Book Review: Luxe

 


Behind an obscure black door lies a world far removed from the ordinary. Luxe, an exclusive BDSM club tucked within Boston’s notorious Club Euphoria Gentlemen’s Club, offers its elite members a playground where anything goes. Here, employees revel in risqué games with their clients, shedding the constraints of the real world to embrace a dark, twisted realm of limitless possibilities.


Nico, one of Ian Knight’s most trusted bodyguards, frequents Luxe in his spare time. His visits have fostered a close bond with Roxy Valentine, a former cocktail waitress at Club Euphoria who now navigates the club’s clandestine underground expansion. After surviving a near-fatal incident, Roxy returned to the club, seeking Ian’s permission to work in this secretive space as she delves into her own sexuality. With Nico’s guidance, Roxy embarks on a journey of self-discovery at Luxe, uncovering more than she ever anticipated.

Although this novella is part of the Club Euphoria series, it can also be read as a standalone. This book is only a steamy read without the complexities of the Club Euphoria plot.

This book contains severely graphic sexual content. Please check the book page on the author's website vbemanuele.com for a full list of trigger warnings.


My Review

Having read all of the prior books in this series including the most recent, Scarred Hearts. I was very excited to read this novella. I got introduced to Club Luxe briefly in that book and could not wait to see this darker, sexier club. This novella did not disappoint. 

V.B. did warn that this novella is heavy with smut. She was not wrong. I love the titles of each chapter that hints at what is to come next between Roxy and Nico. 

It was great to see Roxy emerge from her shell and let her uninhabited side come out. A confident woman is a sexy woman. Nico may be an experienced Dom but the way that he slowly made Roxy comfortable and eased her into saying what she wanted was great. Luxe stands for...Lust, Ultra, X-Rated, Entertainment!
