He Loves Me, He
Loves Me Not...
 |
| "My body became a flame and he was the match that lit it. I was on fire." |
New York Times
bestselling author Kim Karr turns up the heat in a smoking hot, emotionally
compelling new novel that takes you into the world of Manhattan’s elite.
In Toxic,
Jeremy McQueen, a sexy, intense, sometimes brooding entrepreneur goes after
what he wants—the woman he left behind years ago. Phoebe St. Claire, a put
together, in control socialite-turned-CEO has been drifting through life
searching for something she thought she'd never find again—the right man to
share her future.
Our passion was
boundless. Our lust untamed. And our desire endless. He was the only man who
ever made me feel alive. Then, I betrayed him.
 |
| “He was crazy. I was crazy with him. I loved it. I loved him.” |
When he
reappeared, I didn’t question it. Trust rarely survives the wrecking ball, so
when he let me in back in—I didn’t hesitate.
Maybe I should
have.
What began as a
bid to save my family business, turned into a second chance at love. It felt so
romantic. Working together, side by side, with the man I loved. My dream come
true.
Nothing is as
good as it seems.
We had our
issues, but then again, every couple does. It wasn’t jealousy, or our too-hot
sex life that I should have been worried about.
It was his
darkside.
 |
| "Love and lust, in equal, healthy doses—now that’s all that remains.” |
I never saw the
end coming, until it slammed me in the face. The question is—did he?
Was revenge his
plan all along?
****
Sometimes you
have to wonder if your life is too good to be true.
Is it real or
just an illusion?
Does the man
lying beside you really love you like he says he does?
If the answer
is yes, you’re meant to live happily ever after.
If the answer
is no, you’re living my life, and nothing will ever be the same.
What you do
about it—that’s up to you.
Me, I’m in too
deep and there’s no getting out.
 |
| "Through everything, all the heartache, the loneliness, the sadness and sorrow, the one thing I never regretted was meeting him." |
I’ll take
whatever I can get for as long as I can because I know when it’s over…
I’ll never find
another man like him.
Ever!
I live in Florida with my husband and
four kids. I've always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an
English major in college, I wanted to teach at the college level but that was
not to be. I went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until
quitting to raise my family. I currently work part-time with my husband and
full-time embracing one of my biggest passions—writing.
I wear a lot of hats! Writer,
book-lover, wife, soccer-mom, taxi driver, and the all around go-to person of
the family. However, I always find time to read. One of my favorite family
outings use to be taking my kids to the bookstore or the library. Today, my
oldest child is in college and my twins are on their way, so they no longer go
with me on these outings. And although I don't need to go to the actual store
anymore because I have the greatest device ever invented—a Kindle, I still do.
There's nothing like a paperback. So now my four year old and I make dates out
of going to the bookstore--it's time I love and cherish.
I like to believe in soulmates,
kindred spirits, true friends, and Happily-Ever-Afters. I love to drink
champagne, listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart.
Connected was my debut novel and is currently available on Amazon, Barnes &
Noble , iTunes and Kobo.
Torn is the sequel to Connected. It is
available for purchase on Amazon, Barnes &
Noble, iTunes,
and Kobo.

series, check out my Goodreads page.
I have also released a new
stand-alone, THE 27 CLUB and another to release in July, TOXIC.
I hope you enjoy reading these books
as much as I enjoyed writing them.

REVIEW
I feel like I should warn potential readers that the relationship in this book is exactly what the title implies—Toxic. Go into it expecting toxic love, lots of ups and downs, breakups, jealousy, secrets, immaturity, etc. The characters will definitely work over your patience. So if you like lots of angst, drama and such this may be exactly the read for you.
This is a second chance at love tale, but it's also full of lies and betrayals. The reader has to figure out who's really trying to do what. Who is in love? Who is scheming? Is a HEA possible for anyone, much less everyone?
High society events, old money, scandals, corporate take overs, insider trading arrests and more make up the storyline. It also has the kind of love or lust that is so strong it makes people go to insane and dangerous lengths.
The best part of the book for me was figuring out who is behind what. The plot flips a few times with clues pointing toward innocence or guilt. I also liked the conversations and exchanges between all of the friends.
