Room Fifteen: Tied Up with the Dark

by Elyse Kelly

Dark, mysterious, and lethal…

That’s how most people describe the three men in my bed. Cold-blooded assassins who kill men they deem unfit for society.

And yet, to me, they’re my salvation. Rescuing me from a gilded cage and a doomed life with a sinister man.

I asked them for a simple favor: two birds for one stone.

What they demanded in return was something far more profound, something that would indefinitely tether the four of us with an unbreakable bond.

My fate was sealed in Room Fifteen. 

And I will forever be theirs.

Room Fifteen: Tied Up With the Dark is an ultra steamy, slightly darker Why Choose romance. It's a complete standalone with a HEA, but please read the Author's Notes before you proceed.

This was an amazing, heart pounding, mafia, RH romance. Lexi was a mafia princess being forced into an arranged marriage. When she discovered her fiancé and father were trafficking women she was determined to stop them! She goes to club sin to make contact with the ‘reapers’ to help her. Tristan, Miles and Liam were looking for one woman to share their lives. They enjoyed club sin together but had never found her. When Lexi walked in they knew she was the one the second they set eyes on her. Hot, steamy story with danger, kidnapping, suspense, hot and steamy scenes, amazing chemistry and a wonderful HEA. The story was spoiled for me by the sex scenes on page between the hero’s and other women. They was no cheating as it was before they met the heroine but I don’t enjoy those scenes between the hero or heroine with others. It ruined an amazing 5 star story for me.

this was a quick, fast paced, mafia, touch her and you die why choose.

Lexi is desperate to escape her father one of the towns biggest mob bosses and the evil man he is trying to marry her off. Enter the reapers… Liam, Miles and Tristan are vigilante assassins.

Lexi over hears her father preparing for a shipment of women that he is planning to sell that the reapers are hoping to intervene on and decides follow her father to investigate. The reapers arrive and Lexi over hears where she can find them.. club sin. Lexi decides this is her opportunity to escape her evil father and future husband by hiring the reapers to kill them.

No one expected that at first glance mile, Liam and Tristan would want to claim Lexi as theirs.

This book is fast paced and had me whipping through this with the plot, the mystery/suspense, and the spice😮‍💨😮‍💨

If you’re looking for a fast paced RH. This is your book.

I have a read a couple of the other Club Sin Chicago books, but Holy Crap does this one take the cake!

Lexi, desperate to escape her father and the arranged marriage he has planned, has sought out the help of the Reapers, local vigilantes bound to right wrongs that justice can not. However, in order to gain their trust she must first completely give herself over to the guys in Room 15 of Club Sin.

Elyse, Can I please get my own Tristan??? RH, Touch Her and Die Vibes, Mafia, Shibari, and HEA! In all honesty though, all three of these men, Miles, Liam, and Tristan, were perfect in their own way and why should you choose when Lexi can clearly have them all. Truly this book is 🤌🏼💋

This was a great reverse harem romance. It was set in a mafia world and had a lot of action going on. The author also included a trigger warning which could definitely be beneficial for some readers to adhere by. I don’t have that many triggers so I just dived right in. Lexi and her men had a strong connection and I loved that the men had a really strong bond that was purely emotional not physical. It was a great read.

This is an excellent story from the Club Sin series. When Lexi shows up at Club Sin it’s because she has tracked down the Reapers. Three men, Tristan, Miles and Liam dole out the justice for those who do not deserve to live. Lexi wants to hire them to kill her human trafficking father and his partner who happens to be her fiancé. They are very bad men and deserve to die. But at the club Lexi discovers her attraction to these men and she is really into their kinks. This is a very good story with a young woman finding herself with three men who can give her everything she needs and give her the freedom from the men who want to control her. Excellent read.

“Room Fifteen” by Elyse Kelly was deliciously dark and steamy read that I couldn’t help but devour. Lexi was such a brave, confident heroine, and I loved that about her. As for her men, Tristan, Liam, and Miles, I loved that each one had his own distinct personality, but all three would do anything for Lexi. Even though this was a shorter read, it didn’t feel rushed. I would definitely recommend!!!

ARC Review of Room 15 by Elyse Kelly
* * * * *
A deadly deal gone steamy! Action packed in and out of the bed, with a little bondage play to tie you up!

Lexi was trapped, having very little time left to have freedom before her arranged marriage to a horrid man is finalised.
A prisoner in her home with a father who cared nothing for her.
Constantly watched by her bodyguard.
A fiance who shows up as he pleases.
It takes one night filled with bullets for three men to be her idea to salvation, and where can she find them?
Club Sin.
Tristan, Liam and Miles want the raven haired beauty the second they see her. When she comes to them with a need for their killer services, an arrangement is made...and signed with pleasure.
The clock is ticking, her bodyguard is getting suspicious, and she is falling for ber Reapers. Lexi is playing a dangerous game, and the consequences are deadly.
But her men will be there for her, guns blazing and ready to take their woman.

Loving the bondage and sizzling chemistry. Liked how you got a bit from Miles and his connection to Lexi when she cared for him. The feels!

Lexi has been promised to Vincent who’s as old as her Dad and a slime ball so her Dad can advance in the Mafia . When she finds out that the Reapers are supposed to turn up at a meeting her fathers attending she follows him and watches . When she hears the reapers talking about where they are going she makes plans to go to Club Sin and ask for their help. I really enjoy the Club Sin series and loved Lexi and her guys .

[AshReads · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved it. The story had me hooked from page 1. I couldn’t stop reading. You will like this book if you like why-choose romances in a club of SIN.

Room Fifteen is a steamy,dark,reverse harem HEA. Alessandra "Lexi" just wants to be free. Not a pawn in her father's game for power. Alessandra walks into Club Sin determined to make her life her own once and for all. She's there for the "Reapers" Tristan, Liam and Miles. But the moment they touch Alessandra she is theirs forever.
Holy HOT! Definitely a steamy, kinky read. I LOVED it!! Elyse you wrote a perfect mix of dark,steamy kink and love.

Desperate to escape the arranged marriage her crime lord father has planned for her to one of his associates, Lexi (h) turns to three assassins, Tristan (H), Liam (H), and Miles (H). She makes her way to Club Sin, a BDSM adult club, to ask for their assistance and ends up joining them in Room Fifteen. Ultra-hot and steamy sexy action, including power play, degradation, rough sex, Shibari and more. The story also includes violence, trafficking, abuse/assault.

Lexi is the daughter of a crime boss. He's forcing her marry Vincent Rossi, a man she hates. Vincent is a nasty piece of work, older and evil. When she finds out the Reapers are planning on attacking, she plans to find them and ask them to kill her father and forced intended. She just found out they were trafficking women, and she wants to help save those women. When she gets there, she sees the Reapers save the women and hear them mention Club Sin.
Tristan is the leader of the 3, having collared Liam and Miles. It's a running joke between them because they are all Doms. It takes her two weeks, but Lexi gets into Club Sin. Master Shane asks Liam to show her how things work. But she's there for a different reason. And Tristan already knows who she is. And he doesn't want to get involved because he knows she's special. Will she be able to convince them?

There were a couple of things I didn't like, but I enjoyed the book. I'm not a fan of degradation. But that's a me thing. I'm glad she got what she needed, but what happened to her father's business and house?

[Michelle Mastandrea · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy hotness! Elyse certainly didn’t hold back with this delicious quickie of a story. Room Fifteen was everything dark, dangerous, dirty, sinfully decadent and I was so HERE FOR IT!

The Reapers Tristan, Liam, and Miles are mouth-watering hot protective alpha types that will
fulfill every sinful and dirty carnal desire you could possibly dream up! Controlling, dominate, possessive, these dark vigilante knights will set your heart ablaze as they stop at nothing to protect their newfound Angel Lexi from the impending danger she faces.

With it's dark mafia vibes, scorching hot scenes, action, and suspense Elyse delivered everything I crave in a dark romance. I eagerly devoured this RH story and loved every sinfully hot moment of it!

[Ellie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another new addition to the Club Sin Chicago series! I love that this "session" is so incredibly different, I liked that this was mafia (I'm a sucker for mafia romance). This story is jam packed with action, drama, a different plot and some 🌶. Lexi our FMC is the daughter of a mafia boss who is using his daughter to gain a better position in the mafia. The man is a sleazy associate and she wants nothing to do with him or her father.

In her mission to get away from her father, Lexi goes to three a$$assins known as the Reapers for help. Liam, Miles and Tristan are at Club Sin Chicago, they're willing to help, but at what cost to Lexi? They are attracted to each other but they have a certain woman they need.

I honestly liked the story line and can't wait to read more from this author!

[Samantha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. I found this story to be more than I expected. I knew it would have its darkness, villians, sexy times but oh, those Reapers. Tristan, Miles and Liam were something else. Lexi manipulated their first face to face meeting with the hope of changing her fate. None of them expected a deep connection nor perfect fit, but they got that and more. I found that I couldn't put this story down once I started it. The storyline was engrossing and the characters were great. Lexi was a strong and determined young woman. There was something to like about all three men, but Tristan falling was the best. Plenty of heat, but there was betrayal, conflict, drama, violence, courage, acceptance and trust also

A fun steamy read

Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice Level: 🌶🌶🌶
Darkness Level: 💀.5

⚠️ Assasins, murder, kidnapping

I've been a fan of Elyse's books since her debut. They are usually sweet and spicy, so when I heard she was writing a why-choose, I had to jump on it.

Only to discover she's also dipped her toes into the dark side! 😈 Maybe I corrupted her. Oops.

One of the things I love about her writing is that even though her books are on the shorter side, they are always packed full of feels. This has now become my favourite book of hers, with a perfect mix of plot, steam, darkness, and feelings.

Out of the Club Sin books I've read, this has been my favourite so far. If you like WC, steam, BDSM...give this one a try.

[Mary Curtis · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a why chose dark mafia/ mob romance with a HEA! It’s all my favorite tropes in one story! I finished this book under one day. I was hooked! Lexi is one lucky women getting those hot alpha males to have. Tristan, Miles and Liam are men you dream about brought to you in black and white that makes them that morally Grey males we all love. I usually chose one of the many men of a why chose but I can’t I love all 3 of them!

Characters: 10000000000/10
Trope: Dark Mafia RH/ WC , BDSM romance
Plot: 10000/10
Triggers: Yes this is a Mafia romance with BDSM
Smutt: All of it was hot hot hot!!!!

Favorite Quote or Line: I couldn’t chose the whole book was everything and more!!!!!

[Maureen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I honestly really enjoyed this story, it was interesting and it was a story that kept my attention and those stories are certainly the best.
Lexis father is a small time crime boss, he has picked out a husband for her that is almost the same age as himself. Lexi cant stand the man, he gives her the creepy crawlers.
Overhearing a conversation between both men Lexi learns of the three men called the Reapers!
Tristan, Liam and Miles are looking for the one, till they see her at the club. Only thing is she wants them for a job. But before they all agree she must accept their challenge.

I loved all these characters it really was worthwhile reading!!.

[Leisel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sinfully good!

OMG I think I might have combusted if this wonderfully dark erotic story continued with anymore visits to Room fifteen.
Loved the plot and definitely more to the story than just the sexual tension and play scenarios between these four connected characters. But I do love to read how a female can alter even the darkest of men. I will admit this was perhaps one of the more risque ventures in this genre I've experienced but it left me interested enough to finish it quite quickly. Besides who doesn't enjoy a bit of a bad boy adventure where they are actually doing more good than harm.

🪢 Room 15 💋
Elyse went there, and I am shaking of how excited I am.
Lexi is desperate to get away from her father and soon to be arranged marriage. Her father Deals in drugs,guns, and she just found out trafficking women.
She wants him gone and knows the Reapers will help. These are men you don't want to be on their bad side.
Dark, dangerous, vigilante assassins of Chicago.
When entering their Club she must give herself up. Trust and submission in room 15.
These 3 men🥵 hot steamy, why choose, bdsm club, quick read.
There is danger, suspense, and scenes that will make you squirm in your seat 😏

Lexi wants out of an arranged marriage but her father arranged it and he's determined everything goes as he planned. When Lexi looks to the Reapers, Miles, Liam, and Tristan to help her out they want all of her and only for them. This s a dark, steamy, mafia romance between three sexy alpha males and one beautiful woman. The writing is good and the characters have a hot and intense connection. Room Fifteen is part of the multi-author Club Sin Chicago Session 2 series and I look forward to reading the rest of this series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Lexi (FMC) is a closeted Mafia Princess that is being used as a pawn to bargain with by her violent and underhand father. When she hears something that she shouldnt have it leads her to Club Sin and The Reapers - Tristan, Liam and Miles. Who entangle her in all of their seductive steaminess and all of the kinks that they have. Oh boy were they ever smoking hot!! I love the dynamic Lexi had with the guys which was not only hot but it was caring and protective too. Im loving these Club Sin books and this one was a brilliant addition to that.

[Syd Springer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an awesome book. I really enjoyed Lexi and her men together with their intense connection and chemistry. Tristan, Miles and Liam are drawn to Lexi and when they find out who she is and what she wants/needs they are more than willing to do anything and everything for their woman. Lots of steam, drama, some unaliveness, but an awesome HEA. Perfect addition to this series and I can't wait for more.

Elyse Kelly painted a sinful picture with Liam, Miles, Tristan and Lexi's story. I was immersed in the sexy storyline that held unexpected twists. Lexi just wanted control of her own life. Though their relationship is considered unconventional, the four of them were perfect together. The love they shared is what most people hope to find with another, only they found it with more. This was a unique story showing that true love has no boundaries and held me until the very end.

[Lisa Parker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lexi is desperate to escape the arraigned marriage that her father is determined she go thru with to a despicable individual. She plans on seeking the help of the Reapers, the local vigilantes to rid her of her father and soon to be fiancé.

Miles, Liam and Tristan are willing to help, but the have to be able to trust her, which means she must give herself over to them completely in room fifteen.
