious Morgan, romance, love, tragedy, lies, betrayal and the perfect alpha male. And of course so many laughs. I have to admit that my heart totally shattered for Alannah when she realised the depth of the betrayal her friends had been involved with and I’m not sure if I was her if I could have ever forgiven them. And of course Barbara the kitten will make you smile. But this book was awesome and cannot wait to have yet another reason to re-read this series…. So as I am sure you can tell I loved loved and loved this book. Bring on Alannah in June……….

Wow simply wow, this was another amazing story and I'm thrilled that each brother got their happy ever after. As Damien and Alannah certainly deserved to be happy and to find love. I felt my heart break at certain scenes as they were to painful to imagine with loss, betrayal, acceptance and more.Alannah has to deal with the betrayal of when Damien left and hurt her when she gave herself to him when they were kids, now 6 years later Damien is trying to do all that he can to win her back, whereas Alannah wants to push him away as to prevent him from hurting her once again. But after a fight breaks out between Damien and Aideen`s older brother Dante over being with Alannah, she realises that she wants to reconnect with Damien as old feelings don't just go away.As life starts moving forward with Damien and new additions added to the family with Twins being Born, an Abandoned Kitten, and a new employee for her business, life seems to be bliss that is until everything starts to unfold when Alannah learns that her friends are keeping things from her, her Mother's sickness and her Father's infidelity. Things start falling apart and just to add another nail to the coffin, an old acquaintance turns up to hurt the Slater brothers once again by going after the one person who has no idea who the brothers are and what they've done in their past. Which causes Alannah to pull away from the whole Group and in a way shun her friends and family. But as time and time again love will preserve and overcome acts of betrayal and confusion, heartbreak and much more. Plus with a hot and sexy as Sin American Male who can resist.
