Wow this is such a brilliant read that you won't be able to put down.
Elena has been the person to hate in the Savage U books from the start but now we find out why.
Lachlan (Lock) has always ignored Elena but when she needs his help he is there for her.
The chemistry between them is off the charts and Lachlan gets to see her soft side that she doesn't show many people.
Could they be anything more when he has put a timeline on their fling?
I loved how they were together but i could also see how easily he could break her heart if he let her go.
So much drama and plenty of emotion with a bit of suspense but also so much love.
I absolutely loved the ending and can't wait for the next book.

This was the best book in the Savage U series and the Savage Crew series. I have been waiting for Elena's book for so long. It is crazy how we start out hating Elena from the first book from the high school series as the resident mean girl. Throughout both of the series, we get to see other sides to her.
Elena was amazing, and I loved how she owned how horrible she used to be and has changed. Don't get me wrong she can definitely be ruthless, but she will cut a bitch if they cross her friends. She is loyal and strong. She went through a very toxic relationship from the high school series and was raped by that same boyfriend her freshman year college. She experienced trauma and has never enjoyed sex or had an orgasm from sex. Until Locke.
Locke was so dreamy but stubborn. He is not looking for a relationship since he is just finishing college and then moving to Wyoming to run his father's ranch. Locke and Elena have a fling over the weekend while their friends are away, but Locke says it has to stop. Elena is super hurt, but they can't stay away from each other.
Their connection was so hot, and they had some really sweet interactions. The gum in hair scene, Elena sticking up for Locke against mean girls.
They really gave me major Rip and Beth vibes from Yellowstone. Loved this book.
I also loved Julien again in this book. He was a lot more wounded and broken from what happened to him from the previous book. He stands up for Elena a lot in this book and calls Locke on his bulshit multiple times. I can't wait for his book.
TW: mention of previous sexual assault, PTSD, trauma.

4.25. I really did like this one. Elena may be my favorite female MC of the series so far. SURPRISINGLY by biggest issue was with Lock. Which is a bummer because I have loved LOCK. Of all the problems he and
Elena had Lock was probably 96% of them. There were some really sweet moments with the couple too. And I loved seeing all the other characters. Their living situation puts them all in very close proximity.
*ELENA ASKED TO BORROW A WRENCH FROM LOCK
I patted my toolbox. “What do you need a wrench for?” “Do you have one I can use?” “I do. Tell me what it’s for.” Through the dark, she leveled me with a glare. “Murder.”
I hope this series isn’t done. I NEED A JULIEN BOOK!

I absolutely LOVE Elena and Lock! Sweet Like Poison brings Elena full circle and we get to see her in a whole new light. I love how much her character has grown throughout the series. And Lachlan, oh Lachlan! Nobody is perfect, and he certainly proves that as moves towards his eventual redemption.
Savage U continues to be a fantastic series, and I can't wait to see what's next!

What can I say, Elena and Lachlan were just meant for each other.
I was surprised to find myself rooting for this couple. I love that Lachlan refers to her as Elsa, his ice princess and sweet like Poison. Lachlan becomes Elena's mountain man. They just could not get enough of each other. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy slow-burning passion that turns into burning desire and ends with a Happily Ever After!

If you told me after the first Savage River book that I would want Elena’s story and for her to have a happy ending of her own I would never have believed you. Do I think every one of her previous misdeeds are okay, nope, but man do I fully understand now how and why she came to be that way and why she did some of the things she did. That is the power of a good story teller and well crafted characters. Over the course of the series JW has taken a character I hated and made me love her in all her prickly, bitchy, pink bat wielding glory. She was strong, smart, ambitious,beautiful, vulnerable, ugly, mean, rude and messy and I loved her for every bit of it.
Elena and Lachlan were everything I hoped they would be. Loved them together even if they were silly fools thinking they could do light and easy. Lachlan was a wonderful, taciturn, protective, supportive teddy bear and frustrating dummy. There were so many moments where his actions were perfect but then his words would just fall completely short of the mark or at odds with how he was behaving/ reacting to Elena. I loved him and was just willing him to get it together and have those two things (actions plus words) sync up. It took him a while but oh when he got it right he got it right. Lots of heat
