Wicked Games: A Dark College Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 7)
£3.80
I’m back where it all began—and I mean all.
Where my dad died.
Where my sister was murdered.
Where my life changed forever.
Where my dad died.
Where my sister was murdered.
Where my life changed forever.
I’m at Thane University for a reason—to work my way through the memories I can barely grasp in my nightmares. Then he walks in and our souls collide when our eyes meet. He’s a part of this, but I can’t place him. I don’t even know his name, but I know he holds more power over me than he should.
I need to listen when I’m warned to stay away because he’s dangerous. But it doesn’t matter what anyone says—staying away isn’t an option.
Wicked Games is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult, 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 Wicked Ends.

I wish I could give this book and series more stars. it’s just that good I couldn’t put it down I could write a review about it all day long, and it still wouldn’t do it justice.
by Wendy Livingstone
This is the 7th book in this phenomenal series, and this is the first part of a duet about Shane and Winter.
Shane is broody, angry, and fuelled by rage, while Winter has retuned after an 8-year absence, and as soon as their eyes meets, he is determined to make her pay for the past.
This story ends on a cliffhanger, and I cannot wait to read the conclusion of Shane and Winter’s journey!
This is a well written fast paced, emotional roller coaster, with family, friendships, angst, enemies / lovers, mystery, danger, suspense, intrigue, bullying, romance, tension, engaging and relatable characters, undeniable chemistry, and is an entertaining, tragic, twisted, unpredictable, and steamy addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Once again the author manages to weave a web so tight that you cannot get out of it, a continuation of the Hidden Valley Elite series.
We follow along with Shane after the issues with Luke, the police and investigation and the return of his childhood nemesis.
Winter following the advice of her councillor and her now family returns to confront aspects of her past, the area where everything went wrong. Emotions run high and she struggles to move past certain aspects of the past.
The feeling that something is very wrong follows both Shane and Winter.
There is certainty a past aspect of bullying, and the constant angst that there is someone in the background, but who it is?? It could be a family member, a jilted lover, a stalker.
The rollercoaster of story keeps Aspen and Pheonix, their Grandad, Joe, the Uncle and cousins all continue to develop. The world building and continuity is great. I really am anxious to know what happens next.

This is book 7 in the Hidden Valley Elite series. I honestly can’t give this series enough praise. I have loved every story. I was waiting on the edge of my seat for this book after the cliff hanger the last book left me on.
This book follow the last of the 4 men we have read about in this series (definately read them from the start).
We are with Shane and Winter in this story.
When we rejoin Shane he is struggling through the fallout and consequences of his actions. When Winter reappears in his life. Winter used to bully Shane and made his life hell and now he sees his chance for revenge. To make her feel as low and as worthless as he felt all those years ago. What he doesn’t realise is Winter can’t possible feel any lower than she already does.
Winter has returned to university after leaving her Foster parents. Winter has had a traumatic past with losing her sister at her mother’s hands and now her past is about to catch up with her as her mother parole date looms. As she struggles with lost memories, anger towards her mother and nightmares she can’t shake Shane becomes her shining light making her feel safe.
But with so many secrets and lies between them do they even stand a chance of being together. And when their pasts catch up with them a secrets start coming to life would they even want to be together. What happens when the need for revenge turns into a connection and a passion neither one can deny.
Like with the other romances the chemistry between our characters is on fire but the angst, trauma and struggles they have to go through is what makes me fall in love with them.

Wicked Games is the next instalment of the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn. I have read every book of this series so far and have been eagerly anticipating Shane’s story. I feel out of the 4 main characters he is the one I know least about and have the least connection with. I was really surprised by this story; it is much darker than the previous duets and I loved it! This book follows the story of Shane and Winter. There are so many different elements of this book that I cannot wait to resolve. I do not want to give away any spoilers, but this book ends on a massive cliffhanger, and I cannot wait for the last part.
