After looking at these books for so long, I finally decided to try them.

The Ritual is book 1 of the series, which takes place at Barrington University. This story is about Ryat and Blakely, who are involved in a secret society known as the LORDS. Ryan is the stereotypical rich boy who has been handed everything. During his time at Barrington, he undergoes trials to become a full-fledged member of the LORDS. That is when he gains respect, power, authority, and a chosen girl. That Chosen is Blakely. A Lord is not supposed to fall in love; they are supposed to have an arranged marriage and go on to fill positions of authority in the world. Cue a story of sex, lust, power, murder, lies, secrets, and betrayals. It was a good, well-written story, and the smut was great, but I was losing interest after 400 pages. I will be reading the others, as I am interested in what is happening in the rest of the LORD's world.
