Behind the ivy-covered walls at Stonewall University, the future of the world is in the hands of a very select few.
The Scorpio Society
Even the name is enough to bring the strongest of men and politicians to their knees.
With billionaire bad boys, students and teachers engaged in illicit affairs, underground fighters struggling to break free, and more complications than you can count, The Elites Series has a little bit of everything.

Elizabeth Knox is a USA Today Bestselling romance author who specializes in romantic suspense, and dark romance. She’s well-known for her intense page-turning motorcycle clubs, and sinister dark mafia books.
While Elizabeth loves to write, she is an avid reader as well, who reads a mixture of genres. She lives on a farm with her husband in the northeastern United States with her rescue animals. When she isn’t working, you can find her horseback riding, riding ATVs, or out on the farm with her animals.
I have no words. This anthology was amazing!!!!! It's based around Stonewall University where all is not as it seems. Danger, drama, intense, steamy, biker, mafia and so addictive.
I first heard Stonewall University in one of Elizabeth Knox's books and the events that happened to the heroine in that story. Now Sex and Ember are at the center of it and when something happens to Ember, Dec knows exactly what he needs to do. I really hope I get to read more about Dec and Ember.
Legacy by Brynne King and Angela Sanders
This is part one of Legacy, Rylie and Roman's story. I really can't wait to see what the Scorpio Society is all about.
Chaos and Corruption by Janine Infante Bosco
The plot thickens this story with a,few familiar faces. We get a,taste into the true inner workings of Stonewall University. I can't wait to read this story in its entirety.
The Promise by Anna Edwards and Claire Marta
This is Harper, Dex's half Sister and Tobias' story. This story is a deeper look into the The Scorpio Society and their inner workings. It is also their full-length story. The two are amazing and I loved their twists and turns their story took.
Our Salvation by Addison Jane and KE Osborn
This is Koda and Thayleah's story is a mix of two MCs from two amazing authors. Their story is so different for so many reasons. I absolutely loved this story and I can't wait to read more from these two authors.
Her Striker by Charlene Raquel
This book was a wild rollercoaster ride that definitely kept me in my toes. You think that getting answers would be simple, but not when they involve the Scorpio Society. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Fealty by Kathleen Kelly
In this story, we get more Wraith, Ann and Savannah. If you haven't read Wraith, I highly recommend that you do. This time Wraith takes on Stonewall University when his daughter get an "invitation" to attend the prestigious school. I have missed these characters and it was a wild ride catching up with them.
Sting of Beauty by Sonya Jesus
This story has so many layers and an unsolved murder. But in order to know who did it, you'll ha e to wait for the next book, A Sting of Tears, to be released.
Chaos & Corruption by Janine Infante Bosco Omg omg omg. I was not expecting that!!! I was madly turning pages from the first to the last, by the end I was ready to throw my kindle as I couldn't believe how it ended. Dying for the extended version already, definitely a must read!!
The Promise by Anna Edwards & Claire Marta This was a captivating story. You never would of guessed it was written by two authors as it flowed together seamlessly. I adored both the characters and plot so I hope this isn't their only venture together.
Fealty by Kathleen Kelly I absolutely adored seeing these characters again (you first meet them in Wraith). Although this author excels at writing MC, I truly hope she writes more like this as I can never get enough. A great intro story for new to her readers and a treat for long time ones.
The MC of the book is Stonewall University and behind its walls we will meet several members of the Scorpio Society, a elite group to which the rich and powerful belongs and that has a lot of power within those walls and throughout the world, managing the lives of many people, and changing the course of the world.

A great collection of stories with intriguing action packed suspenseful plots through out. Really it's a lotto winning book because you get so much bang for your buck. Alot of these authors are new to me and I must say this was a great way of dipping my toes into different authors and getting a taste of their writing styles.
Our salvation was the one I enjoyed the most and having read Addison's book before I was already aware and loved her style of writing plus the twist with KE Osbornes style.. they meshed together perfectly!.
Koda and Thayleah's story certainly didn't disappoint. I was curious as to how they would broach a relationship given Thay's past traumas but I feel like it was done beautifully and I really loved how Koda was a big part of her healing. Their relationship hit quickly but build slow and steady. It was sweet to read their romance blossom and find they had more in common than they thought. The chemistry is INTENSE and the connection just beautiful. They brought out the best in eachother and it was sweet to read. Add in the crazy action, unexpected surprises and a few familiar faces and it sure did make for an interesting read. It also have me curious about certain characters.
I really enjoyed this. Not every book was my favourite but they are all good books and well written with good character development and plot progression. It's definitely worth a read and the best part you get a little of everything!.
An amazing collection of authors providing all the passion, intrigue and drama to devour. I’m just beginning my journey with this impressive collection and am excited to experience every incredible moment.
Our Salvation by Addison Jane & K.E. Osborn: Loved experiencing Koda’s journey to figure out what he wants and how to embrace the family legacy in the MC. Heading to Stonewall for college is a turning point. Meeting Thayleah at a frat party is his destiny. Thayleah is a survivor and found a family with an MC club in Arizona. Her dream was always to go to Stonewall which they made happen. At a vulnerable moment, she looked up and into Koda’s eyes and found peace. These two find a wonderful connection and as they work to build a relationship, Koda stumbles into the secret Scorpio Society which puts everything at risk. Will Koda be able to solve this mystery on his own? I loved this couple and how they worked together to find their future.
I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
This great collection of stories and authors that centres around the Stonewall University and the Scorpio Society will have you captivated and gripped to the pages. I indulged in Dex's Devotion by Elizabeth Knox and Our Salvation by Addison Jane and KE Osborn. Dex's Devotion was intriguing, dark, full of mystery and had plenty of twists and turns. Dex and Ember leave you wanting and hoping for more. As I moved from there onto Our Salvation by Addison Jane and KE Osborn this had me immersed also into the worlds of the Club Girl Diaries and The Houston Defiance MC. Koda and Thayleah's story is one of moving on and embracing the choices that life offers. As these two meet a connection is formed and the chemistry is electric between them. These two authors do what they do best together and the storyline flowed flawlessly. A story with action, drama, secrets and combining two worlds with a new one to have you totally captivated. An overall great collection of stories that will please everyone that likes a touch of darkness and suspense.
The following review is for The Promise by Anna Edwards and Claire Marta. I absolutely loved this story set in the world of a secret, elite Society. The world itself is fascinating and the premise of the story was original and gripping.
I couldn’t stop reading....I was so desperate to uncover the truth behind the secrets and lies. Harper could have come across as a weak victim, but she grew up in the company of bikers and I loved her spirit and strength in adversity. As for Tobias, it’s not only his computer skills that are off the chart. These two face so many trials together and apart, and I loved seeing their characters and their relationship grow and develop over the course of the story.
The Promise was a thrilling and captivating read, and I highly recommend this collection on the strength of this story. I can’t wait to read the rest of the The Elites, with contributions from so many fantastic authors...I received an advanced copy of The Promise from the authors.
This is a really great anthology! The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that not all stories were standalones. There were some cliffhangers and that drives me nuts. It sounded from the blurb that they would be complete stories but not all are. I loved the heavy bully/MC vibe to most of the stories. There were some that I really loved and a couple that were just okay but overall I did enjoy all of the anthology. There were a great mix of stories from both sides of the Society. I thought that gave a great well rounded feel to the anthology. Some new to me authors that I'm excited to check out and some past favorites. There really is something for everyone in here. It's definitely worth checking out! I would highly recommend it, even with the few cliffhangers.
Sometimes Anthologies can end up being a bit meh for me.. this was not the case with The Elites! A few "new to me authors" that I will not be binging and some of my absolute favorites are a part of this one and I honestly cannot say enough how much I enjoyed reading this anthology.
Our Salvation by KE Osborn & Addison Jane: Ya'll when these two write together I get extremely excited and when I found out they were crossing over their Houston Defiance MC Series with their Brothers by Blood Phoenix Series... DEAD. Thayleah & Koda and their story was full of growing up, explosive chemistry and tons of twists and turns! These two authors never disappoint. SO GOOD!
Welcome to Stonewall University where secrets are everywhere. This is a great boxset by some fantastic authors. My favorites were Dex’s Devotion, Voodoo Vixen and Evil Is Hot. These stories are filled with suspense, lies, secrets, blackmail, threats, shocking truths, lust, love and some twists. This is a place that has it’s secrets and once you know their secrets, there is no way out, other than death. If you don’t do what needs to be done, there is consequences. Dive into the world of the rich and powerful.
I decided to review this collection of stories because I was curious about Brynne King. She is April Canavan's darker alter ego. She co-wrote the story "Legacy Part 1" with Angela Sanders. The title implies a cliffhanger at the end. But the story itself had a pretty good conclusion that I would say does not leave you hanging in frustration so much as leaves you looking at the horizon from the cliff into what looks like could be a pretty good series I am definitely going to look up. The story itself is a very short seven chapters.
In this story, Rylie is a psych major doing "research" at an underground fight. She gets into some pretty big trouble and lands in the hands of Roman, one of the fighters, who also happens to be part of some mysterious group called the Scorpio Society. Their association leads to some steamy scenes and some murders. In the end, the innocent are avenged and the bad people, well, they are taken care of. In just seven chapters, Brynne and Angela managed to weave a pretty good story and introduction to the Scorpio Society.
Now I'm hooked.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The Elites is a 13 book series put into one amazing package. Once I started reading these stories about the residents at Stonewall University, I did not want to put this book down. Complicated, amazing characters living lives of secrets, surprises, suspense and steam.... the more I read the deeper I fell, never wanting the journey to end. Every tale was linked by location and a couple characters that appear throughout the series. Some stories are full novels while others are more of a tantalizing taste of a story that will be continued in the author's future books. I enjoyed every page.
This review is for one book in the anthology right now. It was an action packed story from Addison and KE's worlds combined. We meet Thayleah, from Addison's Phoenix Club Girls series. And our hero is from KE's Houston Defiance MC series. Koda is a fantastic hero. He's in need of stretching his wings and learning his place. Thayleah is also in need of moving on with life. They meet and it's fireworks. Their chemistry is great, the storyline flows nicely with lots of secrets, dreams, and action. And bonus, getting to reunite a little in both MC worlds at times.
This is a collection of stories by various authors with all the characters based at Stonewall University where the Scorpio society rules not just the halls. some stories involve characters from already established series/crossovers some are brand new! settle in for bad boys, sassy girls! billionaires, taboos, bikers, mafia and more! you'll find something for most tastes and its the very best from these great authors!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
So I am loving these Anthology books. I have found a few new authors. I love seeing how the different authors are writing these stories all around the common Stonewall theme. I have both loves and hated the Scorpio Society. Only because these talented group of authors has pulled me in with such different perspectives I am dying to read more of these authors books. Thanks for the teasers.

The Promise by Anna Edwards and Clair Marta. Tobias Richardson comes from a wealthy family that is part of the Stonewall Society. Harper Stonewall was given away at birth, not knowing her parents Viper and Slater who are part of a biker club brought her up. Worlds apart you would never put them together. But years prior papers were signed and she be handed over to Tobias on her 18th birthday. It's a great short read, with plenty going on.
This is a great collaboration of authors. Each story is at Stonewall University where a secret society runs it all. Each author brings her own brand of making you dislike the Scorpion Society,with the twist,turns and surprises you encounter it keeps you hooked wanting more. Hopefully each author will expand their story.
These are all stories about Stonewall University and Scorpio Society. The Scorpio Society are the good guys in some, the bad guys in others. My only wish is that more of them were complete stories.
Dex’s devotion The beginning of Dex and Ember’s story, which part of is told in Choosing Nerd. There is a “to be continued” ending. Some big stuff is thrown at Dex when he starts college. Meeting Ember is a huge bonus, especially since she knows the MC life. Anyone who has read the earlier books know she is traumatized by a horrible attack, but Dex is amazing. Love this group is guys.
Legacy Part 1 Rylie is really tough and very funny. I love Roman going all in immediately. The story has some seriously amusing moments.
Chaos and Corruption Huge cliffhanger ending. Victoria shows a lot more guts than brains when she decides to take down the Scorpion Society. Alex involves himself with her investigation, falling for her along the way. Her family is a riot.
The Promise Tobias is very unyielding with Harper for a bit. Their marriage was arranged when they were small children. Harper is rebelling against the whole thing for as long as Tobias is unyielding. They’re a force to be reckoned with together, even at such young ages. He definitely found a bit of a romantic in himself by the end.
Our Salvation Kids and Thayleah are both new students and both living in MCs before college. He immediately helps her out of a panic attack. They are a great match in pretty much every way. There is some regular college drama and Scorpio Society drama after the SS decide he will make a good addition. I also liked the characters Brady and Tinsley.
Her Striker Drew and Gwen haven’t communicated since she refused to leave with him three years ago. He is extremely bitter about the whole thing. Drew has transferred to Stonewall to find out how his brother really died and ends up targeted by the Scorpios as he is a legacy. Not much goes as planned, but luckily he has his best friend Dean backing him up, things change with Gwen, and her friend Sam is along for the ride.
Fealty This is most definitely not a romance. He goes by many names, but Wraith is the most accurate and he will do whatever he has to do to take care of his daughter. He has a woman he loves and he loves her son and will keep them safe too. Keeping his daughter Ann safe has been complicated and just got more complicated with Jonathan Stonewall in the picture wanting to use Wraith for his own agenda.
Sting of Beauty Kind of a romance. Crux and Tatum are still mourning a loss from two years ago that keeps rearing its head. Lyra is a student paying her way as an escort and being pulled into Scorpio Society whether she wants it or not with the machinations of Crux’s mother. Crux and Lyra being drawn together may not work out for the best for anyone. Tatum and Crux, who are best friends, can be absolutely hysterical. Cliffhanger ending.
Unseen Cruelty Ian is tasked with retrieving a Scorpio Society member’s daughter as part of his requirements for joining. What he doesn’t know is the horror waiting for Delilah when she gets there. He definitely gets a bit of a hero complex when it comes to her, but they are a perfect match. And he definitely proves the lengths he’ll go to for her.
Evil is Hot This story is pretty warped—one twin forced to live the identity of the other, to literally not exist as his own person. I didn’t love this story, but it wasn’t bad. The transitions didn’t flow well to me. I like the three-way relationship aspect and then together is pretty hot.
A Deadly Game Few chapter intro to a story. Former childhood best friends are now at odds when is nasty after she transfers to Stonewall. He gets pretty over the top.
Voodoo Vixen This story gets pretty hot, especially the final limo scene. Professor/student relationships are frowned upon, but not forbidden and Callum takes full advantage. This semester he picks Delaney, only he gets a lot more than he bargained for. This could have been a complete story, but is a lead in to a full length story.
Dex and Ember take you to Stonewall University and this book gives you all the intense emotions, a little action, and so many twist it will have you wanting more. Whennthese two ladies come together they given you it all. I can't wait to read more of this book.

Delany and Callum is a hot, steamy, full,of twist and turns, you won't be able to stop reading it. I was pulled right in and wanted so much more. These two are the perfect match for each other but will they crash and burn or will they be able to soar.
Behind the walls of Stonewall University the Scorpio Society rules all, but with each story you don't know who is telling lies and hiding bigger secrets.
I am reviewing, The Promise by Anna Edwards and Claire Marta.
WOW I ABSOLUTELY LOVED it.
These two authors always write so well together and I always get pulled into their stories, this had so many things that I love in a book, drama, suspense, dark, steamy, page turner, great characters, leaving you wanting more...
I can't wait to read the rest of this anthology, there are authors that are new to me, so I am excited to read their stories.
A great series that contains plenty of power, violence, exploitation and sexual content (as well as romance). Well written and easy to read and understand.
Dex's Devotion - Elizabeth Knox & E.C. Land - 4* This first book in the series introduces us to Ember and Dex who are at college and follows how they become members of the Scorpio Society and what is required for them to join. Easy to read and understand. A little hard to follow in places.
Legacy - Brynne King & Angela Sanders - 5* In this part 1 of the book Legacy, Roman and Rylie meet and it becomes clear that they belong together. By the end of this story, Rylie has passed the test to get into the Scorpio Society and just need to get past the initiation. Sparks definitely fly between these two! Contains explicit sexual content.
Chaos and Corruption - Janine Infante Bosco - 4* This is the start of a book that will be published later in the year. Lots of twists, drama and danger. Ends on a sad note so I really hope there is happiness in the full version.
The Promise - Anna Edwards & Claire Marta - 5* Harper, Dex’s half-sister, is promised to marry Tobias Richardson when she was only 5 because both belong to important families for the Scorpio Society. Harper was raised in an MC, but now that she has turned 18 it’s time to go live with the family of her future husband. Harper is not happy with the future chosen for her and so she rebels whenever she can. This was a great story to show the inner workings of the Scorpio society and is full of twists and turns.
Our Salvation - Addison Jane & KE Osborn - 5* This is the story of Koda when he is at college and what happens to him there. There are some fairly major happenings and as part of that, he has to grow up and stand on his own two feet. The Scorpio Society are also involved plus he meets fellow student Thayleah who quickly becomes his girlfriend. Full of danger and drama. Ties in nicely with the Houston Defiance MC series by KE Osborn.
Our Salvation by Addison Jane & K.E Osborn ✯✯5 Pineapple Filled Starred!!!✯✯
Anthologies are good and bad for me LOL. I love it Bc my favorite authors are putting out new book’s and a lot of the time I’ll find new ones to read but I hate that they’re usually short stories or novels. Either I gotta wait for the whole book to be released whole or that’s it. Can’t help it I’m greedy LOL.
I read Our Salvation by my two favorites Addison Jane and K.E Osborn. I’ve been waiting for awhile for them to co-write a new book for year’s!! I feel like it’s Christmas morning LOL.
I been waiting for Koda Walker to get a book since book one of K.E Osborn’s Houston Defiance MC . He’s the President Zero’s younger brother. The club has had some hard time’s lately and Koda has been hurt. His brother Zero and sister Prinie decided it’s good for him to go away for him to see what he want’s to do next.
Koda ends up going to Stonewall University. He joined track and field Bc he loves to run. It’s there he meets Brady, who’s big man on campus.
Koda gets dragged to a party by Brady but before they get there they stop by Brady’s dads house. Koda gets a bad feeling the minute he meets Brady’s dad and knows he’s gotta keep his guard up and eye’s open. Koda also meets Tinsley, Brady’s cousin and her roommate Thayleigh.
Koda can tell immediately Thayleigh’s struggling. He sees something in her eyes and they mirror what’s in his. He learns quickly that she’s from another club called Brothers by Blood the Phoenix Chapter.
After talking with Zero he learns there’s no bad blood between the club’s and she’s not off limit’s. They get close real quick.
Koda finds out that there’s a secret society in Stonewall Academy called The Scorpio Society and it’s not a God group for Koda to get involved in. For him or his club. He tries staying far away from it but there’s people in high places that want Koda and Defiance. When they threaten to go after anybody Koda cares about aka Thayleigh he pushes her away until he can figure out his next move.
Thayleigh’s life hasn’t been easy. Her sister was killed in front of her and she would’ve been next if the Brothers of Blood didn’t rescue her. Her sister had a son with the President of the club. After her sister died him and the rest of the guy’s in the club took her in and treat her as one of their own.
They’re even helping pay for her to go to Stonewall Academy. She’s happy to have them in her life.
Thayleigh has a lot to work through and thought she had them under control until her roommate took her to ER uncle’s house on the way to a party. Seeing all the men in suits brings back memories she wishes she didn’t have.
When a gorgeous guy in a leather jacket named Koda realizes and help’s her she relaxes. When she learns he’s from another club and there’s no beef between the two she’s even better.
Thayleigh feels safe with Koda. Whenever he look’s at her he knows what she’s feeling or thinking.
When Koda break’s up with her she’s blindsided. She won’t let him see her cry.
When she see’s her roommate is in trouble she knows she’s gotta help her anyway she can. Thayleigh realizes that the same Scorpio Society that want’s Koda has gotten their claws into her roommate.
When things are The Scorpio Society don’t go as planned with Koda those at the top loose their cool and go after Thayleigh. Koda will do whatever it takes to get her back.
Koda Koda Koda!!!! He might only be 19 but he’s the perfect Defiance brother. I loved seeing him realize it. I love Thayleigh as well. She’s been thru a lot but seeing her realize it and learn how to mostly control it was great to see. I’m going to enjoy seeing Thayleigh open up and grow with the guys and girls in Defiance and watch Koda go thru his next step of prospecting.
I read this book in one day. It was so good and I can’t wait to see what Addison Jane and K.E Osborn write next.
This is an amazing anthology of great authors who bring stories filled with drama, suspense, danger, twists, action, love, and intense tales which are all entertaining. DE’s Devotion - Elizabeth Knox & E.C. Land This is Dex and Ember’s story and how they meet at Stonewall University. Ember has been traumatised by a horrific event, and Dex know exactly what he must do. This story goes on to when they both work for Scorpio Society. This is a well written seamless story by this talented duo of author’s, who work so well together. This story is amazing, and filled with action, twists, and love, which all leads to an intense and all-consuming page turner, I look forward to reading more from these gifted authors whose work I highly recommend.

A scintillating collection of stories with strong connections throughout, lead ins (or continuations) to other series and stories and expansions in authors existing worlds.
There were only 2 authors in this collection I have previously read the works of but I’m definitely going to be looking at the wider books of the rest of them from now on. In fact, this book may have ruined my 2021 for books as I think my docket is now full....
All the stories were well written and whilst some were more strongly connected than others, all worked really well. I especially thought that the crossover characters when written by different authors worked superbly.
Some difficult topics, steamy scenes and uncomfortable situations but if you have read MC books, this won’t be anything out of your comfort zone.
Well written and a frustration that for those stories with a book extension to come, the publishing dates are quite far out for some.
Well worth the money

A collection of stories by mostly 'new to me' authors centered around Stonewall University and the elite and secret Scorpion Society.
I bought this collection based on one story by two authors who done a co-write - I've read other stories by these two authors so I knew it would be good and it really was.
The Promise by Anna Edwards and Claire Marta is brilliantly written. It's Harper and Tobias's story. It was said years ago, when they were only 5 years old that they would be married when they were older. Now that they're older, how willing will they be to keep the promises that were made? I loved Harper and Tobias. Their story was captivating from the very start. I loved all the different elements that were in play - dark, BDSM, arranged marriage, an MC. All the secrets to reveal, the twists - I loved it all!
Based on this story and the secrets, lies and twists within it I would highly recommend this collection. I'm now going to go and dive into some more of the The Elites.
With a multi-author anthology you sometimes get the good with the bad. Not all of these stories were complete, rather they were precursors to future stories. However, we luckily get a few complete stories which made me happy. My absolute favorite was Our Salvation by Addison Jane & K.E. Osborn. This was a great crossover between the Club Girl books and Houston Defiance MC. Another good entry was Dex’s Devotion. We kind of knew these characters from other stories by these authors and this is one of those to be continued stories. Looking forward to seeing where it will go. One of the entries Fealty wasn't really a romance. And there were a LOT of MC stories, which is odd with this high society college.

Wow! Amazing! Captivating are the words I would use to describe this spectacular anthology. It has fantastic stories by every author involved in this project. You literally can not go wrong. There is something for every reader. I discovered some authors that I hadn't read before but will now. That is always wonderful when it happens. It's based around Stonewall University where all is not as it seems. It will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. The stories have plenty of anger, betrayal, drama, fear, doubt, lust, love and some wicked twists and turns. You will be on the edge of your seat as you read each book! So make sure you have a cold drink, tissues and a pillow before you start. For when you need to cool off, dry a tear or two and a place to scream and /or throw your kindle as you get caught up in this anthology. A definite must have!!!
