TOXIC
(Logan's Story, Torn #4)
by
K.A. Robinson 


~ Synopsis~
True love is forever. After years of chasing his best friend, Chloe, Logan finally managed to win her heart—or so he thought. His world crashes down around him when she confesses to cheating on him with a local rock star, Drake. Unable to let her go completely from his life, Logan reassumes his role of best friend while he watches Chloe find her happily ever after with another man. Each day, he sinks further and further into his depression, and the kind, caring Logan he once was dies. When Jade, a member of Drake’s band, inserts herself into his life, Logan never expects to fall for her. He’s too broken, too damaged.

                Jade ran away from home when she was seventeen, desperate to escape her abusive stepfather and her controlling boyfriend, Mikey. The only regret she has is that she left behind her little sister, Bethaney. When Jade’s band, Breaking the Hunger, hits it big, she vows to go back to her hometown not only to reconnect with her little sister, but also to show her stepfather that she’s not worthless like he said.

                The moment Jade saw Logan, she knew she wanted him. Unfortunately, he was with Chloe at the time. After his world falls apart, Jade steps in to comfort him, determined to bring back the Logan she once knew.

                Sometimes, you find true love with the person you never least expect. Can Logan and Jade heal each other? Or will they forever be changed by their toxic pasts?


Toxic: Logan's Story is Book Four of the Torn Series, but it can be read as a standalone if desired.

~ Excerpt ~
Chloe quickly turned away from us and headed across the parking lot to her car before either of us could say anything. We watched in silence as she pulled out of the parking lot and disappeared around the corner. Once she was out of sight, I turned my attention back to Drake.
“You destroyed everything!” I shouted at him.
“Fuck this. I’m going back inside. As much fun as it would be to watch you two idiots beat the shit out of each other, it’s cold out here,” Adam muttered as he turned and walked back to the bar.
 Eric and Jade watched us for a second before turning and following him. I didn’t miss the pity in Jade’s eyes, but I ignored it. I didn’t want anyone to feel pity for me.
“You think I don’t know that, asshole?” Drake said as he glared at me. “I know this is my fault.”
 “Then, why did you do it?” I shouted.
“Because I love her!” he shouted back, stopping me in my tracks.
 Of all the responses I’d expected, that wasn’t one of them. Drake used women. He didn’t love them.
“You what?” I asked incredulously.
“I love her. I’ve tried to ignore it—believe me, I’ve tried—but I can’t. I love her, and I don’t know what the fuck to do about it.”
 “You’re incapable of love, Drake. I’ve watched you screw every woman in sight for months!”
 “I haven’t touched another woman since I figured out how I felt about Chloe. I wouldn’t do that to her.”

~ Review ~
This is the 4th book in the Torn Series but can be read as a standalone.  In this novel you get Logan’s side of things.  We get a deeper look into his pain, devastation and loss from losing his one true love, Chloe, to Drake.  But what you also get is the new found connection with Jade and a story to fall in love with.

I must admit, I was not really a fan of Chloe and when she ripped out Logan’s heart out and walked all over him I seriously wanted to slap her.   I get that she was in love with Drake and he was equally in love with her but after being with Logan for so long and considering him one of her best friends I think she could have had a bit more understanding and compassion for Logan.  She didn’t have to flaunt her happiness in his face while he was slowly dying inside.

So, I was happy to see a change in Logan when he started to spend time with Jade.  She’s not your typical girl but she was the girl that Logan needed and the one he needed to be with.  I liked Jades no nonsense attitude, but when it came to Logan she softened.  After harboring all of those feelings for Logan and finally getting a chance to see what is between them, they head out on a road trip to confront the demons of her past and reconnect with her sister.

But what they find on this road trip is so much more. Will Logan and Jade find the happiness they both long for and deserve in each other?  Take the roller coaster ride of emotion and find out for yourself.  If you haven’t had the chance to read the Torn Series, this may just send you 1 clicking.
