“5+ PHENOMENAL CRIMSON ELITE STARS!! This book is in my top 10 books for 2018.” 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 … 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 ‘Fcks 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 icy 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.
Please note all books can be read as a standalone*

Cavalier is the first book in this series and boy are we off to an explosive start. I loved Creed. He is mysterious and sexy but most of all he finally found the woman who will own his heart. It doesn’t matter how hard they try to deny it, they are meant for each other. Elicea brings out the best in him and makes him want to be a better man for her. This book takes us on a crazy ride as this two fall in love and learn to navigate life as a whole. I was hooked from the very beginning and I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the guys from the Crimson Elite Club.
I received an arc and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
Absolutely loved this book and the start to what will be an absolute,amazing, very addicting series. I seriously fell in love with these two so much, it was more than I expected but so great! Couldn’t put down at all.
Cavalier by T.L. Smith
5 +++ Stars
I absolutely loved this so much! It is so marvelous and its sooo good!! T. L. Smith has another major hit on her hands!! It is so well written! Characters are very well developed!
Creed and Elicea ~
Crimson Elite is a very private and exclusive club.
Creed is one of the four owners to Crimson Elite. He is in charge of the girls and recruiting them.
Elicea quits one job as a waitress. She is offered another job right away as a bartender at the Crimson Elite.
“You aren’t special. He recruits the girls. You are a girl.”
“A girl like her could be precarious to a man like me. But like a predator seeking its prey, I’m curious.”
“Looking up and into his eyes– the same ones that make me forget what day it is– everything stops.”
“His voice settles over me, like warm liquid honey.”
Very highly highly recommend!! Can not wait to read the next book in the series!
From the moment I learned about
Cavalier, I couldn’t wait to read Creed’s story, and WOW it’s DOOZIE!!!
I am sooooo in LOVE with the Crimson Elite men. TL Smith gave us a dark, intriguing, emotional read that I devoured in a setting.
I was completely sucked into the Crimson Elite world ams those oh so sexy men!
Creed was an enigma, one I LOVED!!! I guess I’m a sucker for those alpha males. He’s a complicated man, quiet, but he has a lot to say when he meets Elicea. Can she fix this broken man?
Elicea, what can I say about her… She was a bit wishy washy at times, and that kinda drove me nuts, but she’s a strong independent woman. Used to handling her own life. Then Creed comes along….
Can Creed win her heart? Can she accept him for who he is?
Their chemistry was INSANELY EXPLOSIVE!!! Cavalier definitely brings the sizzle factor. All in all I must say I’m already
addicted with Crimson Elite. And I can’t Wait for more!!
With every new book that I read by TL Smith I fall more and more in love with her writing. Cavalier is the newest book for me to love. 2 broken but amazing main characters. Best friends that I am going to keep my fingers crossed that they get their own stories. And a truly epic romance that I devoured and never wanted to put down. What more could a girl ask for in her romance novel? Nothing, I could ask for nothing more. This book was everything I love and a prime example of why I read.
Creed can pretend to be as cavalier as he wants, until Elicea enters the picture
This is my first book by the author and I love an author who writes in dual point of view. Elicea walks home after work where she witnesses a beating. At work, Elicea quits after being harassed one more time. In steps Creed who offers her a job at the twice the pay which Elicea accepts. But what starts between Elicea and Creed is something that keeps the plot going with many twists and changes. Will Elicea and Creed have their happily ever after? You have to read to find out and won’t want to put the book down.
T.l. smith is one of them author’s that draws you on and keeps you on the edge of your seat. So it’s no suprisevthat she blew me out of the park with this one also. Can’t wait till the next one
I really enjoyed reading Cavalier. This book was very good and wonderful to read. I loved the storyline and the characters they were very creative and fun to read about.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book
I love this book so much! I dragged my feet reading this because I didn’t want it to end. I like to this of this book as T.L. Smith lite. If you are wanting a super dark book, this isn’t it. What you have though, is a beautifully crafted intriguing story. I did feel that Elicea was obnoxiously obtuse at times, but other times she totally made up for it. She is not a simpering miss and knows what she wants. Creed is definitely and strong hero and perfect for Elicea. I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in this series, because if they started off this strong the rest are bound to blow your socks off. This tale is told in dual pov.
First I have to say that this is my first book by T.L. Smith and I feel like I have lived under a rock in the reading world because HOLY HADES SWEET BABY JESUS this woman can WRITE! I mean she threw me into a world where I wanted no needed more because I could not get enough and with each page I wanted to know more about each character and I was scrambling to read and ended up reading all night till I finished the story.
This is the first book in The Crimson Elite serious and holy hell it started off with a BANG! I mean we get this alpha sexy AF smart male who is business with his friends. The business is a secretive sex club that no ones knows about unless you are invited and if you tell anyone else about it you will end up……. I don’t know because everyone keeps their mouth shut because they love the club so much. When you are reading you get this feel that the club owners are into to some serious dark and kinky stuff that may be just a tad bit better than BDSM.
Creed is one of the owners of the club and he hires Elicea. Only when he hired her did not know his life was about to change and change it did. Creed is sexy AF and always brooding and just a straight up a$$hole. Elicea is a no nonsense girl that takes no crap from anyone and she sure as hell is not going to take Creeds crap. I love the banter between these two because they run hot and cold and are always going at it because neither will back down. Then add in the chemistry these two have, it is amazing just simply amazing. I was so enthralled with these two I need more of them. I need another book to see how they continue their relationship.
Wow! I was so completely drawn into this story! Creed is and Elicea…is she cut out for this?? Dark and sexy… looks like we’re getting books for the other guys too! Cannot wait!!
T.L. Smith did a great job on Cavalier, the story was written well with a great plot. Creed and Elicea were great characters, they were well matched. I enjoyed their story, these two were perfect together. Their attraction and chemistry was off the charts. They were made for each other.
I enjoyed this story, it was great. I’d suggest reading.
Thank you, T.L. Smith. Great work 🙂
Amazing story! The characters were great. Creed and Elicea were a perfect match. They meet at a bar where Elicea waits on Creed and his friends. After an incident that has Elicea quitting her job, Creed offers her a job at his exclusive and secret club, Crimson Elite. The plot becomes dark and gritty from there. Their attraction is intense and undeniable and super HOT!
I love TL Smith’s stories and this one is no exception. I can’t wait to read more because the other men in this story are very intriguing and sexy.
I want to give this more than just 5 stars! I literally just finished reading Cavalier and not only did I love it, I want to start it all over again. It ended too soon for me and I’m already dying for the next book. I couldn’t put it down and I didn’t want too.
Cavalier is different and new but so T.l Smith at the same time. You dont only fall in love with Creed and Elicea but every single character along the way.
I was surprised with the turn of events but absolutely loved it. While you still get the bad, Cavalier isn’t as dark as some of her other works. Creed is more mysterious than he is dark. While Elicea was the perfect independent and strong heroine. I devoured their story and can’t wait for more of the Crimson Elite .
I need half stars! 3.5 for me.
This author seems to have returned to her earlier writing style which I LOVE. She is no BS, pulls no punches and is in your face with the subject matter. If you are not up for some sex with some dark themes and some seedy underbelly of the rich elite, take a pass.
I love that Elicia is as independent and feisty as she is. I don’t really *like* Creed, but I do enjoy that being around Elicia makes him less of a robot and more human. He’s broody and sexy, but just not for me. Regardless, their push and pull makes enjoyable reading!
I am greatly amused by the three other gents running the club, and look forward to their stories as well!
5+ PHENOMENAL CRIMSON ELITE STARS!! This book is in my top 10 books for 2018. T.L. Smith is going out with a bang for 2018, with her new series….It is PHENOMENAL. Creed is the perfect man hot, quiet, confident, rich and knows how to take care of a woman. Elicea is my favorite type of woman confident, beautiful, strong and knows what she wants and takes it. These two together are like beautiful fireworks they clash together and pretty colors explode that you never want to end. I am so excited to read more in this series….I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK.
Creed is an arsehole.
He’s cavalier to a T.
But he’s hot and kinda gets away with it!
Ladies scratch an itch until our heroine comes along.
Elicia is hot too and doesn’t really give a damn for Creed’s ways…..or does she?
Add in friends who interfere, some dark secrets and you have yourself a story.
TL Smith’s gone back to her true roots in this book and it was a page turner.
If you’ve read her before you will see the similarities with the Bratva boys.
From page one, this book will have you hooked. I read it in one day. What I loved… Creed. He was dark and troubled but had a vulnerability to him that was intriguing and sweet. The chemistry between Creed and Elicia was immediate and never wavered. I was surprisingly happy that not a lot of the club scenes were described (the sexy parts) – TL did a nice job of just keeping it focused on the Elite crew and Elicia and her story line. I did NOT want this book to end where it did but alas, it just makes me want the other books more than I already do. This Crimson Elite crew is something else and I cannot wait for each of their stories (and continued stories from others)!! 5 starts, for sure.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by author)…
I absolutely loved this book!! We have four broody very sexy men with their interesting and twisted job specialties. I loved Creed, aka Mr Cavalier, even when he did terrible stuff I still couldn’t help but love him. El was one tough cookie, she endured such a tragic pain in her past but didn’t let it stop her.
I don’t want to reveal too much because I loved the entire book from beginning to end; I was so sad when it finished. But on a happier note each guy is getting his own book and I can’t wait to see who is next 😉
Holy dark, twisty, alpha hotness! Elicea & Creed are two very different people but both broken. They are an unlikely pair but ohhhh Lordy do they work out nicely! There are plenty of twists and turns. I love how TL Smith can take something taboo (like the club Crimson Elite) and make it into its own world that you love and accept. The supporting characters help make the story. The Elite guys are very loyal & dark alphas. I cannot wait to get their stories! Echo has my heart his poor broken soul!
I’m very much looking forward to the next book!
