Description
In the first novel in the Breathless trilogy—now celebrating its 10th Anniversary—a man is about to have his fantasies come true with a woman who was once forbidden fruit, and is now 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. So what if he’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.
Reviews
Would not recommend.
1By Sweett2311This book went a little too far in the descriptive love scenes to the point where it’s a bit disturbing. Maybe trying too hard? Total rip off of 50 shades.Can’t read the whole book.
1By Gotti_I’m not sure why but I bought this book and am not getting access to the whole thing.Must read!!!
5By HyLe2222This is one of the best books I have read in a long while! Definitely kept me on edge wanting to know what was going to happen next. By the end of the book I was in tears!!!Rush
5By KateLeClaireBetter than I imagined it would be! Can’t wait to read more!!A love story
5By RostsbfLove conquers all. Well written.Not much of a rush
1By StellaBearNo substance to the characters. No excitement if they get together or don’t.Loved it!
5By JensoupGreat book, almost reminded me of 50 shades of grey at times. But I love all of the Maya Banks books I’ve red so far!!Ugh. Next
2By RunwayKayI will start by saying that I tend to be a fan of dom/sub books but I didn’t like this one. I don’t like the characters. Gabe cursing at her triggered me. He also wasn’t respectful at all in regards to sex. He just used to her as a convenient hole and she just took it.The only one in the series that is good
4By BKHINTZThis is a good one, don’t waste your time on the others. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of is I felt there was a LOT of repetitiveness in it, but other than that I loved the main characters in thisLove. Recommend.
5By LimitAdsPleaseLoved it. Definitely recommend. Purchasing the rest of the collection. Hooked. 💕Amazing
3By Lissieboo_1It was a lovely book! I enjoyed every minute of reading this book I couldn’t put it down I read it in two days!LOVED IT!
5By Bunnygirl1234556789This book was such an emotional rollercoaster.. I read it religiously and finished it in 4 days! Gabe and Mia are a very unconventional love story that will have your heart racingIve read better romance books
3By jadhtvhfdI thought this was going to be more romantic, less dominant. The dominance in the bedroom went over the top sometimes (but im not one to like a lot of bdsm) it just seemed odd for a woman seems shy to want to sign her life over to a very dominate man. If hes dominant he doesnt want a shy women. He has to make her feel brave first, then he’ll dominate her in the bedroom. it doesnt make sense. The dymamic seemed off. I did read all of it, but the beginning did not intrigue me, i was going to stop reading it because it was just her describing what everybody was thinking and feeling, not a lot of dialogue. It didnt pull at my heart strings after I finished reading it. There were no surprises, meaning that there was no anticipation, building up to find out this one secret(s). All the plots were all mundane. The author described the things as average. Such as she did not go in depth in a lot of parts of the book, instead she just explained it like any average person would. I dont think its worth the price they are selling it for. Sorry but this book was not executed well.Rush
5By NatAnt3Love the first book of the series. Hot and steamy 🔥Trilogy
5By Pili55These books were awesome! I couldn’t stop reading and I got so invested in the books. I read all three books in 3 days! I recommend these books 100%. I wished there were more books continuing this trilogy! You will fall in love with all the characters and will not want to stop reading!Rush
4By yelicortezzIdk why a lot of people hated this book. I thought it was pretty good. It wasn’t anything similar to 50 shades. I think it was worth 2.99Could’ve been so much better
3By atabex_writesI was excited when I first bought this book (at $.99, thank goodness), but now that I’ve finished it, I have mixed feelings about it. As exciting as the sex scenes were, I felt like there was so much lacking in character development and the story as a whole. I did not like the male lead, Gabe, at all. He was too entitled, controlling, and abusive for it not to raise any red flags big enough for Mia to just run out the door when everything began. I feel like it’s a good premise that could’ve been done so much better. As long as you’re into sexy stories that you know from the start are not to be taken too seriously, go ahead.BEAUTIFUL!
4By Melisa killEnjoyed reading Mia and Gabe’s story. Worth the the three dollars I payed. Really looking forward to reading the next two sequels. I saw a lot of reviews saying it was sad and heartbreaking—and that it was a copy of 50 shades of Grey. Those are total lies. This is not one bit remotely close it. I totally recommend reading this beautiful, fun and steamy story.Best book I’ve read yet!
5By btcheyyyI absolutely LOVED the book I had a little reservation at first seeing reviews some said it was a copy of 50 shades but I gave it a chance and it is one of the best books I’ve ever read I just finished it so 3ed night I’m up to 1 In the morning reading it when I’m religiously asleep by 9 lol Even thought I’m only 22 ! Only negative comment is I wanted it longer I didn’t want it to end ! AMAZING BOOK BY AN AMAZING AUTHOR !
