I liked it. Rush may not have been on par with a couple of my favorites in the Sweet series, but I enjoyed Gabe and Mia's relationship dynamic. Gabe was an exciting dominant, and I didn't think he ill-treated Mia at all. Mia was curious, if a little hesitant, but her years-long attraction to Gabe helped to understand why she decided to be with him under his terms. However, Mia was no pushover; neither was she an obnoxiously stubborn person fighting Gabe every step of the way. The sex was at turns titillating and outright hot. Gabe's unflagging sexual appetite certainly was a rush. The story lost a little steam when Gabe became overwhelmed with guilt over his perceived bad treatment of her, but weirdly, at the same time that's when their relationship turned romantic. It still worked for me. Rush is a good read at 3.5 stars.
