Lust (Elite Seven, #1)

This was an interesting start to THE ELITE SEVEN series. I'm not a fan of uber whores (paired with almost virginal heroines) and OW stuff in my books anymore. I think it has been done to DEATH at this point, so I can't say I overly enjoyed most of this one. However, I figured going into this series that none of the books would be free of that type of thing, so I can't complain too much. The writing was excellent. It is a relatively short book, so it moves along at a good pace. The plot was interesting in regards to the "secret club" aspect. I never warmed up to Rhett as a hero, or him and Chasity as a couple (although their banter was fun at times). There was just too much OW stuff thrown in for me to feel a connection and his cocky attitude didn't help either. I also feel like their relationship took a HUGE backseat to set up the series. I liked Chasity though. From the little we get of her she was a great heroine. The sex scenes (when we finally get to them) were suitably hot.



So yea, as a setup book for the series this worked exceptionally well. However, it completely missed the mark in the relationship department. There was just too much other stuff going on for me to feel like this couple had any real connection at all. Still, I am intrigued enough about the other six guys to continue with the series.
