3 venomous STARS?! **minor opinion alert**

I'm very aware of this book will contains triangle love between Ronan-Blaire-Lawrence. I have mixed feeling about this and turns out to be true. Sweetest Venom told from multiple POV; Blaire, Ronan and Lawrence. Unfortunately, some things just didn't work out FOR ME. Don't hate me, eh. Rated S for Spoilers!



1. I wanna slap Blaire so hard. She lose her shit. She didn't like the strong and fierce Blaire used to anymore. After she lose Ronan, Blaire couldn't move on and STILL push herself to be with Lawrence. Apparently it didn't work and she was such a bitch to Lawrence. Losing Ronan really shocked her to the core and she even didn't realize it. I know Ronan is the only one who make her like a special woman in the world (Well, beside Lawrence).

2. Lawrence's POV easily predictable. He was in love with Blaire. He received everything inside and outside her. Lawrence even open himself and his past wasn't shocked me. I just didn't like when the author made their world is small when everyone could meet. If only Blaire accept Lawrence's offer from the start and didn't meet Ronan, they would be a couple. Oops spoiler alert!

Lawrence reminds me of an untamed animal, magnificent as the king of his domain with hunger in his eyes and graceful movements. He’s danger, inviting you to play with him as he taunts you with a tempting smile. And you know that you will be hurt for having done so, but you won’t be sorry—no, never sorry. He looks like a man who was born to rule and fuck.

3. Such a poor soul. Ronan couldn't move on either. After Blaire left him, he fucked women which didn't work. He became an asshole. Ronan was soooo naive and it didn't occur to me how stupid is he. Ronan even couldn't figure his own shit and how does a woman like Blaire would live with him? With love? Puh-lease...

*cough* return to Ronan, he met someone who a bit similar to Blaire who is a divorcee. This woman, Rachel didn't ask for everything except to help him. But what he did? He's a jerk and no shit dude I hate you. The excuse for Ronan that he's in very emotional state like a wrecking ball. I just rolled my eyes, every time. I lose my interest with him. Resentful.

4. SEX is still SEX. Hotter than hell especially with Lawrence. No words but... that man could fuck. However, it's my HARD LIMIT to know what Ronan did to other woman. So... distasteful and immediately I bailed out. I didn't need the details.

5. Disappointed? Of course. Blaire couldn't figure out what she want because she was confused and... bitter? Also Ronan was so dysfunctional with himself and act like a teenager. Grow up man! I think Lawrence is the only reasonable person in here.

“With Ronan, he came into my world and tilted it upside down. I didn’t have a chance against him—he stole my heart. And it didn’t happen like that with Lawrence. No, what I feel for Lawrence doesn’t have a beginning or an end. What started as a distraction turned into something beautiful that can’t be named or explained or measured. Each of them owns different parts of me.”

However, I enjoyed the part when Blaire learn to forgive. She made peace with her past and really moving on. The strange thing happened when a llama came. (view spoiler)[Ronan's sister whose Lawrence's first love wreck everything they've build. CMIIW, Didn't she remember how she left Lawrence for another rich man? (hide spoiler)]. Blaire and Ronan's relationship is like a tug-of-war. Love to hate and I lost my interest when they're poison each other (like the title, Lol)



Conclusion? Is this angst? Damn no wonder I hardly enjoyed it. Also triangle definitely not for me. Menage is. Ciao!
