Since I am a fan of reading books in the POV of the men, I loved this book.
I am glad this book got released because when I read the other books sometimes I was like … what’s going on in his mind? And we finally got the answer!
Just loved reading Coltons POV in this short novella, gotta love this complicated man!!
Love it, love the characters and I thoroughly enjoying the whole story
Absolutely loved this book. I highly recommend that you read or listen to the first 3 books in the Driven series before reading this book. Raced gives us Colton’s point of view from key scenes (and a few new scenes) in the Driven trilogy. His growls & sarcastic thoughts had me chuckling while listening to this book.
Sean Crisden does a fabulous job narrating and bringing the characters to life. Tatiana Sokolov does a great job giving us the authors thoughts regarding each scene regarding Colton’s POV.
great end to this series loved it
You finally get some perspective from Colton, and not that you needed it before, but you definitely need it now! Great quick read
Yay for a Colton POV. I think this was very much a missing part of the first book and now I feel like it is complete. Thank you so much for this.
Loved this whole series! I am now listening to the series on Audible to and from work!
beautiful serie
I really couldn’t put it down and stop reading. Loved the Driven series so much and I was so happy knowing this was coming out! I just love Colton and Rylee so much. Loved reading his POV! I just want more. Can’t wait for Slow Burn to come out! this is a must series to read.
So this is a little compilation of chapters written from Colton’s POV from across Driven, Fueled and Crashed. I like getting the Hero’s POV on the story as I often find myself wondering how they have interpreted what is happening between characters at certain points in a story.
I liked the way Kristy formatted this novella, before each chapter from Colton’s point of view she writes a little introduction as a reminder and to explain why she picked this moment to write about. Some chapters are parts of the stories that we read from Rylee’s POV as she was present, others are completely new pieces of the story when Rylee has not been present (which were little bonus snippets for any fan of the series).
I enjoyed reading these moments from Colton’s perspective and revisiting elements of the story. However I would have liked a couple of other moments in there from Crashed. I would have liked to have see more of his inner thought process about the loss of the baby and about his scavenger hunt but I am just greedy!
Who doesn’t want more Colton??!! That’s why even though I had some reservations, I read it anyway. Being a companion to the series and focusing on several pivotal scenes from each book, I was afraid it wasn’t going to flow & would be choppy. I immediately liked how she introduced every scene so they were separated. I liked getting Colton’s POV & enjoyed that he was aware that what he was feeling for Rylee all along & how he rationalized his actions. I did have to put it down & go back because some of it got repetitive. My advice is to go into it knowing it’s like reading a bunch of extra scenes often promoted on a blog tour. If you’ve read the series, then you’d very much enjoy getting into Colton’s mind.
I listened to an audio book version.
Colton Donovan fans, this is the book for you. This is a treat from the author. We don’t get Colton’s point of view until the second book in the series, Fueled. But this book gives us that. It is his view points for all three books: Driven, Fueled & Crashed. I understood him more. And it was so fun to revisit his ego pumped up attitude from the first book. I loved finding out how he felt about Ryle at the start of their push and pull relationship. I found myself laughing out loud so many times at the things he was saying and thinking.
I also really enjoyed the author’s notes. She lets us know what she was thinking as the story unfolds and why she did certain things. That really helped me connect more to the story and I didn’t think that was possible. The Driven series isn’t just some great series. It becomes a part of you. I am consumed by Colton and Rylee’s story. I feel like I know them personally.
I HIGHLY suggest this book to fans of the series. We thought we had the happily ever after at the end of Crashed but this book proves there was so much we didn’t know and had yet to experience. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Review:
I liked this novella. It was very cute and fun. I loved seeing things from Coltons point of view. It was awesome.
There where some scenes I couldn’t recall correctly so it was nice of Kristy to write before the scene, what scene this was in the original books.
I also loved the extra scenes we got to see. I loved seeing what Colton was thinking and feeling, and I loved seeing him interact with Becket.

5 Amazing Stars
How can you not love to get inside Colton’s head! I love male POV books and this one was awesome to see how he felt during pivotal scenes from the last 3 books. I love that she did this one for her fans. Thank you!!
I loved this companion novella to the Driven Trilogy. When I fall in love with a story that has a character with so much of their past haunting them it is really nice to get their point of view. It often answers questions for me. Thanks to the author for helping us get in Colton’s head a little more. Worth the read after finishing the series.
This was a wonderful way to see inside the other main character in this series. I definitely recommend this book, this author and this series. The narrators were great.
Colton Donovan is everything! I have read this series more time than I can count. Love love love Colton and Rylee.
This Colton POV was well worth the wait, it answered a lot of questions for the reader from the first 3 books in the driven series and once again K.Bromberg gives us a winner, this series could go on for ever and you would never get bored with it, there is something special about it that makes it touch not only your mind but also your soul and stimulate every emotional nerve in your body, well done Kristy. Would love to hear this on audiobook.
