I'll start by saying that this is the first book I have read by Melissa Adam's && this book made me want to dive deeper into her books. Plot twists that I wasn't expecting had me on the edge of my seat.. like "I should be doing this, but let me go ahead and NOT do it" because this book has me so hooked.

I loved Luxe. Sit back, get comfy and indulge your literary senses

I absolutely loved this book Luxe.
I am a huge fan of Melissa Adams and I think she's outdone herself with this one. The layers of the story interweave to make this a fabulous read that had twists and turns that came out of left field (that's a football reference right? Forgive this British readers ignorance).
Be careful what you say as the walls have ears!

Welcome to your next favorite Why Choose! You'll fall for each of these guys and be relieved that Melissa is nice enough to not make us choose! Not only is this a great sports college Why Choose, it's drenched in secrets, desire and luxury. I devoured this book which isn't much of a surprise since anything that's written by Melissa is amazing. Definitely pick this up, you won't regret it!

[Catie Busen · Rating 1 out of 5]

not worth it

I tried. I really did. I just couldn’t get through it. It was not a sports romance and it felt forced.

Dark knights

Melissa Adam’s delivered another thrilling read in this book. I am coming to understand that you’re going to get mystery, spice, action and a really good story.

[Marni Ortiz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well I really was just taken on the ride of my life and completely blown away in all the best ways . Luxe is a Reverse Harem , Secret Society and Dark Sports Romance that not only has the ability to play on all your emotions but will keep you up reading to the early morning hours . It truly is an emotional rollercoaster, you’ll go through so many different emotions while reading ( everything from being speechless, to yelling outta pure frustration. Your heart will feel like it’s beating so fast and then bam being crushed with tears coming down your eyes , you’ll be glued to the edge of your seat anticipating what will happen from one second to the next . And you’ll find yourself rooting so freaking hard . From page one I knew I was in trouble , I felt a pull to Brooke , Wyatt , Roan and Clint I can’t really put into words. Brooke is at college on a cheer scholarship, Wyatt , Roan and Clint are known as the gods on campus and the football team . Each guy is so very different and such complex characters with so many. Different layers. What they do have. In common is the simple fact that all 3 are completely captivated by Brooke . Angst , humor , witty banter , oh so steamy moments, intrigue, suspense, mystery, secrets , lies , danger , love , passion, romance, tragedy, family , friendships , unexpected surprises, and so much more . LUXE has it all in spades

Loved it

This book will draw you in and not let you go. Something is happening here, at this college campus that you just want to know the truth about. The twists and turns about it will leave you on the edge of your seat. Brooke is a strong character and fits in well. The guys definitely have some growing pains, but come together when needed. I couldn't stop reading

[Jennifer Mitsada · Rating 3 out of 5]

Brooke is back to finish her last year of college after having took a gap year. She never thought that she would find herself in the middle of chaos. Starting with the three guys that want her and given that she is equally attracted to them as well, how is she to choose between them. When the guys take her with to the Luxe room, she suddenly finds herself in the middle of a situation that she doesn't want to be a part of, but it's too late, girls that were in the room are dropping like flies and Brooke knows it's only a matter of time and she will be the next one to fall.

For me, this was just an ok read. At one point early in the story, Brooke goes to tryouts without a bra on. CHEER TRYOUTS. There was a whole page dedicated to this, and all I could picture was the scene in The Replacements when the strippers went to tryout and boobs flying all over the place. So, that right there told me that we weren't supposed to take Brooke seriously, which contradicted the whole first scene with Roan. I hung in there for the mystery, wanting to find out just who was behind all the madness, I wasn't invested in Brooke or the guys seeing as there was too much of everything else. I really wanted this to be the 5 star read that other people were saying, but I can't so it gets 3.5 stars.

This book….left me speechless. I didn’t know how I felt about the rich boy secret society the first few chapters. But hot diggity… Roan, Wyatt, and Clint made me understand real quick. Now don’t get me wrong…Brooke holds this book together it’s the men that make her come apart…wink wink…see what I did there? This book is hot, hot, hot. And just because it’s got the steam, does nott mean it’s lacking in story. I was on the edge of my seat seeing who was behind the masks, or how certain secrets would be revealed, or if everyone would even make it out alive. I will read anything this author writes, but this book just bought itself a top spot on my bookshelf. I also loved the fact that we get an epilogue, those are always a bonus star for me. Overall I’d give this a 100 if I could, but a 5/5 will have to suffice.

Luxe

Another amazing book in this world that will have you turning the pages because you just need to know what is going on. Each book is a stand-alone and can be read separately, but they are each worth going down the Rabbit Hole
Brooke is a scholarship student just trying to finish her final year of college, when she meets three of the hottest football players ever. Little does she know that a little murder, mystery, and mayhem is about to follow her. But that’s what college is all about right? I absolutely love this story and couldn't stop reading it

[Jens_Book_Cubby · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a part of the Society of Secrets, which is a series of standalones, each written by a different author, and set in the same world.

I loved this story! It’s intriguing, steamy, unpredictable, and so much more! I seriously could not put it down. The characters are fantastic, as is the storyline and the writing. I would definitely recommend it and cannot wait for more from this author and this series!

Edge of the seat suspense

Luxe





This book will keep you guessing and at the edge of your seat while this group makes their way through the challenging senior year of college.

Ronan, Clint, and Wyatt are men that grew up together and are as close as brothers and they all tumble head over heels for Brooke.

There are surprises and suspense waiting for you to explore with them. 

[Kokom1 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was fantastic. A RH with three spicy love interests that are hot, athletic and super rich. In comes the beautiful cheerleader on scholarship that’s unfazed by their wealth and we get fireworks. Throw in some suspense, unsolved crime, drugs, a secret society, danger and a lot of sex and we have ourselves a book you won’t want to put down.

[Melanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is another series I am going to really enjoy reading by Melissa Adams. Each book in this series is a standalone. This one follows Brooke, a scholarship student trying to just get through her last year in college, but not everything goes to plan once she has met the three hottest football players. Safe to say her last year isn't going to the way she planned out it was. Another great read

[Sue Harbers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Luxe was a perfect standalone RH! There’s so much packed into this story. I love the morals and ideals that Brooke and the guys stand by, especially faced with the facts in this story. There was a lot to keep you guessing all the way up to the very end of the story. The guys were great, they were each very different from each other but each held a strong connection to Brooke. Great standalone!

[Katy Jenkins]

This is the first book I have read is this standalone series and I was hooked from the very beginning of the story! It’s spicy and twisty and had me on the edge of my seat! The characters and storyline are magnificent. And the ending was definitely not what I saw coming and I loved that the author was able to throw such a curveball and surprise me.

[Andrea Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ok, seriously...as you may know Melissa is one of my one-click authors, but this book! Oh my goodness! It may be one of my absolute favorites from her! The suspense is a great touch! And the storyline kept me on the absolute edge of my seat! It's well written, of course, and the characters are so great! I couldn't put it down! SOO GOOD! RUN OUT AND GET THIS ONE!!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️🙌

[June McKibben · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is another great read in this series with deadly games. Brooke is a scholarship student that the Luxe Knights are interested in. We have mystery surrounding their secret society and chemistry. This book does not disappoint.

[Kayleigh henderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is set in the world of society of secrets. It's is part of a collection of standalone books and can be read separately. It's is page turner which will not let you put down until you are done. Leaving you want more from this world. Would recommend.

[Libby Fowler · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved every single thing about this book! The characters, the storyline, it had me hooked from start to finish.
I really like Brooke our FMC I just think she’s lovely. I definitely have a favourite guy though which is Wyatt 😍

[Rachel Stephens · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!
The secrets and twists kept me guessing. I didn't want to put it down. There was mystery, suspense, angst, steam and more! The spicy scenes were 🔥 🥵! I loved the banter and relationships between Brooke and the guys. Also told in multiple POVs.
Great read!!

[Charlene Ackerley · Rating 5 out of 5]

incredible read

Wow this book is amazing I’m loving the SOS world and Melissa did a fantastic job with luxe I loved every minute and couldn’t put it down would highly recommend to anyone that likes dark RH

[Kayleigh Bryant · Rating 1 out of 5]

Silly, unbelievable plot with a ridiculous twist that is so poorly thought out it's cringey. The characters have zero development and only mildly hot spice. The banter is lacking in energy but not in frequency and there's a whole intimate and painful conversation had with one mmc while another is actively inside the fmc for his first group experience. Completely off the rails.

The drug kingpin plot reads like what a child might think a spy movie is about. Dislodged from reality in every way.

I almost dnf'ed so hard but it's a 5 hour read tops so I just trudged along. But there wasn't a single thing I liked about this story.

The fmc's POV was the worst. The tone is so preachy and holier than thou, there's slut shaming and party shaming and just an overall moralistic superiority that was icky.

Edit: came back for more rant.

The main characters constantly talk verbally and in inner monologue about how it's totally cool with them to love who you love but they are totally straight. Once is fine. Multiple times throughout the whole book reads a bit phobic.

The fmc's boobs are another unnecessary constant topic of conversation. Again one mention is fine, regularly bringing it up is weird. And it must be known that her boobs are superior to all others because the other girls in her circle have small breasts. Even while the fmc is witnessing another girl gets sexually assaulted her inner voice says the abuser grabbed her friend's "small breasts." Gross.

All of the female side characters are devices to make the fmc look good and there's so much anti feminist rhetoric that it just feels like the "she's not like the other girls, she's superior" trope. Gag. Barf.

[✨Vanessza✨ · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was looking for a short book that grants fun time while reading…😅well I’m not sure this would be the one that I would pick up if I’d know the writing style. I saw great potential in the story, hence why I finished it. The plot wasn’t doing it for me🤨 I didn’t understand the plot twist regarding the heroin at the near end, the love interest between them was too forthcoming for my taste but I’ll admit the spice was on point tho🥵 I think the only thing that kept me entertained until the end was the chapters that had spice in them.
Overall it was an okay read, 2,5⭐️

[Jackie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great why choose book set in a college with a secret society thrown in to keep you guessing. Brooke meets Wyatt, Roan & Clint and the chemistry is undeniable between them, so much so that they decide to all date her and compete to be the one she chooses in the end. The characters are relatable and interesting and the story is full of twists and turns to keep you hooked. I did feel the ending was a bit rushed but overall I enjoyed the book.

[Brooke · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was fine. The writing was honestly really bad and that’s what made me not enjoy this. The plot of this was entertaining, but a little ridiculous(there was this plot twist that I didn’t see coming, but was so ridiculous I was laughing). The romance was fine, like I didn’t really feel any chemistry. The spicy dialogue and scenes was just not the greatest. I wouldn’t really recommend this one there’s just so many better RH romances in my opinion.
