My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This quick read gave just enough information for me to be interested in reading the next book in the series in order to find out what happens.
Riley and her mother move from town to town…conning their way to survive. They have recently arrived in Santa Monica and her mom promises her that this time will be different. Feeling wary of her mother’s promises, Riley finds herself gathering information and storing it away…just in case. However, a kiss from a stranger puts a wrench in her plans.
Cole is caught between enjoying his life as a junior in high school and taking care of his mother’s emotional well-being. He often finds himself comforting his mother while his father is out of town. While at a party, he finds a stranger wandering around…and catches her stealing. Who is this stranger?
This story was easy to read in one sitting. The reader gets some good back story and character development. It leaves you with lots of questions that, presumably, will be answered and addressed in the series. Both of these characters seems to have a lot more going on than they let the world see…and I am intrigued as to how their stories will progress!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Isla Vaughn and though it was very short, being the prequel of a new series, I am hooked. It only took me about 2 hours or so to finish. The world the author creates is a very realistic one, the characters feel raw and real in their reactions to things. With a dual perspective of Riley and Cole, Savage Start sets off a whirlwind to come.
Riley is new to Santa Monica, along with her mother they have been running from city to city, from character to character since Riley was a year old. Always running from her father never safe until now, or so her mother claims. Cole is a local Elite of Hidden Valley Academy, along with his younger brother and two cousins. Cole’s life seems perfect on the surface, but the façade hides his crumbling family led by his father’s indiscretions. New to the city and a day of travel Riley finds herself walking on the beach before coming up on a house party. Allowing herself a few moments to do a “normal” teen activity she sneaks inside only to get caught stealing. The mystery man disarms her defenses stealing an epic kiss before she flees, but every moment her mind is consumed with fantasies of the kiss and the first guy to ever make her feel the dagger of desire.
Is Riley and her mother finally safe? Will the promises she makes come true? Will Cole’s brother ever learn the truth behind their mother’s mental decline? The author is beyond amazing, and I have already got my calendar marked for the release of book 1 in Riley and Cole duet, Savage Lies, March 30th, 2023, I can’t wait to read more about these characters and see where their story leads. The second book Savage Truth, April 27th, 2023, is the conclusion of Riley and Cole’s story with a happy ever after. I can’t wait to go on their journey with them.

This was a quick and easy read that will have you feeling all kinds of emotions. Riley has been living her life on the run for years taking up new identities when the situation called for it. Now she and her mother were about to settle for good in Santa Monica but Riley didn’t want to get her hopes up. Cole was living the perfect life, at least that’s what it looked like to those on the outside. When they run into each other at a party their attraction is instant. With all the drama going on in both of their lives will they be able to find happiness? We of course will have to read the rest of the books in the series to find out and I can’t wait!

This was a really good read! I was pleasantly surprised while reading this, not only because I wasn’t sure what to expect but also because this was a short novella, at only 55 pages. For only 55 pages this author packed a lot of story and content in this novella! This left off on a cliff hanger and there might be a TW for death/suicide if that is a trigger for anyone. But the ending and just the story in general has left me very eager to read the first book in this series! Kudos to the author for a great lead-up story!

This book gave me so much for being a short quick read. I experienced many emotions in this must read prequel. There are some twists and turns. The author gave me enough to sink my teeth into and left me wanting more. I am on the edge of my seat waiting until I can read what this series is going to reveal to us. I can’t wait to find out more about Cole and Riley and hopefully other characters as well. This author pulled me into this story and has me completely enmeshed. I highly recommend this book.

This is a new author to me and this story is a prequel to the Hidden Valley Elite series and I am on edge and this story felt so raw and real! Although this story does end in a cliffhanger….I am feeling a whole LOT of emotion already and I cannot wait to dive into the next book.

Riley is new to town, trying to find her way….and blending in when she can. When she stumbles into a party..she is trying to take a souvenir of some sort….until she gets caught by the handsome, Cole. One sizzling kiss, one moment…all it took for Riley and Cole not to forget each other.

This story also entwines family……Cole’s family, which has some dysfunction and mental illness and Riley, whom only has her mom and constantly moving.

I cannot wait to dive into this series and see what this author has in store for the Hidden Valley Elite especially what is going to happen next for Cole and Riley.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so totally hooked on this fantastic book right from the start that I literally couldn’t put it down so I stayed up until 2am to finish it! LOL
Adam Tron and Cristy Valor are fantastic characters full of heart and plenty of Sass. In fact I loved all the characters in this book even the ones who annoyed me! Adam and Cristys connection is immediate and full of steam. Both are shocked with how much they feel for each other and they both in their own way need to come to terms with that. Add in the extra pressures of celebrity and it makes for a very entertaining read.
Once again I have found a fantastic, very talented author part way through a series so I will definitely be finding all the rest of the books in the series and reading them ASAP!! See I told you I am totally hooked and can’t wait for more.

I enjoyed reading this romance story, it has kind of a darkness to it as well. This is still a newer author for me which I have enjoyed reading. I found this book to be engaging and hard to put down. It is a well written story where the author brought the story to life by using their writing skills and details. It is a story that I had no problems connecting with the characters and the reality part of it. This is a fast paced story that pulled me in from the start. The characters brought so much to the story which made it easy to read. There is great growth of characters as well as their chemistry. I really enjoyed watching the romance between them. This is a great story that I highly recommend.

This book packed so much more of a punch than I expected. It is quite a short story but the author manages to fit so much depth and development. I was hooked on this story as soon as I started reading. I loved the main characters. They just seemed to fit so well together. They had a strong connection and I wanted to read more about them.
I thought the way the author progressed the story was brilliant. It was an amazing story and I loved how it was all weaved together. I read this book in one sitting and could have read for longer. I cannot wait to read more of this series.

A prequel that definitely got my attention and now I can’t wait for the series

Riley is a loner, moved around her whole life trying to blend in and con people with her mother to make ends meet finds herself in an elite neighborhood where she most certainly does not blend in.
While out for a stroll in her new town she bumps into Cole who is somehow flipping on every desire for Riley and she Didn’t even know his name.
Cole ever the diligent son is always there for his mom because his father is a giant POS and this causes quite the tension in his household.

As these two start to gravitate in one another’s orbit and you can start to feel the chemistry that will undoubtedly burn the next time they meet you are left on an cliffhanger that makes your jaw drop … Looks like the series comes out in March I can’t wait !

WOW!! Dayumn!!!! How could so much happen in 50ish short pages? We got to meet most of the main characters of the series. There was a brief but intense encounter between Cole and Riley. There was a heart-wrenching scene for Cole and Damon. Well, I meeeaaaaannnnn…..There was so much for Damon. He had to realize the father he idolized was the villain after all. Can’t wait to see how Damon grows and changes. There are sooooo many questions left unanswered. Is the woman at the conference Riley’s mom? What is up with the long lost father that they had to flee and hide out all these years? Where does the mysterious uncle fit in? Can Riley change her ways?

I can’t wait for the next one in the series to be released! They won’t get here fast enough! I have to find the perfect shelf for this series because I have a feeling it is going to singe everything around it!!! So hooked and left waiting and wanting more!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
Hot For Me is the fourth instalment in the Balefire series however I was already half way through before I realised. Now I have to go back and start at the beginning although it can be read as a standalone. It is an erotic contemporary adult rock romance story. The series focus’ on each member of the band Balefire and this is Adam and Christy’s story.
The story is told in dual POV and truly exposes who the characters are. There are secondary characters that help move the story along some you will like some not so much, some with good intensions some without. It is erotic, sensuous, seductive, passionate and intense coming together that may just ruin them.
Adam can’t help but fall for her even though she has secrets but there are those who want to keep them apart.
Christy’s past is about to be exposed. A past that hides a secret she does not want to get out. A past that she works hard to stay buried and one that has haunted her for years.
What will it be that tears them apart? Her secrets or those who you thought you could trust?

There is always a staple of high school and that is a bully and the popular kids. Savage Start is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult sports bully romance. It is a very extremely short read at 55 pages. It is a prequel where it all began. Yes there is a cliff-hanger ending but it continues with Savage Lies where Riley and Cole’s story is told and then it continues with Savage Truth and more.
This is not your ordinary romance story it is deliciously dark and scandalous that pulls you in. It is intense and intriguing and hard to leave aside to go to work. There is drama and angst, jealousy and deep-seated lies and did I mention bullying? And let’s not forget the hatred that reins. But for all that they’re the deadly Elite. They’re the Academy’s football stars. The privileged boys who rule on and off the ground. Those who play to win and anyone who stands in their way is taken down. You do not want to be on their radar because revenge is sweet. They are playing a dangerous game where lies and lives are at stake.
There are characters you will like but there are those who you just want to rip to pieces.
I look forward to delving into more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Savage Start by author Isla Vaughn is the prequel story to the Hidden Valley Elite series. It features Riley, a teenager who is constantly on the run with her mother. They never can get too comfortable anywhere before it’s time to pack up what little they have and take off again. But there’s a boy she is swept away by and she has to know more about him. The handsomely popular Cole is often finding himself having to nurture his mother’s mental health while his dad is constantly gone for business conferences and working late hours. Will he find time to try to bump into the girl that comes along with blurry memories of a party, but definitely a kiss he can’t forget?

While the book is not even remotely lengthy, it certainly packed a punch and definitely has left me wondering what is yet to come. I felt like the bouncing back between Riley and Cole’s thoughts worked out very well and didn’t become confusing. I am definitely interested in seeing what comes next with Riley and Cole.

Riley has been raised in a world of cons. Her mother always has a con running and now they have moved again, Riley expects the con will soon be revealed. Meeting Cole he is the polar opposite of her and he lets Riley know he is on to her. Both have issues in their families and Cole’s is cusping the edge of changing everything in his life.

This is a cliffhanger prequel. The story gave just enough insight to the dynamics of the characters to peek your interest and pick up the new books. The chemistry is there, and I like that the characters are completely different but, in a way, have some similarities that it could pull them together. Looking forward to seeing where the story goes.

Isla Vaughn starts Savage Start out very well. The story pulls you in and you get involved in the character’s life and waiting for more. It did have some predictable aspects but was well written allowing you to continue on despite. Only complaint, if you could call it one, is it was over before it really got involved. Or maybe I read it too fast either way, would definitely read again and be sure I have the rest of the series handy to complete it all in one sitting. Despite the length, I am left wanting more.

This book is amazing. It is a short quick read that will keep you wanting more. I am normally not one that likes a cliff hanger but for some reason, I don’t mind it with this book. It is probably because, it was an incredible story that hit on everything I needed in a book. I was definitely left wanting more and feel that even if it did have a definite ending, I would still be craving the next book. IT sets the stage for what seems like an amazing new series. There is character development throughout the book which is something I always hope for. The twists and turns that this book takes surprised me but in the best way possible. There is everything one could hope for in a bully romance; heartbreak, love, angst, twists that you don’t see coming, and will leave you wanting more. If you have a few hours of free time I highly suggest reading this book and being sucked into it. I would suggest being prepared to feel everything the characters do because the book is well written. I can’t say enough good things about this book without giving things away and I don’t want to do that. Do yourself a favor and read this book you won’t be disappointed.

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.

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!!!

Adam

A bonafide pop diva, all sass and scandal, Cristy Valor commands headlines wherever she goes. The tabloids love her—and love to hate her. From the first time her sexy alto voice rolls over me, she has all my attention. When she joins Balefire on our latest tour, she sashays across the stage in her wild-ass costumes and parties hard enough to keep up with my boys and me. She drives me batshit crazy—and I love every second of it.

Sex on stilettos.

Pure trouble.

Our sizzling chemistry could shoot a rocket into space, and it’s not long before I crave her. For the first time in my life, I want to share everything with a woman. But Cristy is hiding something, something that holds her back from giving me all of herself. She’s about to find out that I’m a patient man—and I always get what I want.

 

Cristy

Adam Tron is the poster boy for tall, dark, and sexy. His bass rhythms are enough to make me cream my panties every time I hear them. Flirting with him during our live shows is a rush but nothing compared to what happens when I finally give in to my lust and share his bed. The problem is, sex isn’t all he wants.

For my entire career, I’ve set the narrative, teased the tabloids with scandals that kept them too busy to look into my past, too busy to discover the secret that could end the party for good. Adam Tron could wreck me, steal my heart—and my music. I can’t let him in. I can’t let him discover the secret behind the nightmares I have nearly every night. He thinks he can slay all my monsters, and it would be so easy to let him. But if he finds out the truth, will he still be hot for me?

Like the tagline of her first novel, Tam DeRudder Jackson’s personal motto is “love is worth the risk.” Readers and reviewers have praised her stories for her swoon-worthy characters, movie-quality world building, and strong writing. Though she’s a voracious reader of all genres of romance, her favorite genres to write are paranormal and contemporary. When she’s not writing or reading, she’s probably traveling or skiing or dancing at a rock concert.

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m a glutton for space, aliens, adventure, and romance. And this really fit the bill. My favorite character had to be Pola. She was just so funny and goofy. I had a hard time empathizing or relating to the FMC but to be fair she IS a princess that lives in outer space. (; I found her journey and the MMC to be so fun and filled with adventure. I ended up enjoying her character a lot more when she was gallivanting with the MMC. I really feel like (MMC) Darin helped break (FMC) Princess Mora out of her shell and helped her to grow from the beginning. Also- he’s so much better than her lame-o fiancée/betrothed. I am hopeful for another installment so the adventures can continue and I can see her develop more. This was a fun read from the author and my first by them! I’m excited they have a few more works I can consume and enjoy. Their writing style was fleshed out and enjoyable to read.

An enjoyable and engaging new adult space romance, which kept me hooked from start to finish. The reader is literally taken to other worlds in this Sci-Fi, fantasy story, and the descriptive narrative brings the settings vividly to life. Princess Mora just wants to break free from the constraints of her royal duties, and so escapes onto a tour craft, which is led by rebel pilot, Darin O’Joy. Mora and Darin travel together journeying across the galaxy, whilst evading a very persistent bounty hunter. The couple can’t deny their mutual attraction or their chemistry, which comes across in the narrative. However, as their relationship develops, Mora is still keeping her true identity, of being a royal princess, from Darin. As their journey continues, Mora discovers her own strength and the joy of being independent, but she will have to choose between true love or her royal obligations. This is a fairly quick read, and I was gripped throughout. The exciting storyline and wonderful characters, along with the fantastical world setting of moon planets, princesses on the run, rebel pilots, and space pirates, kept me happily turning the pages.

At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about this book, it took me a bit to get into the story. Buy once I did I was hooked. I was so invested in the relationship between Mora and Darin. It sucks that Mora is the princess everyone is looking at since she is the first princess, and her sister Pola pretty much gets away with anything, but it seems like Mora is done being the dutiful princess. Her escapades with Darin I can tell make her feel more free than anything and her soon to be fiancé seems kind of childish. I hope somehow they don’t end up together. The ending left me hanging and I can only hope there will be more to this ride!

This book takes you to a different world! I never imagined royalty would survive in the future but here it does. The idea of building bridges is great theoretically speaking…but we all know in reality there is no easy fix to obtain peace, especially when one side prioritizes power over peace! This book takes you to a new world with a very different environment and a unique way of life. The characters are interesting and have their own ideas on what is right for the world. Easy read and a fun addition to any fantasy lover!

“A princess on the run, a rebel pilot and a dangerous secret. Will love survive the chase?”

Lucky Stars by Fantasia Yu is a fun NA sci-fi romance. I enjoyed this space adventure, and as it is my first book by Ms. Yu, I am happy to have stumbled on it and have a taste for what Ms. Yu can do. I will definitely explore more of her work in the (near) future.
Ms. Yu has cleverly crafted a vivid world in which to set her story. Her writing is quite detailed and descriptive which helped to bring her whole story to life. As I mentioned this is a new adult fantasy- a sci-fi space adventure with romance, princesses, space pirates, a rebel pilot, intrigue, drama, bounty hunter, self-discovery, duty, love vs responsibility, hidden identity, secrets, finding love unexpectedly, banter, humour, and a touch of fate.
This is a shorter story, which makes for a quick and easy read. I read it one easy sitting, during my lunch break at work.
The story is set to continue in the next (?) instalment… looking forward to seeing what happens there.
Happy reading!

Thank you, Fantasia Yu!
