Tryst Six Venom

By Penelope Douglas

Away games, back seats, and the locker room after hours...New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas is back with this spicy new adult romance, now with bonus material. Marymount girls are good girls. Even if they weren't, no one would know, because girls like Clay Collins keep their mouths shut. Not that Clay has anything to share, anyway. Always in control, she owns the hallways, walking tall on Monday and then dropping to her knees like the good Catholic girl she is on Sunday. What she wants she has to hide. Liv Jaeger crosses the tracks every day for one reason: to graduate from high school and get into the Ivy League. But Clay—with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents—torments her daily and thinks Liv won't fight back. At least not until Liv gets Clay alone and finds out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes. Liv told Clay to stay on her side of town. But one night, Clay doesn't listen. And once Liv is done with her, she'll never be a good girl again.

I only really read this book becuase I heard I had to before I could read Five Brothers. The spice may have been enjoyable, but the overall bully romance vibe and the plot were lacking. It was very long and repetitive. It was also difficult to relate to anyone other than Liv, who is probably the only redeemable character, but who is also a complete doormat throughout probably the entire story.

This is a great bully romance!
Clay is the mean, rich girl who has bullied Olivia, the poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks, through their entire high school life but it turns out Clay is secretly in love with her.
There is very little spice, so I'm giving it 🌶1/5 chilis on the spicy scale. Very slow burn.
The end of the book is fantastic, Olivia never backs down and at prom changes the relationship they've built in secret to a public one by buying Clay a tux to wear and they debut together as a couple.
It has an HEA and an epilogue that is 4 years out in the future but is not super informative.
I listened to the audiobook, its duel narration, 2 POVs, 2 narrators, first person.

For those who went through a coming out, a lot of this may hit close to home. But over all the story shows a lot of strength but still has some good spicy tension.
