Cruel Start (Hidden Valley Elite) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Angelina Frazzini

Cruel Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a prequel within the series. It introduces Aspen and Phoenix and sets up their story before their duet. It was a quick read and I read it in one sitting but it was good!!

Aspen is new in town. She’s not sticking around long though because she’s off to Thane for college. She meets Phoenix at a party and decides to take a risk other than cliff diving. Phoenix feels a pull toward Aspen and now that she’s pregnant, he’s going to step up unlike his own father. He doesn’t have time for or want a relationship but he’s going to be in his kids life. Having Phoenix involved might be the biggest risk Aspen takes.

This was a fast read but it sets up Aspen and Phoenix’s story very well. I can’t wait to read their duet!
