5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Pure Perfection!!! Wicked Ends is Book 8 of the Hidden Valley Elite series and I loved every book and not only wrapping up the story of Winter and Shane but also the series in itself. I cannot say enough that this is a must read series. While I am sad this series has completed, I am looking forward to what this author has in store in the future. The feels I get….the angst, romance, secrets, danger, connections I did not see coming with twists and turns……I loved it all.

Danger is lurking at every corner and you do not know who to trust……Winter is in danger and does not even know it. Shane wants to make her pay for a past that is hard for him to get over. When Winter is in trouble, Shane needs to be there for her at all costs. What Shane needs to do is overcome his past, be honest with the people he loves the most…Secrets are revealed with cold hard truths. Will Shane and Winter be able to overcome their pasts and how dark they were?

I do not want to give any spoilers away…I could talk about this book and series forever…. if you like dark, college bully romance…do yourself a favor and read this series in order…

Wicked Ends (Hidden Valley Elite #8)Wicked Ends by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The more wicked the brighter the ending. It was such a bittersweet moment when I started page one. I have been in love with this series since the very beginning with Cruel Start and now it has come to an end. One of the best things about this entire series is that a guaranteed happily ever after at the end of each duet. As always, the phenomenal Isla Vaughn perfectly continues the story in one breath.
Winter is missing, Shane the one and only suspect. Only it’s not that black and white. Someone has framed Shane, but no one can figure out who or why. More importantly why are they targeting Winter and determined to label her a murderer. This semester was supposed to be good, to reconnect and remember the life she left behind when her sister died, and her mom went to jail but being back in the place where it all began started something she couldn’t imagine was hiding in her memories. We build walls in our minds for a reason and Winter’s walls crack and crumble with each new threat, the feeling of someone watching her even in her room asleep. The only person that makes her feel safe is also the person that got close to her with lies even if the only lie was his name. Shane confronts his pain and when Winter apologizes, he feels sincerity and worries for her when she comes asking for help in defending herself. Everything seems to be against him this year, first Phoenix’s accident, Joe coming back into his life, Luke Green and now Winter and the wickedness that he once thought was inside her.
Who has a target for Winter? Will Shane overcome the accusations? How will the truth affect their relationship? The author’s world has been my favorite place this past year and honestly, I already feel lost finishing this incredible series. Each couple in a way builds on the story of the next and the previous. Knowing they each found their way through the Savage, Brutal, Cruel, and Wicked truths to find their match and their safe place is beyond amazing. The greatest part the five-year jump at the very end and the love, and happiness that surrounded them all.

This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the start. They are full of romance and spicy characters. This is book eight of the series which I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series as they are just as great as this one. It will help your enhancement of this author’s writing skills that are great. Her attention to details makes her stories and characters pop off the pages. This book is no different. A fast paced, engaging story that had me turning pages fast to the end. The characters are connectable and had me coming back for more. I enjoyed what they added to the story and their growth is great. I enjoyed watching their chemistry grow which made the story easy to read. This is an entertaining story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and the rest of this series.

This was a pretty good story. Tanjie and Alaric’s relationship journey had more than a few twists and turns after they met and explored it. The story had some really interesting elements and I found myself very vested in finding out what was going to happen and how everything would end, it made for a very good read. This story was just the first in a series and I look forward to reading the next one.

Wicked Games is the final book in the Hidden Valley Elite series. Featuring Winter and Shane, the book picks up from the time Winter was kidnapped and Shane was taken into an interrogation room. Winter wakes and finds the door to the room she is being held captive in was unlocked. She sees that she is at the place she dreads the most. McMillan Lake was the place where her sister, Summer, had been drowned, presumably by her mother. However, since her mind blocked so much of her memory, she had begun to think there was more to what had happened. Winter makes it to Estelle’s apartment. The elderly lady had known her family when she was younger. Meanwhile, Shane’s attorney has managed to get him released. Winter arrives at the police station after calling from Estelle’s apartment. She finds a note in her mailbox: “I hope you got the message. Next time, it won’t be so easy to break free.” When the police don’t seem to take her seriously, Winter goes to Shane to ask for his help and apologize for how she had bullied him as a child. Who and why was someone targeting her?

Isla Vaughn never disappoints and this entire series was amazing with its characters. Each book had steamy romance scenes while featuring the individual personalities that were unique to each one. Shane and Winter both progress and heal from past trauma. With the unpredictable plot, there is never a dull moment to be found. This book easily earned a 5 star rating. I look forward to reading more of Vaughn’s books.

This is the second book in the Latitude Series. I enjoyed reading this book which happens to continue stories from the Antipodes series which has really kept my interest. Gio and Caitlin are taking on a new role in Canada. This is where they chose to grow their family. But will some threat come their way? How will they continue?
I enjoyed reading many of the Antipodes series and this new series doesn’t disappoint. The characters and world building is on point and helps us readers connect more fully with the story.

I havent read the other books in the series but the author does a good job of giving enough backstory for you to not be lost in all of the characters. I liked that the story picks up quickly. It keeps you guessing who’s loyal or not. Its great for anyone into the instalove trope and paranormal characters. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the next book!

Shane and Winter have a lengthy history, and as they start to put the pieces together everything falls apart. Shane is willing to leave their storied history in the past, but it will take time to convince his family. Winter’s past will come back to haunt her yet again, which will subsequently haunt Shane and bring skeletons from his family closet. Winter and Shane will need each other, but they’ll have to learn to trust each other first. I have been hooked on the characters, suspense, and storylines from the very beginning of that series. No part of me wanted this series to end, but it was the perfect twisted and happily ever after ending I craved!

This was a quick read with a great storyline. The book is as the title states, a second chance interracial romance. The author wrote the main characters extremely well. This book was an emotional roller coaster that you refuse to get off of until you see it to the end. Sometimes accidents happen for a reason. I recommend this book.

Wicked Ends is Book Eight in the Hidden Valley Elite Series. It is a dark college, enemies to lovers’ story full of loss, angst, passion, romance, revenge, dark secrets, toxic families, and uncertainty. This book wraps up Shane and Winter’s saga. Winter was at a dark place in her childhood, and it caused her to lash out at others. Shane was one of the unfortunate victims of Winter’s bullying during childhood. Her mistreatment of him caused him to consider ending his own life. When Winter resurfaces in Shane’s life years later all his hurt, anger, and resentment towards Winter resurfaces. He decides to exact revenge which puts them both on a path that simultaneously pulls them apart while also drawing them together. They do not trust each other but do not know who else to trust either. A complicated situation to say the least. Winter has changed her life around and is attempting to move forward. Shane is dealing with both past and current trauma. Both are trying to overcome their dark pasts and have a brighter future. Both have a hard time trusting. Both feel the attraction to the other, but can they put past hurts and resentments behind them? Can they have a future together? When Winter receives threatening notes and the danger to her life escalates Shane is the only one, she feels safe with. A tension filled ride full of twists and turns as secrets are revealed and we find out how entangled Shane and Winter’s lives have been through the years. Winter and Shane really developed and grew throughout this book, and we learn that deep down Shane is a nice guy with a heart of gold. Bittersweet to see this series ending and I am hoping the author has more books in store for us!

Master Sardinia is Book 8 in the Masters of the Consulate series and I continue to love this set of books as it builds. I get all the feels with vampires, shifters, witches with deceit, secrets and lies…mix in with an age gap romance….WOW……I devoured this book.

What Master Sardinia comes across in the process of this hunt is a sassy beauty, Madria… Master Sardinia needs to protect Madria at all costs, but Madria has secrets of her own…..fueling her hatred toward all vampires thinking they are responsible for her ancestors deaths. Something is lurking as Madria has this special stone that was passed down from generations…this stone is precious….what will happen to Madria and Master Sardinia if the shifters and rogues take over……

Definitely read and find out..this story is fast paced, full of action and hot sizzling moments!!

This author took us on one heck of a journey ending with Shane and Winters story who never disappointed. This is not a stand alone book you must have the entire series.
Winter and Shane hook up at the end of the last book and this one starts with Winter drugged and back at the lake where her sister drowned. Shane was set up for the kidnapping and is questioned but ultimately cleared. Winter is left shaken and scared and asks Shane to protect her and be with her until they can get to the bottom of who is harassing her, leaving her notes, and now kidnapped her. Why are they doing this, how are they connected and what happened the day Summer died?

Such a great ending to a series I’m so sorry to see go!

I am so sad to see this series end as it has been one of my very favorites for the entire year. It is a phenomenal end though and all good things must end, right? I do not always read series in order, but this is definitely one I would take note of and start from the beginning. There is too much that would be missed and would probably lead to a lot of confusion. This book focuses on Shane and Winter, and it picks up right where the previous book ended, which I love! We finally get resolution that had been built-up in Wicked Games though it is not just a smooth ride by any means. I also enjoyed the fact that we got to catch up with the other couples from different books in the series. I highly recommend this entire series with the only one bad note…you will definitely have a book/series hangover!

Each book from this author is a treat, and this one was no different. The entire Master of the Consulate series is marvelous but Master Sardinia has been my favorite thus far. As with each book, this follows the dark paranormal romance in a mafia-like vampire realm with plenty of drama, danger, steamy scenes, and surprises hidden throughout. While you can read this as a standalone, you should read from the beginning to get the full experience of each installment. I really enjoyed the suspense and bonds that are detailed with such expertise by this author. I cannot wait to see what the next book has in store for us!

This is the eighth book in the Masters of the Consulate series. Each book focuses on a different Master and their other half, but the underlying story continues throughout the series, so I would recommend reading them in order.
There is an element of enemies to lovers between Master Sardinia and Madria. The latter having a hatred of vampires when they meet. A common goal brings them together fighting again the rogues. There are obstacles in their way to each other and I enjoyed seeing how the pair navigated these.
The writing flows really well and the description narration paints a vivid picture of characters and scenery alike. The characters were well-written, complex and undergo development which I love in a story.
I again enjoyed the continuation of the underlying story, and the addition the couple bring to the collective team. I can’t get enough of this series and don’t think it will be possible to get bored of it. I look forward to more!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master Sardinia is one of the Masters of the Consulate under Overmaster Descallia and he has just found out that the shifters and rogue vampires they have been chasing have bedded down in his territory and he is on the warpath. When he is notified that some are attempting a takeover of one of his exclusive clubs, he heads straight there with some of the other masters to take care of things, but what he doesn’t expect is to get an earful from the owner’s daughter.

Madria is a headstrong young woman with a head for numbers and a hatred of all thing’s vampire, especially given what has just happened in the club she is a part owner of; however, she is a firecracker and doesn’t mince her words when confronting the bloodsucker in charge of the whole mess. She makes her displeasure known, so Master Sardinia doesn’t have a choice but to try and teach her some manners, followed by taking her to the surviving shifters so that they can find out where they are all hiding.

The interrogation doesn’t go to plan when Madria is attacked and Master Sardinia has no choice but to turn her, especially when it is possible that she could be a deciding factor in this war with the traitors. Madria is beyond angry once she wakes up from the transition, however, her part becomes clear when she talks of the past and how it has influenced her present, however, when it is revealed that she sees a vision of the future, it is filled with blood, darkness and doom. While Master Sardinia is trying to figure out what the future holds while trying to calm the magnetic attraction between himself and Madria, it is clear that when the inevitable clash arrives, he will do what he can to protect her, but will it be enough to keep them both alive long enough to see where the future takes them, or will another of the filthy rogues try and take her away?

This is another dark vampire romance where lies, deceit and secrets create a slowly tightening noose around the Masters and their women as they fight for those under their protection in one of their most fierce battles yet, which will leave you hooked until you find out whether they win or not.

Isla does it again and again. This time it is with the delectably dark Wicked Ends. Wicked Ends is the explosive second book in this duet, but it is the eighth book in a series. Am I addicted. Yes I am!
This is one series that I have not been able to stay away from. I am sad to see the series end, but I have enjoyed the Hidden Valley Elite boys. I wonder if the wicked and darkness of these boys will carry over into a new series with them being older. Mmmmmmm food for thought Isla.
Shane may be one of the Elite but underneath it all he has a heart of gold. He is being pulled from pillar to post and it is that that could lead him further down the path of darkness.
Winter has had a life of darkness and one she thought she left behind. Together they could be toxic but apart they aren’t whole.
There is a lot of back and forth between these characters and some surprisingly shocking twisty turns that you don’t want to miss.
Revenge is a bittersweet thing!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 8th book in the Masters of the Consulate series. These books have just gone from strength to strength. I love how each book focuses on one of the Vampire Masters and their journey towards finding their love as well as a story that runs through all the books of the battle between the Vampire masters and the Rogues who are out to destroy the peaceful way of life the Masters currently have.

This book starts off with the Masters heading to Sardinia and Master Sardinia’s territory to find the rogues. While they are on their mission they meet a psychic Madria. Madria already has a deep hatred for vampires after her ancestors were killed by them but when shifters attack and she ends up hurt she realises that as much as she hates them she can’t allow the rogues to carry on harming innocent people. And of course there is the fact that she has an insane attraction to Master Sardinia that makes things even more confusing.
They both know they need to work together if they stand any chance of defeating the rogues but when past secrets and histories are revealed will Sardinia be able to protect the one women he is falling for or will the truth push her further away from him.

This is an enemies to lovers paranormal romance. I have loved this series from the beginning. It contains elements I love such as strong possessive deadly vampires, shifters, witches, good vs evil, danger, secrets, lies and betrayal as well as attraction and passion so strong that neither person can deny it even when everything in their body wants them to.
This was another great addition and I can’t wait for more.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This is an amazing ending to the duet and the entire series. It picks up right where Wicked Games ended. I would not start the series with this book. I think that is a given but I am just saying it. All of the books should be read in order in this series to really grasp onto the characters and their struggles. This book gave me some twists and turn from previous books that I didn’t see coming. It is what kept me on the edge of my seat reading this book. I loved seeing the other characters of the series in this book. I love the secrets that were revealed and it made me fall even more in love with this series. This book has the mystery, the steam, the amazing character development, closure, and suspense that make it a page turner. I couldn’t put the book down. I got mad at anyone who dare try to talk to me while I was reading. It is that good!!!! This series will be one that I will continue to reread, probably every year. I feel that with this book it almost makes you want to reread the whole series just to see if you can pick up on any hints throughout the other books that you missed the first time. This book is highly addictive and into it knowing you aren’t going to get much done but reading.

Orenda (The Latitude Series Book 2)Orenda by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and gripping dystopian romance which continues the ‘Latitude’ series of novels. Once again, I was back with Caitlin and her husband Gio who were now traveling to Canada, to take on new roles as ambassadors for the ACC. Caitlin is a natural leader and is respected by her people, she is bridging the gap between the communities and offering them new opportunities. However, as Caitlin and Gio build a life for their new family, an old enemy return’s which threatens their security. As loyalties are challenged and a betrayal leads to tragedy, Caitlin is forced to draw on her ‘Orenda’ before it threatens to destroy them both. “Orenda is a First Nations Iroquois belief that all natural objects and people possess a mystical energy”. This force allows Caitlin to effect change in the world and manifest transformations. As usual I was transported to the wonderfully detailed dystopian world which is brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. I was fully immersed in the storyline and engaged with the main characters, Caitlin and Gio. I personally think this series of books need to be read in order. I also recommend the series that goes before this one.

A bittersweet time, the end has come to this series. We pick up where Wicked Games left of with Shane and Winter. These two have already been through so much. Much of this book is spent dealing with and resolving the issues from their past. Many of the mysteries are solved. I do believe that these two turned into my favorite couple for resilience and strength. The battles they went through. The gang was in this story also: Cole, Damon, Phoenix, Riley, Skylar and Aspen. Mom and Grandad. Even Uncle Lucas had some issues resolved. The book will tie things up. I recommend you read this series in order. It really isn’t meant to be a standalone. It is one of the best darn series I’ve read. My favorite for the year.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Benji has not been the same since he saw his best friend die in front of him, but although he is struggling to come to terms with it, his world is suddenly imploding around him. Getting kicked out of school being the top one, so while he is moving back to his family home he is also conflicted that he will see Milo again, his best friends brother.

Milo has had a crush on Benji for year’s but he has never really tried to push the attraction but when his brother died all that vanished, Benji vanished from my life and he lost two brothers not just Kellan, but now he is back in town and this is now the chance to pursue his crush and see if the conversation he heard long ago between Kellan and Benji is still there.

When Benji and Milo meet the chemistry between them is off the charts but can Benji bury the promise he made long ago to Kellan or will he purse happiness with Milo in the end?

This book was just delightful to read, although it may have triggers for some people the words on the page added to the overall feel of the book rather than a shock factor. I loved the calm nature of Milo and that he was determined to show Benji that there relationship can go on and that they were suited to each other. Benji’s character was flawed in just the right way and what I mean is that he was not inheritably a bad boy but circumstances portraited him as that but once you got to the heart of the character he was a brilliant half to Milo.

The story was heart felt and pursued the regrets of each of the characters regarding the death of a friend, son and brother with them each showing the guilt they carried regarding the death of Kellan. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely read more by this author.

Deceived by my heart.

Drowning in fractured memories.

Taken against my will.

Shane Bennett used me, and for nothing more than revenge.

I was a victim, and in turn, I made him one. But that was then. I’m different now—is he? Or is this the moment when everything comes crashing down.

The connection between us twists and stretches from the past to the present, abused and strained but undeniably intact.

Something—someone—is coming for me. As each threatening note is delivered, the secrets in my mind break free.

It’s in Shane’s arms that I feel the safest. But trusting him means that I’m putting everything in my life at risk.

Is he worth it?

Wicked Ends is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult, bully romance with plenty of angst and a HEA. This is the conclusion of Wicked Games, and Winter and Shane’s duet. This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Shadowed Agenda is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security series by Mavery Ellscott. It is another engrossing romantic suspense to follow on from Shadowed Obsession, the first book in SDS. This series is made up of standalone stories, each one focusing on a different operative of the Shadow Defense Security team.
This time we get Pavlov Barislov’s story. We met him in Book #1 and I was immediately intrigued by the former Navy SEAL turned security operative who is also an author of thrilling novels. So I was excited to be able to get to know him better here. And WOW, what a story we got. Ms. Ellscott certainly put her characters to the test, and delivered a gripping read along the way.
As I mentioned above, this is a romantic suspense, but it also has a bit of an enemies to lovers dynamic, danger, dramatic developments, tension, chemistry, agendas, action, and mystery – all the ingredients needed to keep me invested the whole way through.
Bring on Book #3!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Mavery Ellscott!
