Tryst Six Venom by Penelope Douglas

5 Venom Stars!
This is a smart, sexy, super hot AND emotional story.
-Olivia is a kicka*s girl. She is smart, motivated and bucks the status quo. I LOVE her. She is mature for her age and seems to understand what’s important, the bigger picture.
Clay is a privileged debutante who has bullied Olivia for being openly gay, for being poor…but, really it’s her putting her unhappiness on an easy target.
They have a very intense relationship!
They even are competitive and aggressive against each other playing on the SAME sports team!
-Clay feels suffocated by expectations put on her. She is unhappy at home and with her life in general. She is fighting against parts of herself she wants to hide. She is bitter, unhappy and feels trapped so she lashes out.
Both of them have less than ideal home situations.
However, Olivia (Liv) has support and love from her older brothers who basically raised her. There’s a hint of resentment and guilt in the household, but they are there for each other(I love her brothers and their family dynamic!) Her brothers are interesting, funny and a great addition to the story.
Clay’s family has suffered a tragic loss and her parents are crumbling. She’s in a lot of pain.
She also feels pressure from her family to be the perfect southern society young lady.
-The two girls have great feisty banter. The hate lust vibes are combustible
