Holy heart attack on paper. This book almost ended my life prematurely! I actually sent THE RVD a message on Twitter halfway through asking her if her purpose in writing the book was to give people small heart attacks. I was a HUGE fan of Elite and couldn’t wait to get my hands on Elect. If you haven’t read Elite STOP READING NOW! SPOILERS ARE COMING!!Recap: Tracey and Nix are a pair of star-crossed lovers from frenemy mafia families, whose situation got even MORE complicated after Tracey was attacked by Phoenix (Nix’s former best friend, also in the mafia) who’s dad was shot by Trace’s grandfather bringing down the wrath of the Sicilians. All caught up? Lets continue.Elect picks up with preparations underway for the arrival of one of the most powerful mafia families. Trace’s grandfather is in hiding, Tracey and Nix are madly and desperately in love, and Nix’s cousin and right hand man Chase is enjoying playing bodyguard to Trace WAY too much (who doesn’t like a good love triangle to shake things up?). Concerned for Trace’s safety after a meeting with Luca the Scary Sicilian, Nix pushes Trace in to the arms of Chase, convinced they must pretend to be in a relationship in order to keep her from being used as a bargaining chip or worse.Now it gets good. Nix’s plan fails massively in several ways (I won’t spoil the how or why), and the sacrifices he makes to keep Trace safe are positively devastating. The story that unfolds will have your head spinning, tears falling, and mouth swearing! Mafia boss and dreamboat Nixon Abandonato is simultaneously swoon worthy and heartbreaking, a pretty tough task to pull off. If you are looking for a book to completely consume your day and make you positively unproductive, snag this one ASAP!“When you fall in love, when you take that leap, it’s as natural as breathing, it’s as simple as that. I’m romantic because my heart demands I be nothing less than one hundred percent, for you, day and night.”See? Totally swoonworthy. *sigh*
