My choosing to listen to this was at an ideal time. They are currently working on filming the movie for the first book in this series, Driven, which you can read my review of if you click on the title in this sentence. So between listening to this, and seeing all the photos online, I was totally in the frame of mind that I NEED this movie to hurry up and be finished! I loved this one in that we got to see little Zander (I don't like that spelling, it should be Xander, but that's my opinion) all grown up. It started with him being a bit of a brat with Colton, the man who adopted him, all because of some news he got. Now, I knew that he was probably being a little over the top, because how Zander as a little boy, possibly be responsible for killing his mother, who his father had stabbed with scissors. When it was finally spelled out for the reader/listener, it totally made sense. And I guess, to be fair, Zander did have a lot of baggage, so it's not that crazy that he might go a little nuts at finding that out. I mean even though he was adopted into a loving family with Colton and Riley, Colton had also been adopted to a wonderful family after his horrible childhood, and still had issues as an adult. And then there was Getty. I loved her. She had such a bad experience, but she took charge, got herself out of it, even if she had to run away and basically go into hiding. There were times that Zander would say something to her or behave a certain way and it would make me angry at him, as he should have known better after his own mother suffered similarly.

I was a bit shocked when Getty's father, part of her abusive past, came back into the story before halfway through the book. I knew that meant there were many more things to cause drama and heartache. Which I should have expected, knowing how Bromberg's mind works. The part with Getty's ex-husband was pretty intense at first, although once we switched to Zander's POV on that it got kind of rushed to the end I felt like I'd missed something. The final obstacle I kind of figured was what it would be. But I am a little ticked at Getty for not believing him, she should have known Zander better than that. However, it totally made for a happy tears ending. I am excited that this author will also be at Book Bonanza this summer. Although since I have met her before, I may not wait in too big of a line to see her if there are other authors I haven't met yet.
