not my fave but still a good read. nikki was frustrating with how hard headed she was. i wanted to shake her & yell “just tell them!!” but she was fierce & took no bs from anyone which i can appreciate. i love how complex dex is. he can be sweet, goofy, & ruthless! loved all the cameos & reading how all 3 books intertwined! now i NEED torque & andrei’s story ASAP! spice 3/5.

I’ve been dying for Nikki and Dex’s story since book one, and it was so worth the wait.
I am obsessed with this series, I love a great and unhinged FMC and Nikki is no different. It doesn’t matter that she isn’t a big boss in the criminal world, she is just as badass.
Dex’s story will absolutely break your heart. Him and Nikki really are twin flames.
There’s not a TON of spice in this, but gods the build up to it is some of the best edging. Once we do get our spice, Marie absolutely throws down for us. The chemistry, dirty talk, and filthy scenes are incredible and pretty intense.
Marie Maravilla says in her afterword that we aren’t out of the Toxic Paradise world yet, and I’m so thankful for that because I’m not ready to say goodbye to this series!

Dex is an enforcer for a motorcycle club and Nikki is a dancer at Lotería who was introduced in book one of the series. It’s a dark romance with action that’s funny, angsty, and spicy. Marie writes fmcs that are badasses in their own right and men that love them as they are. Dex’s golden retriever personality was a surprise given his position in the motorcycle club, but it was very well done!

“WHY FILE FOR DIVORCE WHEN YOU CAN PUT A HIT ON YOUR HUSBAND?”
And this is how we start Marie Maravilla “City of Salvation” Book 3 of the Toxic Paradise series. It can be read as a stand-alone but I highly suggest you read the previous two to grasp the entirety of the story. It’s so worth it, I promise

4.5⭐️’s. Mafia, fake dating, one bed - say less. I inhaled Nikki and Dex. Nikki was such an interesting character from the beginning of the series and her backstory delivered. The sexual tension and anticipation between the two characters was so high that it was fireworks when things finally happened
