Crashed (The Driven Trilogy #3) by K. Bromberg Release Day Blitz




~ Synopsis ~

When life crashes down around us, how hard are we willing to fight for the one thing we can’t live without, each other?

Life is full of moments. 
Big moments. 
Little moments. 
And none of them are inconsequential. 
Every single moment prepares you for that one instance that defines your life. You must overcome all your fears, confront the demons that chase you, and cleanse the poison that clings to your soul or you risk the chance of losing everything.

Mine started the minute Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet. She made me feel. Made me whole when all I thought I could ever be was incomplete. Became the lifeline I never knew I needed. Hell yes, she’s worth the fight…but how do you fight for someone you know you don’t deserve?

Love is full of ups and downs. 
Heart stopping highs.
Soul shattering lows.
And none of them are insignificant. 
Love is a racecourse of unexpected twists and turns that must be negotiated. You have to break down walls, learn to trust, and heal from your past in order to win. But sometimes it’s the expected that’s the hardest to hold on to.

Colton has healed and completed me, stolen my heart, and made me realize our love’s not predictable nor perfect—it’s bent. And bent’s okay. But when outside factors put our relationship to the test, what lengths will I have to go to prove to him that he’s worth the fight?


Whoever said love is patient and love is kind, never met the two of us.  We know our love is worth it—have acknowledged that we were meant to be—but when our pasts crash into our future, will the repercussions make us stronger or break us apart?

~ Excerpt ~

“You can go now too.”
His gruff voice startles me. His unexpected words throw me. My temper simmers. I look over at him and can’t do anything other than shake my head in sputtering disbelief because his eyes are still closed. Everything over the past couple of days hits me like a kaleidoscope of memories. The distance and avoidance. This is about more than being irritated from being confined during his recovery. “Is there something you need to get off your chest?”
A lone seagull squawks overhead as I wait for the answer, trying to prepare for whatever he’s going to say to me. He’s gone from crying without explanation to telling me to leave—not a good sign at all. 
“I don’t need your goddamn pity. Don’t you have a house full of little boys that need you to help fulfill that inherent trait of yours to hover and smother?”
He could’ve called me every horrible name in the book and it wouldn’t sting as much as those words he just slapped me with. I’m dumbfounded, mouth opening and closing as I stare at him, face angled to the sun, eyes still closed. “Excuse me?” It’s no match for what he’s just said, but it’s all I’ve got. 

“You heard me.” He lifts his chin up almost in dismissal but still keeps his eyes closed. “You know where the door is, sweetheart.”

Driven (The Driven Trilogy #1)


Rylee Thomas is used to being in control. But she’s about to meet the one man that just might make her enjoy losing it…

I am the exception to the rule. 

In a world full of willing women, I’m a challenge to the roguish and achingly handsome Colton Donavan. A man used to getting exactly what he wants in all aspects of life. He’s the reckless bad boy constantly skating that razor thin edge toward out of control, on and off of the track. 

Colton crashes into my life like a tornado: sapping my control, testing my vulnerabilities beyond their limits, and unintentionally penetrating the protective wall around my healing heart. Tearing apart the world I rebuilt so carefully with structure, predictability, and discipline.

I can’t give him what he wants and he can’t give me what I need. But after a glimpse beneath his refined exterior into the dark secrets of his damaged soul, can I bring myself to walk away?

Our sexual chemistry is undeniable. Our individual need for complete control is irrefutable. But when our worlds collide, is the chemistry enough to bring us together or will our untold secrets and battle of wills force us apart?

Fueled (The Driven Trilogy #1)



What happens when the one person you never expected suddenly happens to be the one you’ll fight the hardest to keep?

Colton stole my heart. He wasn't supposed to, and I sure as hell didn't want him to, but he crashed into my life, ignited feelings within me that I thought had died forever, and fueled a passion that I never knew could exist.

Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet and into my life. Now I don't think I'll ever be the same. She's seen glimpses of the darkness within me, and yet she's still here. Still fighting for me. She is without a doubt the saint, and I am most definitely the sinner.

How is it the one thing neither of us wanted—neither of us anticipated that fateful night—has us fighting so hard to keep?

He steals my breath, stops my heart, and brings me back to life again all in a split second of time. But how can I love a man who won't let me in? Who continually pushes me away to prevent me from seeing the damaged secrets in his past? My heart has fallen, but patience and forgiveness can only go so far.

How can I desire a woman who unnerves me, defies me, and forces me to see that in the deep, black abyss of my soul there's someone worthy of her love? A place and person I swore I'd never be again. Her selfless heart and sexy body deserve so much more than I'll ever be capable of giving her. I know I can't be what she needs, so why can't I just let her go?

We are driven by need and fueled with desire, but is that enough for us to crash into love?

Fueled (The Driven Trilogy #2) by K. Bromberg

Fueled
Fueled starts just where Driven ends. (You remember, the horrible cliffhanger that I luckily didn't need to endure for more than a few minutes until my kindle loaded.)

Colton is dealing with the demons from his past. He tries to open up to Rylee. His early life is coming back to haunt him.

 “Spiderman. Batman. Superman. Ironman.”

At times Colton tries to let Rylee go but then he knows she is everything he wants and needs.

“I’ve never let someone this far in because that means secrets are shared and pasts are discovered. And because it means you need. I’ve only ever needed myself – needing others only results in pain. In abandonment. In unspeakable horror. And yet, I need Rylee right now.” 

Rylee was there for him. She was supportive. Although, I don't blame her for loosing it at times. I was tired of the whiplash too.

It is hard for Colton to admit he is falling in love with Rylee. That feeling is so alien to him. He doesn't know what to do with them. Like I said he pushes her away and I wanted to hurt him during those times.

 “You know, a couple of months ago, I might have answered you differently. But since you fell out of the damn storage closet, nothing has been the same.” He pauses momentarily as he struggles to find his next words, his fingertip trailing down the bare line of my spine. “No one’s mattered before. Ever. But you? Fuck, somehow you changed that. You matter.”

Rylee had some insecurities that Colton didn't help dissolving. I want to tell him to stop with the blond parade. He needs to tell them to stop touching him.  This doesn't fly with Rylee ( or with me for that matter). I especially hated Tawny. She is evil.

I liked so many things about this book. I love the kids, love the best friends (Kim- I think Becks needs his own book), love their banter. And the best part happened just before the cliffhanger.

Now, this cliffhanger I have to suffered. Sigh!

At least I know what ACE stands for:

"Arrogant. Conceited. Egomaniac!"

Driven (The Driven Trilogy #1) by K. Bromberg

Driven
Rylee Thomas is just trying to survive the rest of the night at the Charity Auction she has worked hard to develop. She works for Corporate Cares, a company which takes care of children from broken homes. Her night gets complicated when she gets trapped in a storage closet and falls over the man who comes to her rescue.  They share a very steamy moment before she comes back to her senses. Later on, she meets the stranger again but she's still mad at the handsome "Ace". You see, Colton is a player. He is arrogant, confident and gorgeous. Rylee doesn't want to complicate her life and isn't looking for a fling.

"Last time I checked, sweetheart, my name wasn't Ace."

Colton Donovan gets what he wants and he wants Rylee. Colton is a race car driver and he lives his life to the fullest. He doesn't apologize to anyone. So why can't he get Ryle out of his mind?
Colton will go to great extents to keep Rylee in his life. The problem is that he has a past full of blondes with broken hearts and they can't be quite ugly to Rylee.

I found myself liking Rylee, she was dedicated to the kids under her care. She is smart and funny. The banter was good too. I like that she told Colton what she felt (most of the time).
Colton was great too. He was sweet, tender and you could tell he was trying to open up to Rylee. His past is not a happy one and it will take some time before he trusts anyone.

This book does end in a cliffhanger but Fueled is out.  So no need to throw your kindle to the wall.

"Well, thanks for the update. I'll let you in on a little something as well, Ace. I don't like being made to feel like I'm sloppy seconds to your bevy of babes. You're developing a pattern of wanting me right after I know you've been with another. That's a habit you're going to need to break or nothing else is going to happen here."
