I really enjoyed this story!
I enjoyed the pop in of Rylee and Colton!!
Seeing Quinlan stand up to her brother was fun too! They have a great sibling dynamic.
Hawk had some struggles to work through and seeing him evolve through the story was really wonderful!
The female narrator is a good performer but I don’t care for her voice.
The Male narrator on this was a perfect fit for Hawkin! He just nailed the feel of the character

Ok I have to get my thoughts in order. I have loved this series, so I was glad we got to see some of Colton and Rylee. Now I will probably get negative comments because they were not my favorite couple of this series. Shocked I know. I felt there story kind of dragged on, but I couldn't not keep reading you know its like a sickness! I did NOT read Raced and probably never will.
Now my favorite so far is Haddie and Beckett now there story is a 10+++ Stars. So I was hoping for something that wowing with this story. Don't get me wrong it was good 4.5 Stars I just kinda wanted the twin thing to either shit or get off the pot a little quicker. I Felt like that and the bet got dragged out a little to much.
But I lovvvvved Quinlan's whit and how she never took any crap from Hawk. Like at all she gave as good as she got. And she stayed that way through the whole book unlike in some books. The women start off strong and get weak not the case for sure with this baby she was awesome. And probably the reason I finished this book so fast. Hey now I know Hawk also had some help in that phew that boy is HOT and what he can do with his BODY... Damn!
So yeah loved the series last 2 books more then the first 3 in my opinion ;)

This is book six in the Driven series but is a complete standalone. I have not read the first five books and had no trouble with this story at all. I wanted to read this before Sweet Regret is released later this year.
Hawkin Play is the lead singer of the rock band, Bent. He has an identical twin brother, Hunter, who causes him nothing but troubles. The latest incident could lead Hunter to jail if Hawkin doesn't take the fall and pretend it was him. As part of looking good to the judge, Hawkins agrees to guest lecture at the local college. It's there that he meets his teaching assistant, Quinlan, or AKA Trixie. She's not looking to date even though she finds Hawkin sexy. Their initial banter is so fun. You can feel their chemistry.
Though this is their love story, it also deals with some darker issues with Hawkin's past with his father and currently his mother. He has an issue with trying to protect everyone he loves and that eventually includes Quinlan.
This is so emotional and quite steamy read. I've been reading this author's newer works and feel like they aren't as steamy as this book is. I am looking forward to Vince, Hawkin's best friend and fellow band member's story in Sweet Regret.

Ok, not going to lie, I didn't go into this book with very high hopes. I had only read Slow Burn (Driven #5) by Bromberg and I wasn't too impressed. But holy crap, by the end of the first chapter, I knew I was going to love this one.
Rock star Hawkin Play meets his match in Quinlan Westin and their romance just burns through the pages. Talk about hot! The chemistry between these two was just off the charts. From the moment they meet, when Hawkin finds out that Quin is his TA for a college class where he's a quest lecturer, there's instant spark. Quin seems immune to the charms of this known playboy and Hawkin is not used to being told no. After she turns him down once, Hawkin makes a bet with his fellow bandmate that he'll get Quin in bed before the semester is done.
I think it's important to make every moment count.
Hawkin is your typical rockstar - mostly. He loves his job, he loves women and he loves to party. But there's a darkness to him that comes in the form of his twin brother. Constantly trying to hold onto a promise he made his late father, Hawkin finds himself once again bailing his brother out. Only this time, it could end up costing him his career and freedom.
Quin is tired of picking the wrong man. While she doesn't mind the occasional hookup, she realizes that she wants more. Seeing her wayward brother finally settled has her wanting that. When she meets Hawkin, she knows he's not the one to settle with, but she's inexplicably drawn to him. She knows he's hiding something and it's something she thinks is worth sticking around for.
Aside from their chemistry just being off the charts, Bromberg spends time building up their friendship. You can see almost instantly why these two are drawn to each other and you can almost pinpoint the exact moment when Quin becomes more than a bet. While the sex scenes were very steamy, my favorite parts were seeing how seamlessly Quin fit in with Hawkin's bandmates. She just fit and his bands reactions to her were great.
This book was steamy, sweet, and humorous. There was also an underlying story about wanting to belong and the true meaning of family. If you're looking for a hot summer read, look no further. Sweet Ache is for you.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Sweet Ache was sweet and edgy and sexy and had me waiting to see what happened next.
Quinlan and Hawkin were amazing to follow. There chemistry and need for each other was addictive. I also loved reading names of characters I’ve known from other authors.
Thanks for another fantastic book that I’ll surely reread 🖤

I remember not liking, then liking Colton's sister Quinlan when we first met her in the earlier books in this series. But I really got to like her in this one. And then there was Hawkin Play. A rock star, and I do love a good rock star romance. Hawkin had some baggage he was pulling along, but something about Quinlan kept him interested and fighting for a chance. I loved his sweet tooth, and how it played into the story. I have to say that at times I felt Quinlan might have given in sooner than I would have, but yeah, that's probably why I'm still single. So many sexy parts in this one, parts that I was listening to before I had to go into work, and other times I didn't want to get out of the car to stop listening because of how things were going. Once again another great story from this author.

Well first point to make, Kellan bloody Kyle - just having him mentioned was enough for me to give this book at least 3 stars however, after finishing I’m happy to give it 4 stars.
Start with the good - oh don’t we all want a rock star to enter our lives and be swept off our feet?! What a dream and I’m glad Quin got her happy ending (and that it wasn’t with a racer!). I would love to read more about how Quin copes with the distance and the band tour however I don’t think there is any plans to write a sequel for Quin?
Now to the rockstar - Hawkin Play was very easy to like. The hot lead singer who hides his emotional kind side to the public. Only to open it up to Quin. See? Easy to like. And I did like him. But he didn’t measure to to Kellan (if I were to compare).
As for the unfortunate bad - Unfortunately the writing lost it for me. I loved the story plot but I felt the way it was written didn’t get me addicted. I would find myself zoning out while reading it and then picking up where I left off to realise I hadn’t missed much.
So overall, 4 stars.
