"You make me need Rylee," he whispers hoarsely as he takes one more step. "And I don't ever need anything from anybody."

Driven opens up with Rylee’s and Colton’s first encounter backstage at a fundraiser that she is organizing and he is attending. Before the night is over Rylee finds herself rescued, kissed, insulted, pursued, tempted, coerced and ultimately obligated to a date thanks to a donation paid for by Colton Donavan. Needless to say they are off to a bumpy start.

Rogue. Rebel. Reckless. Colton is a famous race car driver. He is a bad boy, and he knows it. He had a rough childhood and was adopted when he was eight. He is very mysterious about his past. He keeps Rylee at an emotional distance because he knows he is not able to love and doesn’t want to hurt her.

Rylee is a social worker in charge of The House, a home for 7 young boys who would be lost in the foster care system, if Rylee was not there to care for them. These moments with these boys are so endearing, you may have a few tears. Rylee struggles with moving on, with guilt. She has already loved and lost, and she fears falling for a man who can just fuck ‘em and chuck ‘em. She also keeps Colton at a distance because she is afraid of getting too close.

They are polar opposites in so many ways and what Rylee needs is something Colton can't give.

Overall, I enjoyed Rylee, even if she confused me at times. I liked Colton despite being mercurial, he was hot and I loved that he had moments that showed his soft side. The sexual in this book was high, as was the steam.

The story started a bit slow for me, and had a few slow moments throughout, but it did get better. This book is intense, emotional, and with some angst and lots of drama. This was the first instalment of the Driven Series, and does end in a cliffhanger. I'm so happy I don't have to wait for the next book to come out.
