About the author

A longtime escapist into books, M.A. Lee began writing cozy mysteries and romances when other sources of that gold ran out. The gold nuggets of Mary Stewart, Georgette Heyer, Andre Norton, Phyllis A. Whitney, and Elizabeth Peters inspired her to write her own nuggets, even if they're only pyrite.

Look for the Into Death series, set after World War I, and the other books in the Hearts in Hazard series.

Favorite Books of all Time:
Mary Stewart's My Brother Michael.
Mary Stewart's This Rough Magic.
Georgette Heyer's Venetia.
Ellis Peters' The Virgin in Ice.
Andre Norton's Year of the Unicorn

Authors that I will recommend beyond the influences and the favorites: Dorothy L. Sayers. Tony Hillerman. Tamara Leigh. Patricia Briggs. Lindsay Buroker. Linnea Sinclair. W.R. Gingell. Agatha Christie. C.J. Cherryh.

Rush has it all. Always looking for something new, he decides race car driving is his next big thing. Grace, a sports journalist, has a new assignment - interview Rush, no easy feat. The book is short, almost too short, but I loved it. Rush's entire attitude changes when he realizes that Grace isn't like most reporters. They have things in common - the chemistry is scorching, and the banter is entertaining. There's a bit of drama as he tries to enter a world where he isn't known and not welcomed by everyone.

Rush by M.A. Lee and KB Worlds was another fantastic book in the Driven series. Rush and Grace were simply amazing together and their chemistry was off the charts hot. Grace is a journalist and her first big assignment is to interview sexy CEO Rush Langley when he decides to take up racing. Rush and Grace both have painful pasts as children that have defined their lives and made them who are as adults. Their story will grab you from the first page and not let go until the very last page. Definitely recommend!

I enjoy racing, so I love anything race-related in a romance. I liked that Grace helped bring Rush's real personality out, and also gave him encouragement both personally and professionally to go after his dreams. There were a couple of things that seemed off in some of the descriptions, but otherwise I loved the idea of finding what makes you feel alive.

Another good read written in the Driven series. I loved the first person point of view of the story, this is a huge deal breaker. This is a short story, I read in one sitting.
