"An incredible beginning to a series that will pull at your heartstrings! A true joy to read." 5 stars

Meet the Maverick Billionaires―sexy, self-made men from the wrong side of town who survived hell together and now have everything they ever wanted. But when each Maverick falls head-over-heels for an incredible woman he never saw coming, he will soon find that true love is the only thing he ever really needed...

Will Franconi has a dark past that he's kept a closely guarded secret―very few people have ever heard his real story and he plans to keep it that way. After surviving a hellish childhood, he's now living the dream life where everything he touches turns to gold. But something's missing. He doesn't quite know what until a simple letter from a teenage boy brings Harper Newman into his life. A woman who just might fill up the empty places inside him...if only he could ever be worthy of her love.

When a man has more money than he could possibly spend in five lifetimes, Harper has to ask herself what Will Franconi could possibly want from a woman like her? She's learned the hard way that rich men always get what they want no matter the cost. If it was just herself she had to worry about, Harper would manage, but she's guardian to her younger brother who depends on her for everything. After nearly losing his life in a car crash, she's vowed never to let anyone hurt him ever again.

Still, sometimes Harper can't help but long to change her story from one of an always-cautious woman to an adventurous tale of a heroine who's wild and free...especially when Will's kisses and caresses make her utterly breathless. And as he begins to reveal his story to her, she discovers that he's so much more than just another wealthy, privileged man. He's kind and giving, and he fills up all the spaces inside of her heart that have been empty for so long. Together, can they rewrite their stories into a happily-ever-after that neither of them had previously thought was possible?

4.0 out of 5 stars Breathless!
Reviewed in Canada on June 10, 2015
Breathless In Love is a great start to The Maverick Billionaires series by Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully, and it will leave you breathless!

I really enjoyed this well written, well paced book and all the characters in it! Will has done very well for himself, despite a difficult childhood that led him down some dark pathways. As good as he's done though, he doesn't feel good about himself or where he came from, he doesn't feel good enough for anyone. He hides his past well. When he meets Harper, he is immediately drawn to her...enchanted. Not just sexually, but in every way he didn't expect. Harper is her younger brother's guardian. She does her best (which is great!), she's very protective of him, and refuses to rely on or count on anyone. After one too many bad relationships, she's determined to keep her heart safely locked away. She didn't expect to meet someone like Will, and she has no idea what he sees in her that makes him want her so much.

Will not only likes Harper, he is quite fond of her brother Jeremy, and soon their lives are intertwining. Will pursues Harper, and he is so sweet and caring and real! Harper tries to resist, but her heart and even her mind won't let her. As the layers of Will are peeled away, how will Harper feel about him? Will's biggest fear is that she will discover he can never be good enough for her. Will Harper let Will in? Her biggest fear is caring only to suffer heart break not only for herself, but for Jeremy also.

I liked Will and Harper together. They are different but have similarities, and they really work well together. I could feel the connection, not to mention the heat! I really hoped they'd both take a chance. I loved the maturity of their characters and how the life experiences they've both had. There was no unnecessary drama. There is tension and inner turmoil, and this worked well with these characters. Harper's brother Jeremy is a strong secondary character who was really endearing!

I liked meeting the Maverick brothers, they are a strong group of men who I really look forward to reading more about.

I'd recommend Breathless In Love to any romance reader.

I received a free copy for an honest review.

I don’t think Bella Andre writes a bad story. I always seem to fall in love with the characters and almost feel sad when their story comes to an end. This is another great story that can be read as a stand-alone or you can continue to read about the others in the series to see what is in store for them.

3.0 out of 5 stars PERSONALLY, NOT A FAVORITE.
Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2018

This was a really sweet billionaire story, with a flip in that the billionaire doesn't feel worthy of the girl. It was really well written and the characters very likeable. My lack of enthusiasm is likely more of personal taste. I think the billionaire thing is really overdone. I like books with a bit more angst and stronger protagonists. Finally, it is repeated quite often everyone's need for speed and excitement.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, heart-warming, a bit overdramatic
Reviewed in Germany on March 12, 2019

A bit far-fetched perhaps, and at stages quite unrealistic, but overall a sweet and heartwarming romance, not least through the introduction of the female protagonist's brother Jeremy.
When speed-loving Jeremy writes to billionaire Will Franconi, he and his sister Harper leave quite an impression on Will, who in turn tries to make Harper see her wild side. She, however, has been responsible for her disabled brother from a very young age, and is no one to shirk responsibilities. Will is convinced anyway that his past prevents him from deserving something as sweet as Harper and her brother.
As I said, a bit far-fetched, also, after the fourth repetition of Will hinting at his dark past and not being deserving of Harper, I think even an inattentive reader will have understood the hint. It really did not have to be repeated a tenth, or fifteenth, or even twentyfifth time - unless the author needed filler text, of course, because otherwise the story would have been much shorter?
That was really the worst criticism from my part, I could overlook the little unrealistic scenes or behaviourisms, Jeremy was just too sweet to be true, and the ending was just perfect for everyone involved, including the reader.
I would definitely like to get my hand on more books in this series.
