Elect picks up where Elite leaves off.  The plot thickens, the romance gets steamier, and things get even more dangerous as the mystery continues to unfold.  There is a love triangle in the book, but this isn't your typical love triangle, so don't let that fact deter you from reading it.  The chemistry between Trace and Nixon is off the charts, and it becomes obvious just how much they love each other.  It also became obvious the depth of Nixon's love for Trace and what he was willing to do and to sacrifice in order to keep her safe, even if it means placing her in the arms of his best friend.  Chase, the best friend, struggles with what is going on, including his loyalty to Nixon and his feelings for Trace, which makes things even more complicated.  Given only a short time to find the answer to a crime committed years earlier, Nixon is forced to hatch a plan that could not only destroy him, but could cause him to lose Trace forever.I loved Chase, I really did.  He's a great guy, but I really came to love Nixon in this book.  The depth of his love for Tracey was obvious and the fact that he was willing to sacrifice his own happiness for hers, made me love him all the more.  So, that said, I am team Nixon, but I do love Chase and I want him to be happy also.  As the saga continues in Elect, the depth of the conspiracy reaches a whole new level, trusts are broken, friends become enemies and enemies become friends, danger and suspense reach an all-time high, and the depths of love and friendship are tested to the core.  Elect is filled with plenty of passion and romance, as well as betrayal, murder, and mystery, with glimpses into a world of crime that most can only imagine.  Rachel Van Dyken has caused me to totally fall in love with this story and what it involves, a type of story and a world that I never thought I would be interested in, and now I am totally captivated with it.  I absolutely loved Elect and the Eagle Elite Series, and I most definitely recommend it, but I warn you, hold on because you are in for quite a ride.
