Review / Release Blitz: Sweet Like Poison (Savage U #3) by J. Wolf

Release Date: August 18

You need a keeper, Elsa.
The first time I laid eyes on the delicious mountain of a man, Lachlan “Lock” Kelly, he walked out of the room without giving me a single glance.

You’re in trouble now.
It’s my junior year at Savage U and life is grand. Except for the fact that Lachlan Kelly lives right next door, he acts like he doesn’t know my name, and he barely acknowledges my existence. I don’t get it. How can he so easily look away from me when he’s all I see?

The ice queen is melting…
A few angry frat boys and their arm candy make it their mission to ruin my semester and possibly my life. But I show those boys that messing with Elena Sanderson is a fatal mistake, and Lachlan surprisingly backs me up. And when he finally gives me his attention, I greedily soak up everything he has to offer.

You’re arsenic-laced candy
Lachlan tells me I’m bad for him, but he can’t resist the pull between us anymore.

I don’t break things.
I know he’s not staying.
When he goes, he’ll leave me tangled up in memories.

I won’t play games.
His promises have a time limit, even though I’m beginning to wish they didn’t.

Even if it hurts…
We were over before we ever began.

MY REVIEW

Elena (Elsa) is a fierce, take no prisoners woman. She has her reasons for this, and she never expected the man who avoids and ignores her to ever be the one she lets past her defenses. Spending the summer indulging in feelings could end up being the one thing that breaks her, though, because Lachlan reverts back to his judgmental self once their crew comes back. Now she's on her own again, and determined to stay that way. Never again will she allow anyone to hurt her, make her feel, make her trust. Lachlan's got his work cut out for him if he wants to redeem himself and convince her he's not going anywhere but where she goes.

I haven't read the first two stories in this series, but I have heard Elena was unlikable before. Well, I can safely say that whatever she was before, she is no longer, because here she's awesome. She's strong, a survivor, and feisty and fierce. I absolutely loved her. Now Lachlan...oh boy but I wanted to smack him more than once. He let his judgmental side take over multiple times, and of course it hurt Elena. But she didn't exactly welcome him back with open arms, no, she stood strong and made him grovel at her feet the way he had to. I love how he groveled, though, and so did she, and the way they finally found their way to happiness.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
