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!

I’m a hopeless romantic, and I believe in second chances, I really do! Toxic is a second chance romance and even though the book have you in suspense, you won’t be able to stop reading it, you will want more and more. Definitely a MUST read.
If you’re Kim Karr’s fan you will love this book and if you’re not you’ll become one immediately, I love her writing, this is a great story, a very good plot, full of emotions, you’ll cry, laugh and fall in love <3 with the characters, with the story…….
“Jeremy McQueen. He wasn’t just any boy- he was “the boy”. The only one I never should have met, and the one I’d never trade meeting for the world.”
Phoebe and Jeremy met when they were young, they fell for each other as soon as they met, the chemistry is undeniable but things didn’t work for them and they fell apart.
Years go by and Phoebe was engaged but deep down she knew she couldn’t marry her fiance because she was still having feelings for Jeremy.
One night Jeremy and Phoebe met again, and both knew that their feeling for each other remained there…
Will they be able to leave the past behind in order to be happy?????
“We can’t keep doing this to each other. You’re right – what we have is toxic. We’re just not good for each other.”
Love, love the secondary characters, awwww Jamie was lovely, he was Phoebe’s best friend and he’s a great guy, hope in a near future he can get a book as well, just saying!!! lol
