A review by javalenciaph
Classified by Ella Frank, Brooke Blaine
5.0
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. ♥
