Does It Hurt? by H.D. Carlton
fast-paced
4.0
I didn't have high hopes going into this book and don't get me wrong, it doesn't manage to evade the usual dark romance tropes of possessive annihilation and inconsistent theming, BUT the reason this book scored so highly amongst so many others is simply for Sawyer's character. She was hilarious - like laugh out loud funny, and so grounded in an otherwise ludicrous plot line that it made it almost impossible not to keep reading.
Enzo is problematic, right up to the end I didn't really like him and I don't think he had the same character arc that Sawyer did, but he complimented her well and even his dry humour and wit had me laughing and turning the pages even quicker.
Yes it's spicy, and yes its also a lowkey haunted light house horror story, but if you manage to suspend your disbelief early into the story, I think for readers of dark romance, this one will be a breath of fresh air. Would have been an easy five stars if Enzo hadn't been such a dick.
