Maximum Rush

Author review
4 magical stars.
I’m going to start this review with a big unhappy face, but before you walk away or have a tantrum hold up, wait a minute... cause then I’m going with huge smiles. I’m sad for the end of the Hadley but smiles for the oldest and pretty much the biggest douche to get his own with the best woman in the world to tame him.
Rush Hadley is a magic man, no literally – he plays for the biggest audiences and sows his seeds with any wanton woman. Unlike his other siblings, marriage , girlfriends. Not Ever Going To Happen! He is more than happy with his single life, but now he is returning to Reverence for his brother and sister’s weddings, and things for Rush are about to get really real.
One quote for Godiva magazine, that is all Max O’Keefe needs to get from billionaire playboy and world famous magician, Rush Hadley. What she gets instead is a manwhore offering her services that sweet Max really doesn’t want to handle and a huge game changer – one interview (the only interview ever given), with one huge condition. She must be his partner for the upcoming weddings in Reverence and in return she will get that one game changing interview that will escalate her job as a journalist. But having family issues, leaving her mum with a baby 2 months, and spending that time with God’s gift to women is not something she wants to do... but with an opportunity like this, her mum sends her packing.
From the 1st step on his private jet, Maxi is less then impressed by his need to overindulge himself, or she can pretend she is. There is so much more to Rush Hadley than the world sees. He is not all about sexing random women, nudity and a huge P – sorry I mean head. But once they are in his home in Vegas then in his family home in Reverence, what she finds is a whole different man. Although he has an ego to outdo the biggest douche bag, his soft sweet side is showing with his non woman by his side.
Together in his hometown and in his home Rush and Max will discover the worth of family, and despite her best efforts – each other. But as they grow closer and denial takes over, their own stupidity may spell the end of each other before they get that real opportunity to be together. For Max not wanting to open up and agree that falling for him is actually happening, her past knowledge of who he is, her home life in Australia not being anything like his and her hilarious inner mind that plays out during the story.
For Rush, wanting and getting women was never a problem, but feelings he never expected blow his world apart for his little nun. This woman who was uptight, quiet and would blush at the thought of nakedness has turned into a partner but his non woman. Stupidly he sleeps with her then basically breaks her heart with his constant push aways. But as their time comes to an end, Max questions her job wants compared to family, and although she knows there is no long term with Rush she discovers being a journalist may not the best option for her and Sarah. Rush doesn’t know what hit him until Maxi leaves him and returns to Australia. Cross wires and dropping out calls may be the end of the pair... If only Rush wakes up in time to realise Maxi is his woman.
