Blurb
Max is a certified, grade-A screw up. And this unexpected baby is his only chance to recover who he used to be.
He was the kid everyone wanted to be. Fun, cute, popular, good grades. But it was all a facade. Desperate for his parents approval, he started with Adderall. Then coke. Then more.
The only thing that snaps him out of his self-destruction is the discovery that he’s pregnant. He’s desperate to do something right in his life, for once, if he hasn’t already lost his chance.
Darius knows three things for certain: 1. he was born to be a tattoo artist, 2. once an addict, always an addict, and 3. if someone was given the choice between him and anything else?
He’ll always get left behind.
But he’s a sucker for lost souls. He’s been one his entire life. And his business partner’s younger brother Max is nothing if not a lost soul. Darius is drawn to help the young omega, but he’s wary of Max’s past with drugs…
One baby may be the key to heal these two men’s hearts, and maybe, just maybe, open the door to love.
Poisoned is the second in a contemporary mpreg trilogy of three men with broken pasts who became brothers, thanks to the only man who gave them a chance. It can be read as a standalone. Trigger warning for drug use. Warning! This book contains adult situations, with adults doing adult-only things, so 18+ readers only! Guaranteed HEA.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Poisoned, by Crista Crown is riveting story of addiction, pregnancy, and recovery. It's a great enemies to lovers romance.
Max is the family screw up, an addict, who's trying to get clean since finding out he's pregnant. His brother helps him and gives him a job, setting off a strong attraction between him and Darius. As attracted as Darius is, he hesitates, as he struggles with first hand knowledge of addiction and doesn't trust the omega.
The attraction is intense and the tension is off the charts. In other words, you can feel it jumping off the pages.
The attraction is intense and the tension is off the charts. In other words, you can feel it jumping off the pages.
It's a story of two people changing for the better. It's a story of hope, of desire to change and of recovery. It's a story of strength and support. It's a story of anger and forgiveness.
This is another great example of mpreg books being about so much more than the sex or pregnancy. If you don't read them, just take a chance and try one. Some of the stories and romances, as well as the struggles, are superb.
With Poisoned, Crista Crown has created a wonderful story of overcoming drugs and addiction. It's a beautiful slow burn romance, that is wonderfully developed.
