Dirt Driven, the final book in my all time favorite series was a bittersweet read. "Sigh" and now I struggle. How do you review your family? Because that's who these people have become. I watched Jameson (Rowdey Riley) and Sway fall in love. Together they raised 3 kids Axel, Arie and Casten while tackling both the world of NASCAR and the World OF Outlaws. I witnessed Jameson's dad Jimi become a legend. I saw Axel Struggle with tragedy and still follow in the footsteps of the 2 champions before him. I was there when Casten the trouble making little mama's boy grew up. Ok so Casten never really did grow up but I was there as he raced right along side his family pranking everyone at every chance. As this (my) family grew I got to see Arie who was daddy's little girl fall in love with Rager (The Sweet Spot) Sweet, the only man she was ever supposed to be with. There was also the next generation of dirt track loving little rugrats. My family would not have been complete without Tommy and Willie, who along with Casten caused trouble at every turn lol. Then there was Rosa the housekeeper/babysitter who never did either. She spent her time walking around with her fanny pack full of "juice boxes" and a White Claw in hand trying her best to catch Jameson or Rager naked. I kinda want to be Rosa lol. In the end I was there for every win, loss, tragedy, birth, accident, championship, success and failure. I was there for it all.
So thank you Shey for giving me my family. This may be the end of this series but I will never give this family up. LOVED this!

This was my first book from”Racing of the Edge” series., but not last! I know thtat this book is the last story in all series, but I didn't read all ten previous books! Now I must do this.
„Dirt Driven” is a fantastic racing story. I love cars, motocycles and all this racing world. New book written by Shey Stahl made me happy, because I could be in this world again.
Arie and Rager story is like a race – fast, true and dangerous. I was in this book from the first page and I couldn't put it down.
So, when everybody who have read this series from the first book are crying now, I am the one who is really happy, because I have ten books to read in this fantastic racing world.
„Dirt Driven” is an amazing story!

I haven’t read all of the books in this series. But this book was enjoyable to read. You see how well this group are together and all they’ve gone thru with each other.

I can’t believe that this is the last book in the Racing on the Edge series 😭😭😭
The great thing is that if you haven’t read any of the other books this book can also be read as a stand alone.
Rager is up there on my list of all time favorite characters and this book does not disappoint. In true Shey Stahl fashion, she takes us on a ride that has you laughing, crying and sitting on the edge of you seat in anticipation of what will happen next.
Do yourself a favour and buy this book... just remember to strap yourself in as this dirt flying action is about to take you on one heck of a ride.

This book….gah all the emotions. So first off, this can be read as a stand alone, but I would recommend reading the whole Racing on the Edge series! This book, along with the rest of the ROTE series follows the Riley family and how they are all intertwined, and Dirt Driven is specifically about Arie and Rager Sweet. This book focuses on love, tragedy, family, lots of laughs and tears. Arie has grown so much into an amazing woman and with Rager by her side, it’s wonderful to see their characters blossom. I sure hope there is more to come as the new characters deserve a series! Come on Shey! Give us what we want! 😊

I’ve been in love with the Riley Family and their Crazy Shenanigans since the very beginning. This book is the perfect ending to an incredible series. This story centers around Arie and Rager, but as usual with the Racing on the Edge books, you get the entire family and crew. Shey brings you emotional moments like only she can do and as usual, you don’t want to put the book down. Before you know it, you’ve read the entire book in one setting! It’s Great read, it doesn’t disappoint. If you haven’t read the ROTE series, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??

Omg I can’t believe it’s over. I’m going to miss all these guys. You can’t help to fall in love with them all, especially Rager and Arie. It’s a story about love and the struggles of being racers wife. You will love this story Shey does an excellent job on pulling you into the story. I don’t want to say goodbye. You gotta get this 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks again Shey for an awesome story. You rocked it

The Sweet Spot!
I cried ugly tears again while reading this series. I feel as though I am a part of the Riley family. I could be the normal distant cousin. The story never gets old and Arie and Rager are my favorite couple. Sad that this is the last book, but thankful for all the memories. Great job Shey Stahl!

The end of a series is never something I look forward to. Somehow, Shey Stahl found a way to have me excited and sad all in one to see the series ROTE come to an end. I started this series in 2012 (ish) as one of my first Romantic reads and have followed this Author and every one of her works since.
I was nervous for this book. I LOVE these characters and to know that I would not see them again was not easy. I started page 1 at 10 am and finished the entire book that night by 8 pm. You cannot dislike this book. You see all of the original characters plus fall more in love with Arie and Rager.
Arie and Rager have always been it for each other. This story never makes you question whether they will make it but whether even the strongest couples have what it takes to do it with grace and not destroy each other and everyone around them in the process. I love the fact that you can feel the emotions of all the characters when Shey writes and this book was no different. This book is a necessary read but I absolutely recommend reading the whole series to not lose out on the awesomeness that is the Rileys.

I’m almost ashamed to admit that this has been the first book I’ve read from Shey’s Racing on the Edge series, however I can now look forward to reading the others, having said that this is part of a series it was really easy to follow and can be read as a stand-alone, don’t let the fact that it’s part of a series put you off.
I’ve always had an interest in the racing community and with all the details given about what occurred both on the tracks and behind the scenes had me hooked throughout this brilliantly written book. Then there’s Arie and Rager, the main protagonists of this story, theirs is a tale of true love at it’s finest, it was raw, brutal, honest and downright funny with their brood as well as the rest of their extended family, but most of all it was real.
Join this fantastic racing family as they face many hurdles and hard decisions ahead in this, another fabulous five star read from the super talented Shey Stahl.

The last book in a wonderful series that spans years of a blood family and those that have been made family. This book centers on Arie and Rager but all the family is their in their humorous, sometimes gross, loving way. It is sad to see this series end...maybe there will be another with all of the grands of Shey and Jameson...who knows but it is really hard to give this family up when I feel like I know them and feel all the emotions.
Shey is an incredible author that pulls you into the story and you do not want to put the book down. She has a talent like very few authors in my library. There is a humor to her books that is just so fun but at the same time there are emotions and you feel like they are actually yours. I have actually cried and laughed out loud within the same book. I am begging here, please maybe start another series like this and don't let us loose the ROTE family.
I was offered an ARC for an honest review.

Dirt Driven is the 11th and final book in the Racing on the Edge Series. I was so excited to get to read more of Arie and Rager's story. Every book and couple in this series is great but these two are my favorite. The first book I read in this series was Open Wheel which is when I fell in love Arie and Rager as well as the rest of the Riley family and have been hooked ever since. Shey has such a beautifully unique style of writing that not only pulls you into the story but makes you feel like the story is unfolding in front of you with your friends and family in your hometown. You will cry, laugh, yell and cheer this family on both on the track and off. I am sad to see this series end but am so happy with how it all ended. I don't want to give any spoilers away but I highly recommend you read Dirt Driven.

I could say a lot about the Racing on the Edge Series, first of all AMAZING!!! And secondly who doesn’t love the entire Riley Family, I mean I have fallen in love with each and everyone of them. I recommend this series 100%. I also love Arie and Rager’s story, the love, the struggle, and connection that these two have with one another. You don’t really see that kind of deep connection between two people but I felt like I could feel it in my bones while I was reading this book. I really hope that “the end” really isn’t the end, because I feel like I could read The Racing on the Edge series forever. Thank you Shey for giving me one of the best series I have ever read, and one that I will continue to re-read forever.

Fitting end to a phenomenal series
This book had me busting up with laughter and then next thing I know, breaking me down into tears. I absolutely recommend reading this book along with the rest of the series from start to finish if you haven’t already.
I love the themes of family, love, despair and certain brand of humor that are woven in throughout the entire book. It was great to catch up with the Riley family and see what they were up to. I think the icing on the cake was the fact that Shey added in pieces of info about every character that made this book even more satisfying to read. At the same time, it made me even sadder to say goodbye to this series that has a special place in my heart forever. Thank you Shey for another fantastic book!

Wow this series has been a ride and a ride within a ride when it came to Rager and Arie.
There has been moments in Arie’s 3 book where I really didn’t like her, and I really wanted to like her. I mean how can you not love the daughter of Jameson and Sway Riley. In Open Wheel she definitely started coming into her own and I absolutely fell in love with her and now in Dirt Driven she may just be a favorite of mine.
I cannot believe this is the end of this series. Jameson and Sway will forever be two of my most favorite characters ever. I can read their books over and over again.
Dirt Driven was a fantastic finale!

This cannot be the end! The Riley family has my heart, and this book has me ready for more. I did not want the book to end and struggled to put it down while reading. The love Arie and Rager have for one another gives me butterflies as I read it. I can’t even describe it. The reader can just feel their connection (as I always have with this series). There was angst and sadness (I had tears a few times), and just like all other ROTE books, there were some crazy antics that had me laughing out loud and crying tears from laughing so hard. Rosa is the funniest character I have ever experienced in any book I have ever read (that’s over 300 books, by the way) Loved it! Highly recommend. Just sad to see this series end, as it is one of my all time favorites
October 12, 2020
So much to say about this series! It focuses on family, dedication, love, tragedy, dirty humor....the list could go on and on. It is my all time favorite series that I’ve ever had the pleasure reading. This book though was about Rager, who is one of my favorites, and Arie. Arie’s character was developed beautifully over the series. She came to be the woman who was a lot like her Mom. Rager became one of my favorite characters and I got quite emotional over him in many parts of the story. Thank you Shay for adding in bits and pieces of every character so that there weren’t any loose ends! Well except Kinsley’s story! We need a book in them!!!
October 13, 2020
I was terrified when I started this. Legit wanting to throw my phone and say "eff this I'm not reading anymore " But oh my god. It was everything. I don't even know what to say. I am gonna miss this family so much. When I would read one of their books I always felt like a part of it. Like I knew them and somehow was living the words. My heart is so full right now. I just loved it so, so much. Rager and Arie were always my favorite and this story about broke me. Everything was simply brilliant. From where we started with Jameson and Sway to now...I think we came full circle. I can't ask for more.

What an amazing ending to an incredible series! Dirt Driven is a read in one sitting type of book. Something you can’t put down from the first word. A book that pulls you right in and you don’t ever want it to end.
This entire series is one amazing story after another. It takes an amazing author to keep a series going for 11 books and not lose what makes them so special. Shey Stahl pulls you in with this family and has an unbelievable way of making you feel like you personally know them.
Do yourself a favor and start from the beginning. It’s worth every word!

I don’t know where to begin with this one.. I couldn’t put it down, but those page numbers kept taunting me as I got closer to the end of the book. Rager and Arie are couple goals. They persevere and love hard with every page. I’ve read this entire series multiple times, and this book was the perfect ending to an era of laughs, tears and racing. Shey delivered 110% with this book. I’m ready to read it all over again. Strap in for a ride you didn’t know you needed and indulge in some Rager Sweet!
October 11, 2020
Please say it really is not over. Shey Stahl has given us a family to love. Arie and Rager are what couple goals should look like. This is their happily ever after, but what is a book in the ROTE series without some drama, craziness and a whole lot of fun. To finally see Arie as someone other then the princess was great, she really came in to her own as was not about to let her family fall apart. I will say I am with Rosa and would be trying to get those pictures of the bad boy too. Great read, great series, great family. I for one will definitely being reading it again. Thank you Shey.
October 11, 2020
Wow
OMG… I would give this book 10 stars if I could. The series deserves that and more. I’ve been in love with the Riley family throughout all the books and I can’t believe it’s coming to an end, please Shey say it isn’t so! I truly hope you continue with this family and the next generation… There are so many children and so much you could do with it. Please, please, please tell us about the kids. I would also like to see Easton get his comeuppance. I want to hear more about Caden and Kinsley

The last installment of such a great series. Shey writes such an amazing story and finishes the series full circle. Getting a last glimpse into the dirt track world Arie and Ragers story comes full circle along with all of the Riley shenanigan's. You will laugh, reminisce, cry, and still feel like being part of the Riley family. I did not want this story to end, but Shey did an amazing job. I am looking forward to reading this and the whole series over again when my dose of the Riley family is needed
October 9, 2020
If you haven't read the racing on edge series it's a must. This is the last book ok the series. However you can read it alone. But trust me you will go back to the first book and get hooked like the rest of us. The Riley family in this book is not just a book family they feel like real family. You will find yourself laughing crying and possibly yelling at this book. I really hope you read and enjoy the Riley's as much as I did . I highly recommend it.
October 9, 2020
I want to start by saying that I haven't read any of the other books in this series ( I know! I know! Clearly I'm an idiot 🤦♀️) ... However, I did not feel lost or confused reading Dirt Driven as a standalone. BUT I will definitely be going on a huge binge read because if this series is anything like this book... WOW!
From beginning to end I was wholeheartedly invested in these characters and their journey. A read full of ALL the feels!

This book!! I LOVED every second of it! Rager had me hooked from the beginning with his love and possessiveness of Arie. He is the perfect alpha male who loves his family with everything he is. I love the chemistry of all of the characters together. The whole family and extended racing family are just amazing! I did not read the whole series prior to reading this book but I will definitely be reading them now!!
October 13, 2020
Dirt Driven is an amazing book to read. Its one way to sum up the story for the end!! Arie and Rager are two amazing characters that I have seen grow up throughout each Racing on the edge book. I hate that this is the end in the series. I have loved every charter in this series in the Riley family. If your wanting a book that you never want to put down.... This is the end of the series you should START!!
October 13, 2020
I am one of those who had to read the previous book then this one! I will be reading the whole series ASAP! If you haven’t read a series that follows a family then you definitely need to start with this series! It sucks you in and then it’s done and so emotional over it ending! However, my gut is saying this isn’t truly done! Get your Kleenex’s a blanket and settle in, because you will not want to stop reading once you start! Shey Stahl you definitely do not disappoint ❤️
October 15, 2020
As always Shey has pulled us in to her world to get lost! From page one you are hooked. To do this in every book in a series as long as this one has been with us is such an amazing thing to do!
This book takes you on a ride from beginning to end!
Rager and Arie are the perfect ones to end out a series like this one! Grab a drink curl up and fall into the world of Rager, Arie and of course we can't forget the racing family too!! Dirt Driven deserves more than 5 stars for sure!

Wow! What an amazing end to such a great series! This was one of the longest series that I have read. I generally stay away from them but Shey Stahl pulled me in on book one and I followed it all the way through to the end. And boy, am I glad I did. This story was so much fun! The tales of the crazy kids and all of the antics of the family. This is a must-read, whether you do the entire series or this book as a stand-alone. You will not be disappointed.
