Out of Bounds

Driven by Fire #2

by Eden Rayna

When I wanted her, I couldn’t have her. Now I want to get rid of her and I can’t do that either.

Luca: Bobby was the love of my life and I thought she felt the same way. When she left me nearly ten years ago and burned all traces of herself, I learned how she really felt. I finally gave up looking, moved, made some new friends. Now she’s moved to my town and I want to spend time with her like I want to hang out on a ship with plague-infested rats. But I’ll be damned if I let her leave again without telling me why she left me in the first place.

I wish I could look at him and see that things are different. That he isn’t the same person anymore. I wish I could introduce myself to him and start from the beginning; pretend like we don’t have a shared history.

Bobby: Of all the place in the world, my first steady job in over a year has to be in the same town as Luca. I spent the last eight years lonely and living in the most remote places, spinning tales about my past to put distance between us only to land right in his lap again. He’s going to want the truth from me and I can’t give it to him. Honesty will only hurt him more than I already have.

AMAZING! A fantastic, well written read. An intense storyline that holds your attention as you get caught up in the fierce twists and hot chemistry. Plenty of excitement and emotionally heartfelt. A thrilling must read.

I have read the previous two books and liked them, maybe a bit slow but I enjoyed the development of the story between the main characters, and they were really hot! But this one is just frustrating! The most frustrating heroine I have ever read about. A silly, self-centered, selfish child!, there is no other way to call her! At the beginning I thought there was some really important reason for her leaving him, but then as it unfolded what it was, I was like what, that's it?!!??!?!? and she would still not talk to him about it, even after the pub altercation, and she would still lay it at his door. Now I am where they reconciled and what, one paragraph on what she was feeling, not even addressing the reasons and worries she had, no proper conversation to clear the air, again him making a concession. I had to put the book down, I can't even enjoy the sex scene (the only one in this book), I don't think I will even finish it. I have enough frustration in my own life, I read these books to escape the drama and dream a bit about things that really won't happen in my life; I don't need a book like this to make me feel even more frustrated. I am sorry for how much time I wasted on this one.

Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength, happiness with a happily ever after. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.

Another great book from Eden Rayna. A wonderful second chance romance, which captivated me right from the start.
Bobby and Luca are a seriously hot pair. Their history is overshadowed by a tragic event, which caused a rift in their relationship.
Bobby left Luca out of the blue and without explanation. Eight years later, they meet again, and there is a lot of unfinished business.
There is angry, angsty energy running through this book. Mixed with explosive sexual chemistry and emotional twists and u-turns, this story is guaranteed to keep you hooked from start to finish.
Loved it!

My...oh my! This book was fantastic! I could hardly put the book down! I was hooked from page one! Luca and Bobby were great characters. After not seeing each other for nearly ten years, Luca and Bobby come face to face. Bobby's job brought her to town and she thought it would be a great new start. A past Bobby has been trying to leave behind since the accident on that fateful day. A day that changed both of their lives forever. Luca just wants to know, why? Why Bobby left him? It was nothing he could do to stop the course of that day. When Bobby comes to town it's like fresh wounds being opened for both of them. Each of them have their own reasons for being angry. Will they be able to live in close proximity for the year that Bobby's job has her contracted? Can they get past the hurt and pain to the real issues of what caused their separation? I highly recommend this book!

This is the 2nd book I've read written by Eden Rayne; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

A sexy slow burn and a budding second chance romance with deep roots. I downed this in one sitting like a delicious alpine lager. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series. Out of Bounds is the best yet. Well done, Ms. Rayna!
