A 'must read' story of passion and need.


Witty, thought-provoking and at times uncomfortable, this first novel from Wayne Liversqge is inspiring!

A fast but powerful read.

Wayne Liversidge - Love’s Poison.

Narrated in the main by the author. Always a winner for me. No one knows the story like they do.

This is a quick read, but it packs a punch.

Jim meets Jenny on a blind date. It’s an instant attraction for them both and things quickly progress between them.
It all seems so perfect, but of course perfection doesn’t exist.

#Love’sPoison is based on the author’s true life experience.
It’s a moving account of addiction and the impact it has on not only the addict, but also the people who love them the most and want nothing more than to help them to a better place.

I enjoyed this book. Jim is a likeable bloke who has a big heart.
Jenny is a complex character, who seems to struggle to live up to peoples expectations of her.
Unfortunately she seeks the answers in all the wrong places.

This book was easy to get into and captured my interest immediately.
I wanted to know what was happening with these characters and I wanted a good outcome for them.

Wayne Liversidge has written his story well. His writing is solid and flows easily.

As a novella, this is indeed a cracking read.
If I’m honest, and this is just my opinion, I dropped a star because this book could have been so much more.
It could easily have been written into a much fuller book. The basics are all there, but I wanted to know more.
More history, more feelings and emotions, more about the raw reality of addiction and more about what happened next.
Like I said, this is entirely my opinion, and at the end of the day, what do I know?

#Love’sPoison is well worth a read. It’s hard hitting, emotional, tragic, poignant and thought provoking.

I’d love to see this filled out into a longer novel.
As it stands, it’s a fast read, but a damn good one.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Harrowing story but a worthwhile read

A true life story told in a very understandable and identifiable way. Although it was a harrowing tale it was well put together with its descriptions of situations and how the characters felt with feelings and emotions explained fully which hopefully help people going through similar situations.
The subject matter is unfortunate very common for many people in life.
Thanks for putting it into an easy read format so many can access this book to read.
Well done and good luck with the book ongoing.

A gripping emotional read

A whirlwind read which took me on a rollercoaster of emotions.. I especially like how the tragedy unfolds. I loved that it's raw and real. A warning about human frailty and how appearances can be deceptive, Very moving.

An intense story of love and loss

Love's poison grips you from the first chapter as it decends into a deep, emotional tale of a couple struggling with alcoholism. The story is delivered beautifully and really immerses you into the trials and tribulations of love, denial, recovery, and loss.

Powerful read

I found the book to be extremely captivating and expertly narrated by the author, with a compelling storyline that was both easy to follow and relatable.

It adeptly captures the nuanced experiences of addiction and its impact on individuals and their loved ones. The emotional highs and lows depicted in the book provided me with a profound understanding of addiction and its far-reaching consequences. I found the book so engrossing that I read it at a rapid pace, unable to set it aside.

Great listen with a shocking ending

A very hard hitting story that stayed in my mind for days after I’d listened to it. Definitely worth a listen. A story that had so much and that will leave you in shock.
