Gabe Hamilton is one of the sexiest, most powerful businessmen. Gabe along with his two best friends Ash and Jace have gone from childhood friends to three of the richest men in America. Gabe isn't just powerful in the boardroom he controls the bedroom as well. After a bitter divorce Gabe doesn't think he will ever trust another woman with his heart so he has found a way to keep his sex life all business. To ensure both parties involved know what to expect from the get go, Gabe has a contract that covers all aspects of his "relationships". Gabe has been with countless women and he was satisfied but now Gabe has decided to take the greatest risk of his life at his secret desire, Mia.

Mia Crestwell isn't intimidated by Gabe. Mia has known him for years as one her brother's best friends. For a time Gabe was like a big brother to her. Then as Mia grew up he became her secret crush. Now as a grown woman Gabe has become her deepest darkest desire. Mia isn't fooling herself in thinking he will ever see her as anything other than Jace's little sister but a girls allowed to fantasize. Then a chance encounter alone with Gabe one night and they both gave into the temptation of a heated kiss. Now Mia has signed the contract and what happens next is all up to Gabe as he has all the power and holds all the cards with the contract, or does he?

RUSH is a daring, carnal novel. Author Maya Banks' new Breathless Trilogy lives up to the title's promise; you will be breathless as you read it. RUSH introduces the readers to the captivating three best friends that makes you crave more. Gabe and Mia's story isn't just about sex and D/s, in true form for author Banks, the characters come to life and their struggles become your own. The griping storyline will ensure you can't put the book down until the end. I for one stayed up until the wee hours of the morn, just to see what happens next.

I recommend this book to readers who like the steamier romance novels. Warning: the sex is explicit, just the way I love it! There are three strong sexy alpha males and one kick-ass woman who just needs to trust her instincts. The combination is explosive as the Fourth of July and as hot as my hometown Phoenix in the summer!

SUMMARY

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.
