Savage Truth is available now in eBook and Physical Book ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review
Savage Truth is the second installment of the Hidden Valley Elite series. It is an enemies-to-lovers, dark high school bully romance featuring the conclusion of Cole and Riley’s story. I have been following this series since the prequel and have absolutely fallen in love. The amount of heat, angst, secrets and emotion is top notch. Vaughn is known for her romance books that are full of complex characters, strong alpha males, and fierce women who bring them to their knees. This installment does not let you down in any of those categories. Vaughn’s previous book left you on a cliffhanger. Savage Truth picks up right where it left off, keeping you roped in from the very beginning. I recommend reading this entire series in order so you do not feel confused or miss any detail. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, story line, and plot of this entire series. I would recommend Vaughn as an author to all my reader friends along with this series. I can’t wait to see what else Vaughn has up her sleeve.

Savage Truth is Book Two in the Hidden Valley Elite series. The book carries on with the story from Book One that was filled with drama, anger, hatred, with a bully themed/friends turning to lover’s theme. It centers around the characters of Riley and Cole who both attend Hidden Valley Elite high school. Cole is known as one of the Elites at the school because he is a star of the football team and basically becomes the king of everything he does. He is the type of guy that guys want to be and that girls want to be with. Riley used to attend the school and has just returned after being gone for a year. She never imagined that she would be returning after being on the run with her mom from her mother’s psychotic ex-boyfriend. Riley also never expected to see Cole again after they shared a secret kiss while drunk at a party. Cole has not been able to get Riley out of his mind since then so when he sees her again feelings surface. In typical douchebag, jock, I’m-too-good-for-everyone behavior Cole decides to torment and bully Riley. She stands her ground and pushes back and the two play the cat and mouse game back and forth as they maneuver through their love-hate relationship.
In Book Two the story of Riley and Cole continues, and we are able to see its conclusion. The cat and mouse game between them continues and the chemistry between them grows. Cole realizes that he has intense feelings for Riley that he has been denying. In the past all he cared about were physical relationships but with Riley he feels a deep connection. Riley realizes that she loves Cole and has never felt like this about anyone before. Things heat up when secrets start to come to light about Riley’s mom and the true reasons Cole hates Riley and her mom. When secrets about who Riley’s dad is come to light and Riley’s life may be in danger, Riley must decide if she will run again or have the strength to stay. As the secrets and lies surface and danger looms, it pushes Riley and Cole to make hard decisions. Rather than fight each other they decide to fight for one another and protect one another at all costs.
This storyline may cause triggers to some because of its dark subject matter. As a survivor of bullying in high school it was a bit difficult to read at times. The characters are ones that you will either love or hate. Or in the case of Cole, love to hate at first. In the beginning, he was a bully through and through and had the attitude that he was better than everyone else. Yet, you cannot help but feel that there is more under the surface and must understand that high school is a popularity contest. Cole is used to getting his own way, used to winning, and used to being popular so he could not risk losing all that. Riley is used to living a life in hiding, running from her mom’s ex, and never staying in one place long. She just wants to get through high school and not draw attention to herself. Yet, Riley is not the type of girl to put up with stuff and will stand her ground and push back. She is strong and feisty. Both Riley and Cole developed and matured in this book. We were able to see a softer side of Cole that loved Riley and wanted to protect her from harm. Their love-hate game slowly bloomed into more, but it did not come easily. Great series that will have you reading to the end to find out what happens.

This was an enjoyable and engaging paranormal romance which kept me hooked. Nurse Lillian Milano has the paranormal ability to channel energy from the healthy to heal the sick. However, her unique gift is wanted by an organisation that wants to exploit this talent. Due to the danger both her and her family are in Lillian went into hiding, but then her sister becomes gravely ill, and she needs to find someone with enough vitality to save her. Billionaire computer genius Tristan King is that person, however he does not believe in the supernatural. Lillian and Tristan make a bargain, she must pose as his date for a hospital fundraiser, in the hopes that his lying ex-fiancé will finally leave him alone, and he will help her. Tristan’s mother is also dying and as the pair work together to save their loved ones they can’t ignore their mutual attraction. However, Tristan remains wary of falling in love and Lillian is worried that her secrets and her identity will be discovered. I liked the main characters as both Lillian and Tristan were likeable and relatable, and their chemistry came across in the narrative. The storyline flowed well and was a good mix of drama, the paranormal and romance.

This is an enjoyable paranormal romance which focuses on Lillian and Tristan. Ultimately a story about love, both romantic and familial, as they both fight to save their loved ones.
I loved the character Lillian – she’s so strong in the face of the danger, and risks everything for her sister. Her determination to save her is admirable and I think her fears and desires are written well. I got very invested in the characters’ stories and the outcome of the events they go through.
I enjoyed the writing style used in the book, it was easy to follow, and valuable information was drip-fed at the perfect times to make it feel more real and aids the story. The author built chemistry between characters so that it was almost tangible, and I couldn’t get enough! This was the first book I’ve read by the author, but I’ll be on the lookout for more!

Healing Kiss tells the story of a nurse named Lillian who has been on the run from an evil corporation who wants to use her as their guinea pig. To save herself and her family she faked her death and took on the new name of Zoey. Lillian/Zoey has healing powers that the evil corporation, Kinetica, want to monopolize on for their own gain. Lillian knows that if they capture her, she will be dead because they killed her mother. When she finds out that her sister Hannah is dying, she risks her life to come back and try to save her sister’s life. When she gets to the hospital, she discovers that she does not have enough energy to save her and needs to find someone she can draw energy from. Enter Tristan, whom Lillian meets by accident outside the hospital. She strikes up a deal with him without telling him the true reasons she needs his help because she is fearful of Tristan’s reaction. Rather than tell him about her healing powers she makes up a story, but secrets have a way of coming out eventually.
I loved how this storyline was laid out and the author’s writing style. The story was about more than two people meeting and eventually falling in love. It was also about the supernatural gift that Lillian had which came at a risk to use. Lillian’s gift of healing powers was one that intrigued and fascinated me. It was unfortunate that she had to hide it and herself from those that intended to bring harm to her and her family. I enjoyed the aspect of the evil corporation being after Lillian which added a bit of danger, suspense, and intrigue to the storyline. The characters were well written and the way in which Lillian and Tristan meet is quite believable. Fate brought them both together for a bigger purpose. I enjoyed how the romance slowly builds between them and the attraction between them grows. This was a beautifully written love story with supernatural elements, mystery, suspense, intrigue, danger, secrets, and lies.

Foxy Tails by Natalina Reis was an enjoyable story. I originally picked it up since it had a hint of magic, I was willing to try out the MM fantasy romance genre. When I read that Huli was a nine tailed fox I immediately thought of Naruto, if that is what you expect it is nothing like it besides his need for mischief (which is a common fox trait). I wish that the world building come had been a little stronger. The sexy scenes were very short and brief. I enjoyed that some chapters had a change in perspective between Huli and Xiao so you have a greater understanding of their past and feelings. The connections between the main characters and the evolving story kept me engaged. The ending felt slightly rushed and ended in a major cliffhanger.

This is a fantastic MC story, which really pulled me in right from the start. I loved the story and I loved the characters. Their chemistry was undeniable and only seemed to grow with each page. This book.had everything I like from this kind of story. It was riveting, intense and so well written. This is new author to me and I couldn’t have wanted a better introduction. This is a fantastic story that I would highly recommend.

I love a good fake relationship / engagement story and this is one of the good ones. Ivy and Ace are brilliant characters and I loved the chemistry between them. It was easy to connect with them. I enjoyed how the story unfolded and how their relationship developed. This is a great series and this book is a fantastic addition. I really loved the story and I am looking forward to seeing what else might be next.

Where can I start. I absolutely adore MC romance story’s. The mixture of strong protective men with the element of danger is always a winner for me. This romance is a slow burn which I enjoyed because it gave me the opportunity to get to know the characters in a more deeper way. And with everything that Ava went through it makes sense that Reaper wouldn’t want to rush things or make a move to quick. One thing I did feel a bit strange about is it feels like the second book as Ava and Reaper meet at Axle and Elena’s wedding so maybe we will get their story at a later date. As with all good MC romances our hero has a back story and Reaper is no exception, he has scars from past relationships and keeps his distance from women until he meets Ava. This is one woman he is prepared to protect at all costs. Ava fled to the MC club after her husband abused her. Battered and broken physically, emotionally and mentally she is trying to rebuild her life but her husband is always lurking in the shadows. Is she really save at the MC Club? Will anyone there care if her husband finds her? And why does she feel drawn to and safe when she is with Reaper.
Amazing story and I can’t wait to read more from this MC Club

It takes a special kind of writer to craft such a unique and gripping story condensed into a quick read. While it did give me the impression that it was just an opener to a new and bigger world, I thoroughly enjoyed each and every page. The characters were well developed and interesting to read about. I kind of feel like I barely know Belladonna and that there’s SO much more to her story. I anxiously await a sequel and will be one of the first to snag it up.
The first third of the book, in my opinion, I had a hard time differentiating between the stories of the French artist and Japanese artists’ stories. Once I had the story lines straight, I loved how the author intertwines past histories and current relationships to make you keep reading to find out what happens next. I will warn you- there are some tough scenes (physical abuse, kidnapping, etc), but overall, I fell in love with Celia’s story as she navigates a new friendship.
Not usually reading book with ghosts, I liked how I stepped out of my comfort zone and reading a book where a spirit ends up playing a large part of the plot line. I appreciated the French and Spanish phrases being either explained or paraphrased, because they were a nice touch to the story yet I am unfortunately monolinguistic. Overall, the plot moved fast enough, I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

This was an interesting retelling of the famous fairy tale. I found it to be a good read. It was well-written with the gay twist or POV. The characters all fit well into the story which helped it flow smooth. It’s an entertaining story if you’re into this genre.

Afflicted Love by Autumn Sand is the first book in the Rhythm Heart Series. This is an M/M Dark romance. The book is raw, real, and heart breaking. Be prepared to run the full gamut of emotions with this one. Kyle and Lyle met as young boys who both came from abusive homes. They became like brothers to one another. But as they got older those feeling evolved into something else. Their story is one of turmoil, struggle, heart ache, lust, desire, betrayal, and so much more. The depth that this story and characters have is truly amazing. This story will truly suck you in. It is steamy and devastating. Not for the faint of heart. Definitely a good read though. 4 out of 5 Stars.

It’s hard separating yourself from your family in order to protect them. This is something Lillian aka Zoey knows all too well as she hides from the Kinetica Organization, which continues to seek her out in order to study and replicate her abilities for their own gain. When Hannah, her sister, becomes gravely ill, Lillian/Zoey will do whatever it takes to help her, even if it means risking herself and letting others know about her gifts.
Is seeing believing? Billionaire and skeptic Tristan King sees her heal a young girl without really realizing what she’s done, though something about her has piqued his interests. The sparks between Lillian/Zoey and Tristan are evident from the start, but will acting on them derail the healing of her sister and his mom? Can she really save their lives by harnessing his energy? Will they ever let their walls down and be able to trust and believe one another?
This is a great paranormal read. Amanda Uhl has a way with words that will pull you into the story, making you completely invested in these characters’ lives. She is definitely going on my author go to pile with amazing books like this. I can’t wait to read more of her work. If you love paranormal romances with suspense, secrets, and great chemistry, then, this is a book for you.

4 Stars Obedience (Ties That Bind Book 1) by Liza Snow
Obedience is the first book in the Ties That Bind Series and is a Romance Suspense that will have you turning the pages till the end. This is a new author to me and I’m definitely going to check out what other books they have written. I wasn’t real sure what to expect going in but what a ride. This authors style of writing pulls you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. Her characters are fully developed, real and make the story come to life. This is a story about a Teacher- student relationship that turns into way more than that. I truly enjoyed reading this fast paced story that is packed with drama, suspense, romance and so much more. What will happen when the past comes back t? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next . I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Healing kiss is a slow burning romance that unravels the past the open a future. Lilian, left home under the guise and new identify of zoey. Rushing home to save her sister she meets a Tristan. Strong dependable, loyal and madly in love with her everything she dreamt of but she can’t have him. Zoey pushes Tristan away protecting him in fear of her discovery. Zoey inadvertently brings the risk of death by association. She desperately wants a normal life. But is that something even possible for zoey Lilian ?
This book is slow paced, the world building is good but leaves me wanting to know how things happened in her past to connect the dots at a faster pace with more understanding. The plot unfolds based on the main characters realization and situations. There is a spicy scene and does end in a happy ending with an epilogue hinting at a potential future book. I’m excited to see if the author continues a sequel based on Lilian’s sister Hannah

Brutal Days is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult, high school bully romance with plenty of angst. 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 a ton of heat and a HEA in Brutal Nights.

“He woke him with a kiss. That was just the beginning.”
Sleeping Love by Natalina Reis is another interesting paranormal MM romance with shifters, magic, action, adventure, danger, friendship, family, curses, forbidden love, friends-to-lovers, fate, angst, drama, agendas, and high stakes. This had definite Sleeping Beauty vibes with a bit of a twist, as well as Eastern cultural influences, and shifters mingled in. Thes Asian influences definitely added an extra element of interest to the story, for me. This isn’t your ‘regular’ romance, though- but still tugs on the heart strings. Happy Reading…

This is my first time reading a book from the author Amanda Uhl. I really really enjoyed reading it. Although it doesn’t have the usual supernatural beings you’re used to in these types of books, but it was just as good. And the power they do have is super interesting and unique. The authors did an amazing job pulling you into the intriguing world she has built. Also the attraction between Lillian/Zoey and Tristan is just the chef’s kiss. I would highly recommend this book to everyone, just make sure you have free time lmao you’re not gonna want to put this book down.

Based on a true story, the author has drawn us into his life and is showing us a venerable side of himself. This book brings us into his relationships with three different women who are more flawed than he thinks he is. The author does a good job of building the story and drawing you into these relationships so that you as the reader are experiencing these moments right along with him. You will definitely follow through the highs and lows, the happy, sad and anger filled moments. You will experience all of this and more.

Where do I even begin……this story…my emotions are all over the place and I am trying to keep them in check. I am totally in love with this book but the gut punch of just raw, pure emotions really has me wanting more. This is my first book by this author and wow………I am just amazed.
This MM Romance is dark, and you are on a complete journey with Lyle and Kyle. They both grew up poor and in dire straits with their families that involved abuse and neglect. Their vow is to be there for each other like “brothers”, Kyle always protecting Lyle at all costs..the trauma and emotional roller coaster they go through until they are separated by despair and lies. When Lyle and Kyle reconnect….their love for each other never wavered….more so than just being brothers in their eyes. What happens when jealousy, lies and the need to pretend start to crack between Lyle and Kyle?
This story really has me on edge, just thinking about both Kyle and Lyle….my heart is just breaking……if you like dark MM Romance this story is definitely for you, but be warned there are triggers that may not be for everyone. I am looking forward to book 2 already! The author left me wanting more!!
This was a great 5 star read. My emotions were all over the place. I was back and forth so much on what I was feeling, I felt like I was right there with the characters. They both have a lot to deal with and work out and it’s so hard to know while reading just what is going to happen. I wanted nothing more but for them to be happy, will they get happiness? I need the next book now so I can see what is in store for these two. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I can’t wait to read more from her and this series. 1-click and get started today.
This is my first book by this author, and I didn’t find myself disappointed with this book! To me this was a fast paced read and was filled with tons of emotions. This was based on a true story, and was overall a well written story. I enjoyed the amount of detail each character had and how the author brought the story to life with the turn of each page. We are introduced to a man named Leo who is trying to find love after his divorce. He finds that trying to balance life with 3 children and looking for love might not be all it’s been cracked up to be! He finds himself being surrounded after one disastrous woman after another! But the month of November rolls around, and Leo finds that he is introduced to 3 different women who might have the capability to alter his life for good! I enjoyed the emotion, laughter and overall world that has been brought to us by the author. This book was a great read that was hard to put down once I started it! I definitely recommend reading this book!

I almost passed this book up as it didn’t seem like it was in my normal wheelhouse, but I’m glad I decided to take a chance on it. Jim Shomos takes us through this timeline of what feels like “right person, wrong time” over and over again. Some may find it a little immature to try finding love repeatedly if you have unresolved issues, but I think it’s heartwarming to see someone who takes chances for true love. It is a rollercoaster of emotions as you are invested in Leo and his pursuit of happiness. You feel a stab each time something doesn’t work out, and relentless hope for just one stroke of serendipity. I really enjoyed reading this and taking the journey alongside Leo.

Sleeping Love is a beautiful friends to lovers M/M stand-alone paranormal romance tale. This story has a different twist and is not your normal romantic story. It is beautiful, intriguing and charming that is a quick and easy read. This compelling Sleeping Beauty fairy-tale retelling is filled with adventure, action, magic, princes, an evil king, banishment and curses. Natalina’s world building is well thought out and the characters are wonderfully written and well fleshed out. The cast of secondary characters are engaging and made me laugh. There is lots of sass, fun banter, love, angst, sadness, and friendship. I enjoy Natalina’s stories as they are engaging and creative. This lovely story will touch your heart and make you believe in a love. As always, I look forward to what comes next.

Foxy Tails by Natalina Reis is a story full of love and adventure that makes it that more interesting.
A really original fantasy romance, Foxy Tails combined elements of fairy tales with a quest involving magic, shifters, and a regal realm. I adored how unique this narrative and its surroundings were. In order to keep the reader interested in the characters’ adventures, the author makes several references to the culture and mythologies of ancient China. These references are both educational and fascinating.Huli and Xiao Ying, in my opinion, constituted a good pairing that was well-balanced. There was a clear connection between these two, and I enjoyed watching them grow closer even though their romance didn’t feel like the story’s primary focus.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even more one of a kind characters. The story really transports you into their world. I couldn’t put the book down

This story is an adventure in fantasy. Shifters, mystery characters and an almost human dog. Even a little romance brewing between Huli, known as Fox and Xiao Ying also known as the Healer, adds to the fun of this story. There are lots of questions but since this author has a way with words and brings the reader right into this alternate world all of the answers are revealed.
This story was fun and pretty fast paced..which is good for a fox on the run. Looking forward to reading the other stories by this author.
