The Breathless Trilogy

Well, if you haven't had enough of Fifty Shades of Grey, then I suggest you check out Maya Banks' The Breathless Trilogy. I'm not going to lie, I was a bit annoyed at the beginning because it is so much like the story of Ana and Christian. Younger girl, contract, wealthy and attractive man, etc. 

But, I ended up finishing the book in 4 days. There is something about a man who has his stuff together, knows what he wants, and can take care of a lady. Aside from the explicit sexual content of the book, I'm always drawn to the love story. 

Gabe Hamilton, Jace Crestwell, and Ash McIntyre are three wealthy, attractive men. Best friends since college and business partners too. They are used to getting anything and everything they desire. They are into dominant/submissive sexual relationships. That is until each one is faced with a game-changer. 

Rush.

Mia Crestwell is Jace Crestwell's little sister. Their parents were killed by a drunk driver when they were little and Jace has taken care of Mia ever since. He paid her way through college, grad school, and has supported her in every way he can. Mia is highly over qualified for her job at a local pastery and coffee shop until Gabe Hamilton makes his way into her life. Gabe Hamilton changes from her brother's best friend to her dominant lover. They keep their relationship a secret… But not for long! Mia surprises herself by enjoying every bit of her submission to Gabe. He does not let her go untaken care of. 

What I loved about this trilogy was that each book focused on one of the three best friends and how one women changed each of their lives. It wasn't boring or repetitive because each man had his own personality, yet all were faced with a life changing moment and everything that went with it. 

I finished the entire trilogy in a week and a half! I guess it's just the hopeless romantic in me. I've already picked up her next trilogy… Surrender. You could definitely say I'm going through withdrawals from this series. 

Again, if you liked 50 Shades of Grey, you MUST check out Maya Banks' The Breathless Trilogy. 

Rush. Fever. Burn.
