This is the final book in the elite series and I absolutely loved the way it was all wrapped up. It was hot and sweet all at the same time, with so many emotions flowing. Panther and Solo will make you melt. I also loved how they faced any obstacles in their way together. This series is definitely worth the read.
Cristian Fox and Aiden Snow made these characters come alive. They did a fantastic job on the entire series.

**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**
Classified is the third book in The Elite series. It cannot be read as a standalone. You need to read the first two books in the series before this one.
Classified starts off right where Need for Speed left us. Panther makes the decision to come out and does it in a big way. Walking into the Navy ball holding hands with Solo gets them stares and mouth drops but for the most part everyone accepts that they are together. They have some backlash but nowhere near what they expected.
We get to see their relationship grow and figure out what comes next for them. They are close to the end of the Elite classes, who will win? Where will that leave them? Can they do long distance?
Everything comes to a close with this book but in the most perfect way for Grant and Mateo.

Mateo and Grant
This final book in the trilogy was everything. From the highs to the lows, Mateo and Grant had a lot to work through in order to find their happily ever after. The Elite series is another fabulously written set of books by these two amazing authors.

Attention risque de spoiler des tomes précédents
Ainsi s'achèvent 12 semaines de compétition entre les étudiants de l'Élite. Qui sortira vainqueur ? Grant "Panther" Hughes l'héritier de la navy et enfant prodige de l'aviation ou Mateo "Solo" Morgan l'anticonformiste trublion qui vole magnifiquement bien ? En attendant nous les avions quittés au bal de la navy ou venir seul est mal vu…
Panther et Solo ont fait un sacré bout de chemin depuis le bar du tome 1. Grant est prêt à affronter son père et sortir officiellement du placard avec Solo à son bras. Leur relation est toujours torride comme souvent avec les plumes de Brooke Blaine et Ella Frank. Le livre se lit très rapidement. J'ai aimé découvrir la partie aérienne chez les militaires dans cette romance et j'ai appris plein de nouveaux faits. Mon estomac a fait de sacrés nœuds pendant les vols et les différentes acrobaties. J’ai parfois eu l’impression de plonger avec eux. L’adrénaline est bien retranscrite par les auteures. Dans ce tome Solo est plus posé, moins fou mais il garde quand même sa répartie et son humour. Grant est certain de ce qu'il veut pour la suite au niveau personnel mais il remet en question son avenir professionnel. Leurs camarades de promotion sont présents et apportent un côté fraternité à l'histoire tout en étant plus ouvert d'esprit que dans d'autres romances militaires que j'ai pu lire. J'ai passé un excellent moment avec Solo et Panther, si vous aimez les romances militaires sans prise de tête (il n'y a pas de missions en zone de guerre puisqu'ils sont en formation), du chaud bouillant entre les deux protagonistes, des bonnes réparties : cette série est pour vous.

Ho amato questo terzo libro come i precedenti. Ammetto che forse la prima parte mi ha coinvolta meno, ma poi si riprende alla grande e nel complesso lo reputo una degna conclusione per una bellissima serie. È hot al punto giusto, dolce ed emozionante. Il batticuore non manca. Promosso e consigliato.

Note: An ARC was provided by the authors.
This trilogy has been such a blast to read, and while I've loved the other series that Brooke Blaine and Ella Frank have worked on together in the past, there was just something special about The Elite. In short, this trio of book lived up its name. This is also where I'm going to remind readers new to the series that the books need to be read in order--Danger Zone, Need for Speed, and Classified--because there is a continuing story with the same cast of characters led by United States Navy pilots Matteo Morgan (call sign: Solo) and Grant Hughes (call sign: Panther).
The pace was quick, the development on-point, the romance sweet and steamy, and the flying had me wishing I had a front-row seat to all the action. Matteo and Grant have come so far as both pilots and lovers, with realizations of just how committed they were to each other, followed only be their love of being in the cockpit. Naturally, getting to that happily-ever-after doesn't come easily, but I'm glad Blaine and Frank don't meander and add on unnecessary drama. I'm seriously going to miss our Solo and Panther. Le sigh. Five-plus stars for Classified. ♥

I didn't enjoy this as much as the first two books.
