[close] The Elite Seven.

Lust:

I was born with wealth, athletic ability, and looks that could melt the panties off a nun.
I had a clear path to success.
Until fate dealt me a cruel blow, leaving me empty and in need of purpose.
My only focus now is to become part of The Elite—a secret society in one of the most prestigious colleges in the world.
But everything comes at a price, and with The Elite, you have to earn your place.
Lucky for me, being sinful is in my DNA.
The only obstacle to full initiation is my task: seduce the un-seducible, the forbidden, and lure her with the sins of the flesh.
Easy for a man like me…in theory.

She started as my task, but what happens when the lines between lust and love blur, and the need for power rages war with the need for her?
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak—they’re for The Elite.
This is my life, my chance, my legacy.
I am Rhett Masters.
I am Lust.

This book was a great start to the series. I couldn't put it down, you would think with the title that the entire book would be about lust but there were several parts that I laughed out loud. It was a great story. Chasity and Rhett were great together, she helped him so much. I felt so sad for him. I would love to read the rest of the series especially about "God" Rhetts bestfriend but you all know I am on book allowance he$$ so I will have to wait for sells :) ...more

Lust, book one In a new exciting series.
Each book written by different authors.

I enjoyed Lust, I also love the concept of this series, each book given the name of one of the 7 deadly sins, Lust, Pride, Wrath, Envy, Greed, Gluttony and Sloth, each one of those titles are given to a member chosen by a secret society called the Elite.

Rhett is a playboy so there's no surprise he is given the name Lust.

I was instantly pulled into this book, into the thoughts, anguish, and despair of Rhett when he Lust, book one In a new exciting series.

Over a year later and Rhett still blames himself for the fateful night that left him tormented with nightmares.

Rhett's goal to ease his pain is to get into the secret club having heard rumors of the Elite club he wants in, he wants the power it brings and he hopes one day it will also bring him justice.
All Rhett's plans change when he meets a nerdy girl, a girl who doesn't fall at his feet and actually dislikes him.
Lust turns into love and I liked the progression of enemies to lovers and how Rhett's love is tested.
There's twists and turns in the story, Lust is an interesting plot with interesting characters and I definitely foresee an exciting and gripping series ahead.

I thought Lust would have been darker, I suppose because this is written by Ker Dukey but it was more intriguing and had suspense, it also wasn't as hot as I expected either. It definitely left me wanting more though.

My only disappointment was the age of the characters, at first when the story began I assumed it was the backstory, the build-up to the now years and would lead to Rhett being older to how he had reached a power status in the Elite, in the secret club he longed to be in but it didn't go that way. This story is about college students and stays at the age of college students which is very similar to another series I've read.

Looking forward to the next book and what Pride brings, does Pride come before a fall?.
