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.

I see dead people, and not just the men I murdered. I'm in danger of being committed because I can’t tell what’s real from my hallucinations. Everyone thinks I’m crazy when the serial killer I jilted starts haunting my house. He assassinates any man who shows me interest, leaving their body parts under my pillow. During the day, his gaslighting destroys my peace of mind. But at night, he invades my nightmares and makes me crave the depravity.

The Obsidian Order only cares about three things: secrecy, loyalty, and power. Every man born to the founding families is bred for this purpose, to serve the society and its objectives. As a result, we are the elite. Untouchable. Unbreakable. If we make it through the Trials. I will, as long as my obsession doesn't get the best of me. This girl… If the Order doesn't kill me, she'll be the death of me. Because I won't give her up. She's mine.

Story
I wasn’t sure what to expect when arriving in Salem. Forced to marry a man I’ve never met, attend a private university I’d never heard of, and the whispers of a rumored secret society filling the halls. This life would be near unbearable with my insufferable fiancé if it wasn’t for his uncle, his best friend, and his enemy. When none of them are willing to let me go, it sends us down a path I’m not sure any of us will survive. The life I was promised is distorted behind smoke and mirrors. The truth cloaked by Deceit.

Stone was my best friend. My protector. My everything. Until he wasn’t. Kids like us didn’t have the best life, riddled with trauma, bounced around in a system that didn’t want us and couldn’t handle us. In our darkest hours, we had each other. Until we didn’t. We tried to hold on to what little we had. Maneuvering the rough waters of our circumstance. Until I couldn’t.

It’s complicated. Two years ago, he broke my heart when he left me to do his father’s bidding. After months of crying, I finally accepted he was gone and wasn’t going to look back. That maybe he’d never loved me at all. I never wanted to see Luca again. Now, a cruel twist of fate has signed me over to him in a heartless deal. I’m his. He thinks he did me a favor, but I feel like I’ve been given a death sentence. He doesn't want to get married because he still loves me. No, he did it for money. More power.

I was the girl no one looked at twice. Until they saw me. My whole life, no one has had my back. My parents are dead, my adoptive mother is a drug addict, and the mean girls on campus mock me for my scars. So when I end up desperate for money and out of options, I agree to sell the one thing I have left: my innocence. On the night I’m meant to give my body to a brutal Russian mobster, three men storm into the room like dark shadows and kill him before he can claim me. When they drag me from the blood-soaked bed, I’m certain they’re going to kill me too.

Story
The last thing I expected when I married at twenty-two was to remain a virgin at twenty-four. My husband didn’t want me; he married me out of obligation rather than love, and I thought nothing could hurt worse than that. But my solution, marriage counseling, was only the beginning. The first time I saw Shane, I knew I was boarding an express bus to hell because my husband never made me feel a flicker of that spark, and that was before we shook hands.

Story
According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain. Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.” I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you. But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

Entering their infamous club quickly showed me I was in over my head. Then the most feared gang leader took an interest in me. Arran was corrupt, deadly, and his searing gaze both terrified and tempted me. In my search for answers, I stumbled into his dark and dangerous game. The result? I belonged to him, with no chance of escape. In a heartbeat, I became Arran’s obsession. And in a terrible twist, I think he’s becoming mine.

I did something I’ve never done. I couldn’t help it. The man I met at the bar was too gorgeous, too fascinating, too sexy. The next thing I knew, we had a one-night stand. Except....It turns out, he’s Denver Gilchrist, lead singer of the Road Kings, the legendary band that broke up five years ago. How was I supposed to know I was sleeping with a genius rock god? I’m just a piano teacher who plays jazz on Thursday nights. I have a happy, single life with my cat. I don’t need Denver’s brand of chaos. But now, I’m addicted. And so is he.

Story
He doesn’t know me, but he’ll die to save me. Or at least, that’s the gist I get when I’m taken hostage by a psycho with a gun. He’d meant to take a little girl, but I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t try to save her. Now I’m in her place instead and my captor is determined to blow it sky high unless his demands are met.

Story
Devin and Ayden were my best friends. We were practically joined at the hip since age two. When we were kids, we thought we were invincible, inseparable, that nothing or no one could come between us. But we were wrong. Everything turned to crap our senior year of high school. Devin was turning into a clone of his deadbeat lowlife father—fighting, getting wasted, and screwing his way through every girl in town. I’d been hiding a secret crush on him for years.

Story
He is a sinner and never a saint. His words drip with lust. His touch... sinful. That is what girls whisper after one night with him. He even has scratches to prove it. He is powerful, dangerous, and never backs down from a challenge. The pawn? The new girl. He can smell her innocent nature like a piranha smelling blood and won't be satisfied until he has a taste. The problem? He isn't the only one who wants it.

Story
There's rich. Then there's the Ellsworth family. The Kensingtons. American royalty. Money buys power, and power always has a price. The fear of those who already possess both? Losing it. The best way to ensure keeping it? Alliances. And elites don't marry down—they marry equal. For Scarlett Ellsworth and Crew Kensington, that leaves one option: each other. Accepting that inevitability is very different from embracing it. That's the only thing they agree upon. It was meant to be a union for better and for business.

Story
Still married. Those words change everything. Now my should-be ex-husband, Ramsey Stockton, the former pro football star turned felon and hero who left this town—and me—behind years ago, is at my door offering me a deal with the devil. If I let him stay and play his wife again for ninety days, he’ll give me a quiet divorce and his family ranch—the one my inn is on. When I scoff at the idea, he offers a million-dollar bonus to help my business float through this rough patch, but only if I’m his.

Character development: ☹️😄😍😮🥰
Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration Type: Duet Narration
The heroine: Tessa - she was born addicted to drugs, abused by her father from a young age, she is now a nurse at a male prison facility where her husband Vic is the warden. Her husband abuses her and regularly forces her to have sex against her will. Though she acts like she enjoys it to keep him from getting angry because she has learned what happens when she doesn’t keep him happy. She is very skilled at blending into the background at both home and work, so she doesn’t draw anyone’s attention. Her husband controls almost every aspect of her life, she has to be home and have dinner ready by a specific time every night to keep her husband from getting angry.
The Hero: King (a.k.a. Gracin) - He just arrives at Blackthorn prison. His reputation proceeds him, he is considered a high-risk prisoner. When he gets sent to the infirmary right after arriving, he finds he is attracted to the pretty nurse that takes care of him, and he ends up cornering her and asking about the bruises he sees on her wrists. He ends up with a job in that same infirmary and sees her daily, getting more bruised and beaten and he draws pictures of her.
The Story: Tessa had gone to the police in the past and pressed charges against her husband, who had been abusing her since their honeymoon, but the judge dismissed the case making her look like a crazy woman. She learned to do her best to keep Vic happy since then. On the day that King arrived at the prison, Vic is told what happened by some of the guards and beats her violently for flirting with the new inmate, even though she did nothing of the sort. She had to call in sick the following day. After the beatings get worse, and she isn’t eating or sleeping, she realizes if she doesn’t do something soon, she will fade away.
“How is it possible that one man, someone who is supposed to uphold the law can tear me down, and another who is supposed to be the scum of the earth, build me up.”
I have to admit, this story took me by surprise more than once. There quite a long part that took place before Gracin escapes prison and both he and Tessa surprised me quite a bit. The blurb on Amazon said the Hero was morally grey, but I was still expecting him to turn out to be a good guy, I almost expected him to for some reason be some kind of undercover agent in the prison to look into the warden, with the way he was so interested in Tessa and what her husband did to her. Plus, there was a scene where the warden was upset because someone with more power than him, got Gracin assigned work duty in the infirmary. So, when he does something really unexpected, I was actually very surprised.
One thing I hate about romantic suspense is when the two main characters get intimate in a time when they should be getting out of dodge. That happens in this one, and it is just stupid.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via duet narration and was narrated by Aiden Snow and Michelle Sparks. The are two of my favorite narrators. Aiden has a deep, gruff voice that is super sexy, and Michelle has a clear, feminine voice that is very expressive and natural sounding. Aiden’s parts are short and to the point in keeping with the character of Gracin, but he does a perfect job.
Duet narration audiobook with a morally grey Hero.

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
