Ariel
I would like to say we were old lovers. That once upon a time he was my everything, and I was his, but that would be a lie. He may have been mine, but I wasn’t his. I was his sister’s annoying little friend who he didn’t even know was in love with him.
 
Years later, after seeing him again for the first time, nothing has changed. Except now he notices me, and I will do everything in my power to avoid him. Because Falcon is the most conceited man on this planet, and because when he looks at me with steel eyes, my heart still misses a beat.
 
Falcon
I get what I want, and I’m never denied anything either. It’s my charm. It’s hard to say no to something you never knew you desired until I’m standing in front of you. That’s not just who I am, it’s what I do. I help men achieve everything they have ever wanted.
 
Most people would go to great lengths to be near me. Yet, my sweet Ariel, I can’t even get her to stay in the same room as me. Maybe it’s because I told her I would be the best lay of her life—that has to be it—and once I’m finished with her, she’s avoiding being disappointed by every other man for the rest of her life.
 
It couldn’t possibly be anything else, because let’s face it, I’m perfect.

Conceited is the third book in the Crimson Elite series written by author TL Smith. Crimson Elite is a sex club which was created by four best friends, Creed, Echo, Darby, and Falcon. Each book in this series focuses on a different character. Therefore you can read each book as a standalone romance. Although I do recommend starting at the beginning. I believe it will help you understand the backstories as well as the dynamics between the four men. Just know that it’s not mandatory.

In this story, Ariel has been in love with Falcon, who is her best friend’s brother. Ever since Falcon turned her down, Ariel has been avoiding him. When Falcon sees Ariel several years later, she is all that Falcon can think about. Too bad she doesn’t want anything to do with him. Her only goal now is to find out more information about a secret club. Ariel believes it could help her land on the front page of the newspaper.

Crimson Elite is such a highly secretive club, and anyone that gets too close will be dealt with. What will Falcon do when Ariel gets a little too close to discovered their secret?

Welcome to Crimson Elite, the most exclusive sex club in the world.
Enter at your own risk, and always remember our number one rule—
You must never speak of Crimson Elite—the punishment is severe.
Creed ‘Too Hot For Words’ Christopher
If God created the perfect man he would closely resemble Creed, on the outside that is.
He’s as cavalier as they come. Unconcerned. Cold. Dismissive. I wonder if he has any feelings at all.
And when his lips touch mine, everything goes black. He takes me into his world, and it’s the most magical thing I’ve ever experienced.
And I’m sucked in time and time again.
Like a moth to the flame, I am ready to be set alight.
Elicea ‘F*cks With My Head’ Beckham
Elicea is a firecracker. She has piqued my interest, and no one piques my interest anymore.
Beautiful women are what I do—it’s my work.
Not one of them has managed to get their claws into me the way she does. It’s as if she’s seeing my ice heart and trying to set it alight with each touch of her sinful lips.
But that can’t work, it won’t work.
Not in my world.

Wow!

Another fabulous story from author TL Smith!

Cavalier is the first book in a new series called Crimson Elite. Creed and his buddies Echo, Darby, and Falcon all co-own a highly secretive sex club called Crimson Elite.  Unlike other books that center around sex clubs, Cavalier focuses more on the characters and less on the sex acts within the club.  Now, I’m not saying this book doesn’t have any steamy scenes, because it does! Very steamy ones!

Cavalier tells the story of Elicea who works as a waitress with her best friend, Tracey.  After an incident with a customer, Elicea quits in the middle of her shift. Creed, one of the elite patrons, follows here out and offers her a job at his club.  She soon finds out that she’ll be working at the elusive club Crimson Elite.  This club has many rules, but the most important one is that no one can talk about Crimson Elite… or else.

Cavalier has a character-rich storyline, and I just couldn’t get enough of Creed and his buddies. The chemistry between Creed and Elicea is explosive, and I was mesmerized by this unique and gripping story.

Can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Genre: Romance (standalone)
Release Date: February 19, 2019
Cover Design: RBA Designs

It wasn’t meant to be this way—she shouldn’t have fallen for my brother and left me for him. But she did. And now I’m left to pick up the pieces of my shattered, broken heart. And to top it off, they want me to come to their wedding. Do they think I’m a pushover? Do they think of me as a joke?

The old saying stands true, ‘why have enemies when you can have family.’
I understand it now, better than I ever have in my life.
There’s one unexpected surprise though, Storm. She blew in just like one and makes the pain diminish. She’s exactly as her name describes her—she is a storm. A beautiful and powerful one.
But not all things are meant to last. Like a storm that wreaks havoc, some things cause anguish, and in my life she may very well be one of them.

I love this series!

Crimson Elite is a sex club owned by four best friends, Creed, Echo, Darby, and Falcon.  The books can be read as standalone romances, although I do recommend reading them in order. Cavalier is the first book, which tells Creed’s story. I believe by starting at the beginning of the series, it will help you understand the backstories better and give you a better foundation.  Anguished is the second book in the series, which tells us Echo’s story.  I really love all the guys, but Echo is my new book boyfriend!

The story starts off with Echo’s heart being broken, and on top of that, he has a whole lot of family drama. Echo’s buddies, Darby and Falcon, take him out to de-stress and maybe meet some girls.  It is there that he meets Storm and she just rocks his world.  Soon, he begins to question his feelings and takes a good look at his life.  Will Echo realizes too late who his forever ten is before he loses her?

Absolutely freaking loved this book and can’t wait for the next in the series!
