Savage Truth (Hidden Valley Elite #2)Savage Truth by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This is the second book in the very addictive series Hidden Valley. I love good enemies but lovers’ stories and this one is in my top three. These books need to be read in order or you will be totally lost. I love how this author writes from both of the characters’ points of view. It makes me feel more emotionally connected to them. I can’t wait to read book three.

Riley and Cole are now living together. They hate each other with a passion. They have one thing in common: they want to get their parents to split. Riley is starting to feel like she belongs at the high school but Cole has other plans for her. He will stop it at nothing to get the truth from Riley and her mother. He knows they are hiding secrets but will it be enough to get rid of them for good? Riley is afraid that her past will come and take her away. She needs someone in her corner but will it be too late?

Another fantastic book by this author. This is the 4th installment in this series and it was so good! I loved the relationship and friction between Cole and Riley. This is packed with drama, school teenage antics and step family drama. I loved it! Can’t wait to read the next one!

The third book in Cole and Riley’s relationship. This is where they actually start acknowledging their feelings and it is well worth the read. Each book I read is getting better and better. It has all the suspense, action, humor, and romance one could want in a book.

While this series is starting to grow on me more I feel so invested that I have no choice but to read the books.
The author does a good job with being able to relate to the characters but at times the books seem drawn out and forced. For me it hinders the flow of the books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Savage Truth is book number two in The Hidden Valley Elite series of books, but is the conclusion to Riley and Cole’s story. The whole series should be read in order. Savage Truth was a super quick, suspenseful, slightly confused, rollercoaster, high school romance. There is no doubt this author can write, she can spin a story and pack what seems like a lot in such a short amount of pages, I just felt like doing so causes some scenes to feel a little disjointed, but not enough that I wouldn’t continue. I like how it alternates view points because I always like to hear from both main characters, and the chemistry between the characters was intense. I’m interested to see where the author takes the series next.

Wow! This ended the way I hoped it would. It’s definitely a roller-coaster of a book, and series. I finally had some questions answered about Riley’s dad. Over all I think this book was well written. It keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat and the chemistry between Cole and Riley is steamy!

Book one and book two could have easily been one book but I can definitely see why it was split. With that being said, this book cannot be read as a stand alone. Cole and Riley are now forced to live in the house together. Cole is plotting how to get rid of Riley and her mom, Riley is trying to convince her mom to leave. The tension that is felt in this book can be cut with a knife. Hot, captivating, twists at every turn, and an ending that will shock you. You will not be able to put this book down.

Second book in the series by this author who manages to blend and fuse Young /New Adult, High School bully romance with angst and warmth that could bring a happy ever after.<br />In this well written book we follow the story of Cole, highschool king and Riley as their relationship develops from one of abject dislike but attraction and ,not good enough for me’. Things change when Cole discovers secrets about Riley and her mother. The push and pull relationship grows and changes as the characters continue to grow.<br />Another amazing read. <br />

Cole and riley continue their “affair” in book and comes to a close. It feels so similar to another store I’ve read I had a hard time “ getting into it “

I was left torn in two yearning for everything this book could be but disappointed but the repeated actions. However I suppose it coincides with the fact that they are high school students. They sure act like it.

The storyline was promising I just felt it was lacking and could’ve been really robust.

  • Savage Truth is the emotional ending to Cole and Hannah’s story and the second book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series. I just HAD to get this after reading and loving the prequel and book one. I definitely recommend reading them in order, as they all tie together. I was really looking forward to this and Isla did not dissapoint! She will keep you on the edge of your seat with this roller coaster, ready to see whats next. I recommend this to anyone looking for a new enemies to lovers romance with a lot of extra spice!

Savage Truth: A Dark High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 2)

Another fantastic read!

Savage Truth is the second book in The Hidden Valley Elite series.

This book continues with Riley and Cole and their love and hate relationship. A lot gets unpacked in this book, and the author does a good job of unpacking it and bringing it all out to where you can’t put the book down. Riley finally gets the truth about her biological father, who is not a nice guy and gets to lay this part of her life to rest. Now on to college!

Isla Vaughn is an amazing author, and has quickly become one of my favorites. The Hidden Valley Elite series is one of the best series I’ve read in a long time. I love the characters, the world building, the storytelling is amazing. I truly feel like I’m in high school again when I’m reading. I love Riley and Cole’s story. I loved the animosity and the buildup and the everything about it. If you love the drama, the heat, the everything, you’ll love this story. I absolutely suggest this book (and all the others) for you to read! You wont be disappointed!!!

I absolutely loved reading the conclusion of Cole and Riley’s story. Riley has done everything to get under Cole’s skin. Even when they are now living under the same roof since their parents are getting married. Cole wants to absolutely destroy her, but he can’t help the feeling that has wormed its way into his heart. The conclusion was amazing and was like fireworks exploding. Their ending was well-deserved and fitting in my eyes. I was a little sad to see their story end because I had gotten attached to them. But I can’t wait to see what else Isla has in store for her readers next!

The book starts right where it left off from the previous book, Savage Lies. The way this book is written will keep you on edge and will keep you on your toes, so that you will need to know what’s happening next. There is a lot going on at the same time between the main characters, Cole and Riley. I like how the author goes back and forth between the characters, it does give a sense of how they each relate to what’s going on in the story. Overall, as you start this series, be prepared not to get much done around the house.

The story of Riley and Cole. When Riley and her mother move into Cole and Damon’s home its fair game. Cole will do anything he can to get rid of Riley and her mother the one who ruined their lives. If looks could kill or smolder with lust Cole and Riley would win the biggest prize out there. They can’t keep their eyes off one another yet, they love to hate one another. Riley has her own set of issues which keeps her from getting close to anyone, and now they are under one roof as their parents are getting married. However, Riley has a dark secret one that Cole will do everything in his power to uncover but at what cost. A great read.

This one picks up right where book one ends and just like the first one it was great. This time I had no problem sinking right into Cole and Riley’s world. I’m sad to leave these characters because they really captured a piece of my heart. Cole had me cursing his name a lot but you can’t help but understand that underneath it all he’s just hurt by his past. Riley will always have my heart she’s got sass and I just overall loved her character. There’s romance, suspense and everything I love in a story. I’m looking forward to more from this author. Five stars and highly recommended!

Isla Vaughn really knows how to make you keep reading and turning pages to find out what happens.

I was so excited to get my hands on this book so that I could read how things ended. Some very hot sex scenes that lead to hate turning to love. A fabulous conclusion to the story of Riley and Cole. The past finally catches up and is put to bed forever!

Really enjoyed this series. Quick reads with lots of surprises and plot twists. So much happens, it’s hard to put down! I was surprised about some of the action in this book, wasn’t expecting it but it really made the story. This one out of the series was jam packed with lots of action but also answers to wrap stuff up.
Glad the series is just beginning even though moving on to another couple! Bring more on!

Holy Hanna what a ride!!! This book was full of so much suspense and tension that I read it in one sitting. I couldn’t walk away from the book even if I wanted too. Sparks fly in so many ways. Riley’s father is still on the hunt for her and her mom. Everyone could be in danger and yet secrets are putting everyone at an unknown risk.

I have to say that I have a few books from this author and I am hooked. Her writing style will keep you reading and reading and on the edge of your seat. Loved Loved Loved this book. I want more.

Hidden Valley Elite Book 2 (3 if you include the novella prequel) was my favorite of the series so far. The drama between Riley and Cole reaches an all new high and there were some chapters that had me at the edge of my seat. I couldn’t put this one down! I enjoyed the previous books, but this one was much better. Isla Vaughn put together a great story here and all the twists and turns were well placed and took the book to a whole different level compared to book 1 and the prequel. I look forward to reading many more by Isla and reading more from this series.

What a page-turner! This I was the finale of Riley and Cole’s story and I couldn’t put it down. The previous two installments built to this finale and it was full of suspense and steam.

I really enjoyed that character building that took place throughout the story, as well as the romance building. The heat and attraction between Cole and Riley easily come through the pages and you as the reader want them to stop fighting it by trying to hate each other. While this is a romance, the mystery and suspense woven throughout keeps the reader engaged and the author has an effortless writing style. I really enjoyed the way the story comes together, but it was a bumpy ride and well worth the read!

Rejected by a teenage god.

Lies so dangerous our lives are at stake.

A game worth playing.

Cole Savage doesn’t hate anyone as much as he hates me… or the fact that he wants me just as much.

We all have issues, and the less he knows about me, the better. I just have to keep him unbalanced, which is harder than I thought it would be.

Yeah, he wants me.

But I want him just as much.

And that’s a secret I’ll kill over.

Until I overhear Cole saying “she’s not my type.”

Game on, pretty boy.

Because the kiss that seared me to my core told a different story.

Let’s see how tall and proud he walks when I put him in his place—which is hands-off of me.

Savage Truth (Hidden Valley Elite #2)Savage Truth by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Savage Truth is book 2 of this bully romance. The first book ends with Cole and Riley finding out that their parents are in love and getting married. Both were not happy about this due to the hate/love relationship they were harboring. Throughout a lot of the book, it is this back-and-forth of them wanting each other but hating each other. Cole tries making Riley’s life a living hell, so Riley decides to play him in his own game. However, this back and forth, ends with Cole being obsessed and possessive of Riley. As the story continues, the secrets of both families start to come to the surface, with each other finding solace in the other’s pain. Things become extremely apparent when Riley is faced with her past, her father. A father that wants her and her mother dead. Cole is now on the end of making sure nothing ever happens to her.
The first book in the series was so enjoyable I quickly read this one. I am a sucker for a bully romance and this was a good one. Both characters had great banter, chemistry, and character traits. Cole, while a bully, was also quite smitten with her and you could see him in the way he approached much of the situation. Riley, is a strong character with determination, but also a little bit naive. I also like the way the book ended. I feel when you are dealing with a “step-sibling” romance there is a lot of negativity from the family, etc, but things seemed pretty smooth and positive in how things transpired. I liked this book and the author’s writing enough to want to read the next set of duets.

So in this book we already have met Cole and Riley. And their still at war with one and another. It will be making you question if they will part ways or if they’ll overcome and have a happily after. I’m really happy with what I read in all. The series is flowing together nicely.

After reading the Prequel of Isla Vanughn I understand book 2. I love how Riley will always protect her mom but at times is hard when Cole tries to take her attention away.
In the book, it was when Riley wanted Cole to accept what he is dying for but his man ego does not allow it. Riley tries hard to get this game to the next level.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have really enjoyed getting to know a little more on Cole and Riley and the suspenseful conclusion (at least for now I hope) .
I highly suggest reading the first 2 books before this, the prequel and book 1, as it’s all needed to understand the dynamic and what’s going on in this story.

This like the previous brought the drama, the chemistry and the unexpected. I will not be giving many details as it’s best to read for yourself and I will not be responsible for giving even a tiny spoiler even by accident.

I cannot wait to read about the rest of this bunch (I hope they all get a story) as I would love to see things from others perspective but also how their stories go.

Savage Truth: A High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 2)Savage Truth: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

Savage Truth is book 2 in a set including a prequel and book 1. I’m not sure how easy to follow book 2 would be without reading the other two prior. It picks up directly where book 1 ends.

Riley is a high school student who has spent her entire life on the run with her mother, from her incredibly dangerous father. This means a lifetime of sticking to the plan, changing appearance to blend in, using fake names and running cons.

Riley and Cole already loved to hate one another, but living together has really put it over the top. Book 2 brought no less passion, but less in the form of hatred between them. Everything is a game of cat and mouse and along the way, they discover some things and make some real connections. I’m making an effort not to post any spoilers but it doesn’t leave much specifically to say.

Book 2 was good and I was pleased with the ending. In comparison to the prequel and book 1, which felt more that I was totally engrossed and couldn’t put it down, this felt rushed. So many things happened that answer a lot of questions, and it was well fleshed out in terms of sharing the entirety of what the author envisioned, but with a ton of conclusions fitting into a very small section of the book – as though everything had to fit into (x) number of pages. Until I hit the part that felt rushed it was completely enjoyable to read. Descriptions are easy to follow, backgrounds of favorite areas are clear, looks and emotions and experiences are still a fun read, I just feel the author didn’t do her talent justice to rush some pretty conclusive sections. Definitely worth the read, starting with the prequel. Looking forward to reading Damon’s story next!
