Intoxicated #1
Intoxicated: Blinded By Love
The young, vibrant, beautiful Paris lived life to her parents' approval. Successful and independent, she didn't need a man for anything. And if a man did catch her eye he'd have to meet her high standards. Well, that was up until she met the sexy, charming, and not to mention, wealthy, Lenox Lately. She had vowed to never date a drug dealer. But as fate would have it, Paris ended up marrying one.
Lenox was the boss of all bosses. He was the king of Florida pushing over 75% of the most potent drugs on the streets. He had a beautiful, loyal wife at home but Lenox couldn't seem to realize that. The fame, money & side pieces were more important than taking care of home. Still, no matter how awful he treated his wife she was always his backbone. With a fed up wife, and drama on the rise he had no one to turn to when things really started to heat up.
The battle between leaving or working on her marriage had taken her on an emotional roller-coaster ride. How much more could Paris take? Will Lenox eventually realize the value of the prized possession he has at home or will it be too late? Will Lenox's empire crash and burn at the hands of an old enemy? Or will he remain unstoppable?

Blinded is right. I feel I'm going to come back to this story even though it's a 2/5 for me. It feels so chaotic but that's good sometimes.

Wow.....
Omg.... I know that Lenox didn't snap n did like he said he was gonna do to Paris especially to Kingston. I wish Paris would just get Lenox out of her system so she could leave him alone. He don't deserve to have her. I can't believe that he beat her like he does. So now Big Mo is back now n Lenox need to take care of him for good. I want her to end up wit Kingston. He seems to know how to treat her. I really enjoyed reading this book. Great job mama! This was fire right here! Can't wait to read part 2! 🔥🔥🔥🔥📖

Awesome storyline
I don’t possess the words to describe Lennox’s level cunning and manipulation . He’s deranged and that ending was crazy and disturbingly good. Paris broke my heart. Her unbending commitment to marriage and loyalty to Lennox was beyond comprehension. The way that man mistreated Paris unimaginable. Part 2 has to be better for Mrs Paris.

Stupid For Love
Clearly Ms. Paris has been stupid for the love of Lenox because he is a slimy, cold hearted monster! The psychological and physical abuse that she has willfully endured over the years is ridiculous! And I would bet rent money that "Daisy" is her best friend!

Intoxicated: Blinded by Love was the first book that I read by Miss Candice, but I will be reading more soon. I read this book based on a recommendation given on Facebook. I was advised “she's a great writer. Her books tap deep into your emotions though”. I love a book that makes me feel different emotions, so I had to give it a chance and read it. After reading this book, I was mad I hadn’t found it sooner. I have concluded that it is rare that books do not contain some grammatical/spelling errors; however, this book contained less than I have seen in others. It also excites me when I can tell an author has spent time on editing and had an editor that is about quality and standards. This book had me in my emotions and reminded me why I can’t read in public i.e. almost had a few outbursts….
Paris: She was the type that didn’t appear to be missing anything growing up yet tolerated more mess than she should have as an adult to keep what she claimed to love. So many do this in real life... settle for what they have instead of going for what they deserve. I was glad when it clicked in her head that she was worth more, but sometimes we know our worth but due to convenience we stay out of fear of starting over. Hope she gets it together. However, if she puts up with anything else after how this one ends….I’m going to want to jump into the next book and beat her LOL
Kingston (The mystery man/boss/ prince charming … all of the above): Who would have thought he was who he turned out to be? Surely not me, but not knowing too many details about him kept me intrigued that he wasn’t who he appeared to be. If Paris don’t want him, I know quite a few, including me, who would say “write me in the story so I could have him”. One thing I do know how this book ended with him better not be the end or there is going to be some issues….
Lenox (The arrogant jerk/boss): Lenox may have been a “boss” running things, but he has anger/control issues. He may have had a rough past, but he uses that as an excuse for his actions. He isn’t required to face the consequences because the one he hurts the most keeps coming back to him. He has the attitude of I can do what I want but you better not or we got problems. I sure hope something happens to him just because I can’t stand him right now makes me want to curse just thinking about it!
I am excited for part two! I got a feeling that Miss Candice is going to play more on our emotions than this one. I think I’m going to try to start preparing now for what is about to come with this series and catch up on her other books as well...

Got dam
Omg this book was off the hook, I couldn't get enough. I even started reading the book and took breaks because I just didn't want it to end. I know how the book ended, but I really really hope Miss Candice did not kill off my favorite character which is Kingston. Omg girl u did your thing by me finding out the Kingston was the connect, that was epic. I can't wait to read book 2. Girl please hurry up, I'm waiting.

OMG! This book was crazy. Lenox is definitely the devil himself. I feel like I know who Daisy is hopefully I'm wrong. Lord I hope the end was just a dream! That ending definitely left me speechless. I need part 3 ASAP.

That ending tho!! I'm mad the book ended without telling me who the heck Daisy was, I have a pretty good idea but was awaiting confirmation. Guess it will be revealed in the next book...I hope. There were other parts that were left unanswered as well, so I'll definitely be grabbing the sequel.

Ok
This book was just ok It was definitely not a page turner. It took me 3 days to read this. Nothing really happened in this book. The best part was the last chapter. I hope part 2 is better.

This book was just ok. Paris aggravated the hell out of me and it was predictable what was going to happen next. The ending did pick up and it got a little interesting. My biggest issue were the details. As a Miami native I HATE when authors write about my city and state and get everything wrong.

Are you Serious?????????
I have NEVER read a book that I found more STUPID than this one! As a matter of fact, I didn't even finish it. I got to 36%, and I couldn't take anymore. I am SO glad that I didn't pay for this! I would ask for my money BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was a pretty good book. Happy that Paris finally stood up for herself. Kingston seem to be a good guy and her husband Lenox sucks

Good read
This book started out very very slow. I mean I even skipped pages but the storyline did pick up and it did become a real page turner. I can't wait for part 2.

Don't eat while reading! I literally choked on my bacon reading the first page! As I continued to read my daughter had to tell me to close my mouth because I had it open for the first 3 chapters. Thus was a very interesting read. However, the abuse would have some one doing 25 to life...
