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?

Shark Bait (hoo, ha, ha)

To start, because it's always the most mentioned... yes ✨️the✨️ shark scene is messed up, yes it's a TW, yes they do mention it is messed up, no it's not romanticized.


NOW, love love love this book and was so stoked to find it coming to Audible. The narration was excelent, and while I did picture Sawyers voice higher pitched than what this is, it's still enjoyable (also the tone of her voice is never detailed, this was just in my own head). It's hot, it's steamy, it's got murder, it's got mystery, it's got gumption... give it a try! you won't regret it!

Romance with substance

I liked that this book had substance to it, which is typically lacking in the romance genre, but the story felt a bit scattered to me. There were a lot of details that had no impact on the overall story and after finishing, I feel like a lot of fluff could have been edited out and it would have made for a better plot. An enjoyable listen nonetheless.

The Bean Gods Approve

I had this in my kindle but when I heard it was here I listened to the sample and bought it with my one credit. If you’re new to spice I would suggest reading the triggers before dipping your toe into this one. I adore this author and this was a fantastic read. Sawyer cracked me up constantly and the accent(and speaking Italian) for Enzo was drool worthy. But I also really liked the story/plot. There were also some very sweet moments mixed in with the intensity. Bravo🤘

Woah

4.5 ⭐️
At first I thought, “oh, this is a murder mystery?” And then after the accident I thought, “”ugh, this’ll be a mushy love story” and then I was like, “boy was a gleefully wrong! Pretty hilarious actually! Yet, still spicy!” And THEN I wondered, “is this a ghost story?!” And then I was like, “wtf am I reading?!” And then I was like “oh noooo! That’s terrible and sad!” And next I was like, “Oh that old man is crazy AF!” And then….😩 because how could they not take on the peg leg man?! And then I was like 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲🥴🥴🥴🥴

Needless to say, it definitely kept my on my toes and was really good! I waited to read this WELLLLLLL after reading the Cat & Mouse as to not compare the two.

“What are you-a barbarian? Did cavemen raise you?”

“You don’t have to hurt for him. Not anymore!”

Dark romance queen

I swear HD knows how to write the best dark romances. Stranded on an island with a man you slept with and then stole his identity? Only to end up with an even more dangerous dude?!? Like whattt. So dark and I loved it. Also this audio is great but terrifying. I had to cuddle my husband in certain parts haha.

One of my favorites

I might be a little biased because H.D Carlton is one of my favorite authors. This was a great book in my personal opinion.
