We are thrilled to interview Maya Banks and love having this opportunity to discuss The Breathless Trilogy and some of her favorite works. Sounds like there are lots of great things in store for Maya fans! Gabe, Jace, and Ash: three of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the country. They’re accustomed to getting anything they want. Anything at all. For Gabe, it’s making one particular fantasy come true with a woman who was forbidden fruit. Now she’s ripe for the picking... 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 fourteen 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 vulnerable to a betrayal far more intimate than either expected.
Jace, Ash, and Gabe: three of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the country. They’re accustomed to getting anything they want. Anything at all. For Jace, it’s a woman whose allure takes him 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.
Ash, Jace, and Gabe: three of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the country. They’re accustomed to getting anything they want. Anything at all. For Ash, it’s the woman who changes everything he’s ever known about dominance and desire...
When it comes to sex, Ash McIntyre has always explored his wilder side—extreme and uncompromising. He demands control. And he prefers women who want it like that. Even the women he’s shared with his best friend, Jace.
But Jace is involved with a woman he has no intention of sharing. And now even Gabe has settled into a relationship with a woman who gives him everything he needs, leaving Ash feeling restless and unfulfilled.
Then Ash meets Josie, who seems immune to his charms and his wealth. Intrigued, he begins a relentless pursuit, determined she won’t be the one who got away. He never imagined the one woman to tell him no would be the only woman who’d ever drive him to the edge of desire.

4 Star Review by Lisa Kane
Burn is the last of the Breathless Trilogy. Having read Gabe and Jace’s stories, I was anxious to see how Ash would manage to change his self-centered ways. With Gabe engaged to Jace’s sister Mia (Rush) and Jace settled in with Bethany (Fever) Ash is the odd man out. He and Jace enjoyed having sex with the same woman for many years and that is no longer an option. Estranged from his family, he is feeling a little put out by all the changes around him. That is until he sees Josie at an outdoor café. He notices this beautiful woman who is so intent on sketching that she does not notice him walking towards her to start a conversation. He not only notices every little detail about her but he notices she is collared. She refuses his attention and walks away. Ash can’t get her out of his mind and he sets his investigators into motion.
Having found out where some of her work hangs he buys every last piece. His team informs him that she has sold her jewelry to a pawn shop and he buys it all. She tries to get the jewelry back (with the money from her sold art) she is told it has already been sold. Now that Ash knows what he needs to he manages to confront her he forces her to have dinner with him (she does want the jewelry back right?) and these two begin their dance.
The chemistry between them is combustible and his dominant side is what her submissive nature needs. There are no limits to the scenes these two enjoy; toys, restraints, blind folds, ass play –as long as these two have a tube of lube they are good to go!
“Hurt me then, Ash. I want it. I need it. I need you.”
They run into problems with her old Dom, Michael but Ash quickly puts a stop to that. His friends love her and she is slowly learning how to trust Ash and he is learning that a relationship with a woman can last more than a night or two.
There are several unsavory characters that pop up from Rush and Fever and they are dangerous. Not only are they dangerous they have no qualms about threatening and hurting women. Not only are they a threat but just when it seems that Ash and Josie just may get their HEA, Ash’s past actions threaten their relationship.
“The old adage about playing with fire came to mind. She’d definitely played, throwing caution to the wind, and as a result she’d been burnt."
Will these two be able to overcome these obstacles that are unraveling the delicate thread that unites them? Can two lost souls find the other half of themselves or are they destined to live their lives apart?
“I don’t deserve your love or your shine, but I want it because with you I can feel the sun. I don’t want to go back to those shadows.”
