Reveal
I used to believe in destiny.
I was six years old when I first took to the stage, and I’ve danced every day since. It’s the biggest part of who I am. The fuel that drives me forward.
My oxygen...
My life...
My soul.
The stars were perfectly aligned, and my fairy tale had slowly begun to play out like a beautifully scripted passage from a romance novel. I was all set to live my happily ever after…
Until I wasn’t.
If dancing was my heart, Daniel was the blood that kept it beating. I was content with supporting him as he worked towards his music dreams, but then he disappeared, leaving me scared, alone and suffocating under the crushing weight of his debts.
It’s said that opportunity often comes disguised as misfortune.
When one door closes, another one opens. But I wasn’t prepared for it to belong to Reveal, one of New York City’s most exclusive Burlesque Clubs.
It feels as though the universe is conspiring against me until fate thrusts two very different men into the equation. And what they have in common, no one could have predicted.
Destiny may have delivered them both, but who stays is my choice.

I'm a little neurotic; I function on a tiny amount of sleep and a huge amount of caffeine. I love green skittles and have an irrational fear of stormy weather. When I’m not writing about super hot college guys, you can generally find me googling them...All in the name of research of course. I can be persuaded to do just about anything with the promise of a good book or a bottle of bubbles. Oh, and I also love to write.

New to me author with a romantic suspense that grabbed my attention with the word "burlesque." Haven't seen that in a plot so I took a chance and was well rewarded. A warning to those who hate the love triangles: This story includes one. It's pretty evident from the get-go who's in the lead and will win the race. And readers will probably share my desire to hope that this author will follow up with a story for the one who doesn't win the girl -- because he certainly isn't a loser in any way. That being said, I was always cheering very pleased for the guy who stole our dancing heroine's heart.
There was one twist that revealed itself early on to me, but there were more that this author hid just out of reach in plain sight which was a thrill for this suspense lover. Overall, this is a great read and one that kept me interested and happy with the characters, storyline and ending.
Definitely going to take a look at Elle Brooks' backlist and future releases.

*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed the story of beautiful and smart-mouthed dancer, Robyn, and her two love interests, Cole and Callum, very much. This was a perfectly written love triangle because both Callum and Cole are swoon-worthy and it was not clear who will Robyn choose, the author kept me guessing for some time. Callum is smart, sexy, protective, and Robyn's boss and Cole is successful, attractive man who is falling head over heels with Robyn. Both men are helping her in different ways to cope with the mess left to Robyn by her up to no good boyfriend, Daniel.
I loved the setting of the book, Burlesque club in New York, with opulent Gatsbyesque feel. This is the first book I've read set in the Burlesque club and it was a breath of fresh air. It also has a good share of twists and surprises that kept me guessing till the end.

Decent read. The "reveal" was glaringly obvious from the beginning and I felt it was a bit too wordy and dragged on too much for my taste.

Reveal is the perfect title for this story. There were so many twists and turns that kept being revealed throughout the entire story. I was glued to my kindle and couldn’t swipe the pages fast enough.
Robyn is a dancer. She has been dancing her entire life.
“I’ve danced from the age of six. Ballet, tap, modern, street and anything and everything in between. It’s more than a passion; it’s an obsession bordering on insanity. If I couldn’t dance, I would cease to exist.”
When her boyfriend up and disappears, she is left with all of his debt and a loan shark knocking down her door. She turns to a friend and ends up as a burlesque dancer at a club called Reveal.
Callum is the owner of Reveal. He takes one look at Robyn dancing and hires her instantly. He is drawn to her like he’s never been drawn to someone before.
“I’m usually much better at not blurring the lines. I guess the thing about Robyn that’s bothering me the most is that I want to blur the lines with her. I want to smudge them so badly that they’re not even lines anymore.”
However, Callum isn’t the only man in Robyn’s life. Enter Cole, a wealthy business man who is everything Robyn should want. He comes into her life at a much needed time. He is such a gentleman though and doesn’t push her further than she is ready even if he wants to.
“The thought is tormenting, and although I do want to be her friend, I can’t deny this intense attraction. I think I’d sell my soul to the devil himself to have my lips pressed against hers.”
Between Robyn’s crazy life, and juggling two men, I had to know what was going to happen. I loved this story and couldn’t put it down. The ending especially surprised me.
If you love your books to be steamy, full of angst and drama, and to be unputdownable, look no farther. This is a must read! ~ Tiffany, 4.5 stars

I went in thinking, ‘Oh no, this is going to be a love triangle that is going to go wrong’, yet I was really surprised that it definitely wasn't. Now, Ms. Brooks definitely threw in some curve balls that had me rethinking of what and how this was going to play out.
Robyn was betrayed and left to pay the consequences of her ex, Daniel. She didn't know how she was going to do that when she was barely able to make ends meet, and if she wanted to keep living, she had to scramble and find a way to pay for his mistake and betrayal. Robyn's love for dance is the way she finds a light in the dark tunnel she is currently in and, no matter what, she's decided to do what she needs to, to continue living and surviving.
Cole has seen Robyn at the coffee shop across from his job, so he knows he has to find a way to get her attention and a way to get her to go out with him. What he does is pretty funny and smart so guys, take notes on this the next time you want a woman's attention!
Callum's way of getting over the ultimate betrayal is losing himself in any woman that allows him to, because he refuses to get attached again. His motto is "Don't sh*t where you eat", yet he seems to have done that and now he knows he's screwed!!
Robyn knows she shouldn't get involved with either, yet one man in particular has a strong pull on her that, as hard as she tries, she knows there is no way she will be able to walk away from…
As I mentioned there are curve balls thrown in here and, let me say, for a minute there I thought to myself, ‘Oh, this just cannot be!!’ Kudos, Elle Brooks, for keeping me on my toes and totally throwing me left field. Can't wait for what else you have up your sleeve! ~ Kara, 4 stars

What can I say above this story? It's intriguing, exciting and addicting! I loved every minute. Immediately I found myself wanting to know certain parts of the story and reading like a crazy woman. I am not the one to read ahead, but this story tempted me. Elle Brooks brings us a fascinating story and plot that has an edge and added suspense to it that I love.

This started out ok for me although I did have feeling I read it before. Turns out I didn't. Either I read the sample or it's very similar to another book I read. Unfortunately I did a lot of skimming it just didn't cut it for me.

**I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.**
I know you aren’t supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I knew as soon as I saw the cover of Reveal that I was going to fall in love with it! It is absolutely gorgeous! I was super excited to find out that the background of the story was set at a burlesque club. How fun and refreshing is that? I haven’t read a book that had this particular theme, which made it a very unique book for me.
Elle creates an exquisite cast of characters all of which are fighting their own battles and demons. Robyn, the heroine of our story, has been left in dire circumstances after her boyfriend leaves her high and dry. She finds work as a dancer at an upscale burlesque club where she meets Callum, the handsome, sexy, club owner, but not before she meets Cole at a coffee shop a while before she starts working at the club. Elle writes a tangled web of love, passion, and suspense as Robyn gets caught up in a love triangle.
Watch out for plot twists and surprises, because this book has them! Throughout the story I knew that I felt uneasy about some things, but I wasn’t able quite guess what was going on. I LOVE this about a book. I do not like to be able to predict things, and this book definitely kept me guessing! This book is hot, steamy, action packed and a definite page turner!
5 shooting stars!

Now, Tweet - she's having a hard time cleaning up a mess that her now ex boyfriend has left her and that's all she's focused on. But not for long! Two man, both undeniably attractive and smart, are slowly breaking down her walls.

When one door closes, another one opens and in Robyn's case a new start is definitely what she needs. Preferably one that pays well after being lumbered with a bad debt when her ex bailed and left her to clean up his mess.
Reveal; an high end Burlesque establishment in New York City. It has a respectable reputation and the money is good; a means to an end and a great opportunity to express her love of dance -- nipple pasties be damned.
A hot coffee debacle in Starbucks paves the way to a new friendship in a hotshot lawyer named, Cole. Sexy, refined, successful, Cole is a great ear and good company, and it is quickly apparent he would like more.
Callum may be the boss of one of the most revered Burlesque clubs in the city, but he's a renowned player. After having his heart broken by his ex girlfriend, Lisa when she cheated on him, he has vowed to never let another in.
When Robyn is attacked by a loan shark demanding the 10k debt her ex rang up she turns to her friend Lucy for advice. Having a contact within the establishment, Robyn successfully lands a new job at Reveal... just the break she was looking for, but as always, nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems.
Reveal is an addictive, sexy and unmissable read that focuses on one woman's plight to do the right thing even when a wrong has been made. Robyn is a sweet character and because of this she has two men vying for her attention, and even though her actions are genuinely honourable, she finds herself in a couple of predicaments that make you turn every page with relish.
The anticipation of where this story would lead was killing me, and that can only be attributed to the wonderful writing style and talent that is Elle Brooks. She is fast becoming one of my favourite authors and I swore after her Promises series, I will read anything this woman writes and Reveal did not disappoint. This is more edgy than her previous work and even though it hints at a love triangle, not all is as it seems. All I can say to that is this Princess is #TeamCallum ALL THE WAY!
Add this one to your TBR and READ IT! You won't be disappointed.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review from the author.
(Also purchased if that tells you how awesome this book was!!)
Elle Brooks has done it again. This book was completely on a different page than the Promises series, but was just as gripping and heartfelt.
"One more second and it would have been too late. I was pumped with adrenaline and eager to carry on and find a new target. I never spared a thought for how terrified the poor animal must have felt knowing it was being stalked. I was the predator, top of the food chain, and the upper hand was mine. Tonight I'm the prey."
Have you ever felt scared for your life? Whether in a real life situation or in a dream? One that felt so real you woke up afraid that your breathing would alert the one after you? That your heart rate could be heard across the world and not just in your own ears?
"I've danced from the age of six. Ballet, tap, modern, street and anything and everything in between. It's more than a passion ; it's an obsession bordering on insanity. If I couldn't dance, I would cease to exist. People may call it dancing -I call it living. It's raw, ardent expressionism, each movement distorting reality so radically that you have no choice but to feel every emotion it pulls from you."
I love this. The passion written so that you can feel it. The characters believe in what they love and they stick with it no matter how others may look at it.
This book touches on so many different feelings, too many to count. The storyline is great, and keeps you interested, as well as entertained.
5 Stars for Reveal !!

Reveal by Elle Brooks
MUST READ of 2015
***ARC given for exchange of a honest review.
These books take on a whole new direction from her 1st 2 books and she blew it out of the water.
This book is the story of Robyn. Handed a really awful fate by her long term boyfriend Daniel. She is left to pick up the pieces or fall apart and that just isn't a option.
Desperate times call for extreme measures she meets 2 sexy as sin men in different locations that become her saving grace in different ways, if she will allow them in. Funny how when you get crushed your heart closes to potential possibilities.
Callum is her boss and sexy in the bad boy kinda way. Tuff on the outside by a vulnerable kinda way when time calls for it.
Cole very put together Lawyer. Likes things neat and easy. But has an immediate connection with Robyn that he can't fight.
I can't say much more for fear of spoiling it. Believe me you do not want that cause this book is a ride and you won't know what hits. Let me tell you this book had me engrossed and pulled in with every emotion going through me.
The Twist and turns in this book blew me away I sure as heck didn't see them coming and truly made for a great read.
Thank you Elle Brooks for your genius. Your books are truly inspiring and beautiful. Congratulations on an Amazing book.

3.5 stars!! I enjoyed this one, a kind of romantic suspense with a hint of a love triangle, but not...now your curiosity is piqued!! The plot kept me going, I loved Cole even though he was a bit stalkerish lol, but seriously a guy that goes to that much length to get your attention, you know he is serious and I have to admit I felt for him, a lot. He was Mr Safe, Mr Lawyer and sometimes it is the nice guys that get ignored. Callum was dark and dangerous, yet he wasn't. The total opposite of Cole in all ways but he too had a heart of gold. Robyn was beautiful inside and out, yet she had the world on her shoulders and her track record at picking out men was not great. Crazy circumstances make you do crazy things and that is just the situation that she finds herself in. On one hand we have Mr Safe and on the other Mr Dark and Dangerous...just who will she choose. (full review to come)

I want to start off by saying that Reveal was the first book I've read that has been written by Elle Brooks. And it won't be my last.
Reveal will capture you, captivate you, and consume you until you've consumed it.
The characters in the story are witty and their banter will have you laughing. That's one way I know I'm reading a great book: if while reading, I catch myself smiling like a fool or laughing out loud. Reveal is one of those great books.

So let's talk about how much I absolutely and whole heartedly loved Reveal by Elle Brooks. It is hands down one of my top reads of the year, and I loved every all-feeling, intense, and just downright phenomenal word of it. This is the kind of book that you don't just read...it's a book you experience every ounce of. You feel every word of this book, you live through its brilliant pages as if you're right there with its characters, and you love this book and every outstanding thing that it gives you.
Reveal was vibrant and mesmerizing and consuming to say the least. The moment I began this book, I was completely enraptured in everything that I was experiencing with its characters and I couldn't put it down for a minute. That wasn't surprising in the least though, because anything that I've read by Elle Brooks has been unputdownable. (Yes I just made that word up, but it completely fits her books!) This was such a unique story that just unfolded so amazingly before my eyes as I was reading, and I couldn't get enough of what I was reading.
I truly never wanted Reveal to end, and that my friends is one of the many things I got from Reveal that let me know I was reading some pure literary magic that I would love immensely.
Reveal tells the story of Robyn, a young dancer in New York who is beyond down on her luck. Her boyfriend Daniel leaves her unexpectedly with a mountain of his debt and the people ready to collect it, and that sends her reeling to say the least. She is lost and devastated and in an attempt to make some money quick, she finds herself at Reveal, New York's most fabulous burlesque club. It's sultry and vibrant and mesmerizing, and also happens to be everything that Robyn isn't used to, but it brings out something in her that is bursting with passion and feeling and so many other fantastic things.
This book follows Robyn as she begins her journey at Reveal and tries to figure out what to do with herself and her life after something that truly sent her reeling and shattered her heart. It's on that journey that Robyn also finds Callum and Cole. Cole is nice, charming, and an all around good guy who would love nothing more than to start something with Robyn after they meet in a very memorable way. Callum is Robyn's boss and the owner of Reveal, and he is dark and charming in his own distinct way, and just has this presence to him.
Reveal follows these three dynamic, authentic, and truly engaging characters as this enrapturing story unfolds. One of my favorite aspects of this book was that it was told in all three of their points of view. I got into each of their distinctive little heads, got the fantastic chance to understand them, and just loved them each so much for who they were. They're each so different, and the way their stories weave together will just blow you away and have you feeling so much because of what you're experiencing with each of them.
I loved Robyn's character to pieces and I just felt like I got to know her so well over the course of Reveal. You see her go through so many things in this book, and your heart will just go to her the instant you meet her. Robyn is definitely thrown for many loops in the events of Reveal, but through it all you get to see the real her who is authentic and determined and one helluva fighter that just keeps giving it her all. She is such a fantastic character to get to know, and her story in Reveal is one I absolutely loved.
It also was pretty wonderful seeing Robyn feeling the things that she was for Callum and Cole in this story. Those guys represent two very different things, and two sets of very different feelings, and seeing that all unfold with Robyn over the course of the story is mesmerizing, intense, and has the most amazing level of push and pull. Robyn will be pushed and pulled by Cole and Callum and so many other things in this book, and you'll be there feeling the same way right along with her because of the outstanding level of connection you'll feel to her character. Getting that is all just a true testament to Elle Brooks' talent and storytelling ability.
Elle Brooks thoughtfully crafts a story in Reveal that is bursting with an outstanding level of emotion and feeling, more heat and build and tension than you can shake a stick at, and some serious mystery that just pulls you in more and more to what your experiencing. There's also just an added spark, an effervescent liveliness and color to Reveal that fires of the page in the most mesmerizing way. That spark weaves its way so effortlessly through everything you're reading and just brings it to life in the most extraordinary way.
Reveal is a book that makes you feel and melt and think and wonder and question, and the moment you start it you're with these characters living through it all, and that is nothing short of wonderful. This story makes your heart break and squeeze like crazy, but it also attempt to heal it, and make it all better, and it definitely gives you so many glorious moments that melt your heart and you simultaneously. It's phenomenally balanced in every way, and just makes you fall in love with all of the characters you meet along the way.
Elle Brooks does such a magnificent job in Reveal of giving you a well rounded story that is bursting with so much of everything. Reveal packs so much emotion and feeling that you feel in your heart, so much tension that you feel in your bones, and so much fire and spark and heat that you just feel everywhere else. Elle Brooks creates all of that so beautifully and in such a captivating way that has you so wrapped up in every outstanding moment of this book.
Each page brings a new piece to the puzzle of this book, and I will tell you now that there are going to be many moments in this book that will shock you. Moments that will make your jaw drop, and your breath catch, and your heart rate speed up simultaneously. Those moments are just one of the many things that makes this book so extraordinary to experience.
One of the most unique aspects to this book was the burlesque dancing, and I have to say that Elle Brooks completely nailed this completely, along with so many other aspects. I was mesmerized and beyond pulled in to the world of burlesque and to Reveal. That world is consuming and intense and filled with a passion that has such a distinctive vibrancy that Elle Brooks so outstandingly brings to the pages of this story. I guarantee reading this book and getting to experience burlesque, and the many other fabulous aspects of it will have you just bursting with excitement at everything you're experiencing.
I absolutely love Elle Brooks' writing and everything that it gave me in Reveal. Her writing created a story that was so well plotted and enthralling to read, while also giving me so much of the characters she so thoughtfully created. I became so utterly connected and so emotionally invested in them all, and she cultivated and created all of that through her magnificent writing.
Elle Brooks' truly amazing writing creates a story in Reveal that fills you completely. It fills your heart with so much emotion and feels, fills your mind with so many fantastic questions and wonderings about what all will happen, and it fills your soul with the perfect level of passion, and life, and destiny that bursts from the pages of this book.
I honestly could go on and on for paragraphs and paragraphs about how much I loved Reveal by Elle Brooks. This book was everything that makes a book exceptional to read, and I honestly can't say enough good things about it. It was consuming in every way, I felt so many of its moments so truly and deeply, and I was beyond emotionally invested in this entire story and its dynamic and authentic characters I fell in love with along with way.
It was an exceptionally paced book too that I couldn't put down from the moment began reading. Each new page brought more feeling, more mystery, more vibrancy, more moments that shocked me, moments that squeezed my heart and completely melted it, and more moments that just showed me that what I was reading was utterly extraordinary.
Reveal is so many amazing things.

It gives you everything, and you'll gladly take it all, because that everything that it gives you....well that's just everything.
Reveal was vibrant and mesmerizing and consuming to say the least. The moment I began this book, I was completely enraptured in everything that I was experiencing with its characters and I couldn't put it down for a minute. That wasn't surprising in the least though, because anything that I've read by Elle Brooks has been unputdownable. (Yes I just made that word up, but it completely fits her books!) This was such a unique story that just unfolded so amazingly before my eyes as I was reading, and I couldn't get enough of what I was reading.
I truly never wanted Reveal to end, and that my friends is one of the many things I got from Reveal that let me know I was reading some pure literary magic that I would love immensely.

Robyn’s life comes crashing down around her when the person she thought loved her more anything, Daniel, abandons her. But it isn’t just the heartache and betrayal of Daniel leaving her that she has to contend with, but the problems and danger he left behind that is now catching up with her.
“Mom always used to tell me that a fairytale only ends when you’ve finished reading the story and close the book. I think life just closed my book.”
So with a love of dancing but no auditions working out, she goes for a job at an upper class burlesque club, Reveal, and it is here where her life becomes even more complicated as two men are thrust into her life; two men who are very different but who are complicated in more than just their scorching good looks and different personalities.
“Tonight I’m the prey. I watch—skittish and on high alert like that deer as the door rattles on its rusted orange-brown hinges. The pounding is so strong, so undeterred and fierce, it sounds like the persistent unwavering beat of a healthy heart.”
A whirlwind of a ride with passion, suspense, drama, betrayal, love and jealously; this story won’t let you catch your breathe for a second, you will be thrust into a story where deceit, lies, betrayal, passion and love are within every page and you will not be able to guess where you are going next until you are actually there; reading the page with your mouth hanging open.
“The knot in my throat burns and I can feel the sting of tears begin to prick behind my eyes as I lean against the back of my sofa. I’m hidden like a five year-old playing hide-and-seek. Only the thought of being discovered is terrifying.”
This is a hard review to do because I can’t give anything away but I hope my love for this book comes across. Robyn was a brilliant female lead! She was leading such a hard, scary and confusing life through not fault of her own and yet she perceives through it all with only minimal breakdowns which is very impressive. She was cute and remained feisty despite everything that was happening and I easily connected to her.
“The sad truth is I feel so lonely right now—I crave physical contact. I want to feel anything other than this…fear, hurt, anger.”
The two lead men; Cole and Callum were both extremely hot but in two very different ways. Cole was more polished and I could picture him in a suit, sitting on a chair and having a drink, while calmly telling you to strip with a smouldering look. Callum is the rougher man, who you know has a dirty mind and a dirty mouth but would still put his pleasure before his own. Both were men I fell in lust for but I did find myself leaning towards Callum as I always prefer the slightly rougher man!
“I’ve no real concept of where she ends, and I begin, and I fucking love it. I don’t even care that I’m pretty sure she’s just ruined me. If this is what ruined is, then bring it on because I don’t ever want to feel anything other than this right now.”
The plot was so intriguing!! Don’t be put off by the thought it might be a love triangle book; it is so so much more than that. I wouldn’t even compare it to those books. I really had no idea what was coming but I was hooked from page one. I couldn’t stop turning the pages quick enough and in the end I read this within half a day! I can’t reveal too much as it will give it away but there is hot sex, unexpected twists, betrayal and suspense that keeps you guessing throughout.
“I was pushed down a path that I’d never have taken if my hand weren’t forced. And while the road has been bumpy and fraught with difficulties, I would choose that path again given the chance.”
I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for other readers to get hooked into the unexpected plot an the feisty, hot and easily likeable characters. Don’t try and guess what is going to happen next…just go along for the ride!

Overall Rating: 4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆
What happens when the boyfriend you have loved completely with all of your heart up and leaves you? As if leaving was not bad enough, what if he also leaves his monstrous debts behind for you to take care of? What would you do? In Elle Brooks’ newest book Reveal, all the answers to these questions are revealed! Ms. Brooks skillfully created characters are well developed and so real that they could be you or me.
Robyn has always been a dancer, since she was six years old. She's a loving, yet gullible person who cares for everyone. Her parents were so loving and supportive that it makes her life even harder to deal with when her longtime boyfriend Daniel, up and leaves her. He left her scared and tying to pay off his debts. Yet out of the shadows of this deep murky darkness comes not one, but two guys who change her life and help her to become a stronger person so she can move on. How lucky is that?
Callum is the owner of a burlesque bar called Reveal. Cal is rough around the edges and a hardcore hottie. He's been burned in the past and isn't looking for anything past a quick lay. When Robyn, or Tweet as he likes to call her walks into his life and becomes a dancer at his bar, his whole world is rocked on its axis. He has a policy though...NO SLEEPING WITH EMPLOYEES. Will he be the good boss? Or will he succumb to the world of everything Robyn?
Cole has been living by the book all his life. Always impeccably dressed to the nines and of course he is a true gentleman. Cole is a force to be reckoned with. Now an attorney in a major law firm in the city, he's looking for something. When he bumps into the most beautiful girl he has ever laid eyes on and gets a hot coffee bath at the same time, things change for him. He wants her, Robyn. Trying to woo her in every way he knows, Cole is frustrated because she only wants to be friends with maybe a few benefits. Can Cole capture her heart and finally get the girl he wants?
Although, we do find out that the two new men in Robyn's life do have something in common. I won't spoil you with the details, so you will have to read to find out. I have to say I was a little worried where this story was going as I read the first couple chapters of the book. However, once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I was instantly hooked! I was cheering for both men and of course Robyn, but in the end, I love the way it turned out! This is an amazing story and everything I expected from Elle Brooks. She is a magnificent writer who will carry you through a story with beautiful elegance and have you begging for more. Nice reveal, Elle!

5 Crowns
A new standalone romance, unrelated to the authors Promises series.
Robyn finds herself backed into a corner with no where to go. Her long-term boyfriend has up'd and left her which in itself is devastating enough, but to top it off he has also left her to face huge debts and a scary loan shark determined to get his money. As a professional dancer in NYC, jobs are seriously hard to come by, she is struggling to make ends meet, never mind having extra to pay off the debts that Daniel left behind. When a friend tells her a local strip club is looking for dancers she knows it's a chance to earn some much needed cash. However she soon finds out that Reveal isn't just your average seedy strip joint, It's high end Burlesque, the classy art of stiptease. Reveal may just be the answer to her problems, or it could well be the start of even more?
Not ready to get involved romantically again, Robyn meets Cole. He is the perfect specimen in all ways and he would love to start something. You then have Callum, owner of Reveal, her boss and someone that becomes a protector and friend. If Robyn thought life couldn't get more complicated, she is seriously mistaken.
OMG, I seriously loved this book. It is no secret that I love this authors storytelling. Her Promises series was amazing and one that I recommended over and over again. The question for me before reading this book was would her storytelling transfer from what was very much a YA/NA series to pure NA and a book focusing on older characters and subject matters. Happily I can assure everyone that it does. Elle's voice and her fast paced style remains, but this book is as far removed from the Promises series as she could get. I am so pleased that she had the courage to take this book in a different direction. It proves that she is a wicked author and one that has the talent to grab my imagination with every single book she puts out there.
I loved the characters she created. All of the main protagonists are well thought out and because she has told the story from various POV's you have a real insight into the different layers of the story and them as individuals. There is mystery, suspense and angst a plenty. The overriding feeling for me though was that the story just continued to build and build. I just couldn't put it down because I needed to know where the story would go next. Beware guys, this is a one sitting read for sure. Get your housework done and kids fed before you sit down to start it!!
Another amazing read from Elle Brooks. In my opinion her writing goes from strength to strength. If you love you angst filled reads with sex, hot men and a twist of suspense - Reveal is a MUST READ!!

Only two words: Elle Brooks. This should tell you everything you need to know.
Elle is amazingly talented author. And to be honest she is fairly new also! But every single time I read her book I have so many emotions. Love, friendship, lust, heartache, sadness...everything! I thought that her Promises Series is the best ever (it is the most reread series by me), but now? Now I think a new series was born that will be a really close behind it!
The story didn't disappoint me! Sexy guys and adorable, strong female? It's what I love!
In here we meet Robyn, an amazingly talented dancer, whose life is giving a tough lesson. Abandoned by a person who she thought loved her and was supposed to stay with her in good and bad; with his debt and loan sharks after her, with no job and no money. When she starts to lose her hope, fate puts 2 handsome, sexy and successful men. One is not believing in relationship and also is her boss, and other wants to have one with her. After starting her new job in Reveal, a burlesque club, she thinks, no she BELIEVES, that life is finally letting her breathe and live a bit. But she is far from being safe and happy.
Two handsome guys: Cole and Callum...Only thinking about them makes my heart speed up. I wouldn't mind keeping them for myself! Both successful and so worth committing sin! Cole, reserved lawyer, who is determined to become a partner at his workplace. He doesn't want distractions until he meets Robyn. His priorities changes.
Callum...OMG. I almost prayed the whole book she will not chose him and I would beg Elle to give him to me. Hot tempered, sexy guy...That's what I like! He is the owner of Reveal and is fascinated by Robyn. But as he has a rule: Do not sleep with staff, he tries to avoid her and deny the attraction. Unfortunately, the feelings he has for her are so much stronger than his will! Thank God for that!
Elle is a genius with creating the whole story. When I thought that she is not able to shock, she throws a new character's POV and then the ending?! I was like WAIT....WHAT? I so did not expect ANY of that!
Amazing, pulling you in straight away story.
5 amazing and hot Stars!
Only two words: Elle Brooks. This should tell you everything you need to know.
Elle is amazingly talented author. And to be honest she is fairly new also! But every single time I read her book I have so many emotions. Love, friendship, lust, heartache, sadness...everything! I thought that her Promises Series is the best ever (it is the most reread series by me), but now? Now I think a new series was born that will be a really close behind it!
The story didn't disappoint me! Sexy guys and adorable, strong female? It's what I love!
In here we meet Robyn, an amazingly talented dancer, whose life is giving a tough lesson. Abandoned by a person who she thought loved her and was supposed to stay with her in good and bad; with his debt and loan sharks after her, with no job and no money. When she starts to lose her hope, fate puts 2 handsome, sexy and successful men. One is not believing in relationship and also is her boss, and other wants to have one with her. After starting her new job in Reveal, a burlesque club, she thinks, no she BELIEVES, that life is finally letting her breathe and live a bit. But she is far from being safe and happy.

Reveal by Elle Brooks, OMG the title basically describes the book in one word.
Elle has a way of keeping you going with this story, it was like going around a rollercoaster but in an amazing way, there is no way I could even move from my Kindle it was that good.
So we have Robyn who is a dancer, she has basically grown up doing that and she loves it. She comes into a problem the minute her boyfriend disappears; she finds that he has run up so much debt that the loan sharks are coming after her. She needs to make more money. Robyn’s friend steps up to the mark and the next thing Robyn knows she is dancing as a burlesque dancer at a club, aptly named “Reveal”
Callum is the owner of this club, no questions asked after he watches Robyn dance, she is hired immediately, and he knows a good dancer when he sees one. Robyn is also very attractive, an attribute that Callum cannot ignore and let’s be honest he doesn’t want to, which surprises the life out of him.
However, there is a sting in the tale; we have another man noticing Robyn, Cole. Ahh Cole the wealthy businessman that would probably give Robyn everything she wants. He is patient, he never pushes Robyn into situations or answers she is not ready for.
Does your head spin yet???, honestly I admired this woman juggling the two men LOL. I must admire Robyn though and the writing by Ms Brooks as at times I couldn’t help wondering OMG what will happen next and No seriously that can’t happen, but to me that is the way a good book should be, constantly keeping you guessing.
Who will Robyn pick though? That is the million dollar question……. I ain’t telling you, you will have to go get the book and read for yourselves. However, I will warn you, I did read and think I knew who would come out the winning man but was surprised at who it actually was…. Cryptic yes because I can be LOL.
The thing is, I couldn’t and didn’t want to put this book down, I had to know more, it was a total head trip but OMG such a good one. I can’t stress enough how good this book was
Elle has written such a good story that you are honestly captivated by it all. The book is full of angst, drama, emotion and is also very sexy.

Reveal is the perfect title for this story. There were so many twists and turns that kept being revealed throughout the entire story. I was glued to my kindle and couldn’t swipe the pages fast enough.
Robyn is a dancer. She has been dancing her entire life. “I’ve danced from the age of six. Ballet, tap, modern, street and anything and everything in between. It’s more than a passion; it’s an obsession bordering on insanity. If I couldn’t dance, I would cease to exist.” When her boyfriend up and disappears, she is left with all of his debt and a loan shark knocking down her door. She turns to a friend and ends up as a burlesque dancer at a club called Reveal.
Callum is the owner of Reveal. He takes one look at Robyn dancing and hires her instantly. He is drawn to her like he’s never been drawn to someone before. “I’m usually much better at not blurring the lines. I guess the thing about Robyn that’s bothering me the most is that I want to blur the lines with her. I want to smudge them so badly that they’re not even lines anymore.”
However, Callum isn’t the only man in Robyn’s life. Enter Cole, a wealthy business man who is everything Robyn should want. He comes into her life at a much needed time. He is such a gentleman though and doesn’t push her further than she is ready even if he wants to. “The thought is tormenting, and although I do want to be his friend, I can’t deny this intense attraction. I think I’d sell my soul to the devil himself to have my lips pressed against hers.”
Between Robyn’s crazy life, and juggling two men, I had to know what was going to happen. I loved this story and couldn’t put it down. The ending especially surprised me. If you love your books to be steamy, full of angst and drama, and be unputdownable, look no farther. This is a must read! (4.5 stars)

*I was given a copy of this book as a gift from Stephanie's Book Reports in exchange for an honest review.
Robyn is a dancer who is struggling to make it in New York City. She is happy and in love right up until the moment her boyfriend, Daniel, disappears leaving her to face a couple of evil loan sharks whom he owes a lot of money. Of course, Robyn tells them that she doesn't have that kind of money, but they don't care. They want their money, and they make it clear to Robyn that they will be holding her responsible for Daniel's debts.
Robyn feels like her life is a living hell. However, an impromptu meeting at her favorite coffee shop shines a little light into her dismal world. Cole is a very charming yet overworked attorney. When he first meets Robyn, he feels an instant connection to her. Even though a relationship is the last thing she wants, she decides she could use another friend. Things continue to improve for Robyn when she lands a job as a burlesque dancer at one of the city's most exclusive clubs. It it her dream job? Of course not, but desperate times call for desperate measures. When she meets her new boss, Callum, the sparks fly. The sexual chemistry between them is off the charts! It is at this point of the story where things take a twisted turn. Trust me, you will not believe what happens.
After reading Elle's other books, I was very excited to read and review her latest creation, and I must say I was not disappointed. The story line of this book drew me in from the very beginning so much so that I read the entire
thing in one sitting! Yes, this book is just that good. One click it now!

Love angst and happy endings? Then this is the author for you. She is semi new to me in the indie book world and I find myself coming back to her books, over and over. So hey, I click with her writing. She writes from her soul, creating a breathtaking romance. She writes with such passion and intensity that she sucks you in from page one and before you know it, the book is over.
This book was amazing. I devoured this book in one sitting. I typically steer clear of love triangles but I am so glad I took a chance because I would have missed out on something spectacular. This book was so much more. It was full of steam, angst, passion, and tons of feels. She wrote a beautiful love story that was super intense and weaved with a ton of twists and turns along the way that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last word.
This is Robyn's story. She is a dancer with the world at her hands until it was all stripped from her, leaving her bare and vulnerable. When she finds herself in a serious predicament, she has no idea that it will set off a chain of events that will forever change her life. She will face obstacles. She will have to make choices. Two men who want her heart. You have to get through the dark to find the light. Get ready for a beautiful, sexy, and passionate love story that will be with you long after it's over.
I highly recommend this book.

It took me a few days to be able to write this review. I wanted to do it justice without giving away any spoilers. Elle Brooks is probably one of my top authors of 2015. If you haven’t read her other books yet I suggest you do! I originally wanted to read this based on the sole fact that I loved the author’s work, she tends to make you feel all of the feels. Well, Reveal is definitely not like the rest! To say I was stunned is an understatement (but in a very good way).
Boy meets girl. Boy wants to date girl. Girl just got out of a SHITTY relationship. Boy promises to take things slow.
Girl meets boy. Boy wants to save her, protect her. Only one problem. He is her boss.
See where this might be going??? WELL! You would be right. LOVE TRIANGLE!!!
Anyone else tend to pick out their favorite when it comes to triangles? Usually you get one that is caring, honest, geniuine. Then you have the opposite side of the spectrum and get the broading, attitude, douche bag type who is usually the hotter one (*sigh). Oh wait, let me get back on track here (hot guys tend to distract me). Seriously though, Elle Brooks takes you on a rollercoaster of excitement. Half of the events that occur in this story you will not see coming. I kept telling myself one more chapter because I needed to see what happened next.
So after you read this, who was your favorite in the beginning? Was he still your favorite in the end? Are you #teamCole or #teamCallum????

Robyn is down on her luck. Her boyfriend, Daniel, has skipped town leaving her with a 10K debt. She is in desperate need of a job to pay it off before they come collecting. In need of a much desired coffee, before an audition, she heads to her local Starbucks. Unfortunately, she spills said coffee all down the front of the cute guy in line with her. Cole wants to buy her another cup but she must hurry to make the tryout. She misses out on that job but gets the opportunity to interview at a local club. "Reveal" is a Burlesque Night Club owned by Callum and he has his best mate Zane to help manage the place.
From here we have a story that entices, entraps and ensnares you from the get go. Elle keeps you captivated with the way she has cleverly written the story with the different character perspectives. There is a plot that seems obvious from the start, but it is the way that she reveals the discovery that has you on the seat of your pants. There are also other twists that you won't see coming and then wonder why, as it all makes sense.
I throughly enjoyed getting the good fortune of reviewing this book, and would recommend it for an exciting read. Well done Elle, I am now off to seek your other books.

5 Suspenseful, Sexy & Revealing Stars
Elle Brooks – what a fabulous, original, and absorbing story. So different to your other work that it really had me transfixed from cover to cover.
I loved Robyn’s story. It’s new, sexy, suspenseful, funny, gritty, intriguing and addictive.
The plot twists and turns are brilliant and the suspense and edginess to the plot was what had me hooked for more.
Robyn is down on her luck and is having a really bad run at life. Will it ever get any better for her? She is broken and almost falling apart. Can she pick up the pieces?
But Robyn is tough, even though she may not seem to be. She needs to move on with life and even though she may be unlucky in some areas of her life – things may just be changing for her when she comes across two sexy as sin men – Callum and Cole.
Which one of these men will be her saving grace?
I loved watching this whole story unfold and the path Robyn’s life takes. All the characters in this story were exceptional. I really hope Ms Brooks decides to write more in this series. Each of these characters could use their own book.
I don’t want to give anything away, but I will say you need to read this for yourself.
Congratulations on a fabulous book.

5 Crazy Ass Must Read Stars!!!!!
This was my first Elle Brooks read. She will be at a signing in Jan 2016 and I wanted to read a couple of her books before I meet her. So when the opportunity to sign up for Reveal's release and blog tour presented itself, I jumped at the chance. Initially, I signed up for the ARC but with things going screwy on Amazon, I just opted to buy it. I'm usually hesitant purchasing books by an author I've never read but my bestie loves her. That was all I needed to know and not hesitate on the one-click.
I'm so glad I didn't just give up and request to do a promo because one-clicking on this was the best decision. I loved the story. It was unique. I loved Elle's style of writing. It sucks you in and makes you lose track of time. (I was late picking up my daughter from swim practice, yikes.). I read it in almost one sitting (stopping only to pick up daughter).
I loved the characters and how well they worked in the story. There were a lot of "Holy Crap" moments that had me gasping and on the edge of my seat, swiping pages fast to see how it turned out. I'm still reeling over certain revelations. I totally didn't see that coming.
Elle Brooks has got herself a new fan and I look forward to the signing in Jan. I'm off to stalk her now. (Hehe)
