About this listen
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.

Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you’ve already slept with them. Moving to my parents’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.

Lev Zarkov is a real-life monster. No, correction, he's actually the devil. Except, when I first meet him, he's simply the mysterious, handsome man traveling next to me on a first-class flight to New York. And after being dumped at the altar by my loser fiancé who vanished into thin air the morning of our wedding, when things get flirty between me and the mysterious stranger, I think, why not? Surely, I deserve one night to forget. I mean, where's the harm in a little indulgence, right?

Story
One evening, two years’ worth of memories lost. Under the pretense of recovery, my father sends me to an elite boarding college, but soon, my memories start rushing back, and it’s obvious I’m not at Lakeside to heal. I’m here to hide. Navigating the scattered past to decipher the threat lurking in the shadows is hard while I’m kept in the dark and even harder when he steals my focus. Crude, arrogant, and threatening, he draws me in, and the closer I get, the less I understand. Waking up without memories is terrifying, but remembering the time I lost is infinitely worse.

I didn't mean to star in a sex tape, okay? It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds. It just happened. Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

Story
I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

Story
I was expecting a ring on my thirtieth birthday. What I didn't see coming was my boyfriend and business partner dumping me because he couldn't bear the idea of our bland sex life for the rest of our lives. When an opportunity arises to spend my summer in Las Vegas, I stumble upon my hot new neighbor and his photography studio. We strike a simple deal. He's the teacher, and I'm his student. My lesson is learning to love the body I have. In exchange, I'm going to save his business. I have exactly one summer to unearth the most confident version of myself before I go home and return to reality.

I should have run like hell and never looked back, but it’s too late now. I’m enrolled at Cadieux College, where secrets and deception line the walls, and the founding families rule without question. They all think I’ll be easy to use, to control, but I’m nobody’s puppet.

Story
She's back. We were kids the last time I saw her, but my innocent crush from childhood is full-grown now. And it's not so innocent anymore. She's a breath of fresh air from the series of one-night stands since being drafted into the NHL. I've only got one shot with her, and I'm not taking it for granted. I may give her the passion she's been craving, but she's the intimacy I've waited for my whole life.

My assistant’s onboard with the madness of playing my newlywed wife.

This was great!
Super sexy with a good storyline and a plot twist that I didn’t see coming.
The significant differences in speed of the narrators made listening a bit challenging.

It was good.
It was about what I was expecting. Nothing amazing, but it was enjoyable enough. The storyline was fairly predictable which is what I wanted when I purchased this book. It’s what I was in the mood for. A HEA with some sexual tension leading up to mid to high spice rating.

Meh
The plot of this book was just flat and had lots of holes, with a lot of profanity and unnecessary violence (in my opinion). The Nightblood university reference also was weird for me - was it supposed to be a vampire reference or something? For me, it was weird that he had a sex club that he never used? But he was trying to protect the club through an arranged marriage? The male character in this audiobook sounded like he was whispering/whining the whole time and it was difficult to listen to.
