The Elite

Mateo Morgan
Call Sign: Solo

Reckless, arrogant, and bold, Solo is as known in the US Navy for his bad-boy reputation as he is for his skills as a fighter pilot. It’s a surprise to his peers, then, when he’s chosen to train and compete at the most prestigious naval aviation academy in the world.

1. Kick everyone’s ass.
2. Do whatever it takes to win.
3. Do your best to distract the competition.
4. Especially when that competition is a gorgeous blue-eyed perfectionist who makes your blood run hot.

Disciplined, smart, and confident, Panther can’t afford not to play by the rules. As the son of a top Navy commander, all eyes are on him, and being anything less than number one is unacceptable. 

Mission Rules:
1. Keep it safe in the air.
2. Prove you’re more than Commander Hughes’s son.
3. No distractions. Stay focused.
4. Don’t fall for your competition - especially not the rebellious heartbreaker with lips made for sinning. 

In the heat of the hot California sun, tempers flare and desires ignite as Solo and Panther try to resist their attraction while fighting to be number one. 

With passion this intense, the question remains: Who’s gonna come out on top?

Panther and Solo 💙💛💙💛

I was so excited to see both books of this series are finally out on Audible. I loved the ebooks. This new series by Ella and Brooke is nothing short of hot and brilliant. Fighter plane pilots. Alpha male personalities. The supporting characters are intriguing and relatable too and Panther and Solo’s chemistry is so palpable between the pages of the book and hot dang, Aiden and Christian brought the chemistry on a different level with their narration. That last chapter always gets me. 💙💛💙💛
Off to the second book now.. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hot and yummy!

Audiobook review by Mel

Dual Narrators Aiden Snow and Christian Fox successfully delivered one of the sexiest series of the year. Everyone knows my Aiden is the best, but coupled with Christian Fox, the pair produced one hell of a ride, or should I say flight? Both these men have a deep and smooth timbre in their voices, which are ideally suited for the testosterone-filled airforce trainee fighter pilot series. They complimented each other and were able to pick up and run with the tension bouncing back and forth. It was magic! They are absolutely a winning combination.

The Series itself is tribute or fanfare to “Top Gun” the movie. Man, could I visualize how the flights went? How they took flight into the air and how the protagonists experienced the velocity and strength of the jets. I watched that movie as a child many-many times. Loving the sexy men in their uniforms and aviator sunglasses, jets, motorbikes, and the speed, and this exactly what the plot is all about.

Panther and Solo are both alpha male personalities. Thanks to the excellent narration, they have stolen my heart and now I am obsessed. They are all kinds of sexy and the chemistry between the two of them is smoldering hot. They have a love-hate relationship in the beginning, which quickly grows into banter and then mutual respect.

As for the cliffhangers…

I would recommend waiting until all three are available on audio. It’s actually one story chopped up in three pieces. This is why I never want to listen to short, audiobooks. It’s quite irritating, imagine, going to the movies and halfway through they stop the movie, tell you to go home and come back in three months to watch the rest. But, I was such an eager beaver to hear my Aiden, I could not click-buy-listen fast enough.

Happy Listening

Cliffhanger..I'll wait

Im totally irritated with the cliffhanger. i missed the review warning. I'll wait until its finished to see....3 credits for 12 maybe 13 hour story...idk...even as hot as this is.
The story is good. You can see it. Total Top Gun and not even remotely cheesy.
The story is good but the narrators are WOWZER.
Aiden Snow sounds just dead sexy here. Christian Fox is a sultry contrast. They play off each other very well. Super hot combo.

surprisingly good

My only complaint is that the voices were so different that I think the book should have been narrated by 1 person and surprisingly I think Christian Fox was a somewhat better fit but both narrators were fantastic and did an amazing job as always. The sex was fire and the the writing kept your attention the entire time. I definitely recommend this.

Meh

I wanted to like this, but it was a struggle. Each narrator was good, but each did both main characters' voices in his chapters, so it was like four people instead of two, and the switch from chapter to chapter kept me from getting immersed in it. It got the impression that each narrator couldn't really do different voices so that's why there's two people reading, but one would have been better. The story is fairly conventional and there's a lot of good sex in this, but at a certain age and as a certain character type, one shouldn't be quite so scared of dad's disapproval--it kind of kills the sex appeal. As others have noted, there's a cliffhanger at the end. I'm not going to buy the next book in the series to find out what happens, so this feels unfinished. Overall, I see what the authors were going for here, and I like what it aspired to be, but the book just didn't get there, at least for me.

missed author opportunity to OWN and make UNIQUE

New to me authors along with excellent and favorite narrators lured me in to purchase. the wording and writing style was good, but the content, plot and story line lacked so badly, I Struggled to finish even with Christian and Aiden in my ear. I HAVE NEVER left a negative review, but there was absolutely no creative thought process to this book, just a poorly made tweek and twerk to Top Gun a total classic. I'm pretty sure the dialogue was even the same with some character role reversal thrown in for good measure. I held on to see if there was an ejection from a cock pit, and yep-there was. no surprise. i won't be continuing on with the series, unfortunately. a total missed opportunity to make something unique and "owned" by the authors. but, just my opinion.

Panther and Solo

Felt like a little Top Gun Action - but I loved it.
Panther and Solo

Panther is the son of a famous pilot with a lot to prove in this school, Solo is the wise cracking loose cannon. They are drawn together and hijinx ensue. Lots of funny and sweet moments.

Excellent narration.

Good story. Good narration.

Another enjoyable read/listen from this writing duo. Having grown up next to an Air Force Base, I am always curious about how pilots will be portrayed in fiction. This was definitely a Top Gun style story. Sigh... One of these days someone will think about the mechanics who way outnumber the pilots and have much more tolerable personalities. Anyway...

I have been a fan of Snow's narration, but I am now a serious Christian Fox fan!

Yes yes yes

Loved this book when I read it and still love it when listening!

These two authors together are amazing and they don’t disappoint with this new series. Danger Zone is a bit of a slow Burn but in such a good way. The tension between these two is hot hot hot!

Aiden Snow and Christian Fox knock it out of the park narrating!

damn

that is one hell of a cliffhanger. on to book two!! 📖 🎧 📖🎧

Fire Extinguisher Required !

These characters epitomize their call signs: Panther (cool and stealthy) and Solo (brash and opinionated) ! Fantastic expert narrations by both Fox and Snow make this story sizzle squeezing every frisson of passion and drama into this Top Gun'esque tale through intonation, inflection and pacing. Great narrators make such a difference to the whole Audiobook experience.

Red hot action in the cockpit, the classroom and the bedroom.

Ends on a cliff hanger ready for Book 2

NOTE: This story is in 3 parts. Part 3 is not on Audible yet, nor has a date for it's publication been released, but you can read it on Kindle.

One of the best MM romance I have listened to.

I loved this series, so much, in currently listening to it second time around.

tension filled

Solo and Panther play a great game of cat and mouse right until the end. This cliffhanger will have you cursing unless the next book is ready to go on your device.

Great start to the trilogy

This is the best book of the three. Love Solo and his quirky backchat. The sexual tension is great. Aiden Fox is a dream as a narrator and every time he says Panther my knees wobble a bit.
