My rating: 5 of 5 stars

For being such a short and quick read, I loved this! Author did amazing with this story and my goodness, that cliffhanger? WHAT? I didn’t want this book to end and I NEED more lol. Cole is simply amazing and he’s got such a soft spot for his momma. He’s always there for her, especially when his dad is being a POS…which is 99% of the time. Riley is so used to moving because her and her mom are constantly on the go. Her dad is also a POS. There’s betrayal and tragedy and heartbreak in this..I honestly didn’t expect for the book to go the way it did. Great read though and I can’t wait to read more!

This is a really gripping short read. The characters are amazingly written. They have so much depth that you can’t help be drawn into their lives. Both the main characters Riley and Cole have traumatic lives. Both have family issues which affect them in ways no young adult should he affected.
Riley and her mum are on the run from her father. They never stay anywhere for long and because of this Riley has a distrust of people.
Cole’s family is very toxic. With a dad constantly cheating and his mother suffering from mental health problems it is a volatile mix.
The way Riley and Cole meet is unexpected but one thing is for sure they never forget each other.
This story does deal with some issues that may cause a trigger for some people like mental illness and the consequences of untreated mental illness. The author handles this in an emotionally honest way which brings the situation to life and makes your heart break for the characters involved.

I can’t wait to see what is in store for Cole and Riley and if they will ever see each other again.

Riley and her mom are in a new town once again….for a job or for a break? Riley chooses to take a stroll
Down the beach where she sees a house having a big party with tons of kids her age so she goes right in like she belongs there when she runs into Cole and tries to lie to
Him about who she is but, she didn’t get far. He kisses her to prove something to her and that kiss Cannot be forgotten by him or her.
Cole’s parents are having issues and it seems
Cole is the only one of the sons who actually
Care and try to help his mom.
Riley starts trying to gather information about Cole but not for a job….because she wanted to know more.
That ending though…wowzer!!! This has the potential to be a great series. Cannot wait to see what happens!!!!

Wow! I feel like I got tripped and am hanging off a cliff. This author wrote a hell of a prequel!!! Talk about a cliffhanger. The chemistry is sparking and gonna blow. I did have my suspicions and now I know they are confirmed. That volcano is going to blow and I have to be there to see Riley and Cole blow. Their parents are creating some family drama. The question is, can these two get through it and come out together on the other side. (cue dramatic music) Until the next book. On a serious note, the author packs a lot into the story with these kiddos. Drama, romance, suicide attempts, affairs, and more drama. I felt like I’m watching 90210, only better. I can’t wait for the first book. Bravo!!!

Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite Prequel) by Isla Vaughn
Genre – New Adult, Romance, Bully
Page Count – 55
Cover Designer – TE Black Designs

Virgin? Check

New Identity? Double Check.

Grifter? Triple Check. 

Look, it’s not like I have a choice about being born into a family of conmen, or women- technically. A girl’s got to survive, and by the looks of the new town I’m forced into, it’s time to step up my game.  

It doesn’t take long to survey my prey, steal a souvenir, and get stopped by a panty-melting local who steals a kiss.  

That kiss is poison. Not really, but the emotional kind that forces me to face the fact. 

If I give up my precious v-card to a guy, he’s the kind who would take it. Dangerous. Sexy as hell and just as deadly. Distracting enough that I somehow managed to get caught… but will I escape?

Savage Start is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult bully romance with plenty of angst, and the prequel to Riley and Cole’s duet Savage Lies and Savage Truth. 

This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing. It is not a standalone and does end in a cliffhanger that continues with Savage Lies.
