Who am I?

I've forgotten the answer to that question long ago. Ever since I ran from that house, so desperate to escape, I left with only the clothes on my back and socks on my feet. After that day, I've only ever walked in stolen shoes.

Could I be a girl who is searching for the meaning of life in faceless men? They were all so forgettable. Until he came along. He took me under a waterfall and made me forget my name, and in return, I took his instead.

Enzo Vitale.

An enigmatic man who will only ever love the deep sea. Or rather the predators that inhabit it. Turns out, he's not so different than the monsters he feeds. He lured me onto his boat like a fish in the ocean, seeking vengeance for my crime. Had I realized his intentions, and that a massive storm would leave us shipwrecked, I would've run.

Now, I'm a girl who's seeking refuge in a decrepit lighthouse with a man who loathes me almost as much as he craves me. He wants to hurt me, but the old caretaker of the abandoned island may have intentions far more sinister.

It's no longer a question of who I am, but rather, will I survive?

Yet another masterpiece by H.D Carlton.
I love her style and storytelling.
The story follows an abundance of ups and downs for our FMC Sawyer (how I have to say is the first female protagonist who hasn’t annoyed the heck out of me.)
With equal measures of survival and deception colliding together with horror and suspense and shrouded in steamy, hot spice this dark romance does not disappoint. And if that alone wasn’t enough then limber up for the Italian stallion that is Enzo!!!!

Sawyer is on the run from a troubled past and through a quick change of plan ends up taking residence in Australia. It’s here that her life becomes even more complicated and Enzo, her one night stand shows back up to haunt her causing a true horror story to come to life as he seeks revenge that goes wrong and endangers them both.

A firm favourite and highly recommended if you are a fan of H.D Carlton’s work.

Carlton can’t do no wrong.

captivating

It took a couple of chapters to get into the story but once it got into the story I enjoyed it.

I connected with the characters and didn’t really feel I needed a back story for Enzo as his upbringing was explained.

Story not just smut
