Savage Lies (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Christie Mitchum

Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1)Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a fantastic enemies-to-lovers, new adult high school bully romance this one was! Isla Vaughn is a new writer for me, and I’m so thrilled that I discovered her.

Cole and Riley come from two completely different worlds. Cole comes from a privileged world, and Riley has been running most of her life with her mother. Now, their two worlds collide when they discover their parents are together. Riley is soon plunged into Cole’s world. She isn’t happy about it, and Cole most certainly isn’t. A kiss they shared in the past makes Cole dislike her even more. He has plans to destroy her and make her and her mother disappear from his life. Too bad he can’t turn his hidden desire for her off though! Riley has those same feelings for him too. Both have secrets they want to stay hidden which makes things even more complicated.

While the book is in the genre of enemies to lovers and a high school bully romance, there is also an air of suspense!!! The angst and chemistry between these two is off the charts which makes for great reading!

This is just the first book in the series, and it’s already so good! It does end in a cliffhanger, and boy what a cliffhanger it is! I know a lot of readers hate cliffhangers, but I love them! I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart – Review by Christie Mitchum

Ale's Fair in Love and War (Love on Tap, #1)Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ale’s Fair in Love and War is a sweet and spicy enemies to lover’s romance with a good deal of humor sprinkled throughout the pages!

Hollis and Cash are neighbors and not good to each other AT ALL! In fact, from their very first meeting, they are at odds with one another. The only thing they have in common is that they are business owners trying to make their businesses a success. As their arguments and misunderstandings continued, they decided to begin pulling pranks on each other, and some are really bad yet oh-so-funny! When Cash thinks Hollis has gone too far, that’s actually when these two give into their hidden desire for one another. That’s when the story gets REALLY GOOD!!!

I loved both Cash and Hollis, and the addition of their families made the book even better. The characters were well-fleshed out and multi-dimensional. Oh my, the banter between these two was priceless! Their chemistry literally burned up the pages of this book.

Sylvie Stewart is a new writer to me, and I’m so glad to have discovered her. Her writing is fantastic. I love the way she sets her readers up for the next book in the series. If it is as good as this one, it’s sure to be a winner!
