Fueled: The Driven Series, Book 2

So I went right into book two after I finished book one because book one finished on a massive cliffhanger (Not Nice...K. Bromberg). So in book 1 Rylee was the one who changed the most but in book two this is where Colton comes out to play with the BIG LEAGUES. I felt like I could get to know this Colton guy in this book a lot better. Also the smut in these books are on FIRE! I actually was starting to egg the characters on in my mind to fight more. Why....because their passion really comes out to play when they are fighting. I felt like the writing in this book was a lot better in not flopping a lot. I had an easier time following Rylee's thoughts and what was happening in the book. Also...I really love some of the side characters in this book. Let's just say Rylee and Colton have some amazing supportive friends. There were times in the book where you will want to kill Colton because he makes a lot of mistakes and doesn't want to follow rules. I also need to warn you that if you cry or even don't cry about books you might be in a rude awakening because I am not a crier and I was crying in this book. On to Book 3.

Natalie & Meagan's Rambling Review -Since trying to pick just ONE of us to read the ARC of Fueled would most likely have ended our friendship in a smack down of epic proportions, Natalie and I decided to write our review together. Hope you enjoy reading our crazy rambling as much as we enjoyed writing it.Meagan: I could not freakin' wait to get my hands on this book. The way things were left in Driven? My jaw was on the floor.Natalie: At the end of Driven not only was my jaw on the floor but my kindle was flying across the room AND my husband thought I was possessed by trucker from the amount of expletives coming out of my mouth.Meagan: So the beginning, beautiful. I LOVE that Fueled started off right where Driven ended. AND huge bonus, we get to see the scene from Colton's POV.Natalie: I loved the Colton POV of scenes. His inner dialogue of "the scene" in the beginning was so heartbreaking. His pain and the fear caused by his childhood were so evident. K. Bromberg did an amazing job at capturing his raw emotions. It's hard to even describe how one minute Colton can be totally alpha male full of sexy confidence and the next he is so utterly desperate and lost like a child. this combination of personality traits works so well for him and is what really draws you in.Meagan: Yes, I totally understand that. Everything that he went through before he was adopted definitely shaped him. I was so glad K. Bromberg decided to add Colton's POV to this novel. I think it added so much not only to the story's progression, but also to understanding Colton's character.Meagan: Okay, now Rylee. In the first book I was all Team Rylee. I mean I LOVED Colton but I felt so close to Rylee. In Fueled I was 110% Team Colton. Not gonna lie, there were a couple times I wanted someone to give Rylee a good round house kick to the noggin'.Natalie: Really? I am the total opposite. I loved how Rylee really found herself in Fueled. She stuck to her guns and refused to be the victim no matter how much it was tearing her up inside. She may not have had all of the facts, but come on, if you were in the same situation wouldn't you think the worst just like she did? Granted, she maybe shouldn't have taken so long to listen but the simple fact that she wasn't a whimpy push-over was very appealing to me.Meagan: I guess, but I think I was so frustrated with her because she knew what dealing with children from broken backgrounds was like. Why could she deal with them and not Colton? Plus, looking at things through his POV just made me want to scream at her, "He's trying!!" My heart just ached for Colton.Natalie: My heart ached for Colton just as much, but even though Colton was "trying" and Rylee's work experience should have given her more of an understanding, love does crazy things to you. The rational part of your brain doesn't always work correctly in such an intense situation. As much as Colton needed her, there comes a time when youjust need to save yourself.Meagan: Well I guess we'll just agree to disagree *cough Team Colton*Natalie: Seriously? *raises eyebrows* I totally heard that.Meagan: Okay moving on. Haddie and Beckett. I want them to be my best friends.Natalie: I think a book about Haddie and Beckett together would be awesome. Just think of the witty one-liners and crazy ass sex those two could be having. The term "Aussie Kiss" . . . pure genius.Meagan: Yes, Haddie is great, and I have a bit of a crush on Beckett (wouldn't mind him getting his own book, hint, hint, nudge, nudge, Ms. Bromberg) Aussie Kiss was awesome. If Colton needs any help practicing his Australian, he can come find me Oh, and I loved Beckett and Colton's attempt at romance and poetry."Roses are red. Lemons are sour.If you open your legs, I'll be there in an hour."Natalie: Yes! But Rylee didn't hold back either. Flirty and silly/seductive Rylee was great. The scene where they take the kids to the go-kart track was hilarious. I loved how she teased Colton."Well, I seem to be running a little tight in the ass end. Nothing a quick lube job wouldn't fix," I toss over my shoulder as I walk back to my car, wishing I could see the reaction on his face.Natalie: What about your thoughts on the meaning of A.C.E.?Meagan: A.C.E.? So awesome!!! And all the times he guessed wrong? I love how he never gets it right, but he comes up with some great answers.Attractive, charming, and exquisiteAlways creating ecstasyNatalie: Oh how I would love Colton to be Always Creating Ecstasy with me *sigh*Meagan: Okay moving on now, we could discuss this book forever. Down and dirty time. Best sex scene?Natalie: The bathroom scene. Rylee is feeling a little overwhelmed when confronted with all of Colton's conquests. She's definitely not feeling sexy, but he forces her to look in the bathroom mirror at herself to see why he needs her. A very erotic moment if I do say so myself."I want you to watch me while I take you, Rylee. I want you to watch each of us as we crash over the edge. I want you to see why this is enough for me. Why I choose you."Meagan: Yes, that's a great scene. But OMG, sex on "sex"?! Anyone who doesn't choose that is out of their mind!Natalie: Does your husband know about this car fetish?Meagan: Why do you think I liked it so much *wink*Natalie: Remind me to NEVER drive in your car.Meagan: All right, favorite scene besides the yummy sex ones? I have two; the birthday party and the silly Colton coming to Rylee's house.Natalie: I am in love with anything that comes out of Colton's mouth in reference to "voodoo pussy" or his feeling about women or should I say a certain women in particular. He just makes me giggle with lines like this:"F- women. Complicated. Temperamental. Necessary. F- me."Meagan: OMG, Voodoo P-!!!! Best line ever! Seriously K. Bromberg needs to patient that!Meagan: So that ending huh. W.O.W. !!!!!Natalie: Wow is an understatement. It was absolute PERFECTION!Meagan: The ending was unbelievable. I mean, I don't want to build it up too much, but it was just so great. The last four lines . . . I literally held my breath while I was reading them.Natalie: Agree. Okay so I'm looking over my highlights and I just love it all. Colton has so many great moments, funny, witty, charming and oh so sexy. He really has raced right past my other book boyfriends and taken the checkered flag. Too cheesy?Meagan: *rolls eyes* Yes, way too cheesy, but it's Colton so I'll excuse you if your brain is fried.Natalie: So, moment of truth. How many stars would you give to Fueled?Meagan: Uhg, so hard! Well, I wanted to throttle Rylee through a lot of the book. But Colton and the end blew me away. I'd say 4.5starsNatalie: I loved it all, it was a definite 5 star for me.

Sweet Jesus! Colton Donovan is absolutely now one of my top favorite Alpha bad boys. Book 2 is hands down as awesome as Book 1 maybe a bit better imo. The heat builds up with Colton & Rylee in Fueled. Poor Rylee is so torn with her emotions and is warring with her heart and her mind. Yeah Colton can be a d*ck and she tries to walk away from him but the man is a “God in bed”!! I can imagine I would be struggling with the same issues as Rylee. I loved in this book we have Coltons POV in a few of the chapters which brought some “spice” to the storyline. I discovered this series while watching on PassionFlix and just HAD to read this series. All of the sub characters are amazing as well. If you like tortured soul alpha males you need to read these books. Like now.

Desde el libro uno hasta el capítulo final de este libro dos, que delicia de historia... La autora te hace vivir los personajes; desespero por empezar el volumen tres, que angustia esta espera!

Este livro ao mesmo tempo me consumiu e me irritou. O segundo volume da trilogia de Driven revisita todo o trama traduzido em seu primeiro livro. Eu devorei suas páginas para saber o que o futuro trazia para estes personagens que passei a me importar tanto. Aqui nós teremos alguns vislumbres da mente de Colton o que me fez entender bem melhor algumas de suas atitudes. Mas, ao mesmo tempo isto me deixou extremante irritada com Rylee. Alguns dramas ao meu ver simplesmente foram arrastadas por muito tempo, ao ponto de ficar cansativo. A volatilidade do relacionamento deles foi muitas vezes difícil de entender, frustrante de ler, mas completamente explosivo de se experimentar. Embora ficará evidente o amor entre eles, a dificuldade de Colton em lidar com o seu passado continuará afastando este casal... Então se preparem para um turbilhão de angustia e melodrama.Enquanto Rylee finalmente está achando alguma paz após o doloroso trauma da morte de Max, Colton continua tendo dificuldades em lidar com seu passado. O prólogo do livro me deixou absolutamente destruída e me fez entender melhor o porque de algumas atitudes de Colton. Eu compreendi o motivo pelo qual ele tem tanto medo de se deixar envolver e consegui enxergar aquela pequena chama de esperança em seu peito de que talvez Rylee pudesse salva-lo. A sua vulnerabilidade é de quebrar o coração.Não vou mentir. O termina e volta deste livro é extremamente frustrante. Eu queria bater em Colton. Eu queria abraça-lo. Eu queria gritar com Rylee para deixá-lo de uma vez. E eu queria berrar para ela não deixa-lo.Fueled é muito melhor que o primeiro livros desta série em tantos aspectos. Se esta saga começou, ao meu ver, como um copycat de outros livros do mesmo gênero, aqui a autora parece ter finalmente achado o seu estilo e dado uma partida mais original quanto ao seu enredo. Esta estória com certeza trouxe a tona muito mais emoções. A química entre os protagonistas é explosiva. E eu definitivamente recomendo!

最後にだけ事件が起こるが、それまでは相変わらずの展開なしで、気持ちが揺れ動く話が延々と続きます。

This one hurt so good! And we finally discovered what A.C.E. stands for. I loved every minute of this book.

História bem contada, cheia de detalhes dos personagens e das cenas, livro fácil de ler e não dá vontade de largar!
