AHHHH the Elena and Lock book I was hoping for!
Julia did not disappoint. Elena's character growth is one of my favorites of all time. We first meet her in Julia's Savage Crew series, which is high school. Elena is the entitled, rich, bully of her high school and I HATED HER. We end with her book, Sweet Like Poison, and she is one of my favorite FMCs ever. She is strong, and isn't afraid to say what she is thinking. But she's also honest, honest about her jealousy and issues that stem from an abusive relationship with her ex. I just wanted to be her best friend, and I'm so happy she got her HEA.
Now on to Lock... my man Lock did not disappoint either. I love the silent broody type but my man took control when he wanted! Think of him as a giant Teddy bear that would easily turn in to a grizzly if anyone touched what was his. He was Elena's rock, her sounding board, her comfort and I loved their dynamic.
I really liked the pacing in this book. I don't want to give anything away but we get spice EARLYYYYYYY hehe.
Overall, I hope this isn't the last in the Savage U series (cough cough Julien cough cough). But If it is it couldn't have ended better.
4.5/5 stars
3/5 spice
tw: mention of prior abusive relationship and prior r*pe, mention side character child losses, violence, bullying, car accident
