Daniela knows how to write a hot boy trilogy. I have read many high school bully romances in my time but boy did this one have me sweating. Also cliffhanger has got me saying WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE?!

I didn't get to read just one, nor two books - I was given THREE books each one better then the last. It was enemies to lover trope in full glory. I want more!

Thank you NetGalley and author Daniela Romero for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

"Never cross a Devil ... Sun Valley High is run by the Devils. It's not just their mascot, it's the crew of guys who are high school royalty. Wicked. Savage. Cruel.

When they target someone, no one stands in their way. And the three young women who find themselves in the Devils' path are about to find that out."

I love this book. I devoured it.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for giving me an advanced copy of this book. I absolutely loved this book. The main character in the 1st book was kinda annoying but she gets better. All the guys in these books are totally hotties. This was a very enjoyable experience and I want to read more from this author.

Wicked Savage Cruel is a fabulous high school romance collection. This Daniela Romero boxed set of books is gripping, emotional, and swoony. I loved every second of this book.
The stories are each amazing, with different couples for each story. But rest assures, that everything intertwines as the three guys are best friends.
I don't think I've read a book by this author that I don't love. The writing style always pulls me in, with an alternating first person pov, which is my favorite style. But the characters and the storylines keep me turning the pages as fast as I can. Omg, just read them. The ups and downs, the gut wrenching moments, the swoony moments, etc. I love it all.
Definitely check out the trigger warnings though.

These were really good, BUT, I don't understand why it ended in a cliffhanger. It was super irritating to get to the end and it wasn't THE END.

That being said, I liked the push and pull between Dom and Kasey, but I LOVED Emilio.

Great trilogy. Love the characters. The flow of the book was good and there were no flat spots to it. I like high school bully romances so this was right up my alley.

I really enjoyed this collection of books. I went into expecting the usual academic bully type stories but all of these are more than surface level stories. They delve into nitty gritty life scenarios and if you have any triggers definately check the warnings. I loved that they went deeper though and although it can be hard to read about these things it gave the stories more depth and made you delve into feelings a bit more. I would recommend these stories, I'll definately be reading the next part to Kasey and Dom's story.

Wicked Savage Cruel: Devils of Sun Valley High is a box set of three books - Wicked Devil, Savage Devil and Cruel Devil.

Wicked Devil is the story of Roman and Allie. Allie has lost her mother, found out her boyfriend has been cheating on her with her best friend, and has to move to live with her father, whom she has never really known. Life has completely turned on her and she can't seem to catch a break. Then she meets Roman, and the chemistry is off the charts. He is all alpha and she doesn't need a man to fix her life, but the two end up finding a balance.

Savage Devil is the story of Bibiana and Emilio. After one wild night of letting her hair down and be someone besides the good girl who does what she is told. One night comes with an expected surprise, and she's now the mom to a sweet baby boy. She transfers to Sun Valley High to finish her diploma and runs smack into her baby daddy. The two navigate co-parenting and their relationship, and the results are perfection.

Cruel Devil is the story of Dom and Kasey. This relationship is hinted at throughout the first two books, and I was so happy that book three was theirs! These two are the perfect example of enemies to lovers, and a thin line between love and hate. Dom is there for Kasey during one of the worst moments of her life. The two start to recognize their feelings for each other, but agree that keeping it a discreet is best for them, and her brother.

I loved this series. I tore through it in a couple of days, and want more of the Sun Valley Devils.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for an advanced eARC in exhange for an honest review.

Definitely a dark YA romance and for three books in one it manages to capture a whole slew of dark triggering themes, such as rape, teen pregnancy, drugs etc and whislt it is set in high school these teenagers are essentially adults, whether it be the experiences on page or their life as set out for the plot so it can be difficult to relate or believe these people are so young and dealing with so much.
The 'football gods' of this trio of books are portrayed as young men with more than just a mean streak but eventually we see their softer side.
Enjoyable enough to read but not a series that I would deem my favourite genre.

3 stars - Wicked
4 stars - Savage
3 stars Cruel

I received this as an ARC in exhcange for an honest review

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this arc. I really enjoyed this book. It combined three books into one. There was only one that I dragged a little but other than that sorry, I found this one great to read. It does have some dark themes and could be triggering for some readers.

All three of the stories were good, but Savage was my favorite because of the chemistry and humor between Mia and Jax as well as their emotional journey. In particular, the other Devils and their girlfriends brought fun and support to the main couples, which is why I really liked the supporting characters. The conflicts and resolutions felt a little hurried and convenient at times, and there were a few places where I would have like more nuance and complexity. That is the only thing I didn't enjoy. Overall though, I thought this was an entertaining and interesting read, and fans of bully romance and sports romance should definitely give it a try.

Who doesn’t love 3 books in 1 file? I loved each one of these. High school typically isn’t my thing, but I am happy to say that this felt more like a college read. Dom, the dark and brooding. Emilio, the funny guy who everyone likes (and wants). And Roman, the player who everyone wants. So many tropes, and the stories are fast paced (which I love). Dom was my favorite, but I love a fordbidden story.

Three popular jocks that own the school, three different life situations, three very different personalities - and each meets their match in strong willed females that take them by storm. All the expected obstacles, doubts, interference, emotions, and yes, serious heat that you want to see. Three full novels in one package so lots of reading hours here. Doesn't quite finish but not a huge cliffhanger.

This impeccably crafted collection of stories had me engrossed in its pages from beginning to end! Each tale revolves around a different couple, delivering an abundance of emotions, turmoil, and riveting drama. I adored every one of these pairings; each brought a unique essence to the narrative, treating my heartstrings to an intense workout! I wholeheartedly recommend you lay your hands on this compilation; its characters are sure to find a place in your heart and tug at it in the most delightful way!

Book #1: 'Wicked Devil'
Allie Ramirez's life is in the midst of a transformation she cannot halt. Following the loss of her mother, she's sent to live with a father she scarcely knows. To add to her troubles, she's just discovered that the boy she entrusted with her heart didn't protect it as promised; instead, he betrayed her with her best friend. Life seems to have dealt her an unfair hand, and she can't seem to catch a break. This sentiment becomes even more pronounced when she strolls through the halls of Sun Valley High and crosses paths with one of the school's finest, Roman Valdez!

Book #2: 'Savage Devil'
Bibiana only desired one wild night to break free from her usual responsible and good-girl persona, and her wish was granted. However, it came at an unexpected price: she now finds herself a loving mother to a nine-month-old baby boy. Returning to her prestigious academy becomes impossible, forcing her to attend Sun Valley public school to earn her diploma. She's apprehensive about the change, but nothing could have prepared her for the person she encounters on the first day: her child's father.

Book #3: 'Cruel Devil'
Dominique Price faces a dilemma: her name is Kasey Henderson, and she happens to be the younger sister of one of his teammates. Not only that, she's a forbidden temptation. He struggles to hide his disdain for her, yet deep down, he desires her like no one else. She's stunning, exasperating, and his heart beats only for her. However, pursuing her could jeopardize everything he holds dear!

I read these books separately last year so was excited to re read for this book.

I’m a big fan of interconnected books where we each couple has their own stories but you still get to keep in touch with your favourite couples.

As always the story telling from Daniela is excellent ,

All the stories are very well written, great character building you can real feel the love, hatred and sarcasm in some points screaming through the page
