Wes might be all I have at the moment, good or bad.
He’s as wild as ever, and I know it’s my fault.
He’s not made for love and I’m not made to be pushed around.
Together, it’s explosive – in more ways than one.
And when I set my sights on revenge, I have to keep it close to my heart.
Except there’s one problem with that.
Wes is close to my heart too.
And he might not be the only one with the way things are going.
We promised each other no more secrets, but oh well… promises were meant to be broken – just like hearts.
Hidden Creek Love (Hidden Creek High #2) Reviews
-
“We promised each other no more secrets, but oh well… promises were meant to be broken–just like hearts.”
More secrets unveiled and still more to come!
This is a town hidden with secrets that Wes is trying to protect Aira from while she is trying to uncover them.
“I’m supposed to protect her. Love her. No matter what.”
Wes and Aira love grows more in this story while dealing with enemies known and unknown. The relationship is constantly being tested.
“Because when he and I were together, people got hurt. Bad things happened. It was like the town wanted us ripped apart and nothing was going to stop that from happening.”
I loved the dynamics of the four girls and the guys group. It added to the story and have many LoL moments.
More drama, enemies, fist fights, friendship, family tension, more secrets and lies.
Looking forward to book 3!

HIDDEN CREEK LOVE By Jaxson Kidman
Jaxson, you are killing me! As I sit here with Hidden Creek Love in hand completed, I am wondering how any book will keep me glued to it like this one has, at least until the next part of this series I am sure. I did not see where this one was going, and wow is it a doozy! Hidden Creek Love is the 2nd book in this series and it is a great one! I am waiting on the next part impatiently. I am fully vested in Weslee and Aira, and their friends are such a great addition to the story. There are more secrets, more intrigue, more suspense and more trouble.
Mr. Kidman has a gift for making you feel like you are standing next to Wes and Aira in the story and watching what is happening rather than reading about it. I really wanted to slow down while reading this as I didn't want the story to end, but I had to find out what was happening. I was stunned by the cliffhanger in this one wow, just wow! This is once again a 5 star story that I would love to give more as it certainly deserves it. Jaxson, you are definitely a genius in the way you spin a story! -
Ugh!
So I started this series yesterday and just finished the 2nd book. I'm mad and confused and need more now! I know that doesn't make sense but it was so good until the ending blew me away again. I hate cliffhangers which is why I need more asap! Book 3 here I come! -

POV:Dual
The Secrets Don't Stop.
It's not so much my emotions this time. It's more questions this time. How's and why's. And what do these people get from it?
Continuing from where it left off in Hidden Creek Secrets. Aira's secret was exposed by Mika and Ryland.
But with the help of her friends, Charlotte, Kailey and Emma, they've given Aira a secret belonging to Mika, that will really hurt her.
Will she use it?
Will she stoop to the bullies level?
With things still being tense in Hidden. Aira decides to take Weslee back to Highland to what used to be her house. And to figure out who would deliberately burn her house down, with her and her Mother in it.
"Even if it meant going back to look at ashes of what was once her house. Sad to admit it, but that was better than dealing with secrets of HCH." ~ Wes
When they get to Highland and see Aira's parents, they're the perfect couple in front of people and a mess behind closed doors.
With wanting the truth about the arson, her father, Jack, is getting on with business and pawns her off with a vague answers of that it could have been anyone. The town apparently hates him.
He's got secrets.
Why has he got a secret cabin?
Aira stumbled upon that one. But hasn't questioned him over it.
Does he have mistresses?
Or is it just a quiet get away?
Why all the out of town business?
Meanwhile, Ryland is still stirring shit up. And causing a nuance of himself. He thinks he's good at letting the truth slip in forms of rumours. And letting other people take the fall.
Then we have West, who's Weslee's father.
He's turned up like the proverbial bad penny that he is. Claiming what's due to him, and getting it any way he sees fit.
Wes just wants him gone.
Wes is still determined to protect Aira.
But there's still secrets between them.
"Because when he and I were together, people got hurt. Bad things happened. It was like the town wanted us ripped apart and nothing was going to stop that from happening." ~ Aira
The guys are still a hoot, the girls are amazing. Hoping that there's more to come with a certain couple there.
They're all loyal to Wes and Aira.
That cliffhanger! I did tear up there.
What's she gonna do now?
Hidden, is where rumours are spread by whispers of the truth. And it's getting messy.
My mind is swimming with questions and theories.
Needing book 3 asap!!
*I received an Arc copy in exchange for an honest review * -
Aira learns the fire that burned down her house and changed her life forever, was deliberate and done with malicious intent. Aira wants answers.
Being in Hidden and going to HCH has led to nothing but problems for Aira. Wes is her only saving grace. She's not the new girl anymore. She's the messed up one. Aira has Wes to help her navigate the effects and scrutiny of her secret, that's now being spread throughout the town. She's still dealing with the aftershocks while being pursued by someone with less than good intentions, but she is also supported by three awesome friends who have her back no matter what.
It seems all of Aira's secrets are now out in the open. The secrets of Hidden? Not so much. What is everyone hiding? Is Wes involved? If so, what is he hiding? Things go from bad to worse when secrets are told and lives are ruined.
WOW! I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING !
This book, this series, will take you through many emotions-Love, Hope, Anger, Shock, Fear, Jealousy and many others. These characters are complex and relatable because of their struggles and determination for their HEA, which keeps escaping them. AIRA AND WES ARE STRONGER TOGETHER, BUT YOU CAN ONLY BE STRONG FOR SO LONG BEFORE LIFE WEAKENS YOUR DEFENSES AND YOU EVENTUALLY BREAK. THIS BOOK WAS INTENSE, RAW AND FULL OF INTENTIONS, BOTH GOOD AND BAD.
I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN !
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE HIDDEN CREEK HIGH SERIES AS A DEFINITE MUST READ ! -
WOW!!!!!!!! The second book does not disappoint! Wes and Aira's story continues as more secrets are revealed, and not just theirs. The threat from Ryland is increasing, Wes's absent father shows up, and that's just the beginning of the fireworks! Can the deep love they have withstand the secrets of the Town? I don't want to spoil anything, you just have to get it now...you won't be able to put it down!!!
-
The wild ride of Wes and Aira continues. There are new people introduced in this book with new secrets. Some secrets have come to light one way or another and there are plenty still hidden to make you ready for the next book. This book will keep you in it from the very beginning. I enjoyed it and can't wait for book 3.
-
More freaking secrets
This series is frustrating the carp out of me!! Unraveling then BAM more secrets I mean really???
Just tell us readers already then let the butt kicking commence please!!
I CANNOT wait for the next book.
If you love drama, teen angst and freaking frustrating characters....then dangit this series is for you.
I totally recommend it.
Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis -
This is a great book and will pull you right in. It’s the first in a series where we meet Wes and Aira. They knew each other as kids and then Aira moved away. Now she is back and realizes she is falling for him. There are a lot of secrets and other characters that make this story intriguing.
-
Jaxson Kidman left us hanging with the end of Book 1. And just kept drawing us in with Book 2...whoa!
Wes and Aira continue to be the center of controversy. Neither escaping their past, drowning in the present, and apparently no hope for a future.
Secrets, their own and everyone’s around them, seem to be surfacing. Dark pasts, demons, and revenge are always lurking. What happens when you can’t even trust yourself! -
Jaxson Kidman does it again. The first book Hidden Creek Secrets has more secrets, second chances romance. If you haven’t read the first book you definitely has to before reading this one. Lots of laughter, love and some secrets are revealed. Was not expecting the ending to end the way it did. But that gives us a reason to stick around and read Jaxson’s books. All his books deserves 5 stars more if possible. Read the book you won’t be sorry. I’m sticking around to read his books
-
WOW!! Definitely 5 Stars from me! Like the first book, Hidden Creek Secrets, this book pulls you in from the very start. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to reveal anything with my review, no spoilers, I'll just say, if you loved the first book, you will definitely love this one. Lots of love, laughter and some secrets finally exposed. Wasn't expecting how it ended, but I can't wait to read the next part. Jaxson Kidman does it again, pure genius! 💗
-
Wes and Aria are a couple of starcrossed high school sweethearts.
HCH is full of bullies and secrets.
Just when things seem to be going their way, Wes and Aria hit a roadblock with yet another secret that comes to light. -
Ok I'm officially speechless..
Once again Jaxson has done it... Awesome, awesome read!! I can't stress enough about his books, especially this series, a MUST READ!!! Right now I don't know whether to scream or to hit something, he leaves it hanging that good.. The anticipation waiting for the next 2 weeks is gonna kill me.. Aira and Wes.. They are probably my favorite right now! Secrets are what this is all about and its just that damn good!! -
Awesome book takes you right back to high school and the bad boys and mean girls! Exposing the secrets and learning to live with and love each other. Epic story and deep characters make this some of the best work ever!
-
And the secrets keep coming out. The one thing im loving (well there are several) is how these secrets they all try to hard to keep buried deep within, always find a way to come to the surface.
This series is off to an awesome start and I cannot wait to see what else happens. -
4.5 stars!
I read the first book in this series just after it released last month! I enjoyed the first book and it was left at quite an ending and a lot of secrets had been exposed, so I couldn't wait to read this book and find out what was going to happen next! grabbed a copy of this book as soon as it released and luckily had just finished my current read, so I was able to read it straightaway! After reading this book, I can say that I enjoyed it just as much as the first book! The plot developed at the perfect pace and it kept me intrigued and wanting to read on! The plot was developed on brilliantly from where it left off too! There was also plenty of romance in the plot between the two main characters, which allowed for a few seriously hot scenes! There were some action and suspense scenes too! The characters were again amazing and made this book even better! Aira was again the main female character, and in this book she was dealing with a big secret that had come out and was dealing with a lot of other things too! I did feel for her because Aira just wanted to go to school and be left alone! She also had people gunning to make her life a misery, but she had a close group of friends too, who helped her and supported her! Aira had grown from the girl in the first book and she stuck up for herself and wasn't as scared! Wes was again the main male character and love interest of Aira! I liked Wes a lot in this book! I felt like he had grown from the first book and It was easy to see how much he cared about Aira too and he just wanted to protect her! Wes did keep a secret from Aira and it had an impact on their relationship! They did go through a few bumps in this book and I can't wait to see if they can reconcile in the next book! Wes also used his fists a lot in this book, but he was taunted a lot and did it to protect those he cared about! I loved that this book was written from Aira and Wes's point of views! I was expecting it to be because the first book was written from both characters point of views, so I'm really happy that this book was too! It helped me connect and understand Aira and Wes more! It allowed for more things to happen in the plot too, especially as both characters were going through their own things and spent a lot of the plot together, but did their own thing as well! I have to be honest and say that I though that this book was the final book in this series! I couldn't see any more books on Amazon or Goodreads before I started reading, so I was surprised when I got to the end of this book and it was left open and another book was announced! I am really happy that there's another book because I can't wait to read more on Aira and Wes, but I probably would have waited until closer to the next book releasing before I read this book! It does release very soon though, so I'm happy that I won't have to wait ages for it! The cover for this book is also absolutely perfect for it! I love it a lot and I love how well it matches the cover for the first book too! The cover really suits the feel of the book and what happens in it as well! -
OMG... I'm in shock. MUST READ!!!
So many secrets being kept from each other. Wes took Aira back to see the house that was burned down. While there her parents treat her like she isn't even a part of their family. I wanted to reach into the book and throat punch them. Aira, at one point, had received a secret about if she really wanted to get back at her for making public her cutting issue she has. Someone found this information and made it public. Now Aiara and Wes are having their trust issues again. And this secret about Wes's brother Azel??? But, instead of talking things over with Aira he believes she was actually the one to let this secret out. He then turns to Noelle of all people to talk to about it all. Aira can see and hear them talking. It blow my mind at this point that Wes doesn't try hard enough to correct the issues and instead turns it back on Aira. Like it's all her fault. He says he loves her but I don't believe that anymore. Wes and Aira keep saying no more secrets with each other but then something else happens and more lies get pulled to the surface. Jaxson, I don't hate you for the huge cliffhanger but, I am VERY frustrated. Talk about feelings going up and down. You will love the characters one moment and in the next you will want to beat the s@!* out of them. Jaxson has pulled out all the stops for this series. You feel like you are back in high school with all your friends again. Going through all the drama you, yourself went through. You are such a talented author and I'm loving this series. I can't get enough. The town name fits so well. Give me more NOW Jaxson. -
Holy Creek! Jaxson Kidman is killing me with series! Each book is leaving more desperate for the next! I may actually die before June 15th when book three comes out! I need it more than air right now!
The secrets in Hidden Creek never stop, they keep coming destroying anything and everything in the way! Aria and Weslee's relationship is nothing compared to the town.
When the past meets the present it gets ugly, but it gets uglier when you keep a secret and the world finds out. Hidden Creek is a toxic little town, and I'm not convinced people actually make it out alive or in one piece, and not missing their hearts.
Weslee and Ryland's fight is worse than ever, and Ryland is willing to takedown Aria in order to get to Wes. In book one Aria's secret was revealed by Mika. In book two Mika's secret is revealed and everyone is looking at Aria.
They promised no more secrets between them but it looks like neither Wes or Aria could keep that promise. When things get tough will they be able to stick together or be torn apart?
Hidden Creek Love is a wild, emotional ride, and I love every single second of it! Hidden Creek Secrets was amazing, Hidden Creek Love is even better, I cannot wait to see what Jaxson has instore in Hidden Creek Darkness!
This series is one of the best YA series I have read! Definitely a must read! -
Ok... where to start?
The story takes place in what, presumably, is a small town. How can people in such a small town hide so many secrets? Furthermore, these are mostly teenagers, so what kind of life altering secrets can they have?
From what I read so far in books #1 and #2, they are far from that (life altering secrets, that is!)! They might all be relevant issues, things that maybe you don't want people to know about, but it's all taken so much out of proportion, at least so far.
Furthermore, how can the adults around these teenagers be ok with all the fighting they do! Someone ought to question why these kids 1st: don't show up to school, or are always cutting class; and 2nd: why they are always showing up everywhere they go all beaten up.
All these secrets just went from mysterious to annoying.
As is annoying the fact that the author doesn't know another verb other than "said". There are pages of dialog where all we read is: "he said"; "she said"; "so and so said". If you don't know a different verb, just rephrase the whole thing so it doesn't look like my 10 year old son wrote it.
Sorry, but not really feeling this one. The only reason for not giving it a single star is because I still have hope for the next books, based on them having so many positive reviews. Fingers crossed🤞 for the next book. -
SERIOUSLY!!!!!
SPOILERS......
Oh my goodness!
I couldn’t read fast enough.
Wesley and Aira’s story would take you for a ride full of emotions. Some of the characters you would love and others are gonna make you want to curse at the author (Jaxson Kidman) for the idea of them.
The story keeps getting better as more secrets keep coming out and at the same time am wondering do I even want to know more? Yes! I do, I do.
As we know, in HCS Aira’s house in Highland was set on fire with her inside! Wesley and Ryland can’t stand each other. Mika exposed Aira’s secret. There’s something, or nothing, between Jeff and Julia (am dying to know about them).
HCL had me rooting for Aira and Wesley and then they made each other promises and then break them and break hearts......... I don’t even have words...... All I can said is you would want to read this series.
Another ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ -
>Book Review – Hidden Creek Love
>I am an independent reviewer. This book is the 2nd in the Hidden Creek High series and ends with a cliffhanger. Wes and Aira are a couple now, but Aira is really jealous of his friendship with Noelle and Wes fights anyone who bothers Aira. Ryland is the bad guy, but all he really does is cause problems by exposing everyone’s secrets. Aira is a cutter and her secret is exposed causing all the adults in her life to stop trusting her. Wes wants to be a rock for her, but for some reason he can’t see how his actions with Noelle bother Aira.
>The series is all about secrets hidden in “Hidden”. When some of these secrets come to light, they really don’t seem that relationship ending as the characters seem to think they are. This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this book 4 stars. These characters act emotionally like they are in high school, but they act physically as adults. -
This book makes you feel so many things!
☑Love
☑Hate
☑Jealousy
☑Deception
☑Angst
☑Anger
This is the second book of the Hidden Creek High series. This book does not disappoint! I read it in one sitting, granted I was up nearly all night, but that is just a testament to how invested you become in these characters and their story!
I love the connection between Wes and Aria, and their relationships with all of the secondary characters. These characters just add to the intricacies of this story. I won't say much, because you can't without giving away the "secrets" of the book. The town of Hidden has definitely lived up to its name. Secrets are being revealed just to expose more and more causing pain and chaos for everyone involved.
Don't pass up this book or this series. It is truly amazing and Jaxson has done a fantastic job in its creation. I can't recommend it enough! #HCH -
This book is the 1st in the Hidden Creek High series and ends in a cliffhanger. Wes and Aria grew up together until they were 10 years old. Aria moves back as a teen after her house burns to the ground. Aria and Wes reconnect, even though Wes is now a “bad boy”. The entire drama of book surrounds around the town and hoe everyone has secrets. A popular boy starts to tease Aria at school and Wes really takes offense, way more than I felt was necessary.
I didn’t understand why having your house burn down was such a huge secret. I honestly didn't understand what the big deal was with most of the secrets. The more this series drags on, I like it less and less. The same conflicts spread over several books. Aria becomes more unlikeable as the series goes on.
I found this series immature, but it is free on KU, and plenty of people have liked it so give it a try. -
5 stars for Hidden Creek Love by Jaxson Kidman. This is book 2 in The Hidden Creek High Series. Wow so many secrets and so many secrets being exposed. This book picks up right were book 1 finished. Aria doesn’t know what to do with her darkest secret exposed and the things she has learned about her house fire. Wes and Aria’s relationship is rocky. These two promised no more secrets but still continue to have them. With danger around every corner what with these two do. “We promised each other no more secrets, but oh well… promises were meant to be broken – just like hearts.” Aria is becoming a lot stronger and I love this. I love when a heroine really learns to stand up for herself. I don’t want to say to much cause of spoilers but be ready for a wild ride.
-
If you thought book one was good, wait until you’ve finished this one.
Wes and Aira continue to be troubled by their pasts and their present, preventing them a future. Hidden Creek High continues to torment and twist them and throw out trauma. Every time you think they’ve got their lives straight, another ghost appears and changes it all.
Secrets are revealed, lies are told and even though they hurt, truths appear when least expected.
I couldn’t put the book down, I had to know more, to discover which secrets would be revealed next and Jaxson did not disappoint. In fact, by the end, you’ll be cursing his name 🖤 -
Nothing stays hidden in Hidden!
So many secrets and they start to unravel in this continuation of Wes and Aira's story as they journey through HS while nurturing their budding romance. Wes becomes overly protective of Aira trying to shield her from the drama. who doesn't love a guy who fights for you, literally! This is a fast paced story that ends in a major cliffhanger. You only have to wait a few weeks for the next book. I highly recommend this and just about any Jaxson Kidman book! His books are so raw and intriguing they captivate you and cause lingering emotions long after the end! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
