Toxic Love

Venomous Gods, Book 1

De: Jagger Cole

Narrado por: Walker Williams, Emery Erickson

I tried to outsmart the King of Sin. Now, I'm his.

Brutal, cold, and illegally gorgeous, Dante Sartorre isn't just mafia royalty. He's also the tyrant owner of the infamously deviant and members-only Club Venom.

He's also my new husband.

In my defense, I wasn't supposed to be the bride. But I sealed my fate when I saved my friend by signing the Venom Devil's marriage contract myself.

Now, he owns me. All of me…

Dante thinks I'll play the part of the obedient little bride he needs in order to keep his club. He swears he'll bring me to my knees if I don't.

But little does he know, this marriage has an expiration date. And so do I.

You see, it's not just the simmering heat between us that's toxic. It's my blood and the secret sickness inside of me that's poisonous, too.

So if you choose to know our story, you must know three things: This is not a fairytale. Dante is the Anti-Prince Charming. And my name is Tempest Black, and I die at the end.

Toxic Love is a blisteringly steamy, dark mafia, enemies-to-lovers, marriage of convenience standalone romance by bestselling author, Jagger Cole. It features a smart, untamable heroine, and an ultra-possessive hero with "look at her and I'll unalive you" energy. This is the explosive start to the Venomous Gods mafia series. No cliffhanger. HEA included. For mature listeners.

Hot sizzling chemistry

I LOVED listening to this book. The chemistry between Donte and Tempest is scorching hot. Tempest is so fierce and Emery Erickson did a fantastic job narrating Tempest, including the voice of Donte. This book was super spicy and dark which made it so much better. I had to question myself when I giggled at the scene where Donte was doing some horrible violent things. But he’s a freaking sweetheart in some serial killer kinda way. I loved his nickname for Tempest, little hurricane.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.75

⭐️⭐️⭐️.75 but I'm rounding up because I'm interested to read more of Jagger Cole's books.

I enjoyed the read. For a while, I felt like there were too many characters introduced so quickly and early on. I think it would've been easier to keep up with if some of the characters were introduced throughout, but I don't know how that would've changed the storyline - double-edged sword I guess.

With that being said, I really did enjoy the book. Dante and Tempest were great together. I loved her feistiness and how much selfless love she poured into her aunt and brothers. Dante was an ass in the beginning, but that was to be expected with a marriage of convenience.. however, I did grow to love him as his affection and possessiveness towards Tempest grew.

I listened to the audiobook and both narrators were fabulous. The only thing I would change is that I wish it was in duet style because neither of them were the best at portraying the opposite sex, but I can look passed that because I still loved the story.

I love the story

While the narration is not my favorite, I enjoy the storyline and these wild characters. 4.5/5 overall

I love this author

I love the scenes also the plot was good too the fmc was 🔥

Toxic Love

Great book, loved the narrators, l love Cole’s writings but the audio books makes it even better

Tempest…

This author and both narrators were new to me. I didn’t know what to expect. Honestly they almost lost me about 3 hours from the end. Tempest was starting to make some questionable decisions and I don’t like stupidly reckless heroines. Or Heros for that matter. But I prevailed and kept going and it all worked out. It was a good story, the twist was nice only a little predictable but I read too many of these to be that surprised by anything anymore. If you have this in your wishlist but not sure if you want it due to a lack of reviews, I’d say go for it. Toxic love is worth your credit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️🌶️

Jagger Cole strikes again!!!!

Dante took the “my wife” microtrope to a whole other level!!! The possessiveness is top tier! He is probably one of my top mmc by Jagger!!!

Now Tempest is a feisty one! Jagger writes an FMC that has a real emotional heart breaking past every single time!!!!

Arranged marriage, enemies to lovers, and the Italian mon???? Literally my dynamic trio!!!

Another solid winner by him!!!

Finally a Jagger Cole Audible!

Such a good story with just the right balance of spice and action! Please give us more audibles!!!
