Review (New Release): Cavalier by T. L. Smith
About the Book:
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 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.

My Thoughts:
Cavalier is the start to the new Crimson Elite Series by TL Smith. The plot was interesting enough to keep me turning the pages; a little dark and sexy. However, I found that the characters didn't have enough depth or backstory to make me feel as though I really knew who they were, how they got to where they are, and why. Both main characters' personalities were surface level and somewhat bland. There wasn't much that stood out to me that made me see what made Elicea 'different' or 'special' to Creed and vice versa. There was a great build up of sexual tension between them, and when they came together sparks flew, but emotionally speaking, I didn't feel the draw. I would not categorize this as a dark romance, but if you prefer romance novels with some dark undertones, you may enjoy this new series. Personally, it was just an alright read for me, and I don't feel compelled or anxious to read what may come next in the series.
