Sweet Like Poison by Julia Wolf
5.0
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.
