Poison

De: Jade West

Narrado por: Annie Worthington, Dan Calley

When love is toxic and unforgivable, but you can't let it go...

He was the man who destroyed me, the monster who left me in pieces over a decade ago. I swore I'd never speak to him again, that I'd never set eyes on him again as long as I lived.

But I was wrong.

When life gets too much, and you need a release, the poison that might kill you becomes oh-so-tempting. I craved his body, his smirk, his laughter as he pushed me to my limits.

I needed him. Just once. Just one night. That's what I told myself.

No strings, no illusions, no promises. Nothing but the lasting thrill of his flesh on mine.

But when poison runs through your veins the way he runs through mine, it's toxic and eats you alive.

And this much passion always comes at a price...

This brand new second chance romance from Jade West promises to thrill.

Lucas and Anna

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

Poison by Jade West. Standalone. Audiobook and ebook review. Dual POV. Dual narration. Second chance romance. It's listed as 8 hours 34 minutes; I listened at speed 2.50 for 3 hours 25 minutes. Narrators Annie Worthington and Dan Calley both read well (English accents). I enjoyed the story and felt compassion for both main characters. Content warnings: H broke up with h because H believed he slept with and got another woman pregnant; fake pregnancy; fake miscarriage; h has epilepsy; light degradat¡on; H has a d¡rty p@nty fet¡sh; @n@l; h was r@ped by her fiancé; OW and OM drama; and Sebastian was not only a terrible fiancé, but an embezzler.

Anna Blackwell (35) and Lucas Pierce didn't a decade apart when Lucas was lied to. The night their relationship was officially over Anna had her first major epileptic seizure. In the end all of the lies are uncovered, Lucas and Anna are together (not married), Sebastian was arrested for his financial crimes, and Maya is sharing Millie with Lucas.

Incase you don't like children in books: Millicent Isabel Pierce (5; aka Millie) is Lucas and Maya's daughter and her existence is used against Lucas, but she has very little time on the page.

Villains: Sebastian and Maya.

3 out of 5 on my spice scale.

Interesting Kink lol

*Spoilers* Lucas’s kink was pretty sexy lol. I get that not getting the court involved was part of developing the antagonist of the story, but it was beyond ridiculous. You can’t just hold your kid over someone as blackmail. So that part was frustrating. And Lucas letting his ex AND his mother dictate his life. He didn’t even get confirmation from a doctor that she was actually pregnant?? And if it was his?? Absolute insanity.

NAUGHTY!!!

The smut is crazy (a little too much for me in a few spots) but i could not stop reading this book. Your heart breaks with the characters as theirs do, but you feel the joy all the same. Definitely one of the sexier books ive read recently with a good storyline too

Love is Poison - And I’m Addicted

My Review:
5 ⭐️ 4 🌶️

Poison is a filthy, messy, chaotic rollercoaster—and it’s absolutely everything. Anna and Lucas are a hot, disaster-prone duo who can’t quit each other, even after a decade of heartbreak, manipulation, and oh yeah, epilepsy and evil exes.

This book is raw emotion served with a side of kink, and trust me, it doesn’t hold back. It’s toxic love, but make it sexy. It’s redemption, but make it dirty. And Lucas? Let’s just say he’s the kind of bad decision you’ll keep making—and loving—over and over again.

The writing? Chef’s kiss. The spice? Off the charts. The drama? Whew, buckle up. You’ll cry, you’ll scream, you’ll gasp—but you won’t put it down. Jade West proves once again she’s the queen of filthy romance, and Poison is her crown jewel. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Really good

The story was excellent. The third act break up (I hate those) only lasted 2 short chapters. There were a few parts that I wish were more of a show than a tell. I really like how she handled the very real things that can happen during a seizure. Making that work with a very real kink was exceptionally well done.
