Toxic: very harmful or unpleasant in an invasive or sinister way.
One word. Two consonants. Five letters. Two people.
Quinn James Carter met Solei Shayne Rodriguez his senior year of high school.
At first, he tried to stay away from her. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and if there were two people in this world who were meant to be together, it was Shayne and him.
Sadly, life doesn’t work out like you plan.
A single, brash, knee-jerk reaction has them both deciding that their relationship is never going to work. A cop and a notorious criminal’s sister can’t have a happily ever after, can they?
Consequently, they go their separate ways.
They live their lives.
And time after time, they come right back to each other, giving the term ‘toxic relationship’ a new meaning.
Anger, jealousy, hurt, and pain run hand in hand with their persistent need to stay in each other’s lives, no matter if it’s in a healthy way or not.
But eventually, time catches up to them.
Fate decides their path for them, and one of them has to wind up nearly dead for them to admit that they can make it work if they want to. They only have to try.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Shanye and Quinn. Thee two have had a relationship off and over spanning many years. I will go ahead and tell you that I cried many a tear reading this book. I’d have to lay it down and walk away from it for a little bit and then pick it back up again. These two characters are from such different worlds. He is from a law enforcement family and her brother is the leader of the local town gang. Despite this, they fell in love in high school and worked too hard to keep their families and things going on separate. But a time came when they no longer could. Quinn made one decision that changed the course of their lives and affects everything. So much so it affected Shayne’s career and made other relationship virtually impossible. Now they ignore each other, hook up, and go right back to ignoring each other again. There is a lot going on in this book and I don’t want to say anything else and give something away.
I will tell you that your going to love these two. Shayne likes to walk on the wild side of life. She is fearless, and gosh I adored the way she loved her Nona more than anything else in the world. She truly is a girl that you would root for and love to be friends with. Quinn is such a good person. He is really good at his job. I think they two were perfect for each there no matter what they went through in life. Filled with twists and turns and moments that will have you one the edge of your seat. This was a book I really loved reading.
