I enjoyed this story and I am happy to be reading on in this series. I liked finding out what happened between Cassie and John (past & future). Now on to Kelly and Luke’s story.
Cassie Reeves and John Tyler had been star crossed lovers a decade ago. Until she betrayed him in a way he couldn’t forgive. Now they are face to face again for the first time. He’s a successful doctor in a small town on the Oregon coast and she’s on the run from her recently released from prison, abusive exhusband.
Where do they go from here? Are Cassie and her young son in real danger? Does John really want to help?
An engaging love story with suspense, angst and more.
When Cassie found out that her ex husband has been released from prison there’s only one thing she can do. Run! Fearing for her and her son’s life she disappeared leaving everything behind to start a new life.
John was furious when he realized who his new receptionist was. The same woman he loved ten years ago who had betrayed him and shattered his heart.
Luke thought it was safer for Cassie and Tim to move in with him and John.
There was so much animosity between Luke and Cassie due to their past relationship. John needed to grow up.
Evil is lurking in the shadows waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Cassie has made a lot of mistakes in her life but her son Tim isn’t one of them so when she realized her abusive ex husband make his threats a reality, she did the only thing she could, she disappeared without telling anyone close. Taking a job with a family friend was her only option but imagine her surprise when one to the doctors is he ex boyfriend from high school. John is not too thrilled at seeing Cassie again and when he finally learns the reason behind why she is really there, will he be the one to save her and will their chance reunion lead them to a second chance for a happily ever after? I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

This was a good book, very interesting especially with the way this book started out. To find out about Cassie and Tim her son and how she is running away from her scary ex-husband and running right into her ex that can’t stand the sight of her. So many secrets and so much hurt, it’s a story that draws you in and makes you want to find out more.
I had a really hard time with this book. I don’t give spoilers, so I’m not going into detail about what happens. However, I will say that there are areas of this book that make absolutely no sense to me. It was difficult for me to get “into” this book, but once I mustered up the energy to finish it, I was left wondering “wtf?”. Maybe I was having an off day, but if things don’t jive, I am critiquing like crazy. Some people may like the style of writing in this book, it didn’t work for me.
Lots of twists, suspense and turns to keep you reading. Great characters and realism brought this story to life!!
Poison sucked me in from the first page. It was a fast paced suspense and a second chance romance. It had me on the edge of my seat through the book and was hard to put down. I loved the main characters and where the story takes place. There is lots of chaos and drama takes place. Between a psycho ex spouse and bandaging up a past broken romance and starting over. I can’t wait to read the next book in, The Seaclusion Series.
Poison is a book about starting over and second chances. Cassie is running from a bad home situation and she ends up living in a small town working for her ex boyfriend John. We soon learn there’s some animosity between them due to events of the past. John and his brother Luke take care of Cassie while the danger pass.
Even though the situations surrounding the stories were hard and tried to keep you hooked to the book, I didn’t quite connect with it. It didn’t feel like Cassie and John were in love, one moment they were thinking about each other and the next they couldn’t stand each other. I also didn’t like the descriptions for our lovers. It made Cassie look weak, a party girl with no morals and John a cold hearted guy.
I’m still debating if I’ll read the next books.
Cassie’s ex-husband gets out of jail, and begins stalking her and her young son Tim. He tries to take Tim from school, so Cassie decides she needs to leave town (not a moment too soon). She gets a job and surprise, she has a past with one of the bosses, John. John’s brother comes to the office and recognizes Cassie, finds out the situation, and invites Cassie and Tim to move in his house with him and John. John is not happy, but goes along with it so they will be safe, although he makes it hard for Cassie the whole time as he can not forgive or forget the past. Marcus comes to town and attacks her sister. Great characters, angst, realistic, and I look forward to the next book in the series! This was my first of what I believe will be many reads by this author!
These character really drew me in. Saw some editing errors but liked the story enough to keep going. Was very glad I did. A lot of times I read a story and even though there are two main characters, the story revolved around just one’s perspective. I really enjoyed seeing things from the male perspective as well and loved the emotional roller coaster ride. Cannot wait to read the next book in the series!!
Wow! That’s all I can think of about Poison. I am a huge fan of Leanne’s writing and this book is another reason why. I love the angst, the suspense and all the twists and turns. I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait to see what she has in store next!
SPEECHLESS!! POISON by Leanne Davis was such a Rollercoaster ride of TWISTS AND TURNS and never a Dull moment page after page. It does have some emotional and physical domestic abuse that is not for the weak of hearts. But is So Beautifully Written and will have you intrigued from the Very Beginning of the Book. It has Suspenseful moments, Contemporary Romance and Heartwreching Aches and pains that will Leave you wanting more.
It was such an emotional journey for me that had me laughing out loud and then a crying mess. I CANNOT WAIT TO read more from this Author and definitely enjoyed this Suspenseful thriller of Epic proportions!!
This book has so much angst and twists you never see coming. Two former lovers who are forced to be around each other due to unfortunate circumstances. There is so much animosity between these two, but it all stems from their past relationship. it’s been years since they’ve seen each other, and things ended really bad between them. John hates Cassie for what she did to him, but he’s still willing to help protect her and her son from her psycho ex husband. Feelings change between these two, you know what they say,,, it’s a thin line between Love and hate!
Cassie is looking for a new start. Not just for herself but also her son. She takes and offer from a friend. When she shows up she is in for a bit of surprise. One of her bosses is an old flame from 10 years ago. When they ended their relationship, it was on bad terms. I enjoyed this book. There were so many twist and turns. I look forward to reading and more in this series
Wow, what a roller coaster ride these two have been on!! This story will pull you in from the prologue and you will not want to put it down until you’ve read the whole thing. Lots of twists, turns, happiness, sadness, mystery and major secrets revealed that you won’t expect. Great first book in a series and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Cassie Reynolds is on the run from her ex-husband, Marcus, with her young son, Tim. She believes she has found a safe place to hide but knows she will never truly be safe while he is out looking for her.
John Tyler had his heart broken years ago by Cassie and now she has shown up looking for a place to hide. His brother Luke offers Cassie a place to stay with them but John isn’t too happy with the arrangement.
When Marcus learns of a secret link will Cassie and Tim be safe and will Cassie risk the danger she has put everyone else in? Will John be able to put the past behind him and keep Cassie and Tim safe?
This was a good book and I enjoyed it.
I felt bad for Cassie with having to run from her ex as she needed to keep herself and Tim safe as she knew what he was capable of. I was very surprised when I learned about her past and everything that happened with her and John. I was definitely not expecting some of the things but I liked that she managed to get herself cleaned up when she found out she was pregnant with Tim.
I completely understood why John was so mad over the past and I wondered how long his resentment towards her would last. Initially I wasn’t sure what had happened that made him mad but soon I understood. His relationship with Sarah was interesting as she made comments to Cassie that were hurtful when she had no clue about what happened in the past.
I really liked Luke and everything he did to make sure Tim and Cassie felt safe and then Cassie’s sister Kelly when she stayed with them. I hope we get a book with Luke soon!
There were definitely some twists that I was not expecting, especially the one that gave Marcus a clue to where they could be. Marcus was evil and he was definitely smart in what he planned out and how everything turned out.
I was worried towards the end with a development involving Sarah!
The very end was good and I am looking forward to the next book in the series!
Poison is book 1 in the Seaclusion Series by Leanne Davis. This is an emotional read full of suspense, secrets, betrayal and of course romance. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one.
