Does It Hurt? by H.D. Carlton
dark
emotional
tense
3.0
I was not a huge fan of this novel like some of Carlton's other novels.
Now, the overall storyline was intriguing. The FMC is mysterious and on the run, and the MMC is unsuspecting of the FMC and broody. There were some twists and turns I think the reader can see coming and of course there are some that pop up out of nowhere.
My biggest complaint is the character development was incredibly underwhelming. He's just an asshole to be an asshole and she just takes it for the sake of taking it. & the growth they have happens in the span of about 1 or 2 chapters, that's it. I think it would have been a far more compelling story had we seen more growth and more development over the course of the book.
Please double check TWs before you read because this is DARK with a lot of actions that had me wondering if I really read what I just read.
