Blurb

New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr turns up the heat in a smoking hot, emotionally compelling romance that takes you into the world of Manhattan’s elite. Meet Jeremy McQueen, a sexy, intense, brooding entrepreneur who goes after what he wants, and Phoebe St. Claire, a socialite-turned-CEO who’s been drifting through life searching for something she thought she’d never find again–the right man to share her future.

Phoebe St. Claire has devoted herself to saving her family’s hotel empire–but her best efforts have not been good enough. With her whole world in turmoil, the tenacious go-getter turns to the once love of her life. Far from innocent, Jeremy McQueen was the guy from the wrong side of the tracks who her parents would never have approved of. Their years apart have only made the sexy bad boy more irresistible than ever–and their reunion is explosive.

When she asks Jeremy to help her salvage her family business, he agrees immediately, with only one condition–he wants her in his bed.

But soon surprising circumstances leave Phoebe reeling. Was this fairy tale romance just too good to be true? Will Jeremy’s secrets pull them apart all over again? THIS IS A STANDALONE SECOND-CHANCE ROMANCE WITH NO CLIFFHANGER ENDING.

My Review

Passion, lust, and a gripping storyline all wrapped up in a perfect novel.

Kim Karr has outdone herself with her new standalone, Toxic. A likeable heroine and a drop-dead gorgeous hero star in her newest must-read.

I love rebel Jeremy and somewhat good-girl, Phoebe, in this contemporary romance. Kim Karr knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat with a little mystery and suspense. I found myself tearing up at one point because the author knows how to slay you. You’re sitting on the edge and sometimes she gives you a nudge, but there are moments she pushes you off the ledge.

Most of all, Kim Karr knows how to write those steamy and scorching romance scenes. Hot! Hot! Hot!

I lost myself in Toxic. I was hooked from beginning to end with this fast-paced storyline filled with interesting characters. Jeremy is one of my top BBFs and is totally swoon-worthy.

Toxic is a full-length stand-alone and is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
