Lordy lord. I love H.D.s books so I knew I was going to love this, I just didn’t realise how much. 

Does It Hurt is a perfect enemies to lovers, forced proximity, betrayal… god it’s got it all. 

The circumstances in which Enzo and Sawyer found themselves in are definitely less than ideal. 

I enjoy going into books blind and I would 100% recommend going into this blind. That being said, the plot never stopped but the romance wasn’t shoved aside, it was the perfect combination of romance and storyline. Most definitely a psychological thriller and I haven’t really read any of that before but since this book I’ll definitely be reading more psychological thrillers and things like this, I absolutely loved it. 

The characters were perfectly described they felt so so so real I can’t even comprehend it. Also…

Enzo forgiving Sawyer… what. a. Sceneeeee.

Everything about this book is just ugh, hard yes, loved it loved it loved it.
