Publisher's summary

True delusion was believing that if you pretended your problems didn't exist, they'd go away on their own. That the monsters living under your bed wouldn't get tired of waiting for you to crawl into the dark with them. But they always did.

Nikki

Running away and becoming someone new would be far easier if the demons of my past didn't insist on showing up at my doorstep. Turns out that leaving an evil Russian Bratva leader at the altar after helping stage his assassination only pissed him off and made me a target.

I tried blending, but hiding in the shadows under a fake alias is no longer enough.

It should have been easy to keep my distance from the MC member burdened with protecting me. He is just as averse to commitment as I am, yet he's been the only person ever to see me, even through all the smoke and mirrors I keep between us.

Dex

She's shrouded in secrets, and there's nothing I want more than to peel back every layer and discover what's at her core. The glimpses she gives me have me hooked in a way I've never experienced before. I've always been no commitments, no girlfriends—hell, I've never had a female friend.

Yet here I am, wanting to protect her, to be the weapon she wields against her enemies. Because if there's one thing I have learned during our time together, it's that the ache in my chest only stops when I am with her.

She's mine now.

City of Salvation is book three in the Toxic Paradise series. While they can be listened to as standalones, these books are best enjoyed in order. Perfect for fans of Tate James, Sav R. Miller, and Sophie Lark's Brutal Birthright Series. For mature listeners.

Exciting!

Action, sexual tension, steamy scenes and great narration. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Nikki and Dex have a difficult time keeping their relationship in the friend zone with the level of chemistry between them. In fact they do a terrible job of it. When Nikki is keeping secrets Dex and his MC have a hard time protecting her and it takes a collaboration of dangerous minds to finally come through for them in the end. And what an end it is! This book is definitely worth the credit!

A Gritty, Heartfelt Romance Full of Unforgettable Chemistry

Nikki and Dex both carry deep trauma, hiding their pain behind humor and avoiding commitment at all costs. They thought they could keep things friendly, but their connection was undeniable much more intense than any of their previous encounters. As Nikki’s past resurfaces to haunt her, Dex steps up to protect her, but the real question is: will she let him in?

I didn’t want this series to end! Each book is built around a strong FMC, and this third installment is no different. Nikki fights to stay strong, even if some of her choices had me shaking my head (in a good way, lol). Dex, the heartbroken guy hiding behind the “funny friend” persona, finally meets his match in Nikki. While he helps her break down her walls, he starts to do the same, and you can’t help but love him for it!

Without giving too much away, I have to say I adored the life lessons sprinkled throughout the story and the hilarious bromance between Dex and Roberto those two definitely kept me laughing! If you’re into dark romance, MC romance, or mafia romance, this series is a must-read!
