Club Stigmata #2

You, Me, and the Crazy Ex

Rate this book
Emerson Henley wasn't afraid of love. She'd just never found a guy that sparked her interest beyond a night of bondage and play.

When a blind date organized by her younger sister goes awry, Emerson heads home and spots a sexy mystery man on the streetcar.

When the mystery man appears in Club Stigmata and chooses Emerson to play with, their chemistry is off the charts. Unfortunately, he also has a past he can't seem to shake.

I have been so excited for this release! After reading You, Me and Memories (Book One in club Stigmata series) I have been eagerly awaiting Ms. Luckett's next release and the moment I got it in my hands, I devoured within a couple of hours. It was a short novella that lacked for nothing. The author managed to weave her words and create a short but hot, steamy, spicy and addictive plot that grabbed my attention from chapter one.

I am a sucker for BDSM romance. When written well, it becomes my favorite tropes that I will never tire of and this series so far has proven to be one I just can't get enough of. I have already gone back to book one and re-read that a couple of times since its release and there's no doubt I will be doing the same with this little one.

In You, Me and the Crazy Ex is about Emerson a woman who lives a life of peace and lives more on the quiet side of life. and she is okay with that. But her sister continues to try and set her up on blind dates, which ultimately only end one way... But just like any human being, she needs a release too and Club Stigmata is just perfect for her but even though the dominant at the club has her interest, she can't seem to find any proper connection or spark, she can't find someone that ignites something inside her... But one day on the train she had a short encounter with someone by the same Denton and she can't seem to shake him, even with just a brief meeting there is something about this man that calls out to her on more than just one level and it is the last thing she ever expected to happen, especially with a stranger on a train but he doesn't stay a stranger for long.
But will this be a happily ever after for Emerson, or is there something or someone that will try and come between them?


The chemistry between Emerson and Denton was electric and addictive and hot. It was delicious as ever and had me consumed from the moment they met. The banter between the two of them was fun and it made it a REALLY enjoyable read. As I said before this book didn't lack anything and it was a short, intense, fun and hot read that I will go back and re-read again.

Just like her last book, her style flows flawlessly making it that much easier to fall into the plot she has created.

I was fortunate enough to get an early read of this novella, and just like the first, it sucked me in from the start. The Club Stigmata world Elle Luckett has created stole my heart from the first full length novel, The Favor. So much so that when she decided to release the follow on novella series, I was beyond excited.

These stories do NOT disappoint, and I wish everyone would pick them up. Elle Luckett’s writing style flows seamlessly, and it’s always such an effortless read.

Five out of five stars. If I could give it more—give the whole series more—I would.

There is nothing about this novella that I didn’t love. What a fabulous story You, Me, and the Crazy Ex is. I was hooked from the very first chapter and I didn’t ever want to reach the end.

Two incredible characters who I could see were made for each other and a crazy ex thrown in to make the story unpredictable was just my cup of tea. Emerson and Denton not only had the most perfect sexual relationship, their connection outside of Club Stigmata was wonderful to witness also. I was hoping that a long-term relationship would happen between them, but then they have a huge complication in the form of Denton’s ex to work through and control.

This book had it all. A great storyline, great characters and I loved being back at the club with those who we met in You, Me, and The Memories. I love that a BDSM community looks after their own and I am hoping to see more of all the characters that I am becoming increasingly acquainted with in the future. I am already looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

You, Me, and the Crazy Ex is a great addition to the Stigmata series! The chemistry between Denton and Emerson is fantastic! Once I started this novella, I found it difficult to put down. The story flowed so well and had elements of happiness, sadness, angst, you name it!

I love this series! Elle Luckett does a wonderful job bringing these characters to life and getting the reader fully absorbed into the storylines and invested with the characters. I cannot wait to see what is next!

You, Me and the Crazy Ex (YM&Cx throughout review) is a delicious, short and spicy read from Elle Luckett! YM&Cx is the second in the Club Stigmata series. You'll see the same characters but do not need to read the series in order to enjoy!

Emerson lives a quiet life when she's not being pushed into blind dates by her sister. Club Stigmata gives her a much needed release whenever needed. The Doms at the club intrigue her but no one sets her on fire like the delicious hot guy she had a brief encounter with on the train. It's the shock of a lifetime to see each other at the club, the best shock ever.

This couple was FIRE! Denton and Emerson had undeniable chemistry and I LOVED the way she stood up for her man against the crazy ex! Get her girl! Instalove-y but not so much that you don't have time to fall in love with the characters. Awesome new addition to the Club Stigmata series!

First time read from this author & I really enjoyed it. This novella is perfect for a short steamy read.
Emerson is tired of her sister setting her up blind dates. She doesn’t want to go on blind dates but what she can’t tell her sister is that her weekends are spent at Club Stigmata a bdsm club where Emerson is a submissive.
Whilst on her way home from another blind date Emerson meets a mystery man who exudes dominance. And she can’t stop thinking about him.
Whilst at the club the next day she’s asked to try something new & the D is no other than the man she’s been thinking off nonstop.
Denton is a dominant who is drawn to Emerson’s submissive side.
The chemistry is intense and the pair are immediately drawn to each other.
But as the title states Denton has a crazy ex.
Can these two survive Denton’s crazy ex who is determined to pull them apart?
I received an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

You, Me, and the Crazy Ex was absolutely fantastic! What a fantastic novella! Elle Luckett hooked me from page one and I could not put this down!

Emerson and Denton have the absolute best banter. They had a sexual chemistry off the charts and are just absolutely made for one another. I loved how the ex was involved in this story too. It made for some interesting reading!

Fantastic story, fantastic characters, and a great storyline with fantastic world building. This addition to Club Stigmata had it all! You, Me, and The Memories which is book one in the series is a must read and you'll meet some of the characters from this story in that one.

I can't wait for what's next!

You, Me and the Crazy Ex
A Club Stigmata Novella
By Elle Luckett

A hot little read about two consenting adults finding more that a hot night at Club Stigmata.

“He read my body language with every touch and taste of my flesh. He read every reaction to every word he uttered and was feeding on that like a starving man. He was using all of this to his advantage, and he left me wanting more.”

When Emerson goes to work, she isn’t expecting a night of play with a new Dom. When she realizes she’s seen this mystery man once before, she cannot compete with all the new feelings and drama that comes along. When Denton first sees Emerson on the streetcar, he cannot believe the spark between the two of them. When Denton enters Club Stigmata, he is shocked to learn that he can have Emerson as a sub. Taking a chance, these two enter a world of lust and trust.

“That was it for me. With the connection between us now made physical, all of my conscious thought escaped with the crashing plates that fell from the surface of his table.”

Elle takes us into a world of sex, trust and possibilities in her Club Stigmata books. You, Me and the Crazy Ex introduces us to some new characters, and allows us to catch up with some old ones. This novella is filled with so much sexual tension, you will not be able to put this book down!

“I could feel the truth of the words running through me now I was being made to step back and look at what I was doing through someone else's eyes.”

Elle Luckett made me a very happy woman with the second book in the Club Stigmata series. You, Me, and the Crazy Ex was CRAZY GOOD! This is Denton Strake and Emerson Henley’s story.

Emerson meets Denton at Club Stigmata after she is introduced to him by the club owners.
Denton has the crazy ex. I don’t want to say more because I don’t want to give away the story. It was also nice to see some of the main characters from You, Me, and the Memories.

Elle Luckett really knows how to write about her Alpha men and submissive women! As I said earlier You, Me, Crazy Ex is Crazy Good!!! If you love super sexy stories then this is the book for you!

What can I say Elle truly knows how to grab your attention from the word go, You, Me and the Crazy Ex is the follow up novella to You, Me and the Memories and it doesn’t disappoint. Emerson and Denton have blazing hot chemistry and it shows in this novella, being back in the Club Stigmata world also give us a sneak peak at other beloved characters. A quick spicy read that will leave you desperate for more!!

This is the first book I have read by the author and I look forward to reading more. Emerson is a woman who knows who she is and what she wants. However, her sister has some other ideas and is constantly setting her up on blind dates that do not pan out. Thank goodness for Club Stigmata where Emerson can get what she needs but has yet to find the right dom for her. A chance meeting puts Emerson in the sights of a very handsome man, Denton, that she is unable to forget and is soon to become so much more than a fantasy. The chemistry between Emerson and Denton is explosive but there is a fly in the ointment that may hinder a relationship between these two. Is Denton willing to fight for what he wants or will he settle for less than he deserves? Can Emerson chase away the demon that has her claws in Denton to get her happily ever after? This is one well written storyline filled with wit and steam. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.

Carrying on with our Club Stigmata characters this time, we get the fab Emerson and Denton.
Now i thought i loved Tristan in book one, but then along strolls Denton and whips me off my feet!
I fell for him just as hard as Emerson did, lol
These guys were just fire and flames all over the place and deserved their happiness.
You know a character is written well when you wanna throat punch them, and thats exactly how Dentons' ex-wife made me feel!!
Loved the relationship between Emerson and her parents/sister too, just beautiful!
If you want drama, fun, steaminess, all rolled into one read then this series is for you!

This is book 2 in the Club Stigmata novellas and every bit as good as the first, it was entertaining from the first page till the end, there is the right amount of vanilla and BDSM with a great storyline.

Emerson and Denton had the perfect relationship in and out of the club Stigmata, they were meant for each other, then throw in a crazy ex and you fight for what you want.

I hope there are a lot more in this series, I am off to get number 3 now, I just can't put these books down, well done Elle on another fantastic book!
