I am so thankful I got an opportunity to receive an arc for this. It was such a good read and I am so sad It’s over. I’ll probably reread it cause I really enjoyed it. It’s an Enemies to lovers so the $exual tension and banter are
I loved this book and I wasn’t expecting to! It was a 5 star read for me!
This book follows Elena (previously known to be a bully) and her relationship with her broody neighbour, Lachlan Kelly - who is not her biggest fan! When the tensions rise and sparks fly, they can’t keep away from each other!
Firstly, what an incredible couple, the chemistry was palpable and I loved the enemies to lovers element of this title! I loved the way Elena was unashamedly direct, her blunt and rebellious nature was a force to be reckoned with and I love the way she didn’t let her past trauma (please read trigger warnings before beginning!) tear her down.
Lachlan was a dream, the way he tried to resist Elena at every turn and the way in which he reassured and empowered Elena was incredible. I specifically loved his persistent nature, the way he consistently showed Elena that he was worth the trouble was enough to win me over.

5/5 ✰ — i want a lachlan today. now. please. elena was the badass i needed and lachlan was the soft grump i needed. the beach scene between the girls damn near made me hysterical. elena and lachlan were the grumpy x grumpy couple that i needed. reaching the end. i can’t rank these couples or characters. i love them all, i want an epilogue novella
This is just such a solid series, I love this dark college world!
I haven’t read the Savage Crew series, so I don’t have any background on Elena from that. But she’s closed off unless you’re close to her and she attracts Lock who’s standoffish. To be together, they have to break through to each other and find that they have something solid and worth fighting for.
These two are spicy from the start of their fling. They aren’t looking for forever, but sometimes forever finds you. Elena’s growth, and so much of that is contributed to the good Lock provides for her, is the highlight of this book. She finds herself and Lock being along for the ride is just the sweetest.
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was everything and more! I loved getting to know Elena and Locks more. When I first met Elena in Savage Crew I couldn’t stand her but grew to love her in Savage U and this book brought it out even more. Her and Lock are so cute together and I couldn’t be happier for them Thank you so much for the ARC, Julia!!!
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
