Brutal Days: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Brutal days is the third book to the Hidden Valley Elite Series, but it is book 1 to Damon and Skylar’s tense enemies to lovers romance story. Skylar wants nothing more to finish her senior year as a writer, help her friend with her senior mission, and have nothing to do with the “Elites” as she does it. When her friend zeros in on Damon for her senior dream goals, things get tricky. She wants him and Sky has to help her. But how? He’s controlling, a jerk, one of the football stars who’s untouchable in their school, and to top it off Sky likes him too. She doesn’t want to want him, but she can’t help it. She makes a deal with him to help her friend, but she’s getting stuck in a huge the web of lies and she can’t seem to cut herself loose. She’ll sacrifice everything to help her friend, but her plan is bound to blow up in her face. Damon wants senior year to fly by so he can join his brother in college and run the football team there. His brother, his two cousins, and he have been working toward that plan forever. NFL together all the way! Unfortunately senior year is dragging by. He needs more to distract himself, but what? Underground fights normally help, but he needs more to dull his rage and distract him from his family life. He doesn’t like Sky’s friend. She talks to much, her perfume gives him a headache, and she’s clingy but he’ll date her if he can get what he wants from Sky. Sky gets under his skin. She’s mouthy and has a fire in her eyes, but he wants her. He can’t help but want to bend her to his will. Maybe once he has her he’ll get her out of his head. Hopefully. Will there little deal work out? Will her friend stand up for her or will she hate her forever? Will Damon get the distraction he needs? Will he ruin his senior year over some stupid girl? Man oh man do you need to read this book!! This book ends on a HUGE cliffhanger and you will want to run and grab the next book asap. I know that I can’t wait to read the next one! This set has been so great so far! The characters stories hook you in and you won’t want to put this book down. If you love new adult, romance, enemies to lovers, tense, spicy back and forth banter, and drama filled books then you will love this one!
