Paris Trilogy #1-3
Orchid Club: Paris: The Complete Trilogy
Once, they were engaged, now they’re enemies. Until they meet again in Paris at a secret BDSM club for the world’s uber wealthy.
They may hate each other for what happened in their past, but their sexual chemistry makes them perfect D/s partners.
When the real world intrudes and the past repeats itself, Solomon leaves, but Vivienne isn’t going to let the only man she’s ever loved walk away without a fight.
They’re perfect together, and terrible for one another. They swear it’s the last time, but fate—and a billionaire friend with a private jet—are about to intervene.
Locked away together, they’ll have to decide if love is enough…
…and if they’re willing to promise forever.

Book 1
After battling through a couple of troublesome arcs, I decided to indulge in a low expectation read. So colour me incredibly surprised when this turned out to be quite an engaging, emotional and utterly captivating read.
Solomon is absolutely to die for, so gorgeously sexy, so stridently dominant and so sweetly caring. He doesn't make the best of first impressions when he flies all the way to Paris to warn James not to fall in love with Christiana, though he is doing it from the best of intentions. Having been left both emotionally and physically scarred by the one time he fell in love with a sub, Solomon doesn't want his friend to suffer the same fate.
As the book progressed I fell in love with Solomon, there really wasn't anything to dislike about him. No wonder that ex-love and sub, Vivi, couldn't say no to him. You've read the blurb, so you don't need me to tell you that Solomon takes a second chance with the woman who broke his heart. Their scenes together were hot, the chemistry in their own words explosive.
I felt actual BDSM play felt fairly tame, though also entirely suitable for a couple who haven't done a scene together for several years. It didn't need intense BDSM, the connection, the emotion and connection between Vivienne and Solomon was all the book needed. By the end of the book I felt totally invested in this couple.
Normally it's either the male that stuffs up - or at least I feel it is his fault - but this time the fault all lies with Vivienne. I can't wait to see how she makes things up to Solomon in Paris Punishment!
Book 2
Whilst Vivienne still hasn't completely atoned for her "sins", or fully accepted her part in the breakdown of their relationship, I do really like her. I am totally invested in Solomon and his HEA, and clearly he wants that to be with his Vivi, so I'm rooting for a reconciliation!
The ballroom scenes were equally sensuous, beautiful and emotional but the one that followed of Solomon watching Vivi sleep - that one was heartbreakingly intense. I find myself totally and utterly convinced about the depth of their feelings for one another.
I'm just glad that I don't have to wait for the next book!
Book 3
The conclusion to this trilogy was all I wanted and more. Both characters totally redeemed any previous misguided behaviour and, despite a few stumbles along, found their HEA. It wasn't easy and involved helicopters, a BDSM boat (oops sorry - ship) and the help of one very odd man. There were times I would have happily throat punched Nerio but I had to grudgingly accept that without his *ahem* unusual tactics Vivienne and Solomon may well have NOT gotten their act together, so he's forgiven.
This was a wonderful mix of BDSM, action and emotion packed scenes. Once started I quite simply didn't want to put the book down and I also didn't want the story to end. There wasn't a single thing I wanted to change about the story and my only wish is that I could read it for the first time again. If you enjoy really good second chance romance, a don't mind BDSM scenes in the story, then I definitely recommend this trilogy.

4⭐️ I liked that this book in the series, had an easy transition to new characters by still having James and Christiana as side characters.
I really liked seeing the complexities that life throws people and how a D/s couple could handle them, how that could change their power dynamic therefore their D/s relationship.
The story got convoluted when talking about Vivi’s sides of the family and family trees, bc it didn’t do anything for the main plot and just watered it all down and made it confusing. We get she was from two huge well known rich families. You can introduce a few people from the family without going over board.
We have flips between past and present which was annoying to begin with (bc I don’t always like that style of feeling like you’re starting all over agin) but once we dove into their past more it grew on me. It made their breakup more devastating bc they really had something.
The reason this book/series got a lower rating versus the first book in the series was because there was too much back and forth in the relationship. Someone wanted to be together than the other person didn’t, then they would swap. Then they would both be done, then they both wouldn’t be done… That over arching part of the plot was too repetitious. Also, this series dove into different/more taboo parts of bdsm that I didn’t find sexy.
**Warning: bdsm, kink, assault**
Worth the read?: YES
Reread?: NO

“Love is not enough.” The emotional maturity of both characters was refreshing, and the fact that their solution wasn’t a quick fix was all the more realistic. We felt each of their independent emotions and their magnetic synergy, and I also loved the humorous Christiana cameos. It took diverting from the convention, reassessing their priorities both individually and jointly, fighting assumptions, and submitting to each other to succeed. Beautiful novel, and I was in it all the way, the entire time.
recommended background music: “the color violet” (normal version for some parts, slow & reverb version for others)

I LOVE L. Dubois!
Miss L’s writing is absolutely incredible in the “Orchid” series!! This is the 2nd trilogy within the series and it’s just perfect! Solomon and Vivienne are soo perfect for each other and their love and attraction are so powerful. I love that we get to see into the past and better understand what went down that affects where they are presently. It was easy to see why neither of them could let go of the other. The best part about a second chance romance is that it is always so much sweeter the 2nd time.

Good, but Frustrating Too
This story is a well-written emotional journey of two people whose internal dysfunctions years them apart and what it takes for them to be truly together. I guess my problem is that it seems unrealistic that two intelligent people with self-insight take so long to actually communicate honestly, given that once you know the particulars of their break-up, it's fairly pedestrian.

This is a second-chance romance between Solomon and Vivienne with a lot of SPICY scenes
The 3 stories are short but together they make a good size book. I'd suggest reading them together because the first two books end on a cliffhanger.

Very good
I got the trilogy and was thrilled. I had read the first book before the second and third came out, but did not realize the series was completed. It is very good.

Kept you ingaged
Was a great story. It showed there is different kinds of love. Sometimes couples love has to go through difficulty.

Fantastic love story.
Lila is a great story teller. There were times I really felt sympathy for both Solomon and Vivi. I liked the ending.

I like this series and I’m going to be reading the next series about Paris and Solomon. It’s very heavy with lots and lots of sex, but the story line was interesting. BDSM in this book.

1. I am completely unable to identify with a man who enjoys hurting the woman he loves or a woman who enjoys that pain.
2. I didn't like the fact that Solomon claimed that he just "needed to be in control". He didn't need to be in control; he needed to hurt women. He wasn't a Dom; he was a sadist.
3. I don't like the humiliation of a man forcing a woman to crawl. Under ANY circumstances.
However, I was still able to enjoy this book. In the end, I found it sad that they had to go to such extremes to be together. Love shouldn't be that hard or that painful.
