H. D. Carlton is my favorite dark romance writer and I’ve gone through quite a few books in this genre. The balance between tense situations and romance is *chef’s kiss*. I would say this is the book you should start with if you are looking it to dark romance. 

Spice 5 stars!

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!

H.D. Carlton knows how to write a powerful and brave FMC with horrific history. Her MMC are also fascinating…
This book, the story of Sawyer and Enzo’s story is definitely one of my favorites of this year.
It is spicy (really really really), dark and also very tense.
