The Driven World
Ride
My brother’s rival rode away with my heart...
Kenni
From the moment I laid eyes on Finn Hawkins I knew he would be all kinds of fun... and all kinds of trouble, which is why I vowed to stay far, far away from the brooding motocross rider. I had enough experience with pro-riders to know I didn’t want to go down that road again. The last time I got involved with one, it left me shattered. Fixing bikes was in my blood... repairing a broken heart wasn’t.
Finn
The skinny mechanic I barely noticed turned out to be the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. MacKenzie “Kenni” Michaels wasn’t just a sassy mouth with pouty lips who loved to put me in place. She was the twin sister of my worst rival. I should know better but old habits die hard. Doing the wrong thing nearly cost me my career once--my demons never let me forget it.

This was a great addition to the Driven Series. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get into a book about motocross but I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the interaction and banter between Kenni and Finn. Their chemistry is smoking hot and the story was an emotional roller coaster ride. It did end on a major cliffhanger, leaving you wanting more right now. I can’t wait to see where this story goes.

Hot damn this book was amazing. This is the first book I’ve read of this author I am in love. I couldn’t put this book down. She sure knows how to deliver a highly emotional story. Even though it ended on a cliffhanger just makes me impatient to read the next instalment. Do yourself a favour and check this lady out her books are amazing

It took several chapters before I really got interested in the book but once I finally did I loved it. Well developed characters and I enjoyed the interaction between all of them. Did end on a cliffhanger but that just makes me look forward to the next book all that much more! It was suggested to start at the beginning of the series but I opted to dive right in with the book and I don't feel as though I missed a ton but that could explain why it took a few chapters for me to really be hooked.

Wow. What a rollercoaster ride of a story. You get the story of Kenni and Finn's relationship as it's told from both characters. The intense competition of motocross racing. A great story that just captures you and those last couple episodes just pull you in and then just fair warning it ends in a cliffhanger leaving you wanting more. Can't wait to read the second part of this story.

This is a great addition to the Driven World. Kenni and Finn took me by surprise and I loved it. They are rivals, or should be, but their chemistry can't be stopped. I was sucked into their drama and their back and forth.

What a roller coaster. I totally loved this book. These two getting together is a great read. The characters are all great and bring to the story so much. Can’t wait for the next one.

Need to start off by saying, I had no intention of reading a "sport" book. I'm not knocking them, just not my normal thing you know? I lean more toward the paranormal, gimme a sexy Dragon, a Cyborg or a sexy MM and I'm a happy woman!
But, this is the important part.....found out it was Heather Guimond! She totally hooked me and gutted me in some other books, so I was like, what the heck, I'm in!
And whoa, so glad I did. Kenni is an amazing woman, been through so much, hiding away being a "grease monkey" for her brother has been safe, but boring. Enter the hot sexiness that is Finn....fanning myself furiously here btw.......she had no clue what was coming!
And the end......I laughed so hard when it hit the cliffie ending. I can just see people screaming about it. All it did for me was make me want the next book, stat, quickly, be ready when it hits!!
So yeah, glad I went with my instincts and dived in, she blew me away again.

Ride by Heather Guimond is part of the Driven World novels. Mackenzie (Kenni) Michaels twin brother Matt is a Motocross racer. Kenni used to race too, but after a horrible break up with a boyfriend, she stopped racing and became a Matt’s “wrench” (mechanic). Finn Hawkins is a racer too, and happens to be her brother Matt’s biggest rival. They meet after Matt purposely bumps Finn in a race. Finn storms into Matt’s garage to confront him but instead meets Kenni, who at first he mistakes for a boy until Kenni stands up. Finn forgets about Matt and is fascinated with Kenni. This book is wonderful! I loved Finn and Kenni, they each have issues to deal with. They are very attracted to each other, but have many issue! Her brother being one of them. I love that the story is told from both points of view. This ends with a cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to read the second book! I highly recommend Ride!

When it comes to love and motorcross Kenni’s past has shown her that the two don’t mix. When a romance with a fellow rider ended her career did as well and now she is part of her brother’s team.
Finn is a motorcross rider who didn’t realize that not did Kenni work for his nemesis, but she is his sister as well. In his head he knows that keeping his distance would be his most prudent course of action, but his heart doesn’t seem to agree.
Hot chemistry, great characters and all the feels lead up to a cliffhanger that leaves us wanting more of this couple.

"I'm not cocky I'm confident- the consummate lion king..I can be elegant, fierce, or even protective, but I won't ever be a lamb.'
Finn hasn't had the easiest life. Demon's from his past haunt him but after a rough start in the business, finn is back on the scene. Having reinvented himself, he is ready to fight for the title of supercross champion. Unfortunately his name and reputation have been stained and time and good behavior hasn't seemed to change how he is perceived by his fellow riders.
One in particular, Matt michaels, has it out for him and he has no problem letting him know it either. After a cheap shot on the course, Finn goes to confront Michaels to find out that now he has really met his match in his twin sister, Kenni.
She has her own problems and a past of her own that brings its own obstacles and challenges to only complicate things further. Can these two broken and damaged pieces come together to make themselves whole again or will their baggage prove to be too much to make it work between them?
This ended in a cliffhanger so we'll have to wait for book two to find out! Normally I'm not a fan of cliffhangers because I need to know how it all ends but Heather wrote such strong, amazing characters that are not only engaging, but they put me on a rollercoaster of emotions.
Their playful, light hearted banter kept a smile on my face throughout the book and their matching wits made me love them more as a couple. They have great chemistry and compatability that made their interactions with eachother and attraction toward eachother convincing and realistic.
I love that Kenni is an independent andstrong woman who is feisty and has this take no s#it attitude. I love how Finn is cocky and aggressive, but it also nurturing and protective especially when it comes to Kenni in those fragile moments.
I love how far they both grew as people and can't wait to see what Heather has in store for their relationship and where their story ends up.

Kenni has been wrenching for her brother since he went pro in motocross. She was a racer in her own right until a bad break up with another racer sent her behind the scenes. She is happy living her life until Finn steps into their pit to see her brother. Finn has tried to be a better man and racer. He is stopped in his tracks when he spots the sexy mechanic. Now Finn has to goals to win the big race series and the girl.
This was my first Heather Guimond book and what a way to find a new author. I love Colton and Rylee so having them play such an integral role in Ride made it even better. Kenni and Finn will totally steal your heart. Finn's past will break your heart and Kenni has not had it easy either. The author did a great job giving me all the feels. A fabulous addition to the Driven World!

Finn is annoyed at his nemesis Matt for cheating him out of a race win and heads to see him but sees his twin sister Kenni instead. Finn wants Kenni but she’s trying hard to resist because a) her brother hates him and b) she has past history with bike racers and it isn’t pretty. The story has a fair few twists and turns with both having hard secrets to reveal. Finn definitely falls for Kenni before she allows herself to admit her feelings and he backs her up when the worst happens.
I didn’t realise the story was a part 1 and it does end of a cliffhanger so be aware of this.
Having read some of the other driven world books, this is a well written good addition to the series

Who knew the world of motorcross could be this epic? I didn’t!!! Especially when u add in kennie and Finn into the picture and you will have yourself an insanely hot romance!! Add in the spice of jilted Ex lover and bribery and it just makes this book THAT much more intense and addictive!!! BUT this book does end on a cliffhanger...so needless to say- I can’t wait for the ending!

Omg... loved loved loved this amazing book. Its a book that I struggled to stop reading to do daily life lol. Matt & Kenni are Team Micheals and are against Finn until a chance meet occurs and all bets are off when Finn and Kenni see each other. Then the battle to get to know each other commences. This book is full of emotions, love, passion, high flying drama and so much more. I cant wait for the next book .... absolutely amazing xx

“I remind myself a long time had passed, and I’d atoned for my sins.”
What an unexpected surprise came out of this book. I have loved all the Driven World Series...I knew you’d have great characters, steaminess, grit, heartache, regret, depth...but I was not expecting to get caught up in the sport. It added another dimension to the book. Getting drawn into their passion, obstacles and challenges.
“You should be careful coloring people with broad brush...You never know what you might paint over.”

Finn and Kenni pulled me in and kept me interested in their story. I enjoy the character growth, moving forward from darker days in their past and the story flowed to take me with them as their connection grew. I don't have issues with cliffhangers, I just wasn't expecting it with this one. I'm looking forward to more from them and where their lives take us.

Kenni and Finn were opposite sides of the racing world but when you find that one person does it really matter. This story has so much. Between the action, romance and drama it is the perfect story. I will say I was on edge the entire book. This author is new to me and am so glad I found her. I am already dying for the next book.
January 25, 2021
I really liked Finn and Kenni’s story. Kenni is very much her own woman in a man’s world, with her glaring issue of an ex. She makes some really bad decisions out of fear when it comes to the ex. Finn is just a doll, treating her like a lady, caring for her, and rocking her world. He has a really rough past and has bettered himself the best he could. There are a few typos. A really good read—and now to wait for the conclusion!

Ride
By Heather Guimond
Main Characters: Finn and Kenni
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
5 out of 5 stars
Finn is a motocross racer and Kenni is a wrench for her brother Matt. Kenni also used to race but had a bad experience a few years back with an ex and she dropped out of the scene to become her bothers mechanic. Heather did a great job with her character development. This is the first book by this author and I want to read more especially as this one ends in a cliffhanger. This book has a lot of different feels in it and the story behind Finn and Kenni before they met was pretty sad, to say the least. I am looking forward to how their story ends.

This story is another fantastic addition to this amazing series, and this is Finn and Kenni’s journey. Kenni uses to be a racer but after a bad experience with her ex she withdrew from the racing scene to become a mechanic for her twin brother. Finn is a broody motor cross racer who is Kenni’s brothers biggest rival, and from the moment these two meets the chemistry is intense and undeniable. Both characters have had a tough life, but will they ever be able to be together? This is a well written story which ends in a cliffhanger and has engaging and realistic and characters. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend for all.

Holy Crap. Finn and Kenni are off the wall with their chemistry. Finn is Kenni's brothers rival on and off the track. He is constantly telling Kenni to stay away from Finn, that he is bad news. Will Finn be able to move past his bad boy reputation and conquer the good girl? Will their past take them both down? Grab your copy and a take a RIDE filled with twist and turns.

A motocross book is not my normal go-to for reading so it took a lot for me to be invested in this book. (I also did not realize it was part of the ‘Driven’ world when I first read it so I know it can be read as a standalone because I certainly hadn’t read the others in said ‘world.’) I think this book’s saving grace, as it were, for me was Kenni, who is just such a strong person and she decides to follow her heart and see Finn, against her brother’s wishes. She cares because Matt is literally the boss of her (seriously, she works for him) and her heart led her to Matt’s main rival, Finn Hawkins. For his part, Hawk sets his sights on Kenni the second they first meet and riling up Matt in the process just sweetens the pot for him. So while not the norm in my reading history, I ended up enjoying this one. And I’ll have to read the next one as there are some plot lines left unresolved at the end of Ride, so I’m assuming there’s going to be another entry from Ms. Guimond in the series.

I’m not sure why it took so long to read this action packed book. I originally started reading it in January but wasn’t feeling it. So glad I gave it another chance! Kenni proved she was just as - or more - qualified as any male mechanic in the world or racing bikes. Finn was a romantic and a gentle giant with Corey, but he also didn’t hesitate to bring it when the need arose. The ending made me scream, NOOOOOOO, so now I'm waiting impatiently for the next book to see what pops off next!!!!
