Synopsis
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not...
New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr turns up the heat in a smoking hot, emotionally compelling new novel that takes you into the world of Manhattan’s elite. In Toxic, Jeremy McQueen, a sexy, intense, sometimes brooding entrepreneur goes after what he wants—the woman he left behind years ago. Phoebe St. Claire, a put together, in control socialite-turned-CEO has been drifting through life searching for something she thought she'd never find again—the right man to share her future.
Our passion was boundless. Our lust untamed. And our desire endless. He was the only man who ever made me feel alive. Then, I betrayed him.
When he reappeared, I didn’t question it. Trust rarely survives the wrecking ball, so when he let me in back in—I didn’t hesitate.
Maybe I should have.
What began as a bid to save my family business, turned into a second chance at love. It felt so romantic. Working together, side by side, with the man I loved. My dream come true.
Nothing is as good as it seems.
We had our issues, but then again, every couple does. It wasn’t jealousy, or our too-hot sex life that I should have been worried about.
It was his darkside.
I never saw the end coming, until it slammed me in the face. The question is—did he?
Was revenge his plan all along?
****
Sometimes you have to wonder if your life is too good to be true.
Is it real or just an illusion?
Does the man lying beside you really love you like he says he does?
If the answer is yes, you’re meant to live happily ever after.
If the answer is no, you’re living my life, and nothing will ever be the same.
What you do about it—that’s up to you.
Me, I’m in too deep and there’s no getting out.
I’ll take whatever I can get for as long as I can because I know when it’s over…
I’ll never find another man like him.
Ever!

If I could sum up Toxic by Kim Karr those would definitely be the thoughts.
This is the story of Jeremy McQueen, a brooding, sexy, alpha male who is going after who he wants. Phoebe St. Claire, a socialite / CEO, who has been looking for the right man. These two fell in love years ago; however, it wasn't meant to be -- can they have their HEA now?
While I read Toxic I found myself experiencing a wide variety of emotions including blinding anger at situations and happiness during the good times. The reader will definitely connect with the characters as Jeremy and Phoebe attempt to discover that elusive thing called love.
Kim has given us a story that will keep you on your toes, keep the reader engaged, shock you with plot twists and have you turning pages faster and faster! Toxic is a second-chance love story this is true -- but this love story is not one without tons of ups and downs, ulterior motives, lies, angst, and lots of drama.
Thank you Kim for giving us this book! I truly cannot wait for your next book!!
