In the second novel in the Breathless trilogy, a woman’s undeniable allure takes a dominant man completely by surprise… Jace Crestwell, Ash McIntyre, and Gabe Hamilton have been best friends and successful business partners for years. They’re powerful, they’re imposing, they’re irresistibly sexy, and Jace and Ash share everything—including their women. When they meet Bethany, Jace begins to … meet Bethany, Jace begins to feel things he’s never experienced before: jealousy, and a powerful obsession that threatens him, overwhelms him—and excites him beyond control.
Jace isn’t sharing Bethany—with anyone. He’s determined to be the only man in her life, and it’s jeopardizing a lifelong friendship with Ash. Bethany will be his and his alone. Even if it means turning his back on his best friend.

Loved it.
MAYA BANKS BOOKS ARE ALWAYS FANTASTIC, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR HER NEXT BOOK.
Fever is putting the heat level mildly! Maximum steam coming your way with a great story and characters you grow to love.
How do you turn a hedonist into a one woman man? Find the woman he does not want to share- ever. The path to true love never runs smooth, but in this story it takes a few twists along the way, too! Enjoyed the characters, all of whom have a good deal of baggage. Overall, this was a great story that kept me reading until the last page.
Bethany is homeless with her foster brother Jack. She gets a gig with a catering company and working Mia’s engagement party. Jace owns hotels and is Mia’s brother. He and his best friend Ash have been sharing women for years. But one glance at Bethany and Jace is willing to share just to be with her.
After all the fun and games played the night before, Bethany slips out and disappears from Jace. Jace looks the town upside down until he finds her. It takes a lot of convincing to get her to stay but Jace is determined to make her his.
Kinky sex. BDSM. SECRETS. A true Cinderella story.
From the Breathless series (Fever, Burn, and Rush) I read this some time ago as one of the three books in this storyline and enjoyed them all. Three of Maya Banks best books in my opinion.
Not as good as the first in the series. A bit unbelievable.
This is a reread or really a listen for me since I grabbed it on audio and it was just a good this time around. Jace is used to sharing his women with Ash, his best friend and business partner but when he sees a woman across the room at his sister, Mia, and Gabe, his friend and business partner, engagement party he is intrigued and for the first time does not want to share. Ash spies the woman and doesn’t know Jace’s intent so, of course they spend the night together. Bethany disappears before morning and Jace is frantic to find her. How do you find a homeless woman? When he does he doesn’t want to let her go. So many twists to find their way and add in a foster brother with a drug problem and an accidental OD to bring them together to find their happy ever after.
After Jace has come to accept that one of his best friends and business partners, Gabe, is in love with his little sister, Mia, 14 years their junior, he is inexplicably attracted to a young woman about the same age working at Gabe and Mia’s engagement party. For years he and Ash, the third business partner having been sharing their women, but he doesn’t want to share Bethany. Failure to communicate has Bethany running away. She has been living on the streets for years after escaping horrible foster homes. When his obsession becomes clear, Ash does a background check, but that only makes Jace more frantic to find her, which he finally does in a shelter. Convincing her that he wants to take care of her and introducing her to his kinky life will take more work than he ever invested in a woman, but he is obsessed and all she has ever wanted was someone to love and take care of her. Can he convince her that she is all he needs? Wonderful characters, lots of steam and a convincing story. I like that this trilogy is about 3 different couples, unlike 50 Shades, which I felt should have been one book, not 3 just to sell more books. Only negative, is there was never an explanation, why Jace and Ash were so into threesomes.
“WHAT THE EVER-LOVING FUCK” (yes, I’m going to use this in all of the Breathless reviews)
This book is the second book in the Breathless Trilogy. This book follows the story of Jace and Bethany.
The books starts off with Jace meeting Bethany during a catering event. Jace offers to pay Bethany to have a threesome with Ash, his best friend/business partner and himself. Bethany is homeless and her brother, Jack is always in trouble. Jace has fell in love with Bethany and decides he no longer wants to share her. Bethany has had a troubled past and very low self-esteem. Bethany has a hard time allowing Jace into her life and her heart. She overcomes many feelings and issues before finally accepting Jace as new part of her life.
I really enjoyed this book. Although, there were many times where I was literally screaming, “Don’t be dumb!” to Bethany. I found that this book was very fast moving and somewhat unrealistic but I am very happy that I read it.
Should be classified as soft pornography. This author usually does better than this.
Any book that I’ve read from Maya Banks has been wonderful. She never lets you down.
Loving this series!
best book of the series!!! I love Jace super super love .. i love how controlling he is but at the same time his attitude command everything around whetever he is.. Jace and Ash always shared their woman until Jace meet Bethany.. he doesn’t want to share her, he feels possessive and tries to hide why he doesn’t want Ash to sleep with her.. but the first time he shared her with Ash and Jace doesn’t feel comfortable, he is angry and he is jealous that he is sharing her.. bethany doesn’t have a nice place to live she is homeless and hungry and she is working hard to be able to eat .. until Jace sees her across the room from one of the parties he is with his friends.. he can’t let her leave but he doesn’t want to make move so Ash won’t approach her.. but it was too late because Ash knew Jace and he saw staring at Bethany all night long so he peruse her and invite her to go upstair with both of them.. and thats when the who story of love begins.. you will see how Jace is so possessive with her and slowly will make her fall in love with him.. there are a few time Jaces makes a mistakes thinking Bethany is cheating or doing something wrong and thats when the story gets a little complicated but nothing that love can’t solve… I really love the story of Jace and Bethany.. and what can i say? the sex amazing… Jace is a super dirty talker and knows what he is doing…
