Salvaged Desires : A Reverse Harem Romance

Forever Her Men #4

by Mila Wilde

One salvage yard.
Three mechanics bound by loyalty and loss.
And a city girl who swore off love.

I drove to Oakridge to sign papers and dump a junkyard I never wanted. Instead, I got a year in a loft with the three insanely gorgeous men, who look at me like I’m a spark that could burn the whole place down.

Austen is steady hands and watchful eyes.
Tucker is reckless charm and a mouth that won’t quit.
Colt is quiet heat and a stare that sees straight through me.

They say they’ll keep the yard running.
They act like they’ll keep me safe.

But this town gossips, and late-night threats turn to trouble I can't ignore.
I should cut and run.

Instead, I’m falling for all three.
And I might be in too deep.

Small town. Big heat. No apologies.

A slow‑burn, high‑heat why‑choose small‑town romance about found family, blue‑collar tenderness, and second chances built from steel and stubbornness. For anyone who believes love can be welded from the pieces no one else knew what to do with. HEA guaranteed, no cliffhangers, no cheating!

About the author

Mila Wilde writes steamy books for women who want it all, heat, heart, and more than one man who worships the ground they walk on.

Her reverse harem romances are soaked in tension, soaked in desire, and never shy away from the messy, complicated, delicious parts of falling in love with more than one person. Her heroines are soft when they want to be, savage when they need to be, and never have to settle for less than everything.

If you’re looking for slow burns that explode, threesomes that turn into foursomes, and men who actually communicate (and still know how to ruin you in the best way)… you’re in the right place.

Mila writes like the door’s locked and no one’s watching. Come join the chaos. It’s hot in here.

Love this story. Communication was good throughout the book, until it hit a glitch and then wasn’t. But they got over the hump and communication was good again, which made me very happy. I love the way the FMC and the MMCs were a solid team. They stood up for each other and didn’t let one person carry a burden. I really enjoyed that dynamic. This book was easy to read and follow. It was mostly a feel good book, but had a bit of drama, suspense and intrigue. Even a few secrets. The spice was super good too. I would definitely recommend this book.

When Lacey finds out she has been left a Salvage yard from a grandfather she didn't know, she leaves everything behind and takes the chance that this will work out for her. The only problem is that she can't sell the business for a year; she will also have three lodgers on the property, Austen, Colt, and Tucker, who also work there. When she arrived, her welcome wasn't exactly friendly; they don't trust an outsider, especially someone who doesn't know the business. They know she'll sell as soon as she can.

Austen, with his brooding intensity, doesn't trust Lacey. Colt can read people quickly; he knows she'll be determined to prove them wrong. Tucker the charmer knows straight away that she is beautiful and just the type that all of them go for, but can he stop himself from flirting with the boss?

The three dance around the attraction until it's pulled so tightly. Is what Lacey heard true? If so, would she be interested in pursuing it? Eventually, the tension snaps. All four soon realise how easy the relationship develops and feelings deepen. But can Lacey deal with small-town rumours and the backlash of an unconventional relationship?

On top of all this, Lacey has to deal with her two Uncles, who contest the will. How far are they willing to go to get what they see as theirs?

Lacey is determined to succeed in the business with the men by her side. They are strongest when they are together, having each other's backs, and fighting for the love that they all share.

I loved this book from start to finish. The author did such an amazing job making you fall for each of the three men—Austen, Tucker, and Colt—all different, all deeply layered, and each one unforgettable. Austen is steady and grounding, Tucker brings wild charm and humor, and Colt… well, he’s the quiet storm with a stare that practically melts pages. Together, they create a dynamic that’s impossible not to root for.

This story is the perfect blend of slow-burn tension, found family warmth, and small-town secrets. The heroine’s journey—from guarded and unsure to fully stepping into her power and choosing love on her own terms—was beautifully done. My only wish was that we had a deeper dive into each character’s background and history but it was still a really great read.
If you're a fan of why-choose romances with heart, heat, and just the right amount of small-town drama, this is the one. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a HEA that feels completely earned. Highly recommend—one of the best I’ve read in this genre in a long time. I literally devoured it in one day.

Ok, so you take a chronic grump, add a planner, counter it with a joker, and the spice the whole concoction with an absolute fire cracker and what do you get? Spontaneous combustion, a.k.a. BOOM, BABY! Holy hand grenades, Girlies! I lobe me a good why choose story and this one has all the right elements, just in turned up to 11. Is there drama? of course, but since when does a good story not? Is there spice? Oh, honey! Does it ever! Could it do with more spice? 1)since when was there ever such a thing as too much spice? Especially with that flood of testosterone? 2) While the plot, the characters, and their relationship(s) certainly are all strong enough that more spice would not have been a detriment to the overall work, the spice, as is, seems to be just about perfect. But hey, I'm nit the author, so there's no use chez-lounge-quarterbacking, now is there? One thing is for certain - I will absolutely be looking for more!.

I feel like I write the same review for each of Mila Wilde’s books. But how many ways can you say that an author has an amazing writing style and writes a story with strong, relatable characters and intense connection? Yes, this is a book about a polyamorous relationship. And honestly, the notion of three smoking hot men all devoted to one woman is a bit of a stretch. Then again, that is why they call it fiction, right? Lacey, Tucker, Austen, and Colt started off on the wrong foot, but when the men realized just what a strong and determined woman Lacey was things started to shift. Their world is real and raw and gritty and such a refreshing change of pace from all the billionaire romances being written right now. This latest book of Mila’s featured a bit more action and suspense than her others, which was a nice change of pace. I always enjoy her books and I highly recommend this one.

A salvage yard, three mechanics, and a city girl brought together by chance - or was it? It's a mystery to Lacey why the grandfather she didn't know would have left her his salvage yard. And not only that, but she can't sell it for a year, she has to continue to employ Austen, Tucker, and Colt, and allow them to continue to life in the loft over the garage.

Sometimes found family can have closer ties than blood family and that's what these guys have. It doesn't take long for Lacey to win them over and they all settle into a new routine. Until the heat among them becomes something they can't ignore. As a team, they will need to navigate the will being contested, a natural disaster, and small town gossip. But Lacey's stubborn won't allow her to give in to the gossipers. And they find their HEA.

This book was such a good read. Tucker, Colt and Auston are the perfect combination to make the perfect partner. You have Tucker who is the fun loving and always up for anything guy, Auston who makes sure that everything thing gets done and has order to it and Colt who is laid-back and fiercely protective. They all work so well as a team to become the perfect unit for Lacey.

I loved how you saw the love grow between them all and how they went from individuals to a unit. There were so many twists and turns that you will never be bored with this read.

The spice was perfect! Spice perfectly balanced along with the storyline but plenty of spice to keep you interested.

Great book. Would recommend.

[Virginia Danyow · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wilde does it again! Lacey, Colt, Tucker, and Austen are thrown together when her grandfather dies and leaves her his salvage yard...and the three hot guys who live and work there. They want her, but fight their feelings for all different reasons. They think they're not good men. Lacey has had a few failed relationships that left her feeling unworthy. Some stolen glances, a kiss, and lots of tequila have them giving in to temptation and taking a chance on each other. They battle two nasty uncles, a gossipy town, a tornado, and a fire to live their happily ever after. It burns as hot as the flames that almost cost them everything. Great read!.

Small town romance. (Harem reverse)
Lacey is a young woman who has just inherited her grandfather's junkyard, whom she never knew. She needs a new lease on life after a complicated breakup, so she decides to give it up. She didn't expect to also inherit three beautiful, grumpy men who lived and worked with her grandfather. While they are forced to live together, feelings begin to develop between them.
Will Lacey have a beautiful story with her three beautiful men, or will she be forced to sell the junkyard and separate from them….

This small-town romance feels a little different from the usual in the genre, though it’s not completely breaking new ground either. The writing is solid and the story is well-crafted, so if you really enjoy small-town romances, this might be a good fit for you. Personally, it didn’t completely click with me—I sometimes found myself second-guessing what the author was aiming for, and the pacing could have been a bit smoother. That said, it’s still a nice novel overall and worth a try if you’re a fan of the setting and style.

Wow! Mila Wilde did not disappoint with this book! Another great one from the series! The story line was amazing and kept you wanting to turn the pages quicker just to see what happens. The characters were very well developed and made you feel like you were right there with them, battling with them through the obstacles. I would love to say more but I really would not want to give anything really away because it is an amazing book to read! I will be reading this one again, even the series, for sure!.

Austen, Colt and Tucker have called the Winters' Salvage Yard home since Grandpa Winters took them in and gave them a home. Now the company is under new management and the new owner is a hot handful herself. The three men don't want to do anything that would cause their new boss, Lacey, to sell the place so they decide to live with, work with and somehow not sleep with their new roommate to keep the peace but best laid plans... This story was deliciously hot!.

An inheritance brings Lacey (FMC) to Oakridge. A small town that don't like outsiders that much. Made worse when she finds out her Savage Yard (what she inherited from her grandfather) includes 3 lodgers/employees - Tucker, Austen & Colt. Not all of them are exactly friendly especially Austen. A lot of it stems from their not so happy backstory.

Close proximity with all of them kicks off plenty of steamy scenarios. I loved their dynamic together and I liked that the heat between them built up slowly. I really enjoyed reading this book and I liked the main characters in it.

[Christina Morantz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was written very well. I felt like I was transported into the yard with the characters. Earl was a guy who left his granddaughter his life's work and the story develops from there. The twists and turns were not predicted at all. I love not being able to guess what is going to happen next and this author completely blew my expectations out of the water.

She just inherited a savage yard from her grandfather that she never knew she had. Her plan is simple, take inventory and then sell it, what she does not expect is the three guys that come with the place, or that she has to live with them. They are not happy about the new ownership, but soon realize that she needs to be protected.

Fan of small town romances and big city girl added to the mix, and the tension on top was so good. Austen, colt and tucker, are a wonderful trio, they work well together. I loved how determined Lacey was, cause girl a salvage yard, that is no easy task, but one could say it was worth it.

So you go into a small town to deal with a business and property only to meet three hot mechanics who have no idea how to repress the feeling that comes about the four of you. Very hot and great ending.
