The Wildflower by J.L. Beck
4.0

The Wildflower is book two in a duet. It picks up where The Wallflower left off with Drew still being his unapologetic self, but Bel was changing and becoming stronger.

Bel fights back despite the pain and hurt caused by Drew's toxicity, but was it enough? Their imperfect relationship was not progressing fast enough for me in this book. Bel was a disappointment to me because she was still giving Drew too much power. Drew was still an alpha hole who needed to grovel more. However, the story had several unexpected plot twists that kept me interested.

The journey of establishing complete trust and forgiveness was a must in order for Bel and Drew to move on, and I appreciated seeing the dark and formidable Drew finally be vulnerable and open his heart. He truly does care for the people he loves including his mom and Bel. 

The brother/sister relationship between Bel and Sebastian was enjoyable and heartwarming considering they were strangers who just found a family connection. I look forward to Sebastian's story next.

If you enjoy romantic suspense with many mind-blowing secrets and compelling characters, give this book a try.
