Publisher's summary

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 14 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 is vulnerable to a betrayal far more intimate than either expected.

Fantastic love scenes

Would you consider the audio edition of Rush to be better than the print version?

The audio performance is most certainly better than the print version. It is commanding, suspenseful, erotic and almost unreal in its journey to self fulfillment.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rush?

There are so many memorable moments of Rush, but one which stands out to me, is the fact that Mia chose to sign the contract knowing full well the consequences of her signature.

Which character – as performed by Adam Paul – was your favorite?

The character of Mia, the innocent looking slut, the vulnerable heroine, the ice queen who loves to have sex all the time.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Sex is a natural addiction and the story of Rush - trilogy book 1 illustrates the power of sex and its all consuming desires in the minds of both men and women.

Any additional comments?

I wonder which character is Maya Bank in the Trilogy book 1.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this book and the Narriator did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life. Lots of emotions in this one.

Ready for the next

Twist and turns were riveting. I thought at first it would mirror FSOG too much, but turned out to hold its own. Nice and can't wait to read #2.

Love this book!

If you could sum up Rush in three words, what would they be?

An erotic romance that is well written. I like the fact it is written with emotions showing.

Which character – as performed by Adam Paul – was your favorite?

It took me awhile to get used to this performer. I as not sure about him but got used to him part way through. He's ok but now as good as some performs I have listened to.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait until the next 2 books. I've liked all of Maya Banks books I have read.

Stayed up all night to finisg this one!

Dont know why there are so many neg reviews. I loved the story. As
with all of Mayas books this is not for the faint of heart. Adam Paul did well narrating. He got a lot of flack for shades of grey and now this i dont see or rather hear the problem.

Pretty good listen.

I enjoyed this book when I read. Now, listening to someone else read it, I didn't get the same enjoyment. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I envisioned their voices differently or something but there it is.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book I knew they were going to get caught but Gab stepped up

steamy listen

really well narrated - everyone has a distinct voice. well written story, not my favorite but that's more about my personal preference than the quality of the work

I love this book.

Incredible, sweet and intense. I've read the series before and keep coming back for more.

It just depends

If this is your first read in this genre, great; if not, it's cookie cutter.
