Fever by Maya Banks

Fever (The Breathless Trilogy, #2) (Breathless Trilogy (PB), #2)

by Maya Banks

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 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.

I adore Maya Banks. Her Historical romances are some of the best out there. I will pretty much read anything she writes. However, from all the series of her I've read, this one is my least favorite, and I usually love possessive, controlling Alpha males.

Bethany is homeless. Broke. Hardened by the rough streets and yet breakable. She is delicate, fragile, scarred inside. She knows there is no such things as miracles, or fairy-tales in real life, and she knows there is no such thing as 'happily-ever-after' for girls like her. The fight for survival is never ending and constant in her world.

Because of all that, she can't understand why a guy like Jace, who is rich, handsome and can get any woman he wants, probably whenever he wants and where he wants, would want with her. Let alone love her, care for her or want to keep her safe.

But it seems like that's exactly what Jace wants, and that he's going to make sure of it whether she wants him too or not. Sure, he'll go slow at first - or as slow as a dominating guy like him can go - but ultimately she'll be his, completely...
