Publisher's summary

Ash, Jace, and Gabe: three of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the country. They're accustomed to getting anything they want. Anything at all. For Ash, it's the woman who changes everything he’s ever known about dominance and desire....

When it comes to sex, Ash McIntyre has always explored his wilder side - extreme and uncompromising. He demands control. And he prefers women who want it like that. Even the ones he's shared with his best friend, Jace.

But Jace is involved with a woman he has no intention of sharing. And now even Gabe has settled into a relationship with someone who gives him everything he needs, leaving Ash feeling restless and unfulfilled.

Then Ash meets Josie, who seems immune to his charms and his wealth. Intrigued, he begins a relentless pursuit, determined she won’t be the one who got away. He never imagined the one woman to tell him no would be the only woman who’d ever drive him to the edge of desire.

What did you love best about Burn?

This is the third installment in the Breathless Series-A Series that isn't more than it claims to be. These are not complex, challenging books to listen to. The characters are not super deep...if you are looking for an easy read with straight forward plot that is mostly about sex-this is it.

What other book might you compare Burn to and why?

Rush
Fever
Burn

What three words best describe Adam Paul’s voice?

Strong, solid, steady.

I am always impressed with male narrators who can portray female characters without making them sound like effeminate men-he does a good job.

Any additional comments?

NOTE: Strong language and explicit sex

Disappointed

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I loved how the series was going with the first two books. Burn seemed like it was ...well. rushed, like She ran out of ideas of where to go with it. The story was just good. instead of the awesome I was expecting. I REALLY wanted to loved , but just like it and over all it was a let down to the series build up.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Not sure but something along the lines of Maya, Nora, J.R....

my thoughts

I have not been much of a reader but with Audible Books I have found that listing to them is wonderful . I have been following Maya Banks and her story's that have toughed me in a lot of ways . I like the way she leads me thru each story never knowing what is next but showing me a lot of way I feel about this world, I'd like to be able to make the world as she does in her story's . Mrs M. Banks thank you for at least in your story's thing will always be to the betterment of life.

Loved the series!

The whole series was great. Hot and steamy and full of hot rich men. What else could you ask for. The narrator was great, keeps your attention.

Loved It!

Love the female characters in these books. I wanna join them for Girls Night Out!

Trilogy!

A great trilogy! Start with book 1 and follow if you like stories with romance, intrigue, and not vanilla sex. Second series by Maya Banks

WONDERFUL COMPELLING ENDING TO AN INTENSE TRILOGY

Yet again Maya Bank's crafts another well-written awesome book that has passion, hot hot sex, danger, romance, tension, comedy and fills it with the main characters having both sexual and sensual chemistry by the bucket full and the story just seamlessly flowed into an intense action-packed listen. You can't help but become emotionally invested in her characters and the trials and tribulations they inevitably become involved in as their love story slowly and deliciously unfolds.

Ash, an alpha male whose complex, handsome, dominant, filthy rich, controlling, very charismatic and tortured by his past but he feels something's missing from his life - then he sees Josie across the Park and finally all the pieces suddenly fit together and, as their eyes meet, it was lust, and maybe love, at first sight. He was a tender, thoughtful, protective but a dominant lover and that's just how Josie wanted it. That is until secrets and betrayal threatened everything but worse was yet to come as a previous enemy seeks revenge and launches an attack that was shocking and nearly ruined all three men's perfect lives.

Very plot invested secondary characters who brought a lot of fun, drama and depth to the storyline without drowning it. Not really a stand-alone listen.

Worth a credit? Yes it would've been but my 'under $10' rule applied so I just bought it and very glad I did as Ash is both my Forbidden Fantasy and my Knight in Shining Armour and it's been a great series.

I Always thoroughly enjoy reading a good series
