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.
BOOK 1 (CAVALIER)
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 icy heart and trying to melt it, set it alight with each touch of her sinful lips. But that can’t work, it won’t work. Not in my world.
BOOK 2 (ANGUISHED)
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.
USA Today Best Selling Author T.L. Smith loves to write her characters with flaws so beautiful and dark that you can’t turn away from. Her books have been translated into several languages. If you don’t find her in her home town of Queensland, Australia you can usually find her travelling around the world to sitting on a beach in Bali, to exploring Alcatraz in San Francisco or walking the streets of New York.
Both books introduce us to a new dark world created by our queen of the dark. T. L. Smith again created a magical world that will suck you right in. The Crimson Elite Club lead by men with charisma you can't simply escape. Be warned: Entering at your own risk.
Taking a chance on Cavalier you must be prepared for a pageturner that won't let you sleep. It will drive you sheer crazy: Drama, darkness alpha males, sassy women and a unique storyline. Even after turning the last page, it will leave you craving for more.
Reading Anguished is like hitting the perfect wave. The one that you waited for like a dream. The one you need to let yourself fall for, letting yourself get carried away without thinking too much. Enjoying the splashes of water in your face when the wave breaks and just live in the moment.
This was a book that I knew that I had to read. T.L. Smith does dark books like not other and this one had my interest from the first time she posted anything about it. This book will suck you in from the very first word and you won't be able to put it down until you finish. Creed is a super complicated character. He is going to give you whiplash several times. He will have you swooning and then you will want to smack him up the side of his head. Getting to know all about Creed is the highlight of your reading experience in Cavalier. Elicia is a woman who takes no prisoners. She is touch and takes no crap. She is a woman who is not afraid to stand up for herself and that includes even when Creed makes her lose her mind. She is certainly a character that stays true to herself and that was one of my favorite qualities of Elicia. These two will have your kindle at overheating and you will not be able to put this book down. I am not going to tell you about the story, except to say that it is one that you must read and it will have you reading as fast as you can. It is best experienced with as little as you can know about it.
Anguished
Anguished is book two in the Crimson Elite. I recommend reading the first book also as the characters from past books are in each book since this series follows four friends. Creed, Echo, Darby and Falcon. However I feel like you could read this story without reading the first book which was about Creed. If you do decide to start with this one then you might have a spoiler for the first book. Anguished is the story of Echo and Storm and what a story they do have to tell. As you know these four guys are like brothers and pretty much each others family. To say that Echo doesn't get along with his family is a understatment. You will want to smack his parents up the side of the head a time or twenty. They have the most amazing son right in front of them and seem like they could care less. Heck they do not even know that he is hard working and very successful. However past events have caused him not to be so much of a hard worker and his brothers picking up his pieces as she lives in the bottom of a bottle mourning the loss of his logtime girlfriend and then finding out his one and only blood borther is marrying her. He just needs to forget her and when he sees Storm across a crowded bar he knows that she can help him with that. What he didn't expect is for it to be the best night of his life. Now he has propostion for Storm and if she accepts everything will be easy breezy and things will be fine. This too is ok with Storm as she is career driven and new to town and hasn't had time to make many friends. Heck a girl needs to left off some steam too!! This book is smoking hot and will have you reading as fast as you can. I loved every second of it and devoured it. I am so in love with Echo and S torm . They are such amazing characters and there is never a dull moment with them. I loved hating the ex and I have to tell you when she is trying to get to Storm that Storm is such a strong woman she has the best lines and combacks and doesn't let it really bother her. Or does she? Your going to have to read and find out. I am so excited for the next book. I'm not really sure if it is about Darby or not but he is such a mystery to me I can not wait to find out more about him.
Cavalier What a fantastic start to this new series. If you are new to TL Smith or like me, a huge fan, then this book will be a MUST READ. This book will peak you interest, curiosity, and captivate you with Crimson Elite!
This book features around the owners of the most exclusive and elusive sex club, Crimson Elite. What i did like about this new series is that TL Smith didn't focus on the sex at this club, as there are a lot of books based on sex clubs, but she made it central around the characters, the 4 sexy as sin, owners. Secrecy is the key to this club. You must not reveal the club, its a secret that can affect your life if you reveal it.
Creed is the one of the owners and he is one of the more silent of the 4. He's the strong, brooding, silent type that is in charge of recruiting the girls at the club. He did frustrate me occasionally but purely as he was being a stupid stubborn male! he really needed the right woman to challenge him.
Elicea (I love her name!!) is just trying to survive, get her bills paid, and keep her job by not losing her temper too much. When she meets Creed its when she stands her ground with a handsy customer. Creed is drawn to her and invites her to the club for a new job behind the bar.
If you want hearts and flowers, then this isn't the one for you but you will want to swoon in parts and the chemistry between Creed and Elicea will steam your kindle up!!
I loved the other Characters in the book and i'm seriously intrigued over their stories for the rest of the series. These men are so mysterious, intriguing and seriously hot.
Anguished 4.5 delicious stars....
After reading Cavalier I wasn't sure anyone could beat my love for Creed but Echo surpassed my expectations and well...……..I love hime <3<3<3
These sexy AF men, The Crimson Elite is a great package of dysfunctional hotness that will draw you in and make you crave them.
Echo peaked my curiosity in the first book, he was guarded and I wanted to know his story. Well tbh I want to know ALL their stories and I have a feeling they are going to go out of their way to one-up each other. Echo is hot AF, charming and has one hell of a dirty mouth that will leave you needing new panties. He was more than a ten, trust me, Mel. Men like him aren't made, they're dreamt about
Soon as Echo and Storm meet there chemistry between then is combustible and instant. Both of them want nothing more then a one-night stand. They both have been burnt badly in past relationships and want to protect their hearts. When she unwittingly drops her ID she gives Echo a way to find her and he wants more of her.
Oh I loved Storm, she was the perfect person to challenge Echo. She is a feisty redhead and has no problems putting Echo in his place. I so loved how she had Echo's back with his family and his ex, even when they were not together. Personally I would have liked her to slap his ex around just a bit lol.
I can't wait to see what TL Smith brings us next in this series. I wonder at the end which of these 4 guys will end up being my favourite.
Another great start to a new series by an author who always gives the reader something different. Although we meet four broody sexy alphas this book focuses on Creed and the woman who gets under his skin. I love when authors write strong resourceful independent women and Elicea is all that and more. A story that is dark and delicious and also crazy hot. Can't wait to get the other men's books I'm intrigued by all of them.

ReviewBook two in the series and it just keeps getting better. I adored Echo and Selena's story. It was witty and fast paced with an addictive storyline with enough sexual heat to set the pages on fire. I love how the author made Selena such a strong character, she's a successful career woman. An independent woman who knows her own worth and isn't afraid to go for what she wants or to step back from something that isn't good for her. Echo was a surprise purely because I didn't expect him to be so vulnerable whilst still retaining his more dominant side.
A sizzling series that set me alight. I loved how the story spoke to me. Arousing and mesmerising thoughts whispering around my imagination. This series was thought evoking and provocative. A sensual delight that titillated the senses and left me reeling at its brash beauty. 5 stars
I simply do not understand all the great reviews on this boxed set. In the first book, Creed hires Elicea to be a bartender at his sex club. He acts all jealous and possessive of her when his friends hit on her. Then, after they sleep together, he tells her that he wants to her to be one of the sex girls at his club!!! She slaps his face and leaves, then goes to his house the next day to give him a piece of her mind where she proceeds to sleep with him again!!!
When she wakes up and goes looking for him, she finds him in the basement covered in blood torturing a man, cutting off his fingers and pulling out his teeth. Then, he takes her home to meet his mother???
Seriously? Exactly WHAT about any of this is romantic???
I wanted to give it zero stars but I wasn't sure if it would show up in the book data graph.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
At an exclusive club called Crimson Elite we meet four super gorgeous men who own and run this establishment and who are very intriguing characters. In this volume we find out about Creed and Echo...
Cavalier (Book 1) Oh so dark and deliciously hot! This describes the story and Creed! This is a little reminiscent of the Bratva Boys..another sensational lot of hot guys written about by this author.
I have to admit Creed did annoy me at times however I think that was the intention of the author. His arrogance and cool attitude were attractive on the one hand but irritating on the other. For me Elicea’s character was instantly likeable and easy to relate to, with her basic needs laid out bare. I enjoyed her strength of character too and willingness to stand up to Creed. I love this thought she has about Creed’s mother- “...she is the sweetest woman I’ve ever met. How she created him, I’m not really sure.” 😂😂 Sums it up really!
This book is easy to read due to it’s fast pace and solid storyline but it’s more. Creed is such a fascinating character and there is an element of darkness that compels you to read, just to see if there is any light!
Anguished (Book 2) To be totally honest after being introduced to Echo in Cavalier, I wasn’t all that sure I liked him that much. I didn’t dislike him, however, he didn’t seem to be a character with a lot of backbone to me. Oh how wrong was I which I am so glad to say.
Echo is at times quite a complicated character yet at other times we see he’s not. You honestly can’t help but like him pretty much immediately in this story and feel sorry for him after everything he’s been through and continues to go through with that family of his, boy what a family. See, I really misinterpreted his character in book one entirely! Storm is such a strong character, I liked her and could relate to her very easily.Echo was so right when he said she has a ‘sharp personality’.
The way this author uses words to describe scenes, especially intimate ones, is almost indescribable. The sentences themselves flow so well together that they are not only emotive but also memorable. They aren’t necessarily fancy words or exceptionally long sentences but they are masterfully pieced together to create vivid images.
Although there are some deeper, more intense issues explored in the story, there is also a good dose of humour. Whether it’s sarcastic wit between the four partners or fun banter between other characters, it is a light relief that makes you smile.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by author)...
I absolutely loved this book!! We have four broody very sexy men with their interesting and twisted job specialties. I loved Creed, aka Mr Cavalier, even when he did terrible stuff I still couldn’t help but love him. El was one tough cookie, she endured such a tragic pain in her past but didn’t let it stop her.
I don’t want to reveal too much because I loved the entire book from beginning to end; I was so sad when it finished. But on a happier note each guy is getting his own book and I can’t wait to see who is next ;)
Anguished - 5 stars
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by author)...
This book is just ...OMG!
I felt so bad for Echo when we first met him in Cavalier, but now we get to know the whole story; Echo’s family were a bunch of buttmoles. I did not like Selena at all and I was surprised that Echo couldn’t see her true colors. Now as for Storm, I loved loved loved Storm she was so bada**, she knew what she was worth and what she wanted. Echo and Storm start off as a very hot friends with benefits relationship, but things start to change, unfortunately, not for the best at first.
Echo and Storm were perfect for each other, but that doesn’t mean Echo doesn’t make a few mistakes. Storm being Storm, wasn’t going to let his actions go without consequence. I just loved this book and I didn’t want it to end.
I would love to know what is Darby’s story and what lies ahead for Falcon.
Also I would have liked to know what happens between Mike and Selena.
This is a fantastic series about the owners of the most exclusive sex club, and comprises of two novels as follows: - #1 Cavalier This is the first book in a new series from this talented author, and what a fantastic introduction it is. Creed is one of the sexy, mysteries, and ruthless businessmen who are owners if the most exclusive sex club in the word. Elicea is a feisty and strong woman, and from the moment she meets Creed, the chemistry is explosive. This is an amazing story with such attention to detail with the plot, that I was totally captivated throughout this intense and addictive page turner. #2 Anguished This is the second book in this phenomenal series and is Storm and Echo’s story. From previously meeting Echo I knew that he had a story to tell and what a story it is. With an ex who is a real piece of work, he is left broken and vulnerable. When he meets Storm in a club there is an instant attraction between them, however she has her own demons to live with. I loved the witty banter between these characters as well as secondary characters. This is a well written flawless story, which is emotional, humorous, and entertaining which had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. I highly recommend this talented authors’ work for all.
Creed has walls up so high his friends barely see any emotion from him, but spitfire who doesn’t take his shit is about to change all of that and so much more. Elicea is a down on her luck former waitress who Creed hires as the new bartender to work at his exclusive club Crimson Elite. Now all they have to do is try to stay away from each other, even if they want nothing more then to loose themselves in the other.
TL Smith is a new to me author, and I am seriously hooked. This story is so so hot 🔥🔥🔥. I loved both Creed and Elicea, as well as the other 3 owners of the club.
Echo has not had great luck with relationships, especially considering his one and only left him for his brother. In an attempt to get over his ex, Echo hooks up with a stunning redhead one night, but one night just won’t be enough. How long can a relationship of sex when needed last without feelings getting involved? And will Echo ever get over his ex?
This is another great story, I love both Echo and Storm and the growth that both went through to get to the end was so well written. Again, this book is absolutely on fire with the connection between the two. Such a wonderful book!
Crimson Elite by T.L. Smith - a deliciously captivating series of alpha men and strong women. And having the first two books from the series in one boxset is perfect. Even more perfect is that cover!!
CAVALIER - BOOK 1 Creed Christopher and Elicea Beckham have a chemistry that neither one thought possible. An uncertainty about what will happen in their future but enough sexual tension that keeps them coming back to each other. It's that chemistry that makes Cavalier a must read for any reader that loves strong alpha men and even stronger female characters.
ANGUISHED - BOOK 2 Oh my holy hotness, I loved Echo and Storm. Echo and Storm are both fiery characters who dont hold back. They are a perfect match. Their chemistry was evident from their first meeting. I was rooting for them all the way through. With a good mix of lust, drama and betrayal, Anguished is a story that I would definitely recommend reading.
I'm in love with this series! Yes its about an Elite Sex Club but it's not about what goes on IN the club, it's about the 4 men who OWN the club.
This boxset is about Creed and Echo and damn, I am in love with those guys!! And as for the leading ladies Elicia and Storm...damn, I wanna be them!! I love that there's a proper connection between the characters, it's not an insta-love where they jump straight in, something bad happens, they make up and live happily ever after!...No! T.L. Smith knows how to pull you in, these couples become actual people, you learn about each person individually, you fall in love with each person and when certain things happen, you feel it all, right down to your bones! I loved the storyline, I loved the characters, I loved their wit and their personalities, I loved that it's not straight forward for them, that they have to work for what they want....I loved it all!!!!
An excellent sexy story that I definitely recommend!
Loved it! With this purchase I received both "Cavalier," which was Creed and Alecia's story, as well as "Anguished," which was Echo and Storm story. Creed and Echo, along with their business partners Falcon and Darby own the Crimson Elite. As the name entails, this club is for the elite. The anonymity of its clients is upheld with the strictest of requirements, that its patrons never divulge any information about it. Enforcement is often taken to the extreme, but with politicians, film stars and the like as clients, that's the only way to keep the business running. These hardcore friends and family by choice. Their hearts are the only thing harder than their smoking hot bodies and good looks. It takes someone special to turn their heads.
I can't wait to read book 3 and see if it's Falcon or Darby's story next!
Wow! I loved this book filled with suspense action, steamy sexual tension that is off the charts, well deserving of 5stars. This has it all. Fear uncertainly sexual chemistry, lost love loss, and such a captivating series that proves that this author delivers it all. Creed - Christopher is one cold chilling and scary and intimidating just being in his presence. Book 2 in the Crimson Elite Series follows Echo who is one of the owners along with Creed Falcon and Darby. 4 strong stubborn characters. ECHO struggles to comprehend that the wowan he believed he loved left him for his twin brother Mike. His Crimson brothers as always has his back, as his family has never had his back. Storm is a strong independent financial wowan who is looking for some fun with no strings attached.
Both stories are based around the crimson elite, a secret and bespoke club catering only for exclusive clients and their one rule don't talk about it or you will loose your life.
First story barmaid meets Mr closed off. Nice romance which moved at a fast pace. People get involved, people get misunderstood, people fall in love.
Second story, rejected and dejected boy meets highly successful girl. They come to an arrangement and their budding romance begins, only the boys past resurfaces and things take a nasty turn.
Both stories are well written with good characters and dialogue and simple and engaging storylines. A real pleasure to read. Well worth a look if you love alpha males and sassy females.
Crimson Elite is a secret sex club that nobody is allowed to discuss. Elicea is drawn into Creed’s world and the attraction is there. The only problem is Creed doesn’t do relationships, will she change him? Will he allow it?
Anguished
Echo has to watch his ex girlfriend and his brother be together. He feels like his family abandoned him. One night while out at the bar with friends he sees Storm and feels an instant attraction. They both claim to only want fun but can they really ignore their feelings? Can Storm let him in after her horrible ex? Can Echo realize every woman isn’t his ex?
Four hot, rich successful men who own a private club. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that? Creed is detached, cold, no feelings, but the right one brings out all the warm in him. Echo, the one who craves to be loved, falling for and holding on to the wrong one. Can't wait to get more on the others.
This is one hot read.This group of guys are hot and the women they chose know just how to handle them.Come and take the leap for yourself, but watch out for your Kindle it might catch on fire.
