Rush Dempsey doesn't care about much in life except finding out the truth about what killed his mother. He knows that the secret society, The Elite has something to do with it. It isn't until his father mentions that Rush is a candidate for the very same group that he is compelled to do something again. Rush knows that getting into to The Elite will be the only way to destroy it. His task to become a member of the group is to desecrate Archbishop Savoie's daughter, Isabelle on the alter of the church. Rush's task becomes easy when Isabelle is pushed into her hands and taking down The Elite is in sight. No one expects the laziest member of the group to have planned so carefully.

Sloth is the sixth book in The Elite Seven series. Sloth brings together a lot of the previous stories, so I would definitely recommend reading the rest of the series first. Rush is motivated from the very beginning to end The Elite and expose their secrets. His character, from the outside seems like to least likely to do so, however; Sloth is just a cover for patience. I enjoyed Rush's relationship with Isabelle and the fact that it didn't seemed forced or even too tied to his task. The romance is sweet and sexy with plenty of steamy scenes. Isabelle was courageous on her own and I was glad that she was able to use Rush to get out from under her father. For a book about Sloth, this installment was really action packed as Rush and his brothers begin to bring down The Elite. I was impressed at how well all of the stories have fit together so far and can't wait to see if Rush's plan will work in the last book, Greed. ( )
