A good story-line as it intertwines with previous novels with other families. Brittney, is up to her neck with bad luck & is on the run, hiding from a dangerous man from her past and a loser ex-boyfriend who makes her life even more miserable & difficult. Zack, is her knight-in-shining-armor & continues to do everything in his power to help her stand on her own two feet once again. I found it too long of a read (400 pgs) & even though it’s an interesting story, it wasn’t keeping me captivated & I kept losing interest.

A great contemporary romance that kept me entertained and engaged from beginning to end with complex characters, a bit of suspense, and steamy romance. I really liked the attraction and undeniable chemistry between Zack Benson and his best friend’s twin sister, Brittney Spear. Ms. Swann has given us another winner and I look forward to reading more from this gifted author. I received an advance reader copy from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
Love is in the air in Driven. There’s suspense, love, laughter, romance, some twists and turns and strong characters with great chemistry. Yes there are a lot of chapters but it’s still a quick read. A great addition to the series and a well written love story.

Oh my! What a delicious addition to the Covington Billionaires series.
Zack Benson is driven by the family motto, family comes first. During the day Zack is working his way up in the Benson Corporation on his dad’s timeline as all family members are expected to do. With little visible, lasting impact to his successes within the company he is keeping himself grounded by restoring a grand old home in a seedier section of Los Angeles and chasing off teens and vandals from the vacant home next door.
Brittany works two jobs and struggles to make ends meet. The bill is due for her sisters tuition, she’s dealing with a crazy ex-boyfriend and living with the painful reminder of a day in court that sent a drug dealer to prison. Preparing to head to work, things seem eerily out of place in her apartment. In what can only be described as the day from hell, she heads out her door to discover the wall and her front door tagged in blood red paint, her crazed ex boyfriend shows up at work causing her to lose her job and returns home to a knock on her door to be served with a three day eviction order. Desperate to get away from her crazy ex, and with limited resources, she quickly packs her car and moves back to L.A. in a house left to her by her grandmother.
As fate would have it, Zach sees a dim light in the house next door and heads over once again to kick out whoever is in there. With a canister of pepper spray turned on each other, Zach and Brittany recognize each other’s voices. The very ones they each longed for growing up.
Drama, suspense, laughs, an unexpected twist and lots of love. Zach is by far my favorite Benson.
I was given an ARC for an honest review but also purchased my own copy.

Romance rather tender, but full of action.
It’s a good romance that combines seduction and action, the heroin Brittney cumulating problems. On the contrary, Zack has strong shoulders facing her.
Brittney is harassed by her ex Benji to the point that she loses her job and apartment. To escape, she returns to L.A in the house of her grandmother, who is close to Zack’s house, a freind of her brother. He belongs to a wealthy family and is trained to take over from his father, which he does not particularly want. Since the house is not habitable, Zack decides to host Brittney and they rediscover the attraction they had hidden. But the trouble accumulates for Brittney who does not know how to face them between her ex, and the reason she had to flee L.A and change her name.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
There’s good stuff in here, and if the bad doesn’t annoy you, then you’ll probably enjoy it. I, unfortunately, found it far too distracting.
The good: there’s more than one villain, and a few different sub-plots weaving through the main story. The billionaire actually knows how to do things outside the boardroom, like renovating his old Victorian himself. Other characters from other books are involved, and it sets the scene nicely for a large world of different books.
The bad: Brittney is oddly evasive. Although we soon learn she has a stalker, it doesn’t explain all the little lies (like that she’s never been to a particular restaurant before when she has), even though they’re made out to be some secret important to the plot. There are allusions to some terrible thing she did in the past sprinkled throughout, which gets old (we get a little more info 75% of the way through the book). The bit about Zack not liking fruit is so overplayed — at every.single.meal — and what billionaire can reach his 30s not knowing what a kiwi is? For that matter, how can she be a bartender and not know what Macallan is? They’re constantly bossing each other around, and he’s incredibly overbearing, constantly overruling her choices (some in the name of safety, but mostly just because, like her drinks). They just don’t feel right together.

Clint has longed for Anya from the beginning
This is my second book by Jamie in the Club Inferno series and I love authors continuing a series with characters from the first book yet each book is a standalone. Anya is a model currently working at Couture and is auditioning for a part in an off broadway play after she loses weight per her agent. Clint works at Couture and some side jobs to save up to own his own tequila tasting bar. Clint and Anya have the hots for the other, but can Anya open up to Clint’s dom needs? You have to read to find out and will love the steam coming off these two!
Ms. Swann has another hit on her hands. This book has so many twist and turns, you could get lost. Just when you think you know what is going on, guess what another surprise twist. Since I hate spoilers I refuse to do one. This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone book. Enjoy I know I did.

This is the eighth book in the Covington series and once again it was a pleasure to read each book is a stand alone but do yourself a favour read them all as there are many cross over characters
This is Brittany and Zach’s story. They had an attraction to one another has teens but Zach knew she was off limits after all he had to obey the bro code so eventually Brittany moved away but now she has returned and she is his next door neighbour. The attraction is still there between them and when Brittany finds out the reason he never made a move on her she is determined to break down his walls. Will they get a HEA this time you will have to read to see
This story has such a action-filled romance that has a combination of sorrow in it that it just leaps out at you where you can not put it down! I was hanging on the edge of my seat wanting to skip forward to see what had happened to make her run away and just take the stress of everything on herself! But I did not want to ruin the shock of understanding by skipping. The way the she was being preyed upon by her ex is no laughing matter as being stalked is such a scary event to go through that I take such pride in people who are able to stand up and brave it everyday to keep going as the stress alone of never feeling like you are safe can drive even the most level headed person to madness with paranoia. I recommend this book to read for a action punch of romance !

Five Sizzling Suspense Stars.
The Driven Billionaire was a addictive read. One you didn’t want to put down. I enjoyed every element of this story.
Best Friends sister moves back into town right beside Zack. He instantly protective of Brittany. What he wasn’t expecting as to feel all the feelings that he once had for her to return full force.
Brittany never thought she’d back back in town living in her Grandmas old house, right beside Zack, her brothers best friend. But she finds herself in danger and then living with Zach.
We follow as these two try and stay alive with all the danger lurking all the while finding their happy ever after.

I love this family and each book that comes out never fails to grab and attention and love them more as they are my epitome of what a family should be like.
Brittney and Zack story is a thrilling romance that will have you in suspense all though out and on anticipation of the next reveal.
The hint of the kidnapped cousin has me all excitedly waiting for the next installation and the preview of the next book starts with high expectations eagerly looking forward to it.
Spoiler alert my favourite statement “Its up to you to make this right. If you don’t get her to marry you, we’ll be right back where we started: you sleeping with my sister and not marrying her. That’s fucking unacceptable”
Doug is the best big brother is I might say so

Zack and Brittney story has so many twists, talk about rotten luck for Brittney. As luck would have it Brittney’s luck is about to change by moving back home, not without some major obstacles to overcome. The ending is surprising and glad that Zack and Brittney get their HEA.

I’ve enjoyed all the books I’ve read from Erin and this one is also a great read. This book has suspense, love, frustration and a great message on looking ahead and not back. I wanted to throttle some characters, hug others and become friends with some. Even though there are 44 Chapters, it is a quick read. I read it in two days, had a roadblock called work or I think I could’ve read it in one day. Hope you like it as well as I did!
