Sweet Like Poison by Julia Wolf

What can I say? I LOVE the broken ones lol, it just makes it so much more satisfying when they have to work for it, and this author always ALWAYS makes her characters work for it!
Elena! For anyone who met her in the previous Savage U books (not that you have to, total stand alone, but even if your starting here, you WILL want to read the other couples as well!) I didn't like her, she grew on me as she got older and started figuring out how to grow and be her own person (instead of a cookie cutter cheerleader type) I have wanted her to end up with a good guy... Enter Lock. Totally not a rich snob, blue collar salt of the earth, not her type AT ALL, but WOW the fireworks! I love these two, as b@da$$ as Elena is, she doesn't NEED a man to swoop in and take care of things, she has it handled, which is great because Lock isn't here for long, they want different things so they decide to keep it light no commitments... Yeah, when has that worked out in the history of ever? LOL when things go sideways, as things often do, these two shine. Elena will keep you laughing with her attitude and snark, Lock will keep you fanning yourself, and together they will keep you turning the pages because I mean COME ON, they HAVE to figure it out. For two people who are bound and determined to do what they want and think they have it all figured out, it was great to watch them figure out why people often say, 'the heart wants what it wants'! Bravo, another fantastic ending, but I NEED Julien's story!!!
