Gabe, Jace, and Ash: three of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the country. They’re accustomed to getting anything they want. Anything at all. For Gabe, it’s making one particular fantasy come true with a woman who was forbidden fruit. Now she’s ripe for the picking...

When Gabe Hamilton saw Mia Crestwell walk into the ballroom for his hotel’s grand opening, he knew he was going to hell for what he had planned. After all, Mia is his best friend’s little sister. Except she’s not so little anymore. And Gabe has waited a long time to act on his desires.

Gabe has starred in Mia’s fantasies more than once, ever since she was a teenager with a huge crush on her brother’s best friend. So what if Gabe’s fourteen years older? Mia knows he’s way out of her league, but her attraction has only grown stronger with time. She’s an adult now, and there’s no reason not to act on her most secret desires.

As Gabe pulls her into his provocative world, she realizes there’s a lot she doesn’t know about him or how exacting his demands can be. Their relationship is intense and obsessive, but as they cross the line from secret sexual odyssey to something deeper, their affair runs the risk of being exposed—and vulnerable to a betrayal far more intimate than either expected.

 

 

Huge Fan of Maya Banks and was excited she was coming out with a new series. Was even more excited as Rush starts off The Breathless series with a crush on the older brother best friend.. I am a sucker for that.  

 

Rush is a bit different than her Sweet series. Still has the same BDSM, scorcher-panty-changer love scenes and a sexy couple in the bedroom department, but the hero is different than any of her typical heroes. Yes Gabe is still like her other heroes that she is known to write that are protective with an Alpha Male attitude but his tone was more blunt.  For his reasons he does not do relationships and has anyone he is sleeping with sign a contract. Yes I know first thing came to mind was another 50 story but no it was nothing like that at all.  Maya Banks is the queen of  BDSM novels. He is not a broken character that has to have BDSM as an escape. The ménage scene was different than any of her other ménage scenes but it fit the story line perfect and was heartbroken for Gabe.

 

I was so engross in the story I read it in one sitting. I had to know who would fall in love first and when her brother found out,  how it would play out. You know when have a older protective brother he is bound to find out that his baby sister is sleeping with his best friend. Not disappointed in both departments. I enjoyed Rush enough to continue The Breathless series. I look forward to seeing what Maya Banks does with Jace and Ash stories.
