The Elite
Ace of Maids
Being honest in a relationship is very important, but telling the truth about getting rid of bodies for the mob might be a bit of a deal breaker.
Melvin “Dash” Purvis is the latest in a long line of professional cleaners. He cleans up the little problems that local criminals and gangsters leave behind and makes sure they’re never found. It’s discreet, profitable, but lonely. Dash can never reveal the true nature of his job and the odd hours he keeps always end up driving away his potential partners.
All that changes when Dash receives an invitation to a mysterious club and finds himself in the company of his fellow not-so-law-abiding citizens. It is there he meets Tommaso “Tommy” Capelli, a local gangster who’s wonderfully charming and ready to sweep Dash off his feet and right into bed. It might be Dash’s chance to finally have a crack at an honest relationship, but the situation becomes complicated when he runs into Tommy again in the worst possible place…
As part of his latest cleaning job.
Dash’s mentor never told him what to do when one of the problems is still alive and keeping Tommy that way puts Dash right in the middle of a brewing mob war. The passion burning between him and Tommy is almost as dangerous as the men now trying to kill them both, and Dash’s unique skills and courage are put to the test as he fights to keep them out of a body bag so they can make it to their first date.
Ace of Maids is a part of the multi-author series The Elite. Each book can be read as a standalone and in any order. What links these books together is The Anonymous, a club beneath the gritty city where only the elite are welcome.

September 4, 2024DNF & Delete because the couple's first meeting is everything, it's what makes me want to root for them and keep reading their story. That being said, having the MC uncomfortable by a guy leering, smirking, belittling, name-calling WHILE ASKING HIM TO MEET AT A STALL IN THE BATHROOM AND TURNS OUT HE'S THE LOVE INTEREST? NO. BOY HAVE SOME SELF RESPECT!

It's very hard to root for a character when you don't like them. And I really didn't like Tommy. He first comes off as a horny, smarmy, impulsive ass whose main redeeming feature is being hot. The smarmy he drops, but everything else remains consistent throughout the book.
If you don't care if the love interest lives or manages to seduce our main, then it's pretty hard to care about either the romance part or the action part of the book. I'm kind of relieved it's over now

After all the hype and jokes, I'm gutted there was no actual maid uniform in the end. This one was my fave in the series so far. I liked Dash with his cleaner legacy thing and Tommy number 5 of 4. The initial first meeting screamed help me, but Dash chose not to thinking it was a hook up. That was awkward.
Given the whole legacy thing, I thought maybe Tommy would end up with the mantle just to give himself a new identity. Instead he calls the secretary loud and proud like an action movie. It was a little obvious at that point who the mastermind was. I did like how he skipped the usual villain monologue and swiftly got taken care of. There was only one way that was ending.
I liked the whole mob war caught in the middle thing, I liked the characters and how blasé Dio was. The old Mel was a good guy. Fun story.

RECENSIONE A CURA DI BARBARA
Puro relax e leggerezza!
“Ace of Maids” è una lettura frizzante con un pizzico di spiazzante divertimento, i suoi protagonisti sono originali e a tratti disorientanti per la loro ingenuità e “idiozia”.
Entrambi sono arricchiti da alcuni tratti di “candore” e dolcezza nonostante la realtà in cui vivono e il loro lavoro, pertanto riescono a farsi amare con semplicità e immediatezza. E’ semplice entrare in empatia con entrambi e accompagnarli lungo uno sviluppo all’insegna dell’intrigo e dei sospetti. Un mistero al quale riescono a sopravvivere per provvidenza e un pizzico di intuizione fortuita.

3.5/5
Melvin Dash Purvis is a cleaner of sorts –he gets rid of bodies to leave no trace for cops to find. He has had a great reputation for generations and now, the current Mr. Purvis, aka Dash, has got a job to do.
He met Tommy Capelli previously in this big ass fancy hotel, they flirted and exchanged a few words. Yet, Dash never thought he’d find Tommy half dead on a job they hired him to do. Dash is supposed to be there only to “clean dead bodies”, not saving people, but that’s what he ultimately does.
He finds himself attached to Tommy, who’s nothing but trouble. Some shit happened and they have to find the culprit of this betrayal to the Capelli family.
Now, I really did like the story from the very beginning. Both Dash and Tommy are fun to read and their banter made me chuckle a couple of times. Tommy is a flirt yet Dash cannot resist him. The action scenes make it dynamic and, as the first book in the series, it feels like a mix of comedy, action and sexy times between the MCs, which I’m fully enjoying.
It also helps that it’s a short story so everything is straight to the point. It is my first time reading this author but I liked their writing and the MCs interaction so I hope I can read more of their stories.

First book I started in the Elite series and it was so much fun to read. I loved the action, the mob drama, the sexy times and the romance between Tommy and Dash. Their banter kept me in stitches and the mob drama kept me on my toes til the end...definitely a page turner. K.L Hiers never disappoints me in her stories...this was entertaining with a satisfying HEA for the guys. Since this one was great I'm curious about the other books in this series and think I will give them a try.

→ Falling for the wrong one
→ Grumpy Sunshine
A pocket length Mafia mystery romance, gimme it right now. Kat has a way of weaving it so you think you know what’s going on and then, oh wait, no we didn’t. I absolutely love it.
Dash is lonely workaholic who has to keep up the appearance for an entire legacy. Puts a bit of pressure on the dating life.
Oh everyone says accountants are boring, well it’s time for you to meet Tommy. Raunchy, overconfident, and hiding a gushy center.
This is absolutely worth the read, especially in a boring doctors office when you try not to blush or laugh while reading lol.

I didn't like this one. I'm not sure exactly what it was. It could've been that I just couldn't get into the plot of the story. Or it could've been that I just didn't like the characters.
I'm going to bow out of this series. I've had an issue with each of the books. Even though I know that these are all by different authors, I think the length of the books has something to do with it as well.
Oh well...

This book was pure fun. Tommy was hilariously adorable. Dash may have been a tad too serious, but Tommy evened him out beautifully.
What an excellent concept we have here. A Cleaner who gets involved with someone he was supposed to clean up. It’s all very intriguing. While there is definitely a sub-plot of mystery and back stabbing going on, I was focused on Tommy and Dash. Tommy stole every scene he was a part of. Honestly, he was the star of the book for me. Not the brightest bulb in the box but so incredibly earnest. Dash really never had a chance once Tommy sets his sights on him.
With her signature snark, heat and lovable characters, Hiers wins you over with another fantastic couple. These two could be a whole series of misadventures and I’d read every one. The Accountant and The Maid has a nice ring to it. ;)

Dash, a body cleaner for criminals is caught in the middle of a mob war when he gets the call to clean a scene where there are 4 bodies to take but he actually counts 5, with the 5th being the grandson of the Don and still very much alive.
Dash and Tommy go on the run whilst trying to figure out what was what.
I enjoyed this book.

DNF at 20% just not fun

Ace of Maids is yet another fast-paced, fun read in the Elite series, featuring a cleaner and the “problem” he’s supposed to fix.
Dash is the latest in a long and distinguished line of professional cleaners; he’s the anonymous guy you call when someone got unalived and it needs to be cleaned up. His double life is a lonely one, so when he gets an invitation to the Anonymous, he’s intrigued. Perhaps there he can meet someone who understands his … lifestyle. And he does. The flirtatious and outrageous Tommy Capelli may come on a bit strong, but there’s definitely something there — but Dash is hesitant. They part ways, and later that night, Dash gets a job. When he gets to the scene, he finds Tommy — a problem who isn’t quite ready for cleanup. Although this is a first for Dash, he helps Tommy, and now they’re both on the run, and maybe in the middle of a mob war? If they can survive, this might just be the start of something real.
This was such a fun read, and at 164 pages, it gave you great background and insight into Dash while still keeping the action moving along quickly. I loved Tommy and how he accepted what Dash does for a living — and how thoroughly he appreciated his skill. There was snark and steam and a fair amount of unaliving, all making for a thoroughly enjoyable read. This is book three in the multi-author series, The Elite, but each can be read as a standalone. Definitely recommend this one, and the series as a whole.

I loved the banter between Tommas and Dash. The book's first line was good and it is a short, sweet read. There were surprising plot twists and it was a fun ride.
The negative though, was that the plot twists seemed too...dog blood? Over dramatic and I was reading 'This Venerable One Really Didn’t Abandon My Familiar' It was a cultivation danmei with a slow burn. I was so reading this right after was like, too different. In perspective, I really loved TVORDAMF, The previous book. This was a cute and sweet read with a plot that you could follow. I love Dash's smart remarks and how he could pick out the other's lies and Tommas's wit, he was so funny. I was really impressed by their humour.
You guys should check out 'This Venerable One Really Didn’t Abandon My Familiar', it is short compared to the danmei novels like 2ha, Tgcf, Svsss, but it gives off Luo Binghe (if he was a snake) X Shin Yuan (If he was 3000 years god) really added to the list of Monster Shizun Fuckers.
The review is all over the place because it is currently 3:05 a.m, I like the book you should read it; it isn't that long. 3.5/5, rounded off

It’s hard not to like Dash and Tommy, who despite (or sometimes, seemingly, because of) the extreme amount of peril they’re in from the moment they meet, don’t seem to take much of anything, including each other, super seriously. This probably shouldn’t be as charming as it is, but in spite of the fact that these two are objectively terrible at their respective professions (Tommy is a hot mess from start to finish and I don’t care how good a “cleaner” Dash has been up until this moment, he broke the first rule for a random hot guy, and that just makes me like him more)– and they’re not great at solving mysteries either– they’re a lot of fun together, and their chemistry, emotional and physical, is strong. The banter is on point, the storyline is engaging, it’s a shock that neither of them dies and I’m always going be a little salty about the maid’s outfit, but overall, I found this to be a fun read with interesting (in good ways!) characters– if the blurb appeals, definitely give it a try. 4.5 stars.

Really good in all ways. The writing was on point, clear and with good word choices. The MCs were different than the usual which made for an interesting plot line. A ‘cleaner’ for the Mob and a body which wasn’t quite dead. I liked bad boy Tommy, very much. So sexy and incorrigible. Brave, too, as he and Dash faced so many harrowing situations. This is another book in this series with a high body count from some gruesome murders. I was okay about it as I was quickly reading and rooting for the guys to get away each time. The mob mystery was good and had a twist. I really enjoyed the heat in the book between the MCs. From their first sexy meeting to a HEA in bed, the sex scenes were hot and detailed. One detail, and I have not read this in depth in any mm book as it was here, was the sex scene where Tommy kept his dick piercing in at Dash’s request. It was fascinating and hot to read how it felt to both Dash and Tommy. How did the author get those dirty details? Firsthand or secondhand? This reader is curious! 😉
A very good addition to this unique series! All the stars.

4 stars for a book with lots of twists and dramas included.
Dash was a cleaner for who ever needed a body removed. A lonely job since explaining it to a boyfriend would be tough. He gets an invite to The Anonymous club hed never heard off.
He soon meets Dio’s nephew, Tommy who sends his heart a flutters but quickly changes his mind.
A lot of chemistry buzzes between them with Tommy’s attemps of bad bad flirting.
Fast forward and there’s s job for Dash but it comes with complications being the understatement.
Both Dash and Tommy were in deep doo doo.
A fast moving story with dangers and not knowing when the next gunshot was coming from. Dead people piled up as fast as they tried to clean. This is a very fast pace with lots of details and twist to keep you guessing what would happen next. I would have loved this to be a longer book at a slower pace to feel the chemistries between the characters. Both povs are included and I didn’t like Tommy much in book but a good edition for the Elite series.

Don’t call Dash a Maid
Melvin Dashiell Purvis also known as Dash comes from a long line of professional cleaners. It doesn’t matter what Tommy says he is a cleaner not a maid. He cleans problems not people.
I absolutely love the way Dash cleans up problems. *snickers* it’s genius.
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy what to say about that crazy goofball, gah I love him. I love that he isn’t your “perfect mobster” I love that he has health issues. Tommy Capelli handles the family books, Dash likes to refer to him as an accountant *snickers*
I loved this book so much, it’s fast paced, funny, steamy, and so much more. I found myself going “no way!” Out loud a few times earning side-eye from my husband. But I couldn’t help it! I wasn’t expecting some of the stuff that happened. I hope K.L Hiers brings these two back in the future because I’m not ready to let them go.

No, 4 Does Not Equal 5
Plot: Action/mafia/romance…and tongue-in-cheek mystery/comedy - I mean what else would you get when a cleaner is sent to clean up some dead bodies and finds a not-so-dead cutie and a mystery they totally bumble through lol
Feels: Laughs and awws
Drama: Some tension in the math and whodunit department
Heat: 3/5
Characters: K.L. Hiers has created another adorable grumpy/sunshine pairing with Dash (the cleaner) and Tommy (the accountant with the mafia connection). Since this is a short read, there isn’t the usual character development, but the surface level is enjoyable nonetheless.
Pacing: A quick and easy fun read
Length: Shortish
Ending: HEA after some twists

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/6.
🌶️🌶️.5/5.
This was a good story. I was extremely intrigued with Dash's main job but also his side gig if we can call it that. It was a very interesting read.
My main complain (just my preference i think) is about Tommy. He was a bit much and not in a good way to me. He was very endearing in one moment, funny in the next and right afterwards he would annoy me. He was a bit hard to love however i very much enjoyed him and Dash together and the mystery they had to resolve.
I enjoyed their sexy times especially Tommy ( yes, i know i complained about him but... 😌) however the word "baby" was a bit overused for my tastes but if you have no problem with it, i think you will enjoy this book. It's a quick read, it has steam and a problem that our heroes have to solve.

Hoo boy..
That was.. something. I enjoyed the something that it was, though, so that’s not a bad thing.
Editing left a LOT to be desired, but the story and the characters were awesome. The spicy bits were REAL nice, as well.
This isn’t my favourite style of writing, because the constant repetition of names grates on me, but I didn’t hate it as much as I usually do. That might be because I enjoyed the plot too much to let it be a problem.
3.75/5, it had its issues—mostly editing/proofreading ones—but it was a really great read and I loved it!

3.5*
The idea that the job of a professional cleaner would be passed along like a family title was intriguing. I thought Ace of Maids was an entertaining addition to The Elite series- instead of an assassin we get the story of the one left to clean up the messes.
Dash never expected to find a live one at his most recent clean up, but Tommy somehow survived. And now Dash has to deal with the fallout.
This was a fun read, Tommy is quite the character. You wouldn't expect these two to work, but somehow they did.

Loved this!
This is exactly the kind of sweet, hilarious, fun, action packed, sexiness that I expect from KL Hiers. Tommy and Dash are so cute together (I want my own Tommy please) plus we got all the action of a big mafia conspiracy to go with it. I know this is a standalone, but I really wish we could see more of Tommy and Dash (or maybe their friends - Tommy just screams someone who has hilarious but exasperated friends).

Fun read from start to finish
Was a fun read full of action from start yo finish. Both Dash & Tommy were intriguing as well as rest of the Capelli family. Part of the plot seemed rushed where would have liked more explained or realized by the author. Wanted more interaction with Mel and Dash to see why Dash turned out as he did, as well with Tommy and his family. Overall good read would recommend to read at least once.

Wanted more interaction with Mel and Dash to see why Dash turned out as he did, as well with Tommy and his family. Overall good read would recommend to read at least once.

This was such an amazing story! Fun, mysterious and so incredibly sexy, KL Hiers brings their trademark humor and amazing world building to this awesome series. Dash and Tommy are absolutely a blast to read and the book walks the line between fluff and darkness perfectly (dark fluff??) Wonderfully entertaining, delightfully spicy and so fun to read!

Took me longer to get into this one than I'd like. Mostly because I wasn't sold on Tommy, but Dash was interesting enough to keep me reading. I'd totally read more of this, to be honest. I want a multigenerational series about MD Purvis, please and thank you. The plot was fun, though. I'm glad that it was twisty enough to feel like the ending was earned.

murderous but funny
So many crazy times! Tommy and Dash are amazing together! Tommy is rather hilarious and poor Dash pretty much just ends up a long for the ride of his life after saving Tommy. I am in love with all the books in this series so far but I think Tommy is gonna be my favorite.

Dash & Tommy
Exciting ride, quick read with two funny guys. Dash’s internal monologue was a riot and Tommy had no filter, also hilarious. Dash is a cleaner and Tommy a mobster who is supposed to be dead. Dash breaks the rules and does what’s right in helping Tommy. Not sure he realized how big of a mess he was in but with Tommy there to protect him, he was all in.

Loved every single second of it, from the little surprises to the comedy with the maid thing.
Dash is so funny, it’s really great to see a character that matches Tommy’s vibe so well, the way they act together was really cute and I wish we could get more of it!
And the piercing, wasn’t expecting it and it made 100% better

The Elite Book 1
Tommy and Dash were so different! One a cleaner, one a mob child. I loved that we got a completely unique story featuring a cleaner. I’ve never read a book that included a person who cleaned up deaths with such precision. What a fantastic story. Highly Recommended
