By K. Bromberg
A LOT of people have compared this to 50 Shades of Grey in so many ways, good and bad. I think a lot of books Romance/Erotica books do though, once there's sex in a book it nearly automatically gets compared to 50 Shades because obviously without a doubt it's one of the more,if not the most famous Romance book with plenty of Erotica content in it. Its not always a bad thing to get compared to the amazing though. Everybody loved 50 Shades and other similar books simply because of the story it told and that is why we like books that are similar or 'familiar' in that way once they are not the same and honestly most of the time they are not except for the fact there is a Hot moody alpha and a whole lot of hot sex and I didn't find driven to be like 50 shades at all nothing jumped out at me, one scene reminded me of Gideon cross but other than that I don't see it whether good or bad. I LOVED 50 shades and I LOVE Driven, K. Bromberg, both equally but for different reasons because simply they are different stories and Driven deserves to be appreciated how good it is by itself, in its own right, K. Bromberg done a spectacular job.
so anyway on with my ***5 STAR REVIEW
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?
This the story of Rylee Thomas complete control freak with the kindest heart and Colton Donovan who is used to getting what he wants and needing control himself. Rylee is a head strong smart beautiful woman and is not easily intimidated but she also has a past like Colton Donovan that Drives the need for complete control, but she is can be vulnerable at times which we see for a brief moment at the beginning of her story.
"Finally, I surrender to my intense need to escape and start pounding on the door with the heels of my hands. Shouting loudly. Cursing sporadically. Begging for someone to hear me and open the door. For someone to save me again."
you immediately want to dig deeper into who Rylee Thomas is and why she fights hard not to be vulnerable, why she fights constantly with her self to be in control and not to be vulnerable. Rylee has a heart of gold and my heart burst and melted when we get to meet the young boys that Rylee looks after day in day out, does what she can and will go above and beyond for them especially when further in you find out her situation. (I am not going to give everything now. READ THE BOOK!)
"These boys and my staff are my second family. They fuel me emotionally and challenge me mentally. At times they try my patience and push my limits, but I love them with all my heart.."
And she really does it is beautiful. But oh my! Colton and his tenderness with these kids. With Aiden and Zander! It really pulled at my heart strings and I think they are the moments that push past Rylee's walls around her heart because she is more passionate about them boys than life itself and as aloof as Colton can be, being around these kids shows Rylee maybe there is something there, something to fight for.
Colton Donovan is an arrogant SOB , he oozes confident and he is so damn hot, a sexy man with a delicious filthy mouth that is constantly pushing Rylee's limits and getting under her skin from their very first encounter.
'He raises an eyebrow, noticing my slow inspection of him. "No apologies needed," he responds in a cultured rasp with just a hint of edge. His voice evokes images of rebellion and sex. "i'm used to women falling at my feet." my head snaps up. I can only hope he's joking but..'
Colton Donovan is a posessive man but he is not as intense an the normal main Alpha male in a romance/erotica book he never claims to be a gentleman, in fact he claims to be the complete opposite but he is flirtatious and playful but makes it clear when he claims what is his and he does exactly this with Rylee.
"oh, and Ryles, just so you know, that wasn't a warning, sweetheart. That was a promise."
"Don't push me Rylee, I don't like sharing.... You. Belong. With. Me"
Swoooon!TALK ABOUT HOTTT!!
I loved Colton because right from the start he has you smirking, smiling like an idiot and rooting for him and I love it like that when you love them right up until in typical man style they do a bloody stupid thing and your frustrated with them and hate them but honestly couldn't throughout the whole book just like Ryles he Donovan has some protective walls around him no matter how cocky he is but he see's no point in letting Rylee or anyone for that matter break through them even though that's all he does for Rylee, he breaks down her walls little by little. He completely melted my heart and I tried to be frustrated with him when needed but honestly my heart aching for him was stronger than the need to want to hate him a little for standing in the way of his own happiness.
" 'I just want it to be you and me.' He leans in, brushing his lips against mine in a brief but tender kiss, emphasizing his last words."
"Rylee, i'm not one of your troubled kids that needs fixing. I've been fucked up for way too long to be fixed now, so don't get that look in your eye that you know different. Some of the best shrinks in L.A. couldn't do it, so I doubt you'd be able to."
It breaks my heart, hell it frustrates me, but I feel like Rylee I want to help him, try fix him, and I guess that is why I love Rylee she can be so relatable to many people she is the fixer and wants to fix everyone but not herself and in a way so does Colton.
The chemistry between these too characters is electrifying and fueled from the get-go, it is pouring from them and you can get so lost in the moment with the characters and it's even hotter in the bedroom (Or tied to the Kitchen counter) either way it was hot, and completely sexually charged and had my breathing hitching at some points. It's is everything you could expect from a Romance and then some!
I can't believe I haven't read it before now but I'm happy I haven't because the big unexpected Cliffhanger I really was not expecting it and I expect everything lol! I torture myself while reading books with several characters in it, trying to know what is going to happen before getting to it and honestly I expecting some bitchy move from tawny and that is what I was anticipating with each page and each inkling that something was creeping up and as in drew nearer to the end I just cocluded tha they were getting their happy ending and their story was coming to an end and that the next book was going to be one of the other characters, preferably Haddie and Beckett's all consuming love story!! ( A girl can dream) but I hadn't done much research on the details before hand because I simply didn't want to ruin it for myself which I have a bad habit of doing but then OH BOY was I shocked I shouted at them last two/three pages and tears of shock actually sprung to my eyes! I was in complete shock but that sweet priceless excerpt from the continual of Rylee's and Colton's story. I forgave K. Bromberg lol!
To sum it all up it was an amazing journey full of fun,emotion and a hot hot alpha with sexually charged moments that will make you fall in love with Ace and Ryles that you will only understand by reading the book.And I want to praise and show love for K. Bromberg and I won't hesitate to one click her books! Her writing is phenomenal. I write but I decided to start writing reviews till I have the experience to write my story one day and its authors like the lovely K. Bromberg that make me think WHOA how would I ever write something like that? but also motivates and inspires me. Amazing. I have fallen in love with Mr. Colton Donovan. And immediately one clicked fueled the second book in the series!!
"The bad boy with a touch of vulnerability who leaves you breathless and steals your heart." - perfectly summed up by Rylee Thomas herself! ;-)
enjoy! hope I did the book justice!
