Synopsis
Rylee Thomas is used to being in control. But she’s about to meet the one man that just might make her enjoy losing it…
I am the exception to the rule.
In a world full of willing women, I’m a challenge to the roguish and achingly handsome Colton Donavan. A man used to getting exactly what he wants in all aspects of life. He’s the reckless bad boy constantly skating that razor thin edge toward out of control, on and off of the track.
Colton crashes into my life like a tornado: sapping my control, testing my vulnerabilities beyond their limits, and unintentionally penetrating the protective wall around my healing heart. Tearing apart the world I rebuilt so carefully with structure, predictability, and discipline.
I can’t give him what he wants and he can’t give me what I need. But after a glimpse beneath his refined exterior into the dark secrets of his damaged soul, can I bring myself to walk away?
Our sexual chemistry is undeniable. Our individual need for complete control is irrefutable. But when our worlds collide, is the chemistry enough to bring us together or will our untold secrets and battle of wills force us apart?

Review
Sometimes the right man steps into your life...and sometimes you fall into the wrong one!
I'm completely obsessed with these two. I see a little of myself in Rylee. She's a little broken, but spends her time trying to help and fix others. She feels deeply, but uses music to express the feeling she can't always share. And what girl wouldn't like a little closet action with a sexy, rogue like Colton. From the outside, it looks like he has it all. Famous racecar driver, Hollywood parents, and a bevy of blonde beauties on his arm. Deep inside he's a damaged little boy.
I see exactly why Rylee couldn't let him go. He helped heal some of her emotional scars from the accident, and made her truly live again. Unfortunately, Colton wouldn't or maybe even couldn't, let Rylee do the same for him. It broke my heart! You see him interact with the kids and with Rylee, and there is a little glimmer hope.
This isn't your standard, poorly written sexy reads (which I won't name). While it is sexy and lighthearted at some points, DRIVEN has deep emotions behind the story. It was very reminiscent of author Megan Hart's writing. The story is also so tragic at some points. Listening to Rylee describe the crash brought tears to my eyes.
I listen to this book in two day, which is saying a lot with my hectic life. I didn't want to put it down. When it was over, I couldn't believe that it. I hurried over to my iPhone frantically checking to see if there was a second part or chapter I was missing. It left me in complete shock! Holy cliffhanger Batman! I spent the rest of the day at work, wishing that I have Bk 2 right away. I can't say that many books have ellicited this kind of response from me.

I picked this audiobook up for two reasons. First, my background in motorsports, drew me to this story. And the fact that Tatiana Sokolov narrated it, made it an absolute must listen! I enjoyed how Tatiana was able to create very distinct voices for each of the characters. She was able to convey this books true humor, passion, and pain. Not to mention, that her voice makes me happy. (Yes, I know that sounds cheesy.) She really made the book come to life for me!
I only have one teeny, tiny complaint. While I LOVE the cover on it's own, I think that it doesn't really connect with the book for me. This book does have it's hot moments, but the cover lead me to believe that this was going to be more erotica then romance. The cover might be a slight disservice to the book.
If you are look for something more then your standard romance, this is the book for you. It's sweet, sexy, and well thought out. I can't wait to order FUELED Bk 2 in this series!
