My Review
As soon as Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine’s new MM series was announced, I couldn’t wait to meet their hardcore, driven, and a bit egoistical male leads, and I was eager to see what would happen when these fighter pilots went head-to-head with one another and had to put their personal relationships aside in order to prove themselves to their superiors and place themselves ahead of every other pilot fighting for top honors.
The setting, in some ways, serves as a character in its own right because the atmosphere is a breeding ground for competition, for characters’ puffing out their chests and showing each other just how hard they’ll work and just what they’re willing to sacrifice to claim the top spots and to be seen as the best of the best.
Matteo ‘Solo’ Morgan and Grant ‘Panther’ Hughes are two exceptionally skilled and driven pilots, but their personalities couldn’t be more different, which means anything developing between these two will have to withstand a significant number of variables, including the fact that they’re competing for a position that they’ve wanted their entire lives.
I have to admit…Matteo was a lot to take in, in the beginning. He seems to always be ‘on’ and always pushing other people’s buttons. He’s an adrenaline junkie – one who doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything, and while that drive can be absolutely crucial when the stakes are high, his kind of personality can also be dangerous to not only himself but to those around him.
Grant is all about staying on the straight and narrow, driven to be the best and not let anything or anyone stand in his way. He so was not expecting Matteo Morgan or the instant attraction he would feel as well as the need to let himself go and give into the sexual tension that surrounds them.
Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine definitely know how to write cocky, over-the-top alpha males – those who have a competitive edge as well as a bit of a reckless personality, taking more risks perhaps than necessary, but doing so because being number one is of upmost importance. And the fact that these two authors created a setting like the Elite and have skilled fighter pilots competing for the coveted spots at the top at the prestigious naval aviation academy is fitting for both the main and secondary characters who they’ve created for this new series.
There’s a lot for Matteo and Grant to contend with as their story moves forward and given the ending of book one, readers will be desperate for Need For Speed, hoping that what these two seem to be building together is strong enough to withstand their individual goals and not allow their egos to make decisions that could spell disaster for anything more developing between them.
