Braving Lily (True Platinum Series Book 7) by Morgana Bevan – Review by Maisie Dickinson

Braving Lily (True Platinum, #5)Braving Lily by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story follows Lily, a rockstar known for leading the band The Brightside, and Rhys, a ‘normal’ IT guy who she’s set up on a date with. They’re complete opposites and both think there’s no chance they could get along, but apparently, opposites attract. They fall in love, but will those differences come in between them? My favourite character is Lily because she’s a badass rockstar and also a sweetheart, and my least favourite character is Sherry for breaking poor Rhys’ heart. I recommend this book because it’s a beautiful opposites-attract romance, a pure love story where two people meet unconventionally, think they have nothing in common but it turns out they have unbelievable chemistry. I think I’ll have to read the rest of Morgana Bevan’s work! ‘And I knew, no matter how our brief time ended, I would always cherish our stolen moments together.’

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love a good dark bully romance, and this did not disappoint. Definitely a favorite trope for me, I cannot wait to read more from this series! Cole is a true savage and has plans for Riley, but Riley isn’t so sweet and innocent herself. She knows a thing or two about life and conning someone, will they each meet their match in the other? Possibly, but you should indeed read this to find out!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Savage Lies is the second book in the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn. It is a New Adult (High School) enemies-to-lovers “bully” romance with plenty of angsty drama, family dynamics, darker themes that may be triggers for some readers, emotion, and more.
I highly recommend reading the prequel, Savage Start, before starting on this book as the story foundations begin there, as well as character introductions, and other ‘groundwork’ which knowing will help you better understand what happens in this book.
As we discovered in the prequel, The ‘Elites’ are the top of the food chain at Hidden Valley Elite high school. They are brothers Cole and Damon and their cousins, twin brothers Phoenix and Shane. They are the football stars of school, and every girls dream- and they know it. It has been a year since the events in ‘Savage Start’, and Riley is back in town and enrolled at Hidden Valley. Soon sparks fly and personalities clash. Things are about to get interesting. But this isn’t a ‘light and fluffy’ read, be warned, the author takes a bit of a darker turn here which may be challenging for some.
I am glad this book was ‘meatier’ than the prequel, as I was able to really immerse in the story and begin to invest in the character/s and developments- which I hadn’t been able to do in the prequel. I am so ready for the next instalment.
Cole and Riley’s story started in the prequel and resumes here, concluding in “Savage Truth” (Book #2). Each of the elites are set to get their own book/s as well, making for a longer series to sink our teeth into.
Bring it on!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Isla Vaughn!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star novella. I loved Frank and Barbara. Their story pulls you right in. We get some steamy moments among other things. All of the other characters added a great element to the story. I also had some LOL moments as well. You could feel the connection between the couple coming off the pages as their story progressed. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I can’t wait to read more from this series and author. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH! I read the short prequel to this and I’ve been waiting to read this one and I never wanted it to end. Cole is 🥵 and I LOVE Riley. The push and pull/cat and mouse game they’re playing with each other, has me on edge. It’s a good thing though because I love the angst! They “hate” each other for many reasons but they can’t deny the physical attraction they have for one another. Cole has family problems and so does Riley. Can Cole get over how he’s feeling? Can Riley? If you want a book with drama and angst, read this! If you want a GREAT enemies to lovers book…READ. THIS. I promise you, you won’t regret it. This is such a great read I’ll definitely be re reading it in the near future. It’s one of my favorites! And I need more! It can’t end like that! 😭 I know this series is going to be 8 books…and knowing I have to wait till the end of the year to know how it ends is going to be torture!

Moving to a new place isn’t easy, especially when it means moving into a new home with people you don’t even know. Riley’s life got turned upside down when her mother moved them in with her boyfriend and his two boys. She shared a steamy kiss with Cole once and then ran the other way never thinking she’d see him again. Cole is battling the hatred building inside that he has for his father. While their chemistry is off the charts he still doesn’t want to let her in. How will they cope with living together? The story is good, the characters have great development and the author did a great job in keeping me, the reader, interested. I’m looking forward to how this story progresses in the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Constantly on the run, Riley has never known stability, save for her mom and uncle, but never staying in one place comes with its advantages and disadvantages. One of the latter being she’s never had a crush or been able to do what she really loves. All of that changes when her mom moves her to California with no knowledge of what scam they’re going to run. Only cryptic messages about staying and promises that things will be different, they’re different in the fact that she can’t get Cole Savage out of her mind or out of her bubble of loneliness and off of her lips. The only problem with one of the Elite wanting you? Is the fact that he also wants to destroy her, left with no other choice she refuses to cower and run, but when a bomb is dropped on both of them, they decide to up the stakes, get away from each other and never talk again. But can they survive that long with the passion building between them all because of a kiss?

The Silent RoadThe Silent Road by S.N. McKibben
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So when I started this one I just really wasn’t sure……..the writing style was different from what I was used to with other authors and I just was skeptical of continuing after like 15%. But I pushed on. I’m glad I did. The ploy of the story wasn’t like anything I have read before. This isn’t typically a book I would even pick up and read let alone finish.
The main character makes you have so many mixed emotions about him. Most of those are jot good emotions.
If you are having a hard time finishing. Just push on. The story as a whole, and the ending. Worth it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Savage Lies is Book 1 of the Hidden Valley Elite series and this book…I am totally all in! I highly recommend reading Savage Start which is the prequel and the start of Cole and Riley’s story.

Cole is part of the Elite 4 that pretty much run Hidden Valley… star football player, handsome and can get any girl….but what he cannot get out of his mind is his kiss with a mysterious girl. The girl is Riley. When Riley comes back into town and starts again at a new school, the same school that Cole and his Elite boys go to, Riley tries just to keep her heads down and get through school on a daily basis. Never count Riley out, she is a bit cunning and has no problem standing up for herself. When Riley takes Cole on…..then it is no holds bar….Cole knowing that Riley off limits to everyone else…yet wants her… but also tries to put her through hell and back. Cole believes Riley is up to something….especially mixing in Riley’s mother as well.

Does Cole succeed in freezing out Riley and th entire school or does Riley get the best of Cole in end?

This is a definite enemy to lovers high school bull romance and I love this story so much. The banter, secrets, lies, love to hate, sizzle and wit between Riley and Cole..wow……..I am so looking forward to Book 2 to see what happens next since there is a cliffhanger.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really good read! This book picks up a year after the prequel novella and starts basically right where it left off. The sexual tension was insane (even though there was a scene that made me slightly uncomfortable considering Riley was 17 during the scene) and it was just well written to me. This is a bully romance, so besides tension there’s a very scenes that may be pushing boundaries if that isn’t your thing. This book did end on a pretty big cliffhanger. Overall I enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read the next one!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions (Notebook Mysteries Book 5) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Jamie Burns

/0 Comments/in /by

Suspicions is the fifth book in the Notebook Mysteries series by Kimberly Mullins. This book took me back to my roots of being a bookworm sleuth. I have always loved mystery books with the first big series being Nancy Drew. This is one of my favorite series since then. Mullins grabbed my attention right away with Emma being attacked by an assailant who “stabs at her neck frantically with knitting needles…. They wanted me to talk to you first because I could keep you calm. Let’s start again.” This interaction was like a movie playing in my head. It felt so real, and the rest of the book flowed nicely with the same quality. From the very beginning, Emma has found herself in a criminal family starting with the old lady who attacked her. Will she be able to find all of the players linked to the missing children? Find out by reading Notebook Mysteries: Suspicions!

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

This is the first book in the Hidden Valley Elite series and I have been so excited to read it. After reading the prequel Savage Start and meeting Cole and Riley I couldn’t wait to see how their story continued and boy I wasn’t disappointed.
The fire and what they believe is hatred between them is off the charts. I don’t think I’ve ever read about a couple with such hate towards one another. However it is easy to see that the hate is just a mask that both wear to protect themselves.
Both Riley and Cole have had traumas in their pasts which have shaped the way they are today. Cole who lost his mum has laid all the blame at his dad’s feet, and Riley and her mum are always on the run trying to escape Rileys dad.
When they meet get both of their worlds get blown apart when Rileys mum and Coles dad become a couple. Now full of mixed emotions, desire, hate, feelings of being unsafe and vulnerable, Cole’s hate towards his father, they have to try to coexist under the same roof and at the same school. But how long can they both keep pretending? And what happens if the truth comes out?

This is an amazing read filled with pain and revenge but also hope and passion. I definately recommend reading Savage Start first so that you get the complete backstory to out characters and I can’t wait to see where the author is going to take us next.

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

Beware: This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing.
4.5 stars
Coming hot off the heels of the prequel Savage Start is the first Book in the Hidden Valley Elite series is Savage Lies. Thankfully this book is 201ish pages so we can get our teeth into this story unlike the prequel which was only 55 pages. Having said that make sure you read the prequel first.
This is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult, sports high school bully romance. This is dark and scandalous. Some of my favourite things. Being a high school romance, it is full of angst and drama, dark lies and secrets, jealousy and bullying. It is as intriguing as it is intense, and the fury and hatred is palpable.
She thought a new place would hide her truth and secrets but, in a world, where the Elite exists nothing could be farther than the truth. She has made a deadly enemy but she may have lost a battle, but she will not lose the war.
He is one of the deadly Elite, the Academy’s football stars, privileged boys who rule on and off the ground. Those who play to win and anyone who stands in their way is taken down. They are playing a dangerous game where lies and lives are at stake. She is now on his radar and revenge is sweet.
There are characters you will love to hate and others you will hate to love and others you just want to reduce to ashes.
It does end in a cliff-hanger. I can’t wait for Savage Truth. Who will win this war?

Savage Lies
By: Isla Vaughn

This book isn’t my first in this series, as I read the prequel – Savage Start. I loved this follow up. However, this one is not a standalone. I wouldn’t say that you need to read the prequel, but know that this book does not end with any resolution. Rather, it definitely is going to be continued with the second book. This book is the perfect balance of chemistry and animosity. Cole and Riley are such complex characters and their story only continues to get so much more complex. I definitely cannot wait for the next book. I definitely recommend it as it is going to be a beginning piece in an absolutely amazing series!

I can’t wait for the next book to come out! I’m hooked on this series! I read the prequel and now that I have read Savage Lies. I’m so happy! My only issue is it ended so quickly, I need the next book. I want to finish this story! These two characters are amazing. I love how the author has written the animosity as well as chemistry between them.
Cole and Riley, what is there to say. There’s so much hate between them. But they can’t stay away from one another. Riley feels Cole is a rich spoiled kid, when in reality Cole has other motives for his hate. Unfortunately for Riley he’s taking it out on her. Cole wants to break her, but she’s stronger than he realizes. He doesn’t know what she came from, but he wants her gone. Especially since she’s now living in his house.
Their story doesn’t end in this book, but it does have you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what’s next. What will happen between them? This is the beginning of a series I look forward to reading in its entirety. Two sets of brothers that are cousins, each being coupled into two books as the focus. What else could you ask for?
Who else wants to jump on this wagon with me? I guarantee if you like enemies to lovers romances trust me when I say this series is perfect, but they have to be read together. No standalones here.

They have such a strong connection that could be felt in every interaction.

I was so excited about this one after reading Savage Start. The tension between Cole and Riley builds throughout this book as Cole’s anger toward his father increases. This started a little slow for me and didn’t pick up until about 1/3 of the way through, but once it did I was unable to put it down till I was finished. I will be anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.

Riley, is truly a fish-out of water in this new life her mother has put her in. While she is treading water, she must remain strong, especially when it comes to Cole and his minions. I am looking forward to more of their story.

This is a series that keeps getting better and better with every installment. This is the fourth book in this series which you do not want to miss. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help your enjoyment of this series as well as this author’s writing skills. I enjoyed how the characters are connectable and pulled me into their world. They are strong and supportive of each other and keep the story engaging. I enjoyed the adventure of time travel and to see what happens to Will and Maggie. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is hard to put down. Don’t miss the adventure that Will and Maggie take you on in this installment. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

I can’t get enough! Riley and cole both have skeletons and what makes the story so angsty and frustrating is the lack of communication. But I can understand not wanting to divulge your deepest darkest secrets to someone you don’t even know or can’t trust. The chemistry between Riley and Cole is off the charts. It’s nice to see that although cole wants to ice her out, he doesn’t want her hurt, that shows he does have a heart and feelings towards her. I can’t wait for the next book and to see what becomes of Riley and Cole and their relationship, as well as what kind of man her father is to instill this fear her and her mother have.

From the looks of it, the answer is both. These two have had a multitude of trauma in their lives and their parents are not helping.

Oh my, Riley and Cole meet again. I must say, he has some set of cojones to act like that. Big bully that needs his butt set straight. I enjoyed getting to read more of their story. Getting some more background into where Riley came from helped set the tone and the mood. Cole’s need for revenge is setting up some bad stuff down the pipeline and I can’t wait for book 3 to see what happens. This installment of the series will have you right on the edge because it is intriguing, exciting and drama filled. The elite 4 and their ”witches” create problems. The characters are so well done. If this were on TV, I’d be glued. I’m glad it’s not, the picture in my head is so much more. I couldn’t put it down. The nightmare Riley had gave me a nightmare, so I’ll give a trigger warning DV. But this a must read romance that will pull you in and not let you out. The story is believable and relatable. These characters could be kids from your town. The drama, well, let’s just say that we’ve all been there. A must read. Definitely a series on my Best for 2023.

I loved Savage Lies. There’s so much about this book that’s addicting. I was waiting for this book after the prequel and was so happy when it came out.
I absolutely love Cole and Riley. They are both such strong characters but there both find themselves getting somewhat attached even if they don’t want to admit it to themselves because they hate eachother.
I totally understand how Cole is so against the thought of Raelyn.
I love the friendship Riley is finally able to form with someone and Cassie is perfect for her.
Cannot wait to see what Savage Truth has In store.

Rae does her friend a favour and does an interview with a home designer , thing is when she gets there said home owner is there and he’s not very welcoming to say the least but for the sake of his sister Kay he “tolerates” his house guest for the weekend and it pays off well for Kay and him in the long run …, the very long and beautiful run …😉

Dean is a delicious and delectable speciMAN but a little jaded after being left at the altar and he’s met his match with Rae though and she gives as good as she gets and the 2 of them had me in stitches in the beginning with their banter …

Rae didn’t have the best childhood and after her mum dies her grandparents raised her so after they passed on she essentially had no family so her friends are her family and she’s especially close to Brandon and has even travelled with him and his band I really felt I could identify with Rae on a few things like the loss of her mother and her thoughts on friends being family and the fact that a man and a woman can be friends without romantic attachments ….

Dean and Rae are good together and Rae has a big heart , Dean needs to sort his “demons” Pune gore he looses the best thing that came into his life and he can thank his lucky stars for a friend like Chris and Brandon that’s so gracious and becomes a friend …..

He’s chasing his honky-tonk dreams. She’s Nashville songwriter royalty. Will a road trip together set them on a passionate course toward their hearts’ desire?

Being a country music star is Hank Bennett’s ultimate goal. But after his band breaks up, he’s at a crossroads pondering his fate between music and working on the family farm. Lonely, libated, and a little bit lost, he attends the hometown concert of his country music idol, Travis Miller.

But he never expected to cross paths with Travis’s gorgeous songwriting sister, Ella Mae.

She’s outgoing, easy to talk to, and has several music awards under her belted daisy dukes. There’s something magical and mesmerizing about a successful female artist penning chart-topping country love ballads, and he’s smitten.

When Ella invites Hank to join them on the road during the last three weeks of the exciting tour, these kindred spirits can’t fight their attraction anymore – and his chivalry and wooing antics pay off into a night of unforgettable passion. She’s unleashed something inside him, and he’s unlocking her desires one by one. But a small town musician wannabe like him has no place in Ella Mae’s thrilling tour life when her famous brother becomes jealous of their unmistakable duo.

Will their shared harmony lead Hank toward country music stardom? Or will the dark side of fame steer him off course, leaving him a heartbroken farmer?
