People say I have everything.
They’re wrong.
I may have looks, money, and privilege, but I don’t have the one thing that really matters, the one thing I crave: a woman with eyes only for me.
I’m searching for my woman – one who will fall to her knees because I’m her king. She’ll wear the crown of my tarnished name, and long for me when I’m not near. And when I am close, she’ll be naked across my lap, feeling the sting of my palm across her milky skin.
You could say I’m a sinner because I’d do anything to have the perfect woman – compliant to my every need and whim – and I’m envious of every couple who walks around naive to the luxury they have.
That’s why I joined The Elite, the most prestigious brotherhood in the south.
It’s the one place that will give me what I cannot have.
Only…the task assigned to me is too much for my jealous eyes.
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak…they’re for The Elite.
Those who envy have no peace.
My name is Sabastian Westbrook.
I am Envy.
BlueSeal’s Review of Envy
(Surprise it is BlueSeal and not FlyGirl! I hope that you are not disappointed!)
Envy by M. N. Forgy is the fourth book in The Elite Seven Series. The third book, Wrath, left this HEA lover disappointed not to find rainbows and unicorns at the end of the book. Instead, Wrath left me broken-hearted and filled with my own version of wrath due to an unexpected cliffhanger. I was so heartbroken over the cliffhanger that my fellow Wickedcoolflight Crew member, FlyGirl, graciously allowed me to review Envy! By the time this post goes live, it will be afternoon so grab your glass of wine or whiskey, depending on how your Monday went, and let’s chat about Envy.
Envy is the story of Sebastian “Envy” Westbrook of the Westbrook crime family. As a child Sebastian witnessed the brutal murders of his father and mother leaving him to be raised by two people who were not built to be parents. Their idea of parenting was to raise up a boy to be a man as fast as possible. He was told to show no emotion and have only two things in his mind: success and power. After a racing accident takes the lives of two people and lands Sebastian in the hospital, his uncle decides to send Sebastian to New Orleans to attend St. Augustine with the sole purpose of joining The Elite Seven. If Sebastian does this right, he could have everything he’s ever wanted…everyone would want to be him.
I’m just going to put it out there. I don’t like Sebastian. I didn’t like him in Pride or Wrath and I might even hate him a little bit (or a whole lot) after Envy. He is a sick man with a terrible temper who cannot be trusted because he is only looking out for his own best interests. Mason and Sam had soft, vulnerable sides but NOT Sebastian. He is capable of doing horrible things with no second thought.
Again, I love an HEA so I feel the need to warn my fellow HEA lovers…you won’t find one here. Envy is a dark suspense about a terrible man (who I hope will have a life-altering event before the end of the series…see I’m still looking for rainbows and unicorns). It will also leave you with…another cliffhanger. (I really miss reading actual books sometimes because there is such joy is slamming closed the book when you are frustrated with the story-line. Slamming the lid of your eReader just doesn’t provide that same level of satisfaction.) So guess what has happened? My dear friend, FlyGirl, has graciously allowed me to finish this series because I just can’t stop here. I HAVE to see how everything wraps up. I just hope that my heart will survive all of the suspense.
Envy by M. N. Forgy gets 4 out of 5 propellers even though I hate the main character but that character is the result of some really good writing!
The Elite Seven
7 AUTHORS.
7 STORIES.
7 DEADLY SINS.
I was born with wealth, athletic ability, and looks that could melt the panties off a nun.
I had a clear path to success.
Until fate dealt me a cruel blow, leaving me empty and in need of purpose.
My only focus now is to become part of The Elite – a secret society in one of the most prestigious colleges in the world.
But everything comes at a price, and with The Elite, you have to earn your place.
Lucky for me, being sinful is in my DNA.
The only obstacle to full initiation is my task: seduce the un-seducible, the forbidden, and lure her with the sins of the flesh.
Easy for a man like me…in theory.
She started as my task, but what happens when the lines between lust and love blur, and the need for power rages war with the need for her?
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak – they’re for The Elite.
This is my life, my chance, my legacy.
I am Rhett Masters.
I am Lust.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.
But who said the devil was a he?
In my world, she was out to cause havoc on all our lives.
She’ll use the one thing I care most about to control me—force me into her Elite world, filled with sin, deceit, and power. And under her spell, I’ll lead a sinister brotherhood of seven at one of the most prestigious universities in New Orleans.
Seven tasks set forth by the devil herself, promising nothing less than the forbidden fruit of power. What they don’t understand is it will all end in bloodshed and regret.
They call me the alpha. The one in charge. The one with pride bigger than any task I could be given. And my pride won’t let me be anywhere but at the top of the food chain until she gives me what I truly want.
My task is Meghan Thorne.
She’s too pure for me to touch, too good for me to ruin – and the only thing standing in my way to freedom.
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak…they’re for The Elite.
As they say, pride comes before the fall.
I am Mason Blackwell.
I am Pride.
I’m a motherless son to a father who hates me. Fury has lived and breathed in my black heart for so long, it’s a part of my soul now. The only thing that’s ever mattered to me is protecting my twin sister, Sabella, from my father’s temper.
So when the chance to join a secret society presents itself, there’s no question I’ll do whatever it takes to become a member and earn my place in the ranks of only the most Elite.
With a taste for the deviant, I’m drawn to the darkest of desires, and no one ever leaves my bed unscathed.
My task: seduce Patience Noelle, St. Augustine’s sweetheart and the mayor’s beloved daughter – then break her heart.
Sinning is what I live for, and deviance is my passion. Failing has never been an option.
But what happens when my sin becomes my curse – when destroying the only woman I’ve ever wanted is my key to protecting my sister?
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak…they’re for The Elite.
This isn’t just my chance, it’s my legacy and reckoning.
I am Samuel Gunner.
I am WRATH

It was temptation that broke the sinner.

I was born into a world of darkness – one that never touched me when I was around my brother, Mason Blackwell. Leader of The Elite Seven. The thing about darkness, though, is it’s persistent. Eventually, it pushes itself into my life, penetrating my soul and leaving its stench latched to every vein, rooted inside every bone, and sunken into every pore. I thought I reached rock bottom when I fell in love with my brother’s best friend. My very own brand of drug with no comedown. My own nightmare I never woke from. But I was wrong. So very wrong. When I returned to New Orleans, I arrived as a shell of the girl they once knew. Put on a smile. Be the sweet innocent girl they remember.
I’m Evie Blackwell, hostage to my demons. Can the damned be saved?
I’ve done some unforgivable acts in my years, but I never asked for forgiveness. Nothing beats the feeling of wrapping my hand around someone’s throat and watching as their life bleeds down their cheeks. She was everything I should have stayed away from. The first night I saw her, I knew I was doomed – a slave to the girl with the pretty eyes and soft smile. The girl who turned out to be my best friend’s baby sister. I couldn’t stay away. I had to be near her, even if it meant ruining her in the process. I wanted to wreck her, so I could piece her back together – a puzzle only I knew how to solve.
I’m Micah Dixon.
Greed.
I come for everything and get everything I come for – and I want all of her. But she’s changed, and so have I.
I’m much, much worse now…
GREED ByAmo Jones
My life has been served to me on a gold platter to be devoured by my silver spoon.
Money, money, and more money. It’s the backbone of the Goddard name. I’m the only son, so it’s all mine for the taking.
But sometimes money isn’t enough. I always want more, yet nothing seems to satisfy me.
My father has made sure I become a part of The Elite Seven. Where most candidates are chosen, I was given my place. Everything comes at a price, though. Luckily, I can afford any price – no one has more money than God.
The Elite Seven have their initiations. My assignment is personal and beneath me: steal a car and send a warning. It’ll hurt my best friend in the process, but we both made a pact going into this. There’s no line we won’t cross.
My task makes an ugly turn and I nearly take a life. Such a small, unimportant person – someone no one would even notice was gone. She’s a problem my money and power can easily sweep under the rug.
It’s what my father wants. It’s what my brothers want. But when she finally opens those big, innocent brown eyes, I realize I’ve found what I’ve been searching for my entire life. I don’t want my little problem to disappear…I want to keep her.
Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak – they’re for The Elite.
Money is my legacy, but I want something money can’t buy.
I am Baxter Samuel Goddard V.
I am Gluttony.
Not about money or fame, beauty or power. I’ve had all those things since birth, and trust me, they’re a fucking snooze.
I don’t give a fuck about anyone, not even myself.
Until my father proves evil can exist in the most holy of places. For the first time ever, something like interest stirs in my soul.
He wants me to enroll at St. Augustine.
Join The Elite.
Court the virginal daughter of Archbishop Savoie.
Prove to him I’m worth the family name.
I’ll do it all.
And I’ll do it so well, no one will know what’s coming. People are so quick to underestimate the wicked and lazy.
They forget idle hands are the best tools for the devil’s work.
I am Rush Dempsey.
I am Sloth.
