Driven by Passion was a sweet second chance romance about two widows finding love again. Lucky and Korrine were perfect for each other. Love came knocking when neither of them were looking. Each of them was exactly what the other one needed at just the right time. I was a little shocked at how quickly Korrine got pregnant. Yeah, they were having a ton of unprotected sex but, it literally felt like she was pregnant in the next chapter after the first time they had sex. How fast did time move forward between those chapters?!!! Also, the author never gave us the age of the characters. I don't know if Lucky and Korrine were in their 20's, 30's, or 40's. Other than that, Driven by Passion was great read. It makes you want to find a picturesque town like Sweetwater Hills to move to and find my own HEA.

Loved it!
I thoroughly enjoyed cruising through Sweetwater Hills with Orlando and Korrine who find love again. It was so endearing! It was my first read by this author but it won’t by my last! Take a bow, my love!

I needed this!!
I loved how both Korrine and Lucky didn't allow the loss of their spouses to keep them from finding love again. They moved a bit fast but their chemistry and connection were real. This story somewhat makes you want to find a picturesque town like Sweetwater Hills to move to and find your happy ending lol

This was a really good novella...
Queen Monae really crane through with this heart felt novella.
Finding love after the loss of the person you thought you'd spend the rest lie your life with is amazing. Karrin & Orlando came into each others lives when their minds and hearts were open and ready to receive love. I Will Forever find a man that loves and devote their all to their child/children sexy asf😍. This book was short, sweet and have me everything I needed.

Love after lost
This may have been a novella but it had a beginning, middle, and end. It was a full story and I enjoyed it. I am looking forward to other sweetwater hills stories. I get the feeling more is coming.
I loved how Orlando and Korrine discovered each other. They started a life quick but it was worth it. They both lost their first loves but that was how they bonded. It was a blessing in disguise.
This is a great read. I recommend downloading, relax, and enjoy.

I loved this story. Orlando was such a gentleman. We don’t see enough stories with single fathers and this one did not disappoint. The couple was brought together through their loss but it didn’t hold them back. The way they honored their lost loved ones was admirable. Another great read by this author.

For skim readers.
Reads like a rough draft. I had to DNF due so much tell and not enough show. Characters felt like placeholders. Nothing to connect with, which is a shame since I picked the book based off the idea of new beginnings. I wanted to rate higher, but the lack of clear direction beyond the mundane details was too much for the novella's length.

Very Sweet
This story is sweet just like Sweetwater Hills. It was refreshing to take a break from the usual drama that comes with your typical romance book. It was nice to not have to deal with that. Korrine and Lucky’s relationship sizzle from the beginning and was enough to keep my interest until the end. Kudos on a job well done.

Short but definitely sweet
This was a short story but it was so enjoyable. Korrine and Orlando have suffered a devastating loss. Reading about these two find love makes for a great story. Definitely looking for more stories from Sweetwater Hills 🙂.

Sweetwater Love
They say you get one great Love in a lifetime but Korrine and Orlando proved that theory wrong. They bonded over the loss of their spouses from Cancer but the Love they had for each other was undeniable.

Short read
Good book. The writing style was kinda simple, but it was easy to read and a quick read at that.

Lucky!
I was smiling, laughing and feeling all ‘gooey’ inside. This was a feel good book, pure love, attraction and similar life experiences. Loved the HEA family ending.
