I am speechless...this had me hooked! It was just the right amount of spice, but it is a WILD ride. If you like dark romance, this one is REAL dark, so please check the trigger/content warnings. None of this bothered me; however, much of this book left me gasping for air as I needed to know what was going to happen next.

Does it Hurt?
H.D Carlton

Firstly the dedication 🤣🤣🤣 crack up!

Secondly, ahhhh.... all kinds of fucked up this one was, honestly. 
I was expecting a pretty wild read after reading Haunting & Hunting Adeline. But I liked those way better. 
This was predictable. I liked the book, but easily could have just not read it. 

BUT! Definitely gave the palette cleanser I was after between fantasy series, so served its purpose for me 🤣

Definitely check the trigger warnings. But as per usual for this writer, it seems the bad guys tend to get what's coming to them! So I mean that gives me peace reading this genre but may not be the same for others. Proceed with caution!

Beautifully written. Not for the feint of heart. Characters have very questionable morals. Dark romance dream.
