Toxic by Belinda McBride.  This book started out great - I loved Briony and Rico and how they interacted.  It was fun to listen to Briony and her obsession with chocolate and her conflicting feelings about her weight and how she thought Rico saw her.  Rico's obsession with "chocolate" was fun too!  There were some things that weren't clear to me - what exactly Dionne was - it was explained a bit at the end but still I was a bit confused about her.  Also, the "bad guys" Abraxas - they never really showed up.  If there was more background written, it would have made a bit more sense.  Also, once Rico and Briony mated, there wasn't much of them together in the story.  Even when he saved her, it felt rushed.  I started out very hopeful for this book - and was until about half way through.  It wasn't terrible but I felt it lost it's connection and fluidity as it neared the end.
