Title:
Toxic
Author: Meghan Quinn
Genre: New Adult Contemporary
Romance
His life consists of his best friend, Jack
Daniels, his favorite drug and women who give him what he wants and leave. Rook
Tyler lives for performing at night and wasting the rest of his days washing
away the pain from his childhood so he doesn’t have to feel anything...ever.
The only people he trusts are his band mates from Shattered Souls and he wants
to keep it that way. His life was completely under control and simple until he
heard the voice of Maisy Madison filter through The Tavern speakers.
Growing up in the foster care system with
her two other band mates from Twisted Perfection, Maisy finds herself doing
pretty much anything to get her and her band noticed but nothing seems to be
working. One lucky night, Shattered
Souls, the most popular band in the country, decides to show up at their little
concert and luckily signs them on the spot and books them for their tour but
the arena venues and massive amount of fans isn’t what has Maisy shaking in her
heels. It’s the deep baritone voice of
Rook Tyler that haunted her dreams for years that has her wondering if she can
actually go through with the tour.
The force is almost too strong. He can feel her everywhere he goes and no
matter how much he tries to resist her, he finds himself gravitating towards Maisy,
wanting to hold her, kiss her and fuck her. He knows he shouldn’t get
involved. He knows no matter what, he
will end up hurting her but he can’t help it, his soul is connected to hers and
the pull is too strong for him to resist.
Rook warned her time and time again but she
didn’t listen, she didn’t want to listen. She needed him and she didn’t care
that she knew deep down in her heart that their relationship was going to end
in disaster. She didn’t care that their jealousies, stubbornness and baggage
were getting in the way of their relationship. She didn’t care that they
constantly hurt each other and that no matter what they did, their love was
toxic.
Toxic, book one of The Addiction Series,
tells the story of Rook and Maisy’s relationship, how it develops into an
undeniable love and then crumbles apart every chance it gets. Follow their twisted relationship as they
fight off lies, temptations, addictions, users and try to overcome the toxic
love they share.
Rook watched Cruz walk away and
then turned and smiled at Maisy. She didn’t think she could handle the new
Rook. She liked it better when she was considered a piece of mold on a garden
gnome’s ass to Rook, it was much easier to handle her feelings. Now that he was
being sweet, she didn’t know how to hide her infatuation that he so blatantly
pointed out a while ago.
“Did
you have fun?”
“What?”
Maisy said trying to think about what the hell he was talking about because the
only thing she could focus on was the way his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down
as he swallowed. When did a damn’s Adam’s apple become sexy?
She
loathed herself.
He
chuckled at her inability to focus. “The photo shoot, how did it go?”
“Oh,
good.” She felt herself flush.
“Care
to elaborate.”
“Not
really.”
He
nodded his head as he looked around.
Damn
this was awkward.
“Maisy,
come on.” Pete said while waving her toward a room in the back. Kaid and Willow
were already walking away.
“Ok.”
She said while getting off her chair and walking past Rook. He grabbed her arm
and turned her around so quickly she lost her balance and had to catch herself
on his chest. She stood up quickly and brushed off her skirt which she had no
clue why, it just seemed like the right thing to do at the moment.
“Go
out with me tonight.”
“Excuse
me?” If it was lady like, Maisy would have cleaned her ear out with her finger,
cupped her ear and tilted her head toward Rook so she could hear him better,
but she refrained herself.
“We
have an off night and I want to take you out.”
“I
don’t think that’s a good idea. The media…”
“Won’t
be involved.” Rook finished for her. “I don’t plan on going very far. Say yes.”
His soulful blue eyes pleaded with her and she knew there was no way in hell
she would be able to deny him tonight.
