What a ride. Father against son love triangle. Top tier spice, drama galore. This was a good time.

I embarked on a riveting journey of love and risk. This story sets the tone for a gripping love triangle. Sianna's tale unfolds, weaving passion and emotional turmoil. Charlene Namdhari's narrative, skillfully voiced by Aiden Snow, Connor Hayes, and Yami Habibi, captures the intensity of Sianna's choices. The story, filled with unexpected twists and turns, unveils Sianna's transformation over eighteen months. Despite the character development, which felt a bit short, the plot remains enthralling. Namdhari's writing, narrated with depth and emotion, creates a compelling standalone audiobook that balances sensuality and intricate storytelling. I eagerly await the next installment in this series.

Wow! Fantastic book, it was filled with twists and turns, spice and angst! The amount of times I did the hide behind a pillow as I read, thinking that was going to be the moment. But ultimately an amazing story.

I won’t be giving an overview of the book because I don’t want spoil anything. All I will say is if you don’t like cheating in books don’t read this one. If you aren’t triggered by this, then please pick this up. It’s soooo good!

This was a really great read with a nice amount of spice. I absolutely loved that the MMC fell in love first and he fell hard (book boyfriend material right here 

👈)

Between the super cute pet names, the spicy tension and the family/love triangle drama, there wasn't much I didn't like. I ate this book up and left no crumbs. 

I would definitely recommend this if you enjoy: 

✅Family drama 

✅Love triangles 

✅Age gaps 

✅One night stand 

✅The MMC falls first 

✅Taboo/forbidden romance 

✅Spice

I am probably one of the few people that loves the love triangle trope and Intoxication had me hooked from the beginning! This age-gap, forbidden, love triangle romance was well written and intriguing! Aiden Snow, Connor Hayes, and Yami Habibi were phenomenal as the narrators in this book and was in awe of how well they conveyed the characters emotions!

Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just finished reading Intoxication by Charlene Namdhari in one sitting and I'm still trying to pick up the pieces of my shattered emotions! This book was a wild ride from start to finish, with a dash of fate, a pinch of seduction, and a whole lot of angst. The story follows Sia and Drake, two people who keep finding themselves in the most unlikely (and inconvenient) situations together. Their chemistry is undeniable, but so are the secrets and lies that threaten to tear them apart. I loved how Namdhari weaves together themes of love, lust, and loyalty, keeping me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. Be warned, though - this book is not for the faint of heart! It's got triggers galore, cheating, and some seriously questionable morals. But hey, that's what made it so ridiculously addictive, right? If you're looking for a steamy, exhilarating read that will push you out of your comfort zone, then Intoxication is the book for you. Just don't say I didn't warn you...

This was an amazing book. I just loved the age gap, second chance and boyfriend’s father all rolled into one. It was a great story and written beautifully.
