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 … 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?

Audio Review from 2018
This couple has gone through their ups and downs. To see it end on a happy note and a nod to a happy future, maybe not perfect as life isn’t that way, but happy makes me elated for them.
These two really get in your heart with their trials and tribulations. I damn near cried happy and sad tears with these two!!
Very much enjoyed their story thus far!
An unforgettable conclusion to an epic love story that is powerfully raw, incredibly emotional, breathtakingly romantic and beautifully inspiring. This romance had all the feels with captivating storyline that was a rollercoaster of emotions. I felt everything the characters experienced. I laughed, cried, felt the joy and every ounce of pain. From the heart-stopping and soul-shattering to the swoon-worthy and breathtaking moments, the emotions radiated from the pages. A story delivered with so much heart and soul that that I fell deeper in love with the characters and their story with each turn of the page. A must read!!!
Aaahhhh!! What a ride! And what an ending!! Thank you for giving us a 10 year epilogue – I had fallen so in love with these characters, I was so relieved to read there was an epilogue without giving anything else way!
The love that grows between Rylee and Colton makes you smile, makes you laugh and boy does it make you cry. I cried actual tears while reading this book – what an emotional rollercoaster!
5 stars – Read within 24 hours.
This is the best of the three books. Because of the abuse that he suffered as a child, Colton still won’t allow himself to admit he deserves to be loved and that he loves Rylee. He tries to push her away, but she keeps coming back, because she is his lifeline. Her work with abused boys has prepared her to deal with all the trauma that the man she loves has experience, but she also has survived devastating trauma. Wonderful, deep characters and lots of playful banter.
Holy hell!! Soooo many thoughts running through my head. My emotions are beyond exhausted. I thought Driven & Fueled sent my emotions on a wild rollercoaster ride…NOT. EVEN. CLOSE. You will laugh, cry, get angry, want to punch something (maybe even someone ) on a steady repeat with this book, sometimes all within a few minutes. Rylee & Colton’s love story is intense and full of highs, lows, laughter, tears, fear, pain, healing, heartbreak, sizzling chemistry, love, hot sex, angst, passionate, and demons from their past that they have to overcome. It is NOT an easy road for either of them as various speed bumps are thrown into their path numerous times. However, both continually fight for each other not willing to walk away or give up on the other. I absolutely RACED this book A to mother-f****** Z!!
Tatiana Sokolov & Sean Crisden are fabulous narrators and voice artists. They do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions, attitude and personality.
I didn’t review my books years ago so now I am. I’ll keep it short and sweet.
Love Rylee and Colton. One of my all time favorite couples!
Love the plot and all the drama, sweetness, and sexiness. The ups
and downs on this book is through the roof. Just when you think it’s not going to work. Oh the feels!!!! My heart breaks again. But that ending! it’s simply the best.
100% recommend this entire series! From A to Z and between the sheets!
This book will drive you through the gauntlet of emotions. Ride it out, it’s so very worth it in the end!
Please note: This review was written in 2014, but it in no way reduces the way I still feel about this series!
I have no words!! I wish I could write the beautiful review this book (and series) deserves. I will say this; I don’t give many 5 star ratings. I save them for those very few, top-notch books that go on my favorites forever list. And this book did just that. Some authors seem to lose their momentum in the last book of a series, but Ms. Bromberg did not disappoint. She stayed true to Colton and Rylee’s dynamic characters, added in all the right angst, drama, bitchy exes, hot sex, and finally culminating in the HEA this couple deserved!!! Well done!!! I race you Colton and Rylee and will miss you!!
Oh, hey, it looks like I had a few words after all!! 🙂
I know there are a couple more books but I really feel like this gave me the closure I want for now. Rylee and Colton gave been through so much and I loved how Colton was able to overcome his past and open up to Rylee.
Characters that live and breath and grow. The journey is what’s important.
Rylee and Colton are back in the 3rd installment of the Driven series with some more major obstacles to test their love. This book definitely gets your heart working for the couple with some crazy heartbreak but you finally get to see their HEA.
This is the third book of the Driven series. Crashed begins where Fueled ended and it’s really emotional. I loved to see how the characters developed through all three books. I feel in love with Rylee & Colton even more than in the first two books.
The end of this book was just the best end EVER! And the epilogue mad me totally emotional.
This series is the best I have reread this books many times also watched the first book made into a movie on Passionflix 10 times OMG cannot wait for book 2 on passionflix.
Loved Ry & Colton characters in this series – witty, fun, good story line.
This is one of the first series I ever read & it is partially responsible for getting me hooked on reading! It is fantastic!!
Crashed is the conclusion in the Driven series.
Colton and Rylee have come a long way but when something happens they’ll have to fight even more for the love they’ve found with each other. Love isn’t always easy and when both their pasts come crashing into their live, they’ll have decisions to make that will turn their lives even more upside down. Will they finally get the happy ending they both deserve?…
Love it from beginning to end
