They were a pack. They found their own. Most were traumatized. Others took comfort that they were not alone. Rico Montgomery was torn from the pack at a young age when his mother was killed. With luck and knowledge, Rico survived among the humans for years before returning home.
Dionne was living a perfectly content life. One that she felt comfortable with until an envelope slid under the door instructing her to pack and leave with her two children. Years later Dionne is still very much involved with both Briony and Kendall protecting them from the evil surrounding their parents' deaths. Kendall's gift had become known. Briony's gift was with animals. So when she cozies up to Ranger Rico, she is a bit surprised about her feelings.
Fantasies can come true for those who enjoy some play in the bedroom. This story guarantees a quick read and innovative sex. TOXIC is more than just a tale of of two opposites attraction. It also contains a valuable lesson about chocolate.
An entirely new edition published by Loose ID McBride had a good, even excellent storyline. However, the writing itself drew readers down a different path wanting to connect with secondary characters and at the same time leaving readers clueless.

I received this ARC from Netgalley for an honest review..
Ms. McBride teases in Toxic, the latest book in her Truckee Wolves Series. This is a paranormal , erotic romance. You learn a lot about Abraxas, but the character unfold slowly leaving you with lots of questions.
This tale is a fast read keeping the reader turning page after page. There are more questions than answers at the end of this story.
I would recommend this book to anyone.

Toxic is an interracial paranormal romance with a fast paced and entertaining story line. Briony is a young veterinarian with her own small practice, a gift for soothing animals, a love of chocolate, and a crush on the local ranger Rico. Rico is the ranger who runs the local wildlife rescue with a true understanding of animals since he himself is quite in touch with his own "wild" side. Rico also has an unhealthy attraction to chocolate that will lead him into trouble as well as a healthy attraction to the local vet who smells like the chocolate that he unsuccessfully tries to stay away from. For such a short read McBride has introduced a host of interesting characters. Dionne, an ex-military woman with a convoluted and complicated past, who adopts Briony and her brother Kendall under very unusual circumstances.You do not want to cross Ms. Dionne! Kendall, Briony's brother is a highly intelligent medical intern with psychic abilities that make him highly sensitive to touch. Chase, the alpha of the local rag tag shifter community that has taken in many emotionally and physically damaged shifters who have escaped or been rescued from the Abaxas organization that abused and experimented on them for years. Finally, Sage, a shifter whose only salvation has been the role of Beta to Chase and the support of the small shifter community that he has become a part of. I do not normally read books this short because I usually find them unsatisfying, yet this little gem offers everything that a lengthier book would offer, The ending definitely leaves the door open for future stories and I am looking forward to more from Belinda McBride. This is definitely not the first or only book by McBride, however some of her other titles are M/M and all seem to be firmly in the erotica genre.This book does have steamy scenes and very light hints of BDSM, but it is by no means hard core. The sexuality of some of the characters do seem to be fluid; however there are no overtly sexual scenes between members of the same sex in this one, it is alluded to so if that is your line you've been warned. That's quite a bit packed into 141 pages, huh?
