Does It Hurt?

An Amazon top five best seller!

Who am I?

I've forgotten the answer to that question long ago. Ever since I ran from that house, so desperate to escape, I left with only the clothes on my back and socks on my feet. After that day, I've only ever walked in stolen shoes.

Could I be a girl who is searching for the meaning of life in faceless men? They were all so forgettable. Until he came along. He took me under a waterfall and made me forget my name, and in return, I took his instead.

Enzo Vitale.

An enigmatic man who will only ever love the deep sea. Or rather the predators that inhabit it. Turns out, he's not so different than the monsters he feeds. He lured me onto his boat like a fish in the ocean, seeking vengeance for my crime. Had I realized his intentions, and that a massive storm would leave us shipwrecked, I would've run.

Now, I'm a girl who's seeking refuge in a decrepit lighthouse with a man who loathes me almost as much as he craves me. He wants to hurt me, but the old caretaker of the abandoned island may have intentions far more sinister.

It's no longer a question of who I am, but rather, will I survive?

Riveting right up to the end

A page turner with spice galore. Some may not like the propensities of the male character but the story is engaging. I read the book before listening to the audiobook. Troy Duran was the perfect choice. His dulcet tone softened the character and made his angst more understandable. I also appreciated the author elevating the dialogue to the cerebral. Worth the purchase.

I love H.D. Carlton!

H.D. Always delivers when she writes and this book is (chefs kiss) great. I will say that Sawyer is definitely giving me pre-unhinged Sibby vibes. IYKYK. I love how she also always ties the paranormal into her books somehow. The plot is actually really good even without the smut. I’m so glad I listened to this instead of read it cuz Enzo’s voice was very sexy. 10/10 would recommend

you officially have a new fan!

first time reader, I will be finding more. this story was everythung I never new I needed. what an adventure.♡♡♡

HOT HOT HOT

I couldn’t have clicked submit faster when I saw this book was in audible. I am so happy I got it on audible too because this duo was amazing. If I could rate this book any higher I would.

Glad I listened

This was a good book as I was searching the female narrator because I really like her on a different book and I LOVE Troy Duran, the story was good even though it had a few strange parts. I don’t regret buying it. I would even buy a novella about more of them or maybe even a book about Troy, the MC’s friend. Overall I recommend!
