This story was a disappointment compared to the last 3 I've read. The last 3 had the perfect mix of alphaholes, sweetness, and growth. By the end of this book, I did not want Valentina with Sal at all. Armani and Fausto were perfect as they helped her and seemed to care about her. Sal was completely and utterly awful to her. She was an innocent like his sister, Lily. And he treated her terribly. And even after becoming nice to her, he pulled the crap with Marco. I get it was to protect her and he had some severe trauma from what Carlo Rossi did to him, but man! There had to be a better way. And he didn't even grovel like he should have. Like the guys did in other books! Lucien wasn't even that bad!! I did absolutely adore Valentina! She deserved better. So much better!

I felt this book didn't flow as nicely as the previous in the series. The characters feel less developed, and Sal is unreasonable. Least favourite of the series so far.

This series!!! They're all so good! This is my first Loxley Savage book, but I'll definitely be digging through her backlist as I loved the writing style, plus I've heard good things about a lot of her books.

Wilted Orchid is a bit different than the other books, as she is the youngest, but that doesn't mean she isn't as fiesty! I love Val! She may be a bit sheltered, but she isn't afraid to speak her mind. When this one gets spicy, it gets spicy! Sal, Fausto and Armani are
