Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite #0.5)Savage Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Savage Start was an intriguing introduction to the Hidden Valley Elite series. It was well written, full of action, pulled you in right away, and was able to hold your attention till the unfortunately abrupt ending. Yes, it definitely did end on a cliffhanger but also what felt like an incomplete story. I am intrigued enough to pick up book two and am looking forward to more of Isla Vaughn’s writing and more of Riley and Cole’s story.

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heart stopping for sure. Sylvia Black continues to draw you into the world of the Masters of the Consulate in book nine. Sheba is a traitor after being one of the most trusted allies but so much more awaits. Dual perspectives of Master Botosoni and Catina. This series each book is a guaranteed happy ever after, but this one made my heart stop in fear when the lack of communications almost took away everything.
Master Botosoni is stunned learning Sheba has turned and is in the forest nearby, at the base of the Carpathian Mountain range. The very lands that each faction of the underworld fights for with their blood claiming it as their land. All for the secrets hidden within. Catina is the only daughter in a traveler family. Deemed too old to marry off at twenty-one her family try to sell her with her virginity as the big draw. Botosoni is told by many of the Lords in his region to visit her, let her do a reading for him she is good and can help him in the hunt for the rogues and shifters, Sheba included. Instantly they are drawn together but when her family returns too soon, she tells them lies with a promise of a big payout to get them to leave her with the vampires. She only wants to help but overhearing the story on the security system Botosani instantly takes it as truth after hearing of the con from his second in command. Hearing that her family is near the rogues and shifters camp she flees to save them and make them leave the area before they become the next snack. Not a word said to Botosoni as her heart breaks hearing him call her a liar. Omens plague her mind as she races to the mountain.
Will Catina save her family in time or become a victim herself completing the omen of her brutal attack? How do they survive the communication flop and find their way back together? This world, the characters, the plot, the ever evolving and developing story as everything is revealed in time and across each book draws you in. The author’s talent no joke her description of the soup early on made me so hungry I had to make a snack as soon as I finished the chapter. I truly cannot wait for book ten, Master Oradea, April 26th, 2026. Happy 12th birthday to my son, but mommy will be in the corner reading the next book every chance she gets.

Savage Start by Isla Vaughn is the Prequel book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series. I did not read this book until after I had read the rest of the series. But I highly recommend reading it first. It gives insight into Riley and Cole’s initial meeting as it is alluded to in the series proper. When I say that this series has had an absolute chokehold on me from the beginning it is no exaggeration. This is an absolute must read series and an instant read author for me. Five out of Five stars!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Savage Start is the prequel to Savage Lies in the Hidden Valley Elite series! It’s a great start to a fantastic series.

I have already read the entire series, but I had to come back and read the prequel when I had the opportunity to see where it all began! Cole and Riley are from completely different worlds. Cole was born into a world of wealth and privilege. Riley has been most of her life running with her mother and a grifter. Her new target is Cole. She plans to steal a souvenir and leave undetected. It seems like an easy enough task until she gets stopped by Cole. Not only does she get caught by him, but she shares a steamy kiss with him. Neither have a clue what the repercussions that passionate kiss would have.

This series would become one of my favorites, and this novella did a great job of giving me the background of Riley and Cole. If you like new adult, a good, steamy bully romance, and an epic enemies-to-lovers book, this prequel and the duet are not to be missed!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me start by saying this is one of my favorite series and authors. I have read every book this author has published and they keep getting better. This book was the prequel to Savage Start. Cole and Riley have a rocky start. Riley is trying to not be noticed at a house party but when a goth chick walks into Ken and Barbie’s party is pretty hard to stay undetectable. Especially when the hot eye candy that is giving alpha male vibes catches Riley where she has no business being. This book gives an insight as to what happens to Cole and Damon´s parent’s marriage and the tragedy that taints his family name. I can’t wait to see what else this author comes out with!

Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite #0.5)Savage Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Savage Start is the prequel to the books Savage Lies and Savage Truth in the Hidden Valley Elite Series. It is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult, high school bully romance with drama, mystery, angst, and toxic family environments. As the prequel to the series, it is best to read the remainder of the series to have a full understanding of the characters and their continuing stories. This book introduces the reader to Riley and Cole and explains how they first met. Riley is an interesting character that I felt empathetic towards because of her upbringing. Her entire life has been spent planning the next con with her mom as they move from place to place. Riley and her mom constantly look over their shoulders anticipating the moment when they will be caught. Cole is a character that might look tough on the exterior and comes across as just another spoiled rich kid however, deep down he has a big heart. He comes from a toxic family environment where his parents are constantly fighting, and his dad is cheating on his mom. Cole’s mom suffers from depression, and it is up to Cole to be there for her when she has breakdowns. Riley and Cole meet momentarily at a party and share a passionate kiss that leaves Riley wanting more. A great read with some intense moments that took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and left me reaching for the box of Kleenex.

There is nothing like a fresh start in a new town to really change things around, take a souvenir, and find a fresh attractive local boy to kiss and turn a young girls world upside down. What starts as a bully can change into someone you can’t get your mind off. This book is a quick page turner that leads perfectly into the next book and leaves you in suspense!

Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite #0.5)Savage Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hidden Valley is a typical place for those made of money, the elite of the elite and they know who they are and how they are supposed to behave, but for one young woman who tries to blend in wherever she is, she stands out.

She is young but has experienced a lot in her short life so far and she is hoping that here is the new start she wants, but she is also always looking over her shoulder and around her for her next grift.

This doesn’t perfectly when she goes for a walk on the beach, spots a target and tries her hand, however she finds something else altogether, something much more dangerous.

A gorgeous boy who kisses her such a way that she forgets where she is, but will this boy be her downfall, and will she be able to escape if she needs to? This is a fast-paced novella with an “opposites attract” theme where emotions are dangerous and grifting should be easy, but plans are seldom straightforward.

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Botosoni has a lead to the rogue elements trying to bring down the Consulate but can he follow the rules and stay away from her or is the attraction too much for him to resist.

Catina has visions of where the shifter den is but when she is enlisted by the consulate to find the rogue Vampires and shifters but when her vision leads her into danger can she get out in time or is her fate sealed.

This is the ninth in the series and they just get better with each instalment. The chemistry between Catina and Master Botosoni is off the chart and I always love the loyalty these alpha man have to the charges they have, it is just brilliant to read. Although these are relative short stories they definitely pack a punch and leave you wanting more and more.

I can’t wait to see who the next Master’s story will be and get closer to them getting rid of the rogue elements.

Brought down by a kiss.

Blackmailed by the class MVP.

On the brink of destruction.

Moving to a new town and taking on a new identity was supposed to keep me safe. News flash, it didn’t. Instead, it put me right into the most dangerous place imaginable. Cole Savage’s line of sight.

Stupid, perfect, and one of four members of the untouchable elite. They’re the Academy’s football stars, gods among their peers. And from the first day of school, he put a target on my back. All because of one stupid kiss.

My secrets are dark and dangerous. But based on the fury that drives Cole to ruin me, so are his. We’re both facing destruction, and he’s determined not to let me win.

He doesn’t know it, but he’s met his match. I’ll use his hate, and I’ll teach him that it burns as hot as his lust. And if he wants a war, I’ll give him one.

This was a great 5 star read, being only 50 pages I read it in one sitting. This genre is quickly becoming a favorite for me. The characters were great, you could feel their connection coming off the pages. Riley and Cole definitely come from different sides of the track but money doesn’t always make things better. Of course we end on a cliffhanger, looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I need to see where their story goes. I will warn that 18+ readers are recommended due to the content and some darkness. If you like Bully Romance 1-click and get started today on this great read.

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Master Botosoni is the ninth book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. It is a captivating dark paranormal romance with an underworld society/vampire mafia, enemies to lovers, rogue vampire faction, shifters, witches, psychics, pure bloods, politics, magic, agendas, fated mates, age gap, danger, drama, high stakes, chemistry, sizzle, emotion, action, loyalty, bonds, mysteriousness, intrigue, tension, emotion, and a centuries-old feud/war. The story is told from a duel POV- which gave me a much richer perspective and added extra depth and interest to my reading experience.
This is Master Botosoni and Catina’s story- which grabbed me right from the beginning and held my attention the entire way through. There was no putting the book down, with all the ingredients of a dark, tense romantic suspense- I really had to know what would happen, so I ended up staying up well past my bedtime and read it all in one sitting. #sleepisoverratedright
This could be read as a standalone as each book in the series focuses on its own separate character/s, but I highly recommend reading the other books in the series before beginning this one, as there are many interconnected details and recurring characters that span the series- including a bridging background story that’s being built/expanded with each new addition- so I really recommend reading from the beginning, so you know what’s happened right from the start.
The best part about this series is that there are 12 books planned…. 9 down, 3 still to come —– which means more sexy vampires on the way!
Bring on Book #10 — “Master Oradea” — I can’t wait!!!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Sylvia Black!

Master Botosoni (Masters of the Consulate #9)Master Botosoni by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Catina is a Romanian psychic stuck in the strict old ways of her people. At only 21 years old she is considered old to not be married by now. Her abusive parents and brothers are trying to sell her. She wants to escape and marry for love but is stricken by her loyalty to family.

Master Botosoni decides to hire Catina’s service to help find more information on the rogue vampires. After having a vision, she collapses and Botosoni decides that she has seen something pertinent to their mission and brings her to his estate.

Instantly there is chemistry between the two, but Catina is pure. She knows her family would see her as a disgrace just by being in the vampire master’s home, let alone have a relationship of any kind with him. She plans on helping the Masters find the rogues and then go home. As time goes on, the tension gets stronger and she has to make a decision. Stay with the family who has abused her for years or abandon all she knows and stay with Botosoni.

Meanwhile Botosoni wants Catina to be his but has trust issues with women in general. Can they put their hang ups aside and become mates like destiny wants?

I have been invested in this series since almost the very beginning and for good reason. Each story is a different Vampire finding his mate and each couple is different than the previous. After 9 books in the series, the author is still going strong. The subplot is always full of mystery and action while the main plot is always romantic and sometimes steamy.

Going into this book I wish I would of read the others. I know it says standalone but I feel like I would of benefited from reading the ones before it. However that being said this was an action packed paranormal Romance. I am a sucker for anything vamp related. We have Master Botonsoni and we are in the middle of a fight with rogue vamps. Who is helped along by Catina and her ability. I plan on starting this series from the start.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia, just when I think you have reached the bar you go and reset it and then I have a new favourite book in this series making me feel disloyal as I love all the Masters. It is another titillating dark paranormal, fated mates, enemies to lovers, age-gap, vampire mafia romance tale.
I have been with this series from the beginning and Sylvia knows how to write an epic dark paranormal tale that you are unable to put down once you start. I am always instantly lost in the story and to the beauty of the harsh world that Sylvia created.
Master Botosoni is the explosive ninth book in this series. Masters of the Consulate is one of my favourite series and I was left anticipating the arrival of the next book. Just as well that fabulously dark and deliciously deadly Master Botosoni came along at the right time.
The master’s and fated ones join Master Botosoni as he enlists the help of a psychic to help them find what they need. Master Botosoni soon learns she is much more than he anticipated, and fate always gets her way.
I love that these men are fiercely loyal and will protect what is theirs no matter the cost.
This riveting fast paced tale is intense, full of suspense, danger, and is steaming hot. What is better than super sexy alpha vampires who are vicious and love fiercely, along with psychics, and a host of other paranormal beings. In a place where there is old world factions there is greed and revenge, secret agendas, politics and so much more.

Can the Masters get what they need before they are thrust into a major war and friends and allies turn to foes.
I wonder which Master comes next. I can’t wait.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 9 and this series just keeps getting better and better. While each story is able to be read as a standalone, I would recommend starting at the beginning to see the progression of the story and the battle that is being waged. We see the pureblood vampires are getting closer and closer to taking out the rogues as their journey continues all over Italy. They end up in Master Botosoni’s territory and as he goes looking for clues, he is pointed in the direction of Catina, a fortune teller with a complicated family life. The attraction between the vampire master and the innocent psychic is electric and they are both unable to fight the attraction. The author does a great job of making each story and romance feel fresh, while still bringing in characters from the previous novels to keep the storyline moving forward with the war between the purebloods and the rogues. I am definitely excited to see the next book and how this story ends in the future books!

Master Botosoni is the vampire in charge of the Botosoni region and another of the Masters of the Consulate of pureblood vampires and he is on a mission to find the rogue vampires and shifters who have been wreaking havoc in the other Master’s regions and now they have shown themselves on his lands. He has history with these rogue factions which means he is more than happy to eradicate any that he sees, but first he has to find them and that is where he seeks out a woman who can do just that.

Catina is a young woman trying to break free from familial traditions, although it is more difficult than she imagines, but she is determined making her own way, however, when a dark vampire Master approaches her wanting her to aid him with her skills, she is terrified, but elated. As soon as she connects to destiny, she is shown the way to find the shifters, along with some words of caution, but it takes a lot out of her and ends up being taken back to the vampire’s mansion, but it goes against everything she believes.

When the rest of the Masters and their mates join Master Botosoni, he is determined to give them some news, and so he passes on what Catina has said, along with the updates from the other members of the team. All the while, Master Botosoni and Catina cannot deny their growing attraction and he when he makes the decision to make her his, he may have to wait as more information comes through and Catina is led to a situation where danger surrounds her, and drastic decisions have to be made.

With Master Botosoni fighting for his future, as well as the future of those around him, will Catina maintain her innocent nature, or will darkness consume her, and will the master’s finally be able to find and eliminate the rogues? This is yet another thrilling chase where nothing is black and white and danger haunts the shadows, loyalties are tested, and the rules of engagement are questioned in this dark romance with bite.
