First I would like to state that I received this book through the Goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest review. I would like to thank the author for giving me this opportunity and honor in being able to read this book. When I received this book I began reading it at once. I really enjoy the authors writing style, the author pulls you into the book from the very beginning. I would recommend this to anyone.

What Drives A Man
I didn’t know what to expect when I was sent this novel for review. I have to say I love the cover, it really tells the story of the book. The editing is on point and this is a new take on an old story line. Mr. Brown does a great job drawing the readers in. He is truly a story teller and you can make no mistake on the direction he is taking you. This was like no other I read. Very well written novel with great a storyline the characters feel so real and relatable. That is super important to me when I am reading.
The opening scene we are taken right into the middle of a bank robbery. As you can see the action starts right off the back and doesn’t let you go. As you read about each of the friends motives of this stick up crew you get a better understand why they chose the illegal way of life. As nothing good can last with some sort of drama and this is no different. When the green eyed monster rears its ugly head it starts a downward spiral. Who will come out on top of the back stabbing, greed, lies and bruised egos? Will there be a level head or will they fall victim to the deadly sins?
The ending will have you wanting more. I can’t wait for part 2 to see how this plays out. My heart was in suspense until the faithful words to be continued. WHAT I dear it ends like this: I need more now. I really hope the next installment is in the works. I am waiting for it. I need it like yesterday. This author really impresses me with his writing skills. I see great things on the horizon for Mr. Brown.
