Rylee and Colton meet under dubious circumstances. *thud* This is a trilogy folks, and this first installment ends with that in mind. A more modernized, less angst driven story.

If EL James’s 50 Shades series and Sylvia Day’s Crossfire series had a baby, this would be the result. It’s a story that doesn’t offer us anything new in the bad boy millionaire with hidden secrets meets good girl with hidden secrets trope, yet, there was a certain je ne sais quoi to the story that kept me reading till the very end. Bromberg’s Driven is an emotionally driven romantic contemporary that focuses heavily on the protagonists and their relationship. But Colton has a dark side and as Rylee begins to get under his skin and closer to his secrets, Colton finds himself willing to do anything to stop her from discovering the truth…even if means destroying them both. As she gets to know the real Colton, her feelings for him grow and she soon finds herself falling for him. Rylee enjoys her time with Colton but his edict that he doesn’t do relationships doesn’t make sense to her and she refuses to be another notch in his belt. Colton wants more than just a single date with Rylee so he maneuvers her into spending more time with him by promising to fund her new charity project if she escorts him to every single event involving the project. Rylee isn’t like the women who normally throw themselves at Colton and her rejection of him intrigues him. When Colton uses nefarious means to win the bet, Rylee can’t see her way out of it. By the end of the night, she will accept a date with him. When Rylee turns down his rather crude offers, he makes a bet with her. Working for a non for profit that specializes in helping abused and traumatized orphans, Rylee feels her life is complete.Ĭolton, a playboy race car driver, sees Rylee at a charity auction and decides he wants her in his bed. Rylee Thomas lives an orderly controlled life and likes it that way. Brombergįavorite Quote: “ So…you just fuck’em and chuck’em?”
