Lauren's Review of Fueled (The Driven Trilogy #2) by K. Bromberg

Book # 2 of the Driven Trilogy

Summary: 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. 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?

What I loved: I loved all the emotions I felt with this book. Tons of drama which I absolutely love in a book!! It is so easy to fall in love with a book when the author creates characters that you can relate to. I am invested in the lives of Rylee and Colton. We learn so much more about their pasts in the second book. For Rylee, I admire her strength and bravery. I can't say that I would have went back to Colton so many times but I don't see it as a weakness. She knows when to "bend" and when to confront him.  I also enjoyed getting the POV of Colton.  He has such a dark and tramatic childhood that it helps to get it from his perspective.

Cons: Holy Cliffhanger! There is nothing worse than a major cliffhanger and then no release date for the next book.  Even though this book has a white knuckle ending, I am curious where the third book is going to take us. It is rare when a third book holds me the way the first and second does.  Third books tend to drag.  I am interested to see what ride K. Bromberg will take us on for book #3.

Hot Scenes: The hood on the car (sex)...wouldn't mind trying that out in real life. Oh and that moment when Colton says, "I race you, Ryles." Not a sex scene but my heart turned to mush at this moment.

Next Book: Frigid by J. Lynn
