Does It Hurt? By H.D. Carlton
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sawyer is running from her past, Enzo has an enormous love of the ocean and an ego to match. When they meet at a bar, little do they know their lives are both about to change after what was supposed to be a one night stand. Enzo’s identity is stolen and he wants revenge. Sawyer just wants to disappear again. When they meet again, they end up shipwrecked and their trouble is only beginning.
While I enjoyed the thriller aspect of this one, the sexual abuse was just way over the top and made the book overall less appealing to me. These two characters may truly deserve each other though.
