I honestly had no idea what to expect outside of knowing this was dark romance. This is my first time reading H.D. Carlton and it didn’t disappoint. Was it packed full of triggers? Yes. So be wary of those and check before indulging.
Grumpy sunshine to the point that bully tropes were at play. From start to finish I was fully immersed and damn… it got hot in there 🥵
I’d definitely recommend this to fellow dark romance lovers. Enzo and Sawyer’s story is one that’s going to stick with me, and something I see myself revisiting and reading again.

The story line was also pretty weak. If it was going to be part "thriller", it failed. It was completely predictable, with no surprises, twists or turns. It honestly felt like the "plot" on the island was worked in as a way to just try to bring the two main characters closer together - albeit in a weird and unhealthy way - and have a LOT of sex...most of which was where he was mean to her either during it or immediately afterwards.
