Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude is the prequel to the Elegant series by Tee Smith. This is a novella, which makes it a very quick and easy read. This is my first read by Ms. Smith, and even though there wasn’t a ‘lot’ happening in this story due to it being a novella, it does lay the foundations for the rest of the series and has intrigued me enough to want to read the next instalment/s.
Denim Gargliano is a bit of an enigma, but as the story unfolds, we get a glimpse of the man behind the rumours and reputation. What I saw, I really liked. He has been thrust into the world his father built and Denim is making his way through it as best he can, on his terms. The illegal operations hiding behind legitimate businesses. We are drawn into Denim’s world and experience it alongside him. The ending was particularly interesting as it sets up the next book, and I can’t wait to get my hand on it.

Thank you, Ms. Smith!

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude (Elegant Series – Prequel) by Tee Smith is a contemporary romance story with a little mystery and suspense. I enjoy reading prequels as they flesh out and give you more insight to the characters and what makes them tick. Denim, our main character, is a complex and a rich and successful business man who is larger than life and through his nature and compassion those around him become loyal to him. Tee has a story that is a good start to the Elegant Series and I can’t wait to become more acquainted with the man of the hour.

I read Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude (Elegant Series- Prequel) before reading the series and perhaps I should have read it AFTER I read the series. I will come back and update this review after I read the full series.

This prelude was a bit confusing. There are many characters introduced, but there is no explanation why everyone is running around all willy nilly. I THINK I understand where the author was going with some of the characters, I assume they are introduced in depth in the series, but it was just confusing as to where they went. There was a lot of detail about them and then *poof* nothing. It has definitely peeked my interest though and I will be checking out the series.

I can’t tell if the protagonist is a good guy or a bad guy. What are his motivations? What’s with his whining brother? What’s with that random gal calling out of the blue? Why is his mother the way she is? I have questions…

I have to admit I do like it when authors write prequels to stories especially if the main character is quite complex and we, as readers, get to find out more about them ready for the series to begin. I loved seeing into the mind of Denim and I can tell this is going to be a series that I am going to enjoy. After reading the blurb I think I had a preconceived idea of what Denim was going to be like but I was wrong and I loved that I was!
I found this novella hard to put down and it has definitely got me ready for more from this series! I can’t wait to get to know Denim more – I have a feeling I am going to love him!

5 out of 5 stars

The story Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude (Elegant Series- Prequel) by Tee Smith is a contemporary romance book. It includes suspense and also mystery. It will have you turning pages to find out what happens next. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I enjoyed reading about the character of Denim. He is a successful businessman. He has money and power. Is that enough or does he find himself wanting more? He investigates rumors and also makes deals. Those that he employs are loyal. This is a prequel that is novella sized however the character of Denim is larger than life and the story is one that you don’t want to miss out on. Highly recommended reading.
