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.

Why all the bad reviews? I LOVED IT!

What did you love best about Rush?

I loved the story, loved Mia and her strength, hated Gabe (and don't we love to hate the villain!!)

What did you like best about this story?

That Mia trusted Gabe even though it was tough to do and he misused it sometimes.

Have you listened to any of Adam Paul’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I haven't

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really

"RUSH" to get back to the book. Do not disturb!

Loved it, hot steamy sex scenes. I love this author, you won't be disappointed if you like hot and steamy. ☆☆☆☆☆

Only male teller

I don’t like when the woman is read by a man and vice versa. Other than that story was ok

Good Story! Bad Narrator

I liked the story in this book yet little bit raw. The narrator did a poorly job with the voices of other characters and the love scenes just a flat note all together. He was reading the story fast. I decided not purchase the 2nd and 3rd book because of the narrator.

Good Story

I really wish Jim Frangione had been the narrator. His "Vicious" really would have been the voice for this story. That's all I can add to any of the reviews that are already out there.

Predictable but still good

I really liked this one, and the narration was good as well. The story itself was a little predictable, but not overly so, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Another great series for Maya Banks

Where does Rush rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was a very good book, goor romance with some interesting sex as well

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rush?

The hotel scene in Paris was memorable. I couldn't believe Gabe was going to be such an idiot.

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

Gabe was my favourite. I really enjoy a strong male voice to bring characters to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Just about, I listened on a long road trip!

wow

thought at first I would hate this book. but it had a GREAT ending. I cried

Spicy!

I really enjoyed this book! A sexy brooding billionaire, Gabe, falls In love with his best friends little sister after a long history of contractual relationships after his ex-wife trashes his name and business.

Narrator makes it a little creepy otherwise its ok

Would you try another book from Maya Banks and/or Adam Paul?

I have other books by Maya Banks but this is my first time with Adam Paul. He is not a bad narrator but he seems miscast for this type of series.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Story was ok. Nothing super original or that hasn't already been done in this genre already. Lots of similarities to FSoG and overall it is better written than the Crossfire series.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

His voice is too mature for a 38 year old man. If the main character was an older gentlemen then he would have been a good fit here.

Did Rush inspire you to do anything?

Not really

Any additional comments?

I am going to give the second book a go even if it does sound like David Rossi from Criminal Minds is talking dirty to me!
