Sweet Venom

By: L.A. Ferro

Narrated by: Edward Black, Veronica Pace

My love is an affliction.

It's not meant to be fixed, it's not worthy of protection, and it can never be conquered. It is sick. I am a poison that even the coldest of hearts can't survive. Or at least that's what I grew up believing.

Left to my own devices from a young age, I grew up with zero love or guidance. I was an unwanted mistake my parents were forced to endure. Loneliness followed me everywhere. It's how I know real love doesn't exist, and those who believe they have it are disillusioned by sacrifice as if that alone made their bond worthy. Some would say I'm a romantic masochist, but maybe I had to be because only an unbelieving heart could step into its own twisted fairytale through impulse and temptation.

When I flew across the country and showed up on my boyfriend's doorstep determined to cut ties with the diseased roots that continued to feed my sick heart, it was for him. For us. I didn't expect him to throw open the doors and allow his brother and rival to blur the lines between love and hate, stealing a piece of my heart for their own.

My strength. My tormentor. My love.

However, not everything is what it seems, and people with beginnings like ours don't get happily ever afters. The scars of our hearts defined our love. It was not welcomed. It was not painless. It was fought for with blood, sweat, and tears and tasted like sweet venom.

Intended for mature listeners.

Yes! Very good!

I liked from the beginning to the end. Well written and with a good narration. Very good choice.

Lots of spice!

Lots of spice, decent story enjoyed it A L O T was worth the purchase

The twist at the end blew my mind

I mean the whole book was HOT but I was not expecting the twist, but the way the whole book came together at the end was chef's kiss, but I so wanted more.

Love LA Ferro!

Let me tell ya… LA Ferro really knows how to keep a girl interested! This book was full of mystery and intrigue, and the pacing was wonderful. The author revealed piece by piece of the full story, each delivered at the perfect time to keep you wanting more and more.

I was listening in my car and got home from work one night, only to sit in the car for an extra 30 minutes just to hear what was going to happen next. That’s the mark of a beautifully told story. You just can’t get enough!

And the spice? Well, in true LA Ferro fashion, each scene was described in vivid detail until you could picture yourself as a fly on the wall, watching each intimate moment in real time. Can’t wait for more from this fabulous author.

Confusing but still solid listen

This had the potential to be one of the BEST dark romance/RH books out there, but it is way too confusing - but it's so good I didn't even care because the characters were all so likable. We needed more details on the relation issues among the male main characters and Charlie - it got so ungodly confusing on why there is relation, who is related to who and backstory and reason for their situation. But I'd still recommend - plus the spice is chefs kiss!

True to the Title

Sweet Venom is what this book is filled with, and I enjoyed every second of it. The narrators did a fantastic job bringing the characters and their story to life. This is my 3rd reread of this book, while my first listen on audio. I loved it!
