About this listen

"Intense, filthy, suspenseful--Nicole Blanchard delivers all the goods in this addictive forbidden love story! I absolutely loved this book!"—USA Today bestselling author K Webster

My life has been a series of bad decisions.

Marrying an abusive man was the first... but falling for a dangerous inmate where I’m a nurse may be the worst.

He’s brutal, heartless, and twisted.

But he’s also the only one to notice the bruises on my skin.

His forbidden touch becomes my addiction.

His drugging kisses my obsession.

After I learn the truth about why he’s in prison, I try to escape, but he finds me.

This is a dark romance with content that may be difficult for some listeners. Please see my website for a list if needed. Toxic is a standalone with a pierced morally gray antihero and features no OW drama with a guaranteed HEA.

This story was very well written. It has just enough of everything and the voice actors are perfection. I’m ready to go from a little mouse to a full grown cat…meow

Great storyline, lots of secrets, check trigger warnings! She’s a broken down scared woman turned badass by a very deep dark badass! Is she the toxic one or is he???

Too short, but a good listen. Honestly wish there was more spice, but it’s worth the time to read.

Not a bad listen at all. But I was personally expecting more out of it. Very predictable ending.

I will say that the first part of the book was hard for me because domestic violence is a trigger that is hard to read about since it is a very common thing woman and men go through so during those scenes it was hard for me. Now I do love how our FMC was able to over come that DV relationship in the book and no longer be controlled by her abuser. I loved how our FMC was able to regain control of her life and along the way find out more about herself and the woman she knows she is! I think that I loved our FMC more in this than I did the MMC.

LOVED IT

I’m a fan of duet narration. The narrators do mostly a good job, but I was reading ebook text and listening and there were several times where I was like “mmm, that’s not the right tone/intonation for how *I* read that.

The plot of the book is a little rapey/abduction heavy for my taste. I like dark romance, but am very picky about the content. This was better than other books I’ve read with rapey/abduction themes, but still had levels of cringe for me.

SPOILERS AHEAD
In the scene where FMC is torturing bad guy-Andrew (I think that’s his name), there’s a paragraph that the audio book has the make narrator read, but I’m 90% certain it’s something FMC says. The writing doesn’t specify, but from context clues, it should be the female narrator saying that paragraph from FMC’s voice.

The darkness is too rapey for me - audio is okay with one issue

This is very dark. It is suspenseful, with a very dark antihero, but I still liked him. Interesting book I enjoyed reading.

Wow, very unusual plot, but good.

I found the story to be the sweet vanilla version of a dark romance. No smutty dark kink here. The dark aspects of the story are due to the violence more than the romance. The main guy is a criminal and there is abuse and violence towards the mfc (not from the mmc). The story is more about a woman overcoming and a heartfelt romance with a criminal. Very lovey HEA. If you looking for lots of dark kinky sex, this is not it. Bummer I know…but it’s a sweet story with some excessive violence. Well written and the narration is well done.

Not dark as expected. Violent but not kinky
