"I don't want to save the world... I want to save you" This book is beautiful written and it almost made me cry (and that doesn't happen a lot with me with books)
It has a sad and happy ending. It probably sounds weird, but therefore you really need to read the book and you will understand.
This series is really good and it becomes better in every book with each storyline.

If you’re an Eagle Elite fan this is an excellent addition to the series. However this isn’t the book you want to start with, but it is necessary foundation for the next book. Sergio and Andi’s story is heartbreaking and lovely and wonderful and there will be tears.
As always Tom Taylorson and Amy McFadden are fabulous.

New review-
Well Mafia fans, you survived an epic love story. A story of a friendship that is worth fighting for. A love that won't end even without a heartbeat. "Just because our love feels short doesn't mean it is. Our love is forever."
Sergio was looking at death and was given a punishment. He looked at it as a punishment. He rebelled against it. He hated it. Until he learned it was a gift. Andi was a blessing.
""You were right." I swallowed and closed my eyes. "You said I was dead inside, and you were right. I was so pissed at you for calling me out, for upsetting my carefully planned-out life, for making me feel when all I really wanted to do was throw a pity party and lock myself away with a gun." I opened my eyes and smiled, remembering the way she'd woken me up that first morning. "You said I was dead. I think because of what you were going through, you recognized death easily in others. You saw the signs in me, and, instead of allowing me to follow you, you healed me." I stood. "Thank you." I took a step back and shoved my hands into my pockets. "I'll love you… until we both shall live.""
His future is out there and we find her very soon!

Tissues, a sense of humor and a bottle of vodka are a must. The Italians are in for a big surprise.
I LOVED it. Realistic ending, even if you wish otherwise. Putting Empire on TBR list now.

Review originally posted at Ramblings From This Chick
Elude is the sixth book in the Eagle Elite Series by Rachel Van Dyken. This book is an interconnected standalone, but I would really recommend reading this series in order. These books are fantastic, and this series is quite possibly my favorite series ever. Rachel Van Dyken has written such a unique and different world, and I find myself loving all these characters flaws and all. If you haven't read any of this series yet, you are definitely missing out.
I don't really want to say too much of what this book is about, so as not to give it away. But this is Sergio and Andi's book. Sergio was forced to marry Andi, who was dying, in order to protect her. Before their wedding Sergio offers to kill her, and Andi declines. But after they are married, things quickly change and Sergio vows to protect her with his life. Sergio and Andi are some of my favorite characters of this series after reading this book, and that really surprised me. Andi was so inspiring, and I couldn't help but really like her. She was so positive and loving, kind and funny. She was so perfect for Sergio, and I really enjoyed seeing them together. I wasn't too sure about Sergio before this book, but seeing everything that he did and went through here, he completely won me over. He was so much more than what we had seen of him previously, and this book really was a journey for him.
Overall, this was another fantastic book in this series and Rachel Van Dyken continues to prove why this series is one of my all time favorites. These books are must reads! I cannot explain enough why you need to read these books if you haven't already, but trust me when I tell you that I haven't been disappointed a single time. This book was beautiful and sad, and I definitely cried a ton. (So make sure you have some tissues handy!) But it was a story about facing death and living your life, beyond just surviving and breathing. I loved every bit of Elude, tears and all. It was great to see familiar faces! These characters are so hard to let go of at the end of each book, so it is always nice to get more of them! They are truly unique, and I love that they aren't your typical cookie-cutter type of characters. I honestly cannot wait for more in this series, and after reading the prologue of the next book I am already stalking the internet for information!

This book broke me.
I fell in love with Andi as soon as she opened her sassy mouth. She was full of light, optimism and happiness even though she knew her fate, she lived and the way she lived brought Sergio to life. As you turn the pages and Sergio finds a reason to live and to laugh, you fall in love with them as they fall in love with each other.
I laughed out loud more in this book than the previous ones. Each book brings the guys to another level of their loyalty to one another and with the dark moments they deal with they also hand out this amazing banter that makes you smile and laugh only to leave your heart shredded the next moment.
I can't wait to see Sergio get his forever in book 7

I thought this book would be too similar to Chase and Mil's since the forced marriage was already done. I also didn't think I'd like it since I didn't care for Sergio too much. But I actually did like it, even though it focused on the romance between Andi and Sergio more than any mafia stuff. Which isn't too bad, because I wasn't confused the whole time. I don't like them as much as say, Chase and Mil, but they're ahead of Nixon and Tracey by a long shot.

This book ripped out my heart. Like literally. At first I thought Sergio was such a jerk but the relationship that he and Andi developed was incredible and I loved her. She was an amazing character. I've really loved reading this series as it developed and I can't wait to finish it up. There've been a lot of smiles, a lot of laughs and this book brought on the tears but it was beautiful in it's own right!
