Publisher's Summary

An Amazon top five best seller!

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?

good narration, not so compelling story

there was just something missing in this story for me. not enough tension or strength to the story. I like spice but prefer if certain things were more believable than just completely unrealistic

Fabulous duel narration

I love H D Carlton and this book is no different. Her type of spice is totally up my alley.
Definitely a dark romance (breath play, non-con) and she manages to make both FMC and MMC Likeable and funny.
Troy Duran's voice is the deepest most incredible listen.

This book grabs you hook line and sinker. it's impossible to put down.

Even better, turns my non reader husband into a reader, massive accomplishment!!

Holy wow…

This book is amazing. Horror and romance in one with both genres entangled so well. Tense the whole time with craziness at the end!

HD Carlton can do no wrong! 🌶🌶🌶🌶

This was my first audio book and holy hell did I pick well! I've since listened to it numerous times and have also read the hard copy.

POSITIVES
1. Enemies to lovers + forced proximity.
2. Equal parts spicy and scary.
3. Loved that the horror wasn't paranormal horror (not a massive fan of the paranormal).
4. Narration was exceptional 👌 Troy and Michelle are legendary!
5. Everything Australian was accurate and believable, including the setting and accents, which can be hard to get right.

NEGATIVES
1. I have yet to meet a bilingual person who speaks in their mother tongue to those who don't speak the same language as much as Enzo does. While it started out smexy, it got a little much by the end, as if Enzo was trying to prove he's better than everyone else because he knows multiple languages.
2. This is nit-picking now, but I found it hard to believe the police would just release Sawyer into Enzo's care without forcing her into intense psychological therapy or suspecting both Enzo and Sawyer's stories needed to be looked into anymore.

Having said that, neither of these things detract from the book or would stop me from reading it again

Disappointing.

I've read other books by H.D. Carlton and have never been disappointed, but I found this seemed very repetitive with a poor storyline.
Enzo's character and accent really annoyed me.
I was pleased to finish it.

More spice then story line.

This was a pretty good book, it got straight into it with the spice, but I became bored halfway through as I felt there was more focus on the hot and steamy parts and not enough on the story line which I was actually really getting into, which is why I gave a 4 stars , as for performance Michelle's voice is just amazing she reads audio books so well! I wish I could have her read all of my faves 🤩.
