OH ... MY ... GOODNESS. What kind of rabbit hole have I fallen into?! Ker Dukey had me hooked on the Elite Seven with LUST. With Pride up next in the line-up, I completely devoured it. But I swear, these people are completely twisted and a bit bat sh*t crazy, I however can't seem to turn my head away.

The deeper we go down the allure and mystery of the Elite Seven secrets are revealed, more questions begging to be answered, and so many moments that'll make you gasp. There's a few storylines happening at once and I just have to get down to the bottom of EVERYTHING.

I am so completely hooked on this series and Pride just adds to the enticement of this crazy, slightly messed up world they live in; The Elite Seven. I gotta be honest, the story behind the Elite Seven really carries this story and series, and I'm constantly wishing for a bit more of the romance or well a healthy balance of both. However I'm not going to look at everything with a magnifying glass ... let's not be ridiculous.

Pride is definitely a hot/steamy, taboo addition to this series. I really enjoy seeing the brotherhood becoming more solid, but there's still so much mystery behind them all. We'll definitely get their stories, but I'm just too impatient.

I'm usually not one for the teacher/student romance, but I sure did enjoy this one! Everything between Mason and Meghan is explosive and I definitely found myself needing a fan to cool off. They're off the charts and loved every bit of it.

For a first time read from J.D., I'm definitely looking forward to more of her books! I can't wait for book 3, Wrath.

Hmmm...this book (like book one) was a little bit of a mixed bag. I felt the romance in this one was a bit more developed but still took a backseat to Mason's background and the whole "Elite Seven" storyline. Which for me is the highlight of these books. I did like the fact that we didn't get too much OW stuff. The hero wasn't a manwhore. I didn't much care for the fact that this was an older woman/younger man story and the first sex scene was a little much. Mainly because it seemed SO over the top for two people that had JUST meet in a bar...but OK I went with it. (lol)



I think going forward I need to lower my expectations a bit regarding the "romances" and just sit back and enjoy the comradery between all the guys and the twists and turns that come from the whole "secret society" angle. That is definitely the best part of these books (so far).
