Driven (Driven, #1)

*4.5 Racing Stars*
Before I started reading Driven I had heard people comparing it to Fifty Shades of Grey. I can see some similarities but to me it felt more like Bared to You. There were some cheesy lines like: "Me playing Ana to his Christian." Either way this book holds its own in entertaining the readers.
Colton is the bad boy with a sordid past. He's a famous racecar driver who has commitment issues. Reylee is the 'do-gooder' with a tragic past. These two are drawn to each other even though they feel like they are all wrong for one another.
This is the third book this week that I've read that has a major cliffhanger and the series isn't complete. I think I'm glutton for punishment.

Thank you, Destini!!! :)
YAY!! You liked it!!!! :)
Oh yea!! It was very entertaining! You said that book two is even better?
So NOT a fan of references to 50 shades in *other* books. Loved 50, but I hate references to it on shows and books. Too cheesy. Lovely review though!
I'm with you,Sanaa! :) Luckily it was very subtle in this book.Thanks! ♥
Yes book two was fabulous!!
Didi...no doubt, huh?! Crazy. Guess I need to research better.Patty, yay!!!
Kim...so complex that love/hate relationship.
Great review Amy! LOL! I read book 1 thinking it have a mild cliffy... = O I am holding off until series is complete....
Thanks, SueBee! :) You were smart. Lately I've noticed I've become immune to cliffhangers.
Thank you, Sammy! :)
Great review Amy! So glad to know this has a cliffhanger, will be sure to get book 2 before starting this.

LOL too funny I'm staying away from series remember, I can't even be tempted (well maybe a little)! ❤
I know. You'll have a lot of books to catch up when you finally do decide to read all these series. LOL

LOL...I have no clue what that expression means... sounds dirty. (plugged toilet?) ;)It's 11:30 pm.

It means staying up late hehe oh the time difference is a lot different to Anna and Christy ... It's 7:50 here soooo we are 8 hours different ❤❤
yea, I live in the pacific northwest. Oregon. So, they are 3 hours ahead of me. 8 hours is a big difference. We need one time- goodreads time zone. lol

I know and most of my friends are stateside ... I do love the states though it has a part of my heart ... I will come back over one day my dad is a travelling preacher so Ive done some visiting over there over the years! *sigh* I miss all things USA!!
That's awesome. I wonder if I've heard your father? Does he preach in the North West? I bet he has a cool accent. I seem to pay attention better when I hear a cool accent.

He's not famous or anything LOL but he has travelled around Washington mainly Seattle, he has a connection with a few churches there ... ❤ I lived In Denver Colorado for a year when I finished university so I get homesick for my slice of stateside but i think if I was to choose between where Ive already been I loved Seattle ... So many places to visit stateside still ❤

H..."
I'm only 5 hours from Seattle. If you do come you'll have to let me know so I can see if I can work it in my schedule.
Denver is a nice place but I don't enjoy there HUGE thunder and lightening storms when I visit my aunt.

Lol. Jaa Jaa, did you just "dumb ass gal"? ;). Fun reading it with you too even though I can't keep our time difference straight.
Oh true!!! Mr. Funny Guy
Nice review, Amy x
Thank you, Jxxx! :) Hope you enjoy it when you read it.
