This is my new favorite series. I really hope that the rest of the books are just as amazing! Because I couldn't put this one down! 
 Nixon and Trace are my second favorite mafia couple that I've had the pleasure of becoming obsessed with. (They are second to Ignazio and Carissa in Monster In His Eyes and Torture To Her Soul). 
 The great thing about this book though is the third party you don't really expect to like. Usually the love triangle gets so frustrating in a book that it makes me want to scream. But this is only the second or third book that I've read with a love triangle that didn't make me want to strangle any of the characters. Well, there were definitely moments where Nixon got on my last nerve with his attitude but I mean.. he IS a mob boss... so... there's that. 
 Anyway, Chase... I love chase. I wish there were a lot more dialog between her and chase instead of just stating in a few short paragraphs that he became her best friend and defended her and yada yada yada. There were plenty of moments that let me know exactly how they felt about each other but I was still left wanting more. And that is exactly why I bought book number two within three minutes of finishing Elite. 
 Because it was freaking stellar.
