My Thoughts on... Toxic by Belinda McBride

Toxic

(Truckee Wolves book 1)


Book Description
April 22, 2013 
Genre:Vampires & Shapeshifters
Series: Truckee Wolves

There are three things that Dr. Briony Theale loves. Her job as a veterinarian, a good bar of rich, dark chocolate, and Rico, the ranger in charge of the Wildlife Rescue center. When a casual dinner with Rico turns surprisingly intimate, Briony realizes that she might just have a chance with him after all, if only she could lose a few pounds. It's the ultimate sacrifice, but Briony goes cold turkey, and swears off chocolate forever.

Rico Montgomery fell hard for Briony the first time he set eyes on the curvy little doctor. Her rich brown hair and cocoa skin trigger cravings he can barely control, and her fragrance is like the sweetest, richest chocolate he's ever scented in his life. That's a bad thing for Rico, because to a werewolf like him, chocolate is literally a toxin. After his pack warns him off the very human doctor, Rico finds himself even more drawn to Briony.

Rico can't live with it, and Briony can't live without it. And when a certain wandering wolf finds a bag of chocolate in the trash near Briony's clinic, these two will find out just how toxic love can be.

Note: This book has previously been released by another publisher but has been substantially revised and reedited in this edition.
Toxic is a steamy, fast paced paranormal romance that you won be able to put down once you've started. At least it was that way for me ;-) Toxic  was a quick read that I thoroughly enjoyed. I absolutely loved Rico and Briony. The way the two of them tried to deny their attraction to one another was funny and all the mishaps when they finally get together will have you laughing. 
The characters in this story were amazing, one of my favorites is Briony's mother. She is kick-ass with a capital "K". You will not mess with her children, she is a one woman wrecking crew. 
I look forward to reading more books from the Truckee Wolves series, Toxic  was an excellent start. I recommend this book to readers of paranormal and romantic suspense. 



 
I received this book via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
