I have read every book in this series so far and loved them. I have always loved Tex and I couldn't wait to hear him and Mo's story. Also, it's RVD and I love everything that she writes.




18 & over because of the violence and some adult situation. You need to have read every book in this series in order for everything to make sense. Heavy on the mafia plot-line, so you should probably enjoy Mafia stories. 




I knew, I just knew that this was going to be my favorite book in the series so far and I was SO RIGHT!! I heart Tex so much, yes, even more than Nixon and Chase, which I didn't think was possible. He loves Mo with everything that he is and has and you can just feel it. I also really fell for Mo in this story too, she's pretty bad ass. Maybe not as bad ass as Mil is, but still, she's pretty kick ass. 


This story will break your heart and then patch it right back up again, over and over. There are all kinds of plot twists and surprises that you NEVER SEE COMING. Only Rachel Van Dyken can write a violent, mafia story that will make you laugh as much as you want to cry and punch something. Yes, the story is heavy on mafia, but it also really endures you to each and every character. You'll wonder how people who do such heinous things are  just like you and me. She shows the human side of the mafia like I've never read from anyone else. Who knew mafioso were so hilarious?




There is a bit of sad in this story, but something that is necessary to the story. So I guess it's not really so bad but just something I wish didn't have to happen, even though I understand it was necessary. Also there is one thing that Tex did that upset me but if you've read the other books, you know what it is. Again, I understand it but I don't like it. 




"So sugarplums? Santa? Unicorns? Sheep? Nah, that shit didn't fit in my dreams. It never had."

STILL OBSESSED. STILL WANNA BE VITO CAMPISI JR

4.5*

I STILL wanna be Tex Campisi when I grow up. I love this series. It's trope heavy and completely unbelievable but damn it, I'm obsessed. With Tex, Chase, Mo, Mil, Chase, Nixon, Sergio, FRANK and...I can't say anymore now can I?

Great story, mostly great narrators. The narrator who voiced Mo just didn't work for me with her NY accent.

Loved this one! Although, there was a LOT going on so sometimes it felt disconnected. There were just so many POV's at times it was overwhelming. However, I still loved the book, the characters, and the action!

This is my favorite of the Eagle Elite Series. Love Tex, the boys are all growing up and we've got some interesting new characters to look forward too.

Spectacular

I think this is my favourite book of the series sao far. Mind you, I've thought that after every book!
Tex has always brought light relief to previous books, however in this one he brings the darkness.
The story is so fast paced, there is so much happening I couldn't help but keep turning the pages. The frustration when I got to a new chapter and it was told by another POV was sheer brilliance. I needed to know how things developed like I needed my next breath!

Rachel has a good thing going with the Elite books. Lots of drama, lots of sex, real page turners!! I think Tex has to be my favourite character, funny yet sexy, that's a winning combo right there!!

So far in the series this was my least favourite book. It just seemed to drag on needlessly.
