Does It Hurt? by H.D. Carlton

3.0

I don't know what to say about this book other than it had so much potential. This was my first read from HD Carlton, and I knew what type of subject matter she writes, which does not bother me in the slightest. The story started great; there was a bit of mystery, a little action, and some tremendous intimate scenes between Sawyer and Enzo. Then everything went a little haywire and ridiculous during a specific boat scene, and I was completely taken off guard. Once the two ended up stranded on the island, I thought the story would pick up and get a little better, but it just went off the rails. Sylvester was a creep, understandably, but I just couldn't connect with Sawyer and Enzo. I did enjoy the last chapters of the story; however, the two plot twists were predictable, so a bit of a letdown. I really think this one had much potential, but I can also understand why others love this story. I really wanted to like this one more, which is a shame.
