My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Elegantly Demin by Tee Smith a four-star read that you will enjoy. This is a prequel to the elegant series, and it shows promise for a good series. It is quick and easy to read, but there is a lot to get through in such a short number of pages, it shows promise for the series but as a stand-alone it’s a little lost. Demin is certainly someone I want to hear more about and from, and I cant wait to read more from this series.

4 Stars

This is the first book that I have read from this author. It is a short novella, a prelude to the Elegant Series. This story gives us a deeper understanding of the heart and mind of Denim Gargliano. He is making his way through his father’s empire of drugs, violence and power, slowly taking over. Deep down, he truly is a good guy. He wants to help everyone. He has to learn who to trust and know that everyone has a price. Even though the book was short, I think it did a good job of laying the foundation for the rest of the series. The introduction of Lili at the end of the book was a smart move on the author’s part. She has piqued my curiosity to found out who she is and what she will become to Denim. Looking forward to reading the rest of the instalments.

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, by Tee Smith, is the introduction to the Elegant series. This contemporary romantic suspense sets the stage for the series in such a fashion that is intriguing. This novella will leave questions of where the series will take the reader, but it provides the peak into where the series will look to start. The character personalities were not fully detailed, but appeared flawed, yet beautifully done. After finishing this prequel, I am now deeply curious to see where this author takes me next through the series.

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.

Elegantly Denim is the prequel to Tee Smith’s Elegant series. The story is short but effective, starting off with excitement and holding the reader’s interest throughout. This is the kind of story you don’t want to put down until it’s finished.
I felt like Elegantly Denim did a great job giving the reader a sense of the author’s writing style and setting the tone for the series. I am not entirely sure how I feel about Denim’s character as a whole, I went back and forth about him a few time. Couple my uncertainty with the intrigue of the storyline and I am curious to see how the rest of the Elegant series unfolds. I will most definitely be reading more from Tee Smith.

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…

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude is the prequel to the Elegant series by Tee Smith. This is the first book I have read by Tee Smith and I’m looking to reading the rest of this series and more. This book took me by surprise, it was fast paced with witty dialog, but also a dark side to it. I loved the mix of emotions this book brought and left me wanting to know more about all the characters introduced in this short story. Denim is a most interesting guy, that I want to learn more about him. This story is just the beginning to what I’m sure is going to be a very interesting story. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude by Tee Smith is the prequel to the Elegant series. I have had this book in my Kindle for a while now and just got the opportunity to read it and I’m so glad I did. I was a little turned off at first by Denim, but it didn’t take long to find the good in him and start to like him a lot.

Though he is in the family business, I really feel he is better than that, think he has just started to show it. I’m hoping to see him pull away from the family business and find his happiness.

Hope there is more of Wombat in the next book too, there was just something about him that stuck out to me.

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude
By Tee Smith
Rated 3 stars

This is a short story. The story is mostly about Denim. He owns a club. He has problems there that he needs to take care of. But what he really likes to do is help people. Which is nice. He has a difficult family and it seems only his cousin is who he discusses things with. Denim has a lot of activity in his life that probably would be too much for me. This is a prelude to Elegant Retribution. This is a fast paced snappy story. We are introduced to future characters in here. We meet a lot of different characters. Some move into and out of his life fairly quickly. Others might show back up for his assistance in some way shape or form. I am unsure what the purpose of this is other than to give more insight into how Denim is.

This short prequel does a good job establishing the foundation of this series’s main character and the author’s writing style. For me it felt like a quick snapshot, almost a teaser, of what is to come. I think it does a good job drawing the reader’s interest so they continue the series. A good story and interesting beginning.

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!

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude (Elegant Series- Prequel) By Tee Smith. This book has me excited for the rest of this series. I really enjoyed getting a bit more inside Denim’s story before starting the rest of the books. This is my first read from this author and I’m ready for more. While this is a short read it had my complete attention and turning that pages as fast as I can to see where the story goes. And now I’m definitely going to go devour the rest of the books available. Can’t wait to see where this series goes and where the author takes readers next. It’s well written and paced nicely with characters I’m really enjoying so far. I’m giving this book a four star review.

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.

This is a short story that is a great start to a new series. Denim is learning to find his own way in life. He is a powerful man who has to learn who he can trust and that everyone has a price but somethings can’t be bought with money. He is a character we really don’t get to know that much about, hopefully in future books we will. I enjoyed his character as well as the others and they made the story flow. I highly recommend reading this book, will he find something more valuable than money?
