McBride's New Book "Toxic" Is the Opposite of it's Title

 Belinda McBride has a done a great job with this story.  It was captivating right off the bat with an introduction chapter about the story of her mysterious and hard core ex- military Mom.  Needless to say that could have been another great book.  Then she swings you into the story of Briony a sheltered mysterious veterinarian and Rico a were wolf shifter in a small town who are attracted to each other.  Briony knows her mother won't approve of the relationship and Rico's pack has warned him away from Briony.  Fortunately, neither of them is able to resist the attraction.
I liked this book because both of the main characters were believable and a bit shy about revealing their secrets and true selves.  This made them such a cute couple,  and  really believable.  McBride then adds a twist at the end with an unsolved mystery about Briony's  Mom and her sexuality.  I have to admit that this kind of threw me off a bit, but it obviously was meant to lead to another book
This short novel was well worth the cost and the read.  McBride will go in my list of authors to read again and again.
