Reading Rec! Anguished by T.L. Smith

Welcome to Crimson Elite,
the most exclusive sex club in the world.

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.

Avery’s Thoughts About the Book

I would read an entire series of
only Echo and Storm stories…

These two are officially my favorite couple of the series. They have a scorching hot one night stand and then he cant stop thinking about her. She’s a boss…literally. As the Editor in Chief of a fashion magazine, she’s both beautiful and brainy. She’s self reliant with a big job so she needs nothing from him, which makes a perfect cocktail for a no-strings-attached fling.

These two have an instant magnetic attraction but Storm resists him knowing how complicated things could if she were to catch feelings for a guy like him. They have a fun back and forth chase before she caves.

Echo hasn’t got a lot of experience in the relationship department but he isn’t afraid of commitment and he doesn’t run around acting like a thoughtless man whore. When they initially meet, Echo is dealing with the sting of his bitch ex Selena marrying his traitorous brother Mike (yes, I have some feelings about that). Before Storm even knows what the score is, she gets dragged into the middle of their situation and her fun fling turns into drama central. She attempts to wash her hands of the whole thing but she cant stay away from Echo for too long.

I loved this book beginning to end. Echo is charming, Storm is sharp, and they’re absolutely awesome together.
