Totallybooked blog has their say about Driven…
The ladies of Totallybooked says: “I found the characters captivating, their unfolding stories intriguing and the chemistry off the charts. Once this book hit its straps, it became an intense, steamy and emotional read which had me entertained right up to the finish line. There is so much more to Colton – exactly what is it in his past, what drives him, what makes him view relationships the way he does, why does he believe he is damaged beyond repair? Well, be sure to pick up this book and find out…….”
“I have been reading a lot of books lately and Driven just blew them away…”
“I have been reading a lot of books lately and Driven just blew them all away! Talk about a book to end a reading rut! I am still reeling from this book ripping through my emotions and leaving me desperate for more of this story. K. Bromberg’s Driven is more than a HOT cover… K. Bromberg has probably delivered the best cliff hanger ending to a series in a book I have ever read (and I read a LOT of trilogies). I will admit to immediately emailing her and begging her to tell me when the next book will come out like a crazy stalker…Congratulations K. Bromberg, you wrote a book that I can not stop thinking about and wishing August would get here soon! I will be pouting in the corner and trying to find something else to read that can fill the hole that Colton left behind. Sigh.”
“I had no idea Driven would be so consuming and amazing…”
Can I say roller coaster??????? Can I say ANGST??????? Mixed emotions???? Heartbreak??? Confusion??? ARGH!
I am speechless right now. I have NO IDEA that Driven would be so comsuming and amazing. The story started off slow, but when things started going down, shit got VERY interesting. Let me tell you that Driven will literally drive you insane!!!
Driven is the story of Rylee Thomas. She is a social worker who works with kids and young teenagers who do not have a home. At the place they call “The House”, Rylee takes pride in taking care of her boys. After her tragic accident two years before, Rylee believes that living in a “safe, comfortable and structured” way would be the best way for her to get over her heartbreak and guilt. Little does she know, they sudden and random appearane of the Colton Donovan challenges her to let go of her new self and re-discover the old Rylee by living to the fullest again. With the help of her best friend Haddie she is able to realize that living in her shadow is not the best way to cope with her past, therefore she attempts to let out her “inner slut” with Colton. However, will Rylee be able to conform to Colton’s ways, and will she be able to leave her feelings at bay? or is she single-handedly walking straight into a heartbreak?
Like I was saying, when I first started reading Driven, I was having a hard time connecting with any of the characters because the beginning dragged on a bit too much. I started getting bored, so it took me longer to get into the story and stick to it. To be honest, I was thinking of giving the book 3 stars at the beginning, but when I got to the middle……….
I was SHOCKED. I didn’t except Driven to have so many HOT and HEAVY sex scenes and all-around heart-shattering angst!!!
Rylee was your typical young adult who had a past that haunted her. She was strong and happy for the most part. I really liked her and I found her sassy attitude quite charming and funny.
Now, Colton…. What a messed up man. When I say messed up, I mean MESSED UP. He has major mommy and daddy issues, he has commitment issues, he has relationship issues, he has feeling issues, he has ALL TYPES of issues, and like he says, he has baggage that could fill up a 747. Throughout the book, we slowly but poorly find out what haunts Colton’s past. All we know is that he was adopted. In the end, we still don’t know what happened to him when he was a child, which makes me YEARN for the second book. I so deeply need to know what haunts that beautiful man!!!!! Colton is the definition of a bad boy, the devil, the you want it but you shouldn’t take it kinda guy. He is all over the place and can’t make up his mind about Rylee. I really think that book 2 should be in his POV because I feel like Driven really concentrated on him more than Rylee.
Overall, right now, I can’t really say much because I’m still out of words at how the story ended and how this book completely flipped me around like a Zipper ride. If you haven’t read Driven yet, I really suggest that you do!!!

Talkbooks talks about Driven…
From page one I was captured and impressed with this New Author. Her descriptive wording was amazing. I was affected by Driven immediately in more ways than one. The characters in this book are true to life and they keep you wanting to turn the next page. By far one of the best books I have read in this genre. The author has serious talent. Driven shares reality based issues with some hot and steamy sex that is depicted in a very tasteful way but will leave you yearning for more.
A great story line. I could go on forever about Driven, but I will say this, drop the book you are reading and read this, you will not be sorry! The only negative I have to say was the ending, I was angry when the page didn’t turn anymore. I will for sure put this author as a favorite and anxiously await her next.
Note to Author~
Nicely done and Congratulations, this will be a best seller!
