I've read the series and now I've read the ACED Prologue and it was heart-stopping!! Magnificent and sexy. This boxed set is absolutely fantastic and a must-needed addition for any fan of Colton Donavan and The DRIVEN Series!! It's a love letter from the author to her fans. Happy reading!

[AmyKatherine1974 · Rating 5 out of 5]

I adore this series and what is better is this limited edition box set! Why? You get the three original series books plus the companion- in an easy to read (and re-read- trust me you will want to do a reread or seven) format so that you don't have to go back and forth between the companion and the original books on your ereader while reading.

Plus there are some extra scenes with Rylee and Colton including as well as an extended excerpt from the author's upcoming book Hard Beat to be released November 3rd and the prologue to the next book in the Driven series: Aced. And let me tell you that prologue? Makes me want to fast forward to January for ACED!! I can't wait!

“Why tie myself to just one woman when there are so many out there vying for my attention?” he goads, trying to push more of my buttons.

“Colton!” A sexy voice purrs at the door to the conference room, interrupting me. I snap my head up to see the svelte Bailey smiling seductively, all wide eyes and batting eyelashes.

The blonde says something and Colton turns his attention back to her. She lifts her hand from his chest to rest on his cheek and lifts her face up, placing a slow, seductive kiss on his lips in ownership.

“I’ll let you in on a little something as well, Ace. I don’t like being made to feel like I’m sloppy seconds to your blonde bevy of babes.” I step back, forcing a confident smirk on my face. “You’re developing a pattern of wanting me right after I know you’ve been with another.

“You know, the blonde from your arm earlier?” Fucking Raquel. Why’d I invite her again? Her blowjob skills—her best asset frankly, even if thinking it makes me a prick—are a distant memory at the sight in front of me. Because right here, right now, all I can think of is Rylee.
“Raquel? She’s inconsequential.”

“I’ve fucked you, Rylee, and now I’m done with you! I told you that’s all I was good for, sweetheart …”
“I’m bored with you already. Can’t you see that? You’ve served your purpose. A quick amusement to bide my time. Now I’m done. Get out!”

“Just remember what I always say; don’t lose yourself trying to hold onto someone who doesn’t care about losing you.”

Tawny next to me on the couch. Reaching over her to the end table to grab my beer. Her reaching up. Hands around my neck. Mouth on my lips. Too much alcohol and a chest still burning with need.
Kissing her back. Getting lost in her momentarily. Trying to get rid of the constant damn ache. To forget how to feel.
Images of last night keep flashing. Fuckin’ Tawny.

I start shoving off my shirt and underwear—needing to get the feel of Tawny’s hands off of me. Her perfume off of me. Needing a shower desperately.

“Because when your ex answers your door this early in the morning with your shirt on, what else am I supposed to think? ”
“Of all people, Colton…why choose her? Why turn to her? Especially after what we shared the other night…after what you showed me.”
“You told me the other night that Tawny had a tenth of the sex appeal I had? Guess you chose to go slumming, huh?” I know I’m being overdramatic but my chest hurts...

“Turning to someone else…fucking someone else, is unacceptable to me. Something I won’t tolerate.”

“But, Rylee, I need you…”
“Then maybe you should have thought of that before you needed her.”

Colton leans down to the blonde on his right—his eyes still on mine—and proceeds to kiss her. And I’m not talking a peck on the lips. I’m talking a full-blown kiss.

“Women are vicious bitches and men are confusing bastards”

This is definitely one of those series that as soon as you read the first chapter, you already know you’re gonna be blown away. It was like love at first sight. Completely sweeps all your clear thought and drags you into that roller coaster that you never want to come off from.
Mr. Colton Donavan - handsome, confident, reckless, smart-ass, cocky, alpha race driver. He surely is going to steal your heart and slowly make his way in it. He was a major jerk in the beginning and there were times that I wanted to shake him real hard, but with each page you just start to realize there’s so much more behind that wall he has built around himself.
Rylee Thomas – sexy, innocent and sweet at first look, with need to control everything in her life. But as pages go by you see she also has some issues from her past to deal with that slowly unfold.
There are moments that can make you laugh hard. There is that sexual tension and undeniable attraction between Colton and Rylee. A lot of hot and steamy sex scenes. Moments that will make you jump from your seat, and scream, and shout "Nooo" to the wall :) Fights and drama, and deep emotions that pull each string in your feelings.
K. Bromberg's writing is captivating and gets to you on so many levels. You can't really put these books down, even if you want to... K. Bromberg will definitely steal your heart with that trilogy and will not let go. Be prepared to be voodooed for life. That's the real power of the Driven magic! Thank you Kristy, for giving us that remarkable and memorable story!
Really loved these books!!! So realistic and touching that you feel all emotions as your own. Absolute perfection! One of my all time favorite!!

I loved this compilation - all books in one and Raced integrated in the right place so you have both POVs when they happen and you don't need to flip between books...Gosh...I've read those so many times and even now I cried like a baby the last half of Crashed. Breath-taking, sould-shattering, mindblowing, gut-wrenching, herat-warming and with love so imperfectly perfect it'll leave you wanting more and more...
...and WOW that ‪Aced‬ prologue...All the old feels hit me again like a tidal wave. Kristy managed to make me laugh and cry again in just a few pages. How she does that is beyond me! I believe I'll be a crying mess by the end of this book...and I've never in my life wanted to read a book that badly...

Below some videos for books 1 and 2 I made! I hope you'll get hooked ;) Enjoy and take the ride of your life!!!

[Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

I recently just finished this series. It's more then any other series I have read in a long time. Full of angst, love, heartbreak, hope, hurt and healing. I cried, I laughed, I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. I am an emotional reader what can I say. I HIGHLY recommend this series!! If you like the 50 shades genre, if you even have a slight inkling for love stories.. Get this series!!! I wish I could say more but I don't want to spoil it for new readers and let's face it this series has me SPEECHLESS!!!! For anyone who has not read this series yet.. This is the perfect way to get the entire series (to date) plus the prologue for Aced due out in January!! And an extended excerpt of Hard Beat!! Seriously.. I don't promote books unless they totally rock my world and this series did!! My world, my heart and my soul. Colton and Rylee will grab your heartstrings and never let go.. These books are a must read!! A must own.. You won't regret it!! You'll be racing to the finish line..

This is one of my all time favorite series!!!

So intense & emotional. Funny & action packed. Keeps you guessing from page to page. Kristy has a way with words & there are a few scenes in these books that just GUT you & then the next chapter put you back together with Colton & all his SWOONY ways!! OMG when you get to this one part, near the end of Crashed... Dear Jesus! Men in real life don't hold a candle to Colton!! Do yourself a favor & pick this series up! You won't regret it.

I RACE, RACE RACE this series, they are my 'go to' books, I can't tell you how many times I have read them all. Colton and Rylee's story will touch you hearts in more ways than one. Read the 'blurb' and if you haven't already you seriously need to READ them now!

All K.Bromberg's books are fantastic, so make sure you check them all out!

That. Is. All!

[Darci Henderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sigh. I haven't started yet, because life. On top of that, I'm totally lame & didn't leave word reviews for the trilogy when I read them in February. I do have one for Raced, though!! Still lame because I suck at reviews but there are words, at least. So here is that, & I'll do the others after the refresher. Aaand, yes. 5 stars. Because the few things that weren't my favorites the first time around were made irrelevant by the simple existence of this set. #whateveridowhatiwant

::RACED::
The school scene. His first time back in the car. The wedding. So so good. For the record, I seriously LOVE alternate POV books. I imagine they're tough to write, and some don't really dive in & give attention to the details. Those types, when 75% is repeated word for word, are a total snore. Colton is such a complex character. Kristy freakin nailed it.

[Michele · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this series. K. Bromberg takes you on a journey that you never want to end. Colton and Rylee's story pulls on all of your feelings and keeps you glued to the pages. One of the best reads ever!!!

K. Bromberg incorporates four (4) books into this set. This boxed set includes the complete prologue to her upcoming book Aced which is coming in January and is totally related to this series. You will also receive an excerpt of Hard Beat which releases on November 3, 2015.

I highly recommend this Boxed Set. You will not be disappointed, but you will become a huge fan of K. Bromberg.

[Katie W · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm doing a review on the entire Trilogy here. This was one of the first trilogies I feel in love with years ago. After 50 Shades sucked me into a world of reading I didn't know I was going fall in love with.

Over the past 5 years, I think I have read this 2-3 times and listened once (reading is better). First I will say, the length of this book gives you mixed emotions..

One minute I'm like...



Then the next I'm like...



This series evokes so many emotions. Love, hate, annoyance, angst, shock, laughter, joy, sadness and of course it will definitely get you all hot and bothered.

Colton and Rylee give you moments that you love them so much it hurts and then gives you moments that you just flat out want to hurt them. This is not your normal fairy tale - this entire series is a push and pull of two people who are completely and utterly drawn to each other, but are fighting so much baggage. Definitely Colton, man it breaks my heart what his character goes through, but there were so many times I wanted to throttle the shit out of that man, before taking him to bed.



The side characters are incredible. From Beck to all the boys at The House. And the ending, man it has everything you want to give you butterflies in your stomach.

I will say, we could have definitely done with a little less internal monologue and turmoil. But if that happened I would probably be upset that they just move on from shit. Here I go again, proving that I'm impossible to please.

I have been contemplating re-reading this for a while because of its length. But after week off of anything books since I was in such a book funk and it was a good series to bring me back to the world I love and adore so much. Actually let me clarify, I only technically read the last 2 books because I watched the Passionflix Driven Series first. So while the series left out a lot of the book, I remembered most of it and could easily pick up book 2 when I finished the show.

One of the Best series out there...must read

[April · Rating 5 out of 5]

Review for Book 1:
This story is AMAZING!!!!! I`ve had it on my to read list for the longest time and i`m smacking myself for not reading this sooner. God, where to start...... well Rylee`s heart is broken severley and she`s afraid to let Colton (Ace) in, but she has her reasons and I DON`T BLAME HER ONE BIT ;p
What to say about Colton .... I don`t know where to begin, but damn is he swoon worthy or what!!
I really do feel for him cause damn, there is something going on there.
So excited for Fuel so I`m off to read :D

Jan 16-14 - So I fell into a HUGE mofo book slump and thought I needed a little Ace in my system.
Well 2nd time around and it's still a 5 star for me!!!!!
Ace is one sexy beast but my heart is breaking with the shit that he's literally NOT dealing with.
Off to read Fueled again; I hope the 3rd book doesn't take to long to get here :)

Review for Book 2:
Oh man, what to say about ACE???? This man is battling some heavy fucked up demons and I just want to wrap myself around him and beat those demons away. Well this is pretty much how Rylee feels and I absolutely LOVE them together; one of my FAVORITE couples.
I pretty much predicted the ending, and I have NO clue where the final book is going to go, I mean I expect the agnst and drama and I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing story, I LOVED IT and will definitely read it again :D

Review for Book 3:
OK, I`M GOIN IN!!! I don`t want this story to end, but I need something to rock my socks off and I was missing Ace WAY TOO MUCH ;)
SPOILERS AHEAD .............
March 12 - I`m done ;D
This has got to be one of my absolute favorite stories!! K, I LOVE YOU!! Thank you for introducing Ace, Rylee and the entire gang to us readers.
This entire series was just one hell of race ;D My emotions went everywhere, especially with this book.
I wanted to savour this book because I new this would be the ending of an amazing story with such vibrant characters.
This book really was the pinnacle of the series. Everything that we read up until this point came to a fiery explosion.
Ace (Colton) and Rylee ARE one of my favorite couples from all the books I`ve read. Both characters have gone through hell and back, but I think for Colton, his tragic childhood just completely destroyed me.
Rylee was definitely a character that I saw myself falling in love with. She was more determined to piece together the shattered remains of Colton`s heart.
I would NOT change one single thing in this story. It is brilliant in the way that you cannot help but feel yourself being sucked into the lives of each and every character.
This series has one of the BEST supporting characters EVER!! I really really loved Colton`s Dad; would have liked to maybe see a bit more interaction between him & Colton, but what K gave us was more than enough.
K, I really really have no words other than THANK YOU.
This is a series that I would definitely recommend to everyone. It has everything from laughter to completely heart breaking moments. You`ll feel drained of every emotion by the end of this series, but will also leave you with the biggest smile on your face :D

Christmas came early this year, because this brand new box set is a gift come true for both new fans and diehard Driven devotees alike! Encompassing all three books in the original trilogy (Driven, Fueled and Crashed), this Limited Edition Box Set also includes all the Colton-centric chapters from Raced integrated chronologically into the collection. Plus, never before deleted bonus scenes certain to make readers swoon, as well as an exclusive extended excerpt of the upcoming Driven release Hard Beat and the entire
prologue of the highly anticipated Aced! It’s a virtual smorgasbord of sweet, delectable cotton candy deliciousness!

I can say with 100% certainty that the Driven trilogy is the most provocative erotic romance series I've ever read! This wildly addictive, deeply moving New York Times bestselling series, masterfully crafted by the phenomenally talented K. Bromberg, is truly in a class of its own. Love, love everything about this trilogy. Bromberg's stirringly emotional writing style and gorgeous romantic prose. The fiery sparks and intense, soul-searing connection between hotshot race car driver Colton Donavan and vivacious social worker Rylee Thomas. The haunting superhero mantra. Torrid all consuming passion. “Ace’s” bad boy swagger and tormented soul. Rylee’s sass, spunk and beautiful, achingly vulnerable heart. The beloved, broken “Castaway” boys who form a makeshift family and teach us all the healing power of love and laughter. The exhilarating race car backdrop, thematic song references, and gutwrenching angsty tone. The glowing accolades just go and on…

Bottom line? As fans immerse themselves in the enthralling Driven Series box set, bound to leave them shivering in breathless delight AND dissolving into a big, sopping puddle of tears, they will be reminded, once again, why Ry and Colton's timeless love story will forever be engrained in all our hearts and souls.

[The Book Lover · Rating 5 out of 5]

I race this series so hard!!! you have no idea!! This series was presented to me by my best friend and man I'm so grateful.. this story is just everything I needed in my life as an emotional reader (yes I'm a guy) to say that I fell in love with Colton and Rylee would be an understatement.. This is not your typical story where everything runs smoothly.. nope there will be a lot of laps, pit stops, crashes and engine malfunctions (see what I did there?).

Colton is the typical cocky, arrogant, self center dude everyone loves to hate.. but what we didn't know was what was hidden behind that facade.. we realize that underneath all of that there's a very broken man that craves to be loved more than anything.. you will feel so hard for him that you might want to squeeze your reader device just to hug him.. and the way he treats Rylee is just amazing let me tell you...

Rylee is not your typical naive heroine.. she is strong, independent and doesn't take bullshit from anyone.. which is why I fell so in love with her! it was love at the first page! just like Colton she suffered an irreplaceable lost and tried to survive by surrounding herself with work, her best friend and her boys as she called them..

Together they're an explosive couple.. I mean you could see sparks flying whenever they were together.. their interactions were beautifully written full of passion, love, friendship, companionship, a little sass and heartbreak even..

There were parts of this series that were really hard to read as I listened to the playlist because its like the author played out some situations out of my life and placed the in this series with the same exact songs.. there were moments where I had to stop reading because of the tears that were running on my face.. hell I even ate chocolate while reading.. but it worked so well while I was reading.. I'm really grateful that I read it and Its a story that will stay with me forever #ColtonandRylee #Laps #checkeredflags

I already had all these books and have re-read them many times but purchased the box-set as a) it was a bargain, b) it had the prologue of Aced, c) it had bonus chapters and d) An extended excerpt of Hard Beat (releasing 11/3/15). If you have never read this series you are in for a real treat - especially as the chapters from Raced are placed in chronological order in Books 1-3. It is an unforgettable series, a constant rollercoaster of emotions, you will laugh, cry and every emotion inbetween. It has humour, sex (lots of hot sex!) and has you holding your breath and wiping your eyes throughout. Colton Donavan is a sexy, broken (no not broken - just bent), bad boy race car driver and Rylee Thomas a selfless, defiant, knows what she wants and fights for it respectable social worker who knows all about 'broken' as she works in houseful of broken boys. We also meet Becks, best friend to Colton, and Haddie, best friend to Rylee who then go own to have their own (deservidely) book. Once you have read this series you will want to read it again and again. Rylee and Colton are unforgettable characters who have touched my heart and soul and I felt every emotion with them. Roll on January for the final installment in this sexy romance. Pre-order Now Aced (The Driven Series Book 8)

This is how I feel about this whole series.



The Ace prologue was fantastic! These two are my favorite book couple and getting even more of them is the most amazing thing in the history of ever! This whole series gives you a swift kick in the feels and loving every minute of it. My #1 pimp out series to new readers because it's a sure thing and a must read!!

[Witchiepoo · Rating 5 out of 5]

All together in one book with Raced chapters in their right spots - all my wishes and dreams come true.

Another glimpse at the incredible writing of K. Bromberg as she takes us on a journey, where the characters are so real they become your friends. You go through the gamut of emotions they do, you cheer for them, you want to scream at them when they're being idiots and they take a part of your heart.

It made me fall in love with Rylee and Colton all over again. I smiled and laughed as well as cried like a baby (complete with inelegant snotty nose).

Then to top it off the sneak peak of Aced

[Hilary · Rating 5 out of 5]

I stumbled upon this series by chance, and boy am I beyond happy I did. Emotionally gripping, the Driven Series will leave you breathless and begging for more of this amazing duo. Rylie is amazing; her heart and spirit leave me in awe. Colton is the quintessential alpha male that will weaken you knees and melt your heart, all while infuriating you with his snark.

A series I will read and recommend over and over again!

What an amazing box set of my all time favorite series! If you haven't read this series, I suggest you grab this box set and settle in for the ride of your life! You'll never be the same after you meet Colton Donovan!!

[سارة · Rating 1 out of 5]

I can't believe I finished this series!!!!

When I first saw this novel and found out it was adapted into a movie, I thought, It must be an amazing and successful book if it got turned into a film. But then, I checked readers' reviews and ratings on this site, and I was shocked to see that the ratings were incredibly low. I was confused—how could it have such a poor rating while the author kept writing multiple installments of the series? So, I decided to settle the debate and judge for myself.

Well, this series consists of over 2,000 pages, and the main characters are:

Rylee: A kind-hearted girl who works to help orphaned children who have experienced trauma. She falls madly in love with Colton.

Colton: A typical playboy who doesn’t believe in love or relationships. He treats women as nothing more than objects for sex, and after getting what he wants, he kicks them out.

The rest of the characters are mostly secondary and have little impact on the storyline.


The novel starts with Rylee and Colton meeting (yes, in the very first chapter). And how do they meet? Classic. They bump into each other.

The rest? 50% sex and kissing.
50% Rylee and Colton sleeping together, something happens, Colton kicks her out… then she comes back to him just to sleep with him again.

And this cycle repeats over and over again. She has no self-respect or personality, and Colton is just one big walking red flag!!!

IN SHORT ,every third act in the history of romantic books is mentioned in this series, every type,
the Betrayal

The hero has a child with another partner

The heroine gets pregnant, but the hero doesn’t want children

Nightmares ,Etc .
Oh , and one star for Beck.

[Colleen E. Woodhouse · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has become one of my all-time favorite series, if not my favorite. I discovered the books after seeing the series/ movie starring Casey Deidrick, which ended on a major cliffhanger. I had to read to see what happened next and ultimately devoured this entire series in less than a week.
It, on the surface is your typical "toxic bad boy swears off commitment but is changed by the love of a good woman" trope. But K. Bromberg does a magnificent job of developing characters and delving into childhood trauma and healing from it in a realistic and engaging way. It isn't just "I love you" and they all become perfect and live happily ever after. They continue to struggle and grow with one another.
The supporting characters are so well built you will subsequently dive into their spin-off novels, too.
My only disappointment, which has nothing to do with the books and everything to do with the movie adaption, is that Casey was unable to do the sequels and so they found a different actor to play Colton.
Nothing personal on the new guy, but Casey WAS Colton, and I just couldn't connect to the new guy in the role.
I would have loved to see Casey play out Colton's character arc on screen.

[Abbie Robinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whilst i was reading this series i read some of the reviews whilst updating my good reads. Many questioned the book as it has a great star rating but apparently not many good reviews? i want to help change that!

I agree with many people that at first Colton comes across as an arrogant arse, he’s the douchebag that we all have a secret crush on. But as his past is uncovered, his character development through the series is incredible. Watching him grow was one of my favourite parts about these books. I also do not understand how people claim Rylee isn’t a strong character, that’s she’s weak and a bad example for females. Rylee is an incredible character with a strong heart. She doesn’t let Colton push her around and treat her like any of his other girls.

I would highly recommend this series to anyone interesting in reading. I race these books

First things first.
NA really isn't my jam. That being said, I didn't hate The Driven Collection. In fact, I'm glad I read this convenient box set as I doubt I would have read past Driven if the others weren't already there.

Do you remember that insanely in love, high drama, couple in high school that both entertained and annoyed?
Rylee and Colton were quite the reminder.

Strengths: Not bad for a first book. I may try something more recent by this author to see if her style has evolved.

Weaknesses: Overwrought writing and dialogue. Inner monologue was painfully awkward. Weird descriptions and word choices. Boring and repetitive sex scenes. Tedious. Melodramatic AF. I think this story could have been told quite well in one book.
