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.

Another hit by T.L. Smith!! This book checked every single box and I literally could not put it down once I started it. Echo and Storm were absolutely perfect together. And the heat level was off the charts!!!

Welcome to the hotness that is Crimson Elite.
4 hot guys, 4 best friends, 4 love story's.

Anguished is the 2nd book in the series and contains Echo's story.
I loved Echo, he was sexy, alluring, charming, an alpha male with a dirty mouth but he also had a hint of vulnerability when it came to his love life.

"He was more than a ten, trust me, Mel. Men like him aren't made, they're dreamt about. And that's where he will stay in my dreams"

Storm and Echo first meet in a club, there is an instant attraction between them and they get it on in a back room. Both of them want nothing more than one night, both have been burned in relationships in the past and both have their quick way with one another and go there separate ways. Storm leaves without even giving Echo her name.
Storm is ballsy, she's a woman with backbone, a redhead with fire and she got what she wanted, a night with a hot guy to take her mind of her douche of an ex but when she can't find her ID she then realizes her one time fling knows all her details and possibly has her card.

Echo too wanted just a one night stand but he can't get the redhead out of his mind and uses her ID card in exchange for seconds.

From this point, It's cat and mouse all the way with lots of angst and drama in the mix, family dramas, jealous ex's. I couldn't put it down and the hotness.... prepare to fan yourself.

Another great addition to the series, I found Anguished a lot lighter to read than Cavalier, Creed was an intense character, I loved Creed and Echo who are both completely different and I can't wait to read the next book to see what TL Smith brings next.

The club the guys run is still a mystery to me, there's no more info on the club other than it's a secret sex club and for Elite customers and each of the guys have their own role in the running of it. The plot focuses more on the characters and what is going on in their love lives or private lives rather than the workplace. I suppose it's like reading a hockey romance and there's not a bat or ball in sight, same thing, they run a sex club but you don't see the action. I'm kind of glad about that, I've had my fill of sex club books.

I'm digressing, in a nutshell, I loved it and I am excited about the next book.
