Forbidden romance threatens an exotic flower farmer’s business when two Flambé waiters become entranced with her.
BECCA When my best friend ditches me at Flambé with two panty-melting waiters the last thing I expect is to have a big-O in public. My tattoos and exotic flower farm make me seem wild, but I’m not that kind of woman … am I? I still live with my parents and my farm is on their land. Dating two men doesn’t fit into their conservative life plan for me. But when mom sets me up on another horrific blind date, I return to Flambé. And now, momma’s ugly duckling has a secret. Can I keep it without her finding out? Cliff jumping, hot nights, and photo shoots are fun, but is it worth losing my farm because of Archer and Finn?
ARCHER I came to Hawaii to forget the past. Control is an illusion and the universe will kick your ass. So, I’m going to kick right thrills, fun, no commitments and no problems. That includes the sexy florist that blooms when she’s with me and my coworker Finn. The three of us are a recipe for sin, but I’m living on borrowed time, and there’s no way I’m falling in love.
FINN My photo teacher says I’m a “derivative, uninspired hack.” He isn’t wrong. I haven’t photographed anything worthwhile in ages. But everything changes when Becca walks into Flambé. Who knew a botanical-tattooed muse could set my photography on fire? The my new work is too risqué, and I’m going to fail my class if I don’t present anything at the university show. Can I betray Becca’s trust, when I’m just starting to have feelings for her? And is she ready for our three-person relationship to be public?
Wild Flower is a standalone, spicy, menage romantic comedy and the sixth book in the Flambé series.
THE FLAMBÉ Flaming drinks, decadent desserts, and hot Hawaiian nights! Read the Flambé series and follow the steamy adventures of restaurateur Arie Noel (and her staff) as she opens the hottest new restaurant in Waikiki. Dessert is always on the menu.
First, I LOVE this whole series! Secondly, I just want to wrap Becca up in a hug but I think Finn and Archer have her covered.
I feel like this book dives in head first in with how spicy it can be when not just one, but two men, want you. From the start the boys initiate their intentions with Becca and leave her wanting more. She responds like I feel like most of us would with hesitation, but quickly jumps into the deep end. I will add that I wasn't expecting the level of emotion that I felt with Archer's story line. Elle has done a number on my heart when I've read through the Flambé series, so I honestly should have expected something but this was heartbreaking in a really beautiful way. He's in a really dark place and it takes two people that really love him for him to see that there is something worth fighting for.
Becca's journey to becoming an independent bad ass is one that I can definitely get on board with. If you want an FMC that you'll root for from page one, I think you found her.
You don't have to read the whole series before starting this book but I feel like you will love it even more if you get to know a few of the side characters before starting this one.
I’ve read it quickly. It was a slow start but bang! The action started and I couldn’t put it down. Becca is a florist who owns her own business, Birds of Paradise, specialising in exotic and poisonous species of flowers. She loves to nurture these plants, taking special care of them and enjoys all this with her best friend, Miranda, who works for her in the shop. She’s out once night with Miranda and her boyfriend, playing the third wheel at the most flamboyant, sexy restaurant, Flambé. What she doesn’t know is this night is the start of her life!! Miranda leaves her in the capable hands of her cousin who works there, Finn and his waiter friend, Archer. It’s a night to remember and all her life as she knows it takes a new direction. Much to constant feeling of disappointment from her mother, who is always complaining she’s not perfect like her sister. Archer and Finn are like nothing she’s experienced before. All of a sudden she’s thrown into wild times, cliff jumping, a sexy photo shoot (Finn is a student photographer) and she didn’t realise she was this sexy, floral tattooed woman who loved to misbehave. But there are secrets, drama and lies weaved into their story. I was able to enjoy this book as a stand-alone without having read the other books, although know I need to read all about the other people in the story.
I absolutely loved this story so much!!! This was my first full length read by this author and it did no it disappoint in the slightest. Rom-coms are definitely not my normal genre of reading but it was a nice change from all the dark romances. I enjoyed everything about this little story from the 3 main characters to their relationships with each other (definitely got bonus points for being a throuple). Also who could forget all the flower references,i may or may not of looked some of them up lol. I don’t wanna give any thing away story wise because I definitely think that everyone should give this book and give Elle Berlin a chance! But I will absolutely be going back and picking up the rest of this series because i am hooked!!! And I can’t wait to read more in the very near future I give this story a 4/5 stars and a 3/5 on the spice scale for me. There is a small trigger list at the beginning of this book so as always make sure you give that a read before starting just in case. But i will say this is absolutely worth their read!!!
This was my first book by Elle Berlin and let me say I was thrown for a loop. This MFM menage romantic comedy was so much more.
Right off the bat, Elle hits you with the spice that will leave you with your mouth hanging open. Becca is having dinner with her best friend and her best friend’s boyfriend, completely feeling like a third wheel. Enter Archer and Finn. Archer and Finn are waiters at the restaurant and start flirting with Becca. Soon after, Becca is having the time of her life with the two men.
I laughed out loud at Becca’s inner monologues. I loved her tenacity with her flower farm and running her own business. She is definitely a badass in my eyes. I did feel for her. She was undeniably herself, not fitting into the mold of the rest of her family, and I hated how her mom was such a jerk to her. I just wanted to slap her mom silly and show her what a wonderful daughter she has.
Becca, Archer, and Finn together was pure magic. Three souls coming together and finding solace in each other. I loved how Archer found in Becca and Finn something to fight for amidst his struggles. And the way Archer stoop up to both Becca’s mom and sister for her. Swoon!
I was entranced and infatuated with this book. This was a first time read for me. I haven’t read anything by Elle Berlin and man o man. That will be changing IMMEDIATELY. I need the entire beginning of the series now🤣
Luckily for me, “Wild Flower” was a stand-alone read. I received this as an ARC read and so fortunate.
I was lmao off quite literally through the whole book. I have never read a romance book with food play? Public sex? Passion?
It had it ALL. I was sucked in within the first 5 pages. Love Becca and all that she represents. Her parents can go fly a kite. But the two guys she was with? 🥵🥵🥵 holy crap🤣 hotness overload. Y’all need to run to buy this.
I have a hangover after my last arc read I finished and now that I finished this? No clue what I’m gonna do. 🤣
*This was received as an ARC. This review is voluntary.* Be still my heart and spank me silly! I thought I was in love with the previous book in the series. I was greatly mistaken!! I binge read this in less than three days. There’s witty dialogue, wicked parents, lovable characters, and intriguing plot twists abound. Add this to my books that I’ll love forever🖤
Becca is the personification of everything I strive to be in life. She’s queen. She’s beautiful. She’s fearless! I love that she defies conventional standards in all areas - beauty, work, personal life. I love that she stays authentic to herself as best as possible. And the boys?!? Take me to Paris. I’m ready🔥🥵 They’re the perfect yin yang duo. I have to admit that I was rooting for Becca to end up with Finn in the end. However, I grew a soft spot for Archer. His character arc was truly masterful and authentic to what could happen in real life. Is the thruple authentic to real life? I’ll let you be the judge of that. 😉
“Only as hard as you want us to, sweetheart.” -Archer
Dark corners, dim lighting, and flower erotica. Who knew the three could be combined into something so fun and flirty.
Becca is fabulous. From her looks, to her passion of local flora, to how she grew and became this lioness who you couldn’t look away from. Finn is such a sweetheart. It would have been nice to have him have a louder voice. Sometimes he faded into the background. Archer is a buttmunch. He may be hot and charismatic, but was selfish. So happy Val talked some sense into him.
There were a lot of things that made me happy while reading. From listing book tropes, talking about “bat-boy” fantasies (#IYKYK 😉), and then to the locations of these escapades. Spectacular!!
The story line was great! I think that this would have been better taking out the comedy only because there were several spots where the comedy felt forced. The only other thing I didn’t care for was the constant mention of romance novels. The fmc reads we definitely got that.
This story was about an e attic flower farmer/ flower boutique owner. She reads lots or romance novels and is apparently a closet freak in the bedroom. She entices two waters at a very risqué restaurant. The restaurant is supposed to sell sex through their flaming foods and drinks. One of the men had cancer and is in remission and running from it because he is scared. The other man is a photography student who ends up getting a debut in a showcase. The pictures are very provocative and yet so much life is in them.
All in all this was a good read an kept you wanting to read to the end.

My journey with Elle Berlin started with Flambé, followed by Gin and Lava. I still need to read the others in this series!
Wild Flower for me is a different pace altogether. Still humorous and had me grinning but I found this one far more emotional due to Archers journey and of course it is spicy, it's a MFM menage and is hot.
I loved all the characters and enjoyed their journey very much. I loved the fact Becca is so different and true to herself inspite of her family. I would've liked more on Finn personally, I am partial to the quiet gentle type and felt he was left out in the character background depth.
I'm also very glad Mason got a brief appearance. He's still my favourite, I love that man he's an absolute hoot!
Elle has written an amazing series and I absolutely love these books. This was wonderful MFM Menage story. Becca, Archer and Finn. I loved all 3 of them for all different reasons. Becca is a florist and she has her own floral garden business. Both Archer and Finn are waiters at Flambé. All 3 have their own struggles and demons to fight through. Please read triggers as there were some subjects that were heartbreaking and was all approached very well through the writing. It really put me through an emotional roller coaster, with banter and humour. I absolutely devoured this book, they are all very hot and Steamy books, this having 3 of them made it extra extra hot and spicy. Honestly you will love all these books.
I read Gin and Lava and fell in love with Elle Berlin’s Flambé series. This latest addition, MFM, is again super spicy, emotional and a journey to independence for Becca. Meeting Archer and Finn gives Becca not only her first man-produced O but also bolsters her confidence. Honestly the descriptions of Becca make her sound amazing. I would love to see someone with the tattoos she has. This is a series more people should be reading. It’s that good. If you want a story that has a plot, great chemistry between characters, some tension and angst, and top tier spice then pick this up.
Elle gives us a sexy, sweet and emotional book in the Flambé series! Becca's story with Archer and Finn begins with her being the third wheel to her best friend and her friend's boyfriend. She meets Archer and Finn and we see everything begins to bloom between them. Beautifully written with complex characters and plot twists that keep you turning pages throughout, this book deals with some heavy stuff very sensitively. I definitely suggest that you read the trigger warnings, but I highly recommend this book. Don't miss out on this book!!
This was my first book by Elle and it won’t be the last! I loved the character but I wish there was more on Finn! I also really loved how Becca was so different but always stayed true to herself!
If your looking for a MFM menage romance that is hot and make you grin like crazy this book is for you!
Archer and Finn work at Flambe where they meet Becca after he friend Miranda leaves her in Archer's hands for the evening. Days later she returns with a date and things go crazy from there. I love Arie and her fire and bluntness. I really liked Finn because he was a mixture of sweet and sexy, Archer was naughty and cocky. An enjoyable steamy with a good storyline.
I absolutely devoured this book!! Absolutely loved Becca and Finn and Archer!! And only Elle could get me to be panting from how hot a certain scene was to crying 20 chapters later. I loved it so much. Heartfelt, a little taboo, spicy but sweet. All the things i have loved about the Flambé series so far!
second read from Elle Berlin - and she did not disappoint!!! Gave a little of a slow start but the second I got hooked, I couldnt put it down! JUST WOW! Love the MFM. Love the dynamic all three share with each other!
Heartfelt. Spicy yet sweet. Each guy had a different side, and it complimented so well.
I jumped into this series with this book and I loved it. Ménage is one of my favorite tropes and this did not disappoint. The spice starts in the first couple chapters and continues throughout the book. The story is sweet and romantic and the conflict lasts just long enough for the HEA to be extremely satisfying. I want to go back and read the rest of the series.
I loved the idea of a MFM that worked so effortlessly. The sex scenes were hot and spicy. I’m going to have to go back and read the rest of the books in the series now. I can’t wait.
Berlin makes a throuple story about more than sex and I’m here for it! Spice and banter and exotic flowers all set the scene for a decadent gem of a book.
Have you ever started reading something and never and I mean NEVER wanted it to end? Yeah, that was this book. Devoured it in one day so fast that I think ima have to take a 2nd day and reread it, omg was it good! Every single lust-filled chapter was just delicious. I love, love, love it. I fully loved Gin & Lava and still do but this is my newfound favorite omg! Outstanding Job Elle!
This was my favorite of the six books so far!!! Who wouldn't want to be the center of attention of two hot men!! Archer, Finn, and Becca are perfect together. This can be read alone or in order of the series as the characters from other books make appearances also. Go read this!!
