About this listen

I tried to outsmart the King of Sin. Now, I'm his.

Brutal, cold, and illegally gorgeous, Dante Sartorre isn't just mafia royalty. He's also the tyrant owner of the infamously deviant and members-only Club Venom.

He's also my new husband.

In my defense, I wasn't supposed to be the bride. But I sealed my fate when I saved my friend by signing the Venom Devil's marriage contract myself.

Now, he owns me. All of me…

Dante thinks I'll play the part of the obedient little bride he needs in order to keep his club. He swears he'll bring me to my knees if I don't.

But little does he know, this marriage has an expiration date. And so do I.

You see, it's not just the simmering heat between us that's toxic. It's my blood and the secret sickness inside of me that's poisonous, too.

So if you choose to know our story, you must know three things: This is not a fairytale. Dante is the Anti-Prince Charming. And my name is Tempest Black, and I die at the end.

Toxic Love is a blisteringly steamy, dark mafia, enemies-to-lovers, marriage of convenience standalone romance by bestselling author, Jagger Cole. It features a smart, untamable heroine, and an ultra-possessive hero with "look at her and I'll unalive you" energy. This is the explosive start to the Venomous Gods mafia series. No cliffhanger. HEA included. For mature listeners.

what a story!

The story was both sexy and sad. I was hooked from start to finish. I loved the characters. So much so that I am having a quick break between the first story and the rest of the series so I can savour these two as my favourite before I clear the slate and prepare for the next male character to impress as an alpha.

In my mind, Dante is currently more alpha than all but the Russian/Serb head of the Bratva in this series. I can't see the next character as tough until I forget about Dante. I know I will love it when I come back to the next one and hope the Serb/Russian has a book.

The performance was as good as a dual good be, and the voices suited the characters and the narrators nailed their performances. They said, I think the narrators are the same in each book, this is another reason why I need a break before I continue with the series.

I'll be back....can't wait!

Twists and turns

It took me a couple of attempts to get into this book. But once I did, it flowed nicely. Because I’ve read a lot of mafia books, some of the story felt familiar.
Also there was a lot of spicy scenes, when we needed a few more of them connecting emotionally.
Over all good.
