A PRIVILEGED standalone novel, get ready for secret societies, international romance, and college debauchery...

If you’re in, you’ll never have to ask. If you ask, you’ll never be in.

Eloise Mason knows what it’s like to live among the privileged. Seeking a change from the upper crust society of Europe, she flies halfway across the world for a semester abroad in the one place guaranteed to toss responsibility out the window and provide some good, old-fashioned fun; college in The United States.

Except nothing at the picturesque, Ivy-covered university in Vermont appears as it seems. And after a mysterious invitation arrives on her doorstep, curiosity wins over the need to turn her back on games meant for the rich and ruthless.

Secret societies, risky tasks, and an inner circle to rival the royals. But it may just be one American boy who threatens to be the most dangerous endeavor of all.

Colton Reiter defines the word idolized at Jade Mountain University. In fact, he practically rules the roost from the three point line of the basketball court. The college’s star point guard, he is a god and treated as such; professional scouts at every game, teachers looking the other way when it comes to grades, and girls falling into his lap at the snap of a finger. He wants for nothing, or at least that’s what he wants everyone to believe.

But when he meets the sassy girl with the British accent who could care less about his status, her very existence threatens to unveil the skeletons buried deep in the back of his closet.

With stakes this high, and hearts on the line, can they turn their backs on power and popularity before the ivory tower comes crashing down on their heads?

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Book
Reviewed in Australia on 18 February 2018
If you loved Nora’s sidekick in the previous book you will be so happy because yes it’s Eloise’s turn and she doesn’t disappoint.

I wanted a mean girls vibe with some hot college jocks thrown in and boy oh boy did the author deliver.

Eloise wants an escape and decides to do the American college thing, I loved how she decided to go all in, the food the men the sorority. She is such a sassy chick I loved all the British sayings and her witty humour.

Colton the campus hotshot has it all, good looking, basketball god but don’t be fooled by the exterior because he has secrets and once those layers are pulled back we see a tender thoughtful young man.

Together the two of them are combustible but the relationship develops into something much deeper. The drama comes from outside influences which gave the mean girls vibe.

I loved this story so much, this is fast turning out to be one of my favourite series.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars!
Reviewed in Australia on 18 February 2018
4.5 Stars! Elite is the second in the Privileged Series and it is a standalone, however I’m glad I read Privileged first. I really love this one; it’s full of emotions, a little sombre at times, with some college young adult drama. There are a lot of secrets and several smaller stories in here that come together well.

Colton is a college basketball star that has gotten himself in a bad place. He is a bit of an arrogant jock, but very likeable, sweet and I found his story to be a bit sad. He has made some very poor choices with good intentions but now he’s trying to be responsible and feels that pressure to do right by his mother; I loved him for that. When he meets Eloise it’s so funny she made me smile with her comebacks. She comes across snobby at first but I really liked her character. She strong, caring and giving to those who deserve it, she’ll risk everything for those she loves; but, I wouldn’t want to be on her bad side! Colton and Eloise have a great connection, amazing chemistry, passionate, sweet, their playful banter made me chuckle. They both give each other what they need even though they may not even know they need it.

I’m a new fan of Carrie Aarons, this is only my second book by her. I love her detailed writing with interesting characters that make me smile. She’s given me another complete and satisfying story. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more.

5 COLTON AND ELOISE STARS!! This story was captivating like watching an episode of Gossip Girls. This is the second book in Privilege stories, but can be read as a standalone. There is the rich, elite, scandals, suspense, sexiness and perfect characters in this book. Eloise and Colton story is fun to watch unfold and they are a great couple. Carrie Aarons is an amazing storyteller and will keep you flipping pages.

4.0 out of 5 stars an edgy new adult romance

Elite by Carrie Aaarons is an edgy new adult romance that I couldn't put down!

Eloise Mason has big dreams of becoming a famous chef, but before she finishes her schooling, she wants to live one semester in America living life abroad, and since she has the means to do it, she does. She may come off as a spoiled rich girl, but she is nothing like this. Eloise as we get to know her more (we did meet her in Privileged) is very down to earth and I adored her character, and her ability to know right from wrong, and to protect the ones she truly cares about.

On her first night on campus, she runs into Colton, the big basketball star on campus, and she shuts him down. She's intrigued by him, but she doesn't want to get involved, but that only drives him to want her more. Everywhere Eloise ends up, she ends up running into Colton, and these two getting together becomes inevitable. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and the banter between them is hilarious. I couldn't wait to see what they would be like once Eloise finally gave in, and let me tell you, it was amazing. Once she stopped fighting him, it was awesome. They may be complete opposites, but they balance one another out, and they may actually be more similar than they think.

Both of these characters have a lot going on, and watching Colton struggle with decisions he's made, and Eloise helping him was hard. He's messed up, but watching Eloise, understand and then work on helping him, was beautiful and truly showed what kind of person she was. When she was in trouble, and the sacrifices he made to help her.. it made my heart break and happy all at once. It showed just how amazing his character truly is.

I adored watching Colton and Eloise come together in this book and watch their relationship grow, but I also loved watching the two of them grow as individuals. This was a beautiful tale of right and wrong, growing up, and finding the person you belong with and doing everything you can to support and love them. The only thing I wish was that we would have seen what happened with the stuff Eloise was dealing with at the end of her time in school, as I felt that part of the story was left a little bit unfinished and glossed over, but other than that it was a beautiful story. I adored Colton, even with all of his "flaws". If you're looking for an edgy and raw new adult romance, then you need to pick up Elite by Carrie Aarons today!

3.0 out of 5 stars Lazy Writing That Could Have Been Much Better
Reviewed in the United States on 29 July 2018

Not my normal genre, but thought I'd take a chance on a promotional discount. The book was many things: intriguing, annoying, factually inaccurate, superficial in its character development, hard to believe...and yet...somewhat satisfying as a quick read that explored college life—albeit a gross characterization of what most college students experience. I guess I see why most people liked the book—particularly if you are a fan of the romance novel with a bit of mystery thrown in. What I hated was the lazy writing. The author points out in the Author's Notes at the front that the reader needs to ignore the factual errors related to all of the collegiate basketball references. Well, that was impossible to do. It was incredibly inaccurate—from the size of the players and the positions they played to the silly notion that a smallish "college" would be playing for the national collegiate championship where only major universities rule. Those errors ran rampant throughout the story and could have been easily corrected with a little effort. Sorry. That really distracted me from some of the good work that was done in the book.

After reading Privileged I couldn't wait for another book set in this world!! I really enjoyed it!! This was such an addictive story filled with secrets and sexy as sin moments that still have me blushing. There were so many truths in this story that I absolutely could not wait to uncover. Many moments throughout I didn't see coming which made me even more glued to my kindle. Ms.Aarons kept me guessing and entertained from the beginning to the end.

Eloise and Colton meet by chance. She doesn't want to fall for his charms and He's determined to know more about her. The sparks start flying between them. As they soon learn though secrets are all around them and it's up to them to decide if their feelings are worth it or not.

I was so glad to finally be in Eloise's mind! The more I kept on reading I adored her. I liked how she wasn't one to back down. Colton was a bit of a mystery to me and I was anxious to find out more about him. The banter between these two was priceless. There was more to them than meets the eye. I was looking forward to seeing how it would all turn out.
