*I received a free copy of Driven. This has in no way influenced my voluntary review which is honest and unbiased.*
Driven is the perfect culmination to the Deep Ops series! It had even more suspense than the prior books, and I have to say that the way the mystery unfolded left me surprised and satisfied at the same time. The sexual chemistry was also extremely strong, I could feel it while reading it.
The plot was very well executed, and I loved the writing. The character development (from the start of the first book up until now) was so well done, and I have to say that I enjoyed the growth of the characters as much as I enjoyed the story, the plot and the mystery parts.

Whoa...what a book! Fourth in the series but can be read as a stand alone. I love the cover but the blurb cinched it. Action filled and the heat between Angus and Nari is nuclear!
What did I like? It took me until about twenty percent in to really become engrossed. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s the fourth in a series because this was the first I’d read. Still once it caught, it was a gripping thriller! Kept me guessing until the end! I’d definitely read more by this author!
Would I recommend or buy? I’d definitely read the whole series! Put them on a TBR pile! I seem to really be reading thrillers lately. This is my fourth one this week! Unputdownable! Five huge stars! For anyone loving a good thriller!

Pretty good! I do wish the big reveal would have lasted longer with more clues given as we went along. It all got wrapped up really fast and without warning. I kind of like reading about them figuring things out as they move along. It was all "we are missing something" up until the grand finale. The romance part was good without taking over the entire storyline. The other members of the team were interesting too.

As a conclusion to the arc from the other 3 books in this series, this was very enjoyable. Quite truthfully I hope Ms Zanetti writes more in this series, this book in particular was gripping and kept me up way past my bedtime because I didn't want to put it down.

There's always a risk when a pairing is teased for three books, but fortunately Angus and Nari lived up to the hype. They were surprisingly sweet together, given the antagonistic start to their relationship, and I even forgave the glossing over Angus's rampant alcoholism, because true love solves everything, right?
The serial killer storyline was so creepy, and I was genuinely surprised by the ending. My one gripe is that there was a bit of a lax attitude to safety - I was fully expecting poor Selena would get murdered, as she's barely mentioned, despite being a target. I'm also sad that there wasn't more of a tease of her and Jethro, I would have thought that her being a target of a merciless killer would have brought out his protective alpha instincts, but nah. You deserve better, Selena.
I really enjoyed the continuing focus on found family, the Deep Ops bunch are just a loveable bunch of oddballs. The fact that they are all moving to the same cul de sac whilst working together is perhaps a bit much in real life, but in fiction? Go for it. Who wouldn't want to be nearby for Pippa's baking and Wolfe's quips.
I'm hopeful there will be more of this series to come, definitely my favourite by this author to date.

Driven is the 4th book in the Deep Ops series, and this installment was such a fun one here. I absolutely loved it so much. I was so fascinated to see what Rebecca Zanetti would deliver with this one here. I really found that this might be one of my favorites of the series actually. Now I physically read this on my kindle, but I listened to the previous installments, so I do think that her books are best physically read if I am being honest.
Now this story was SO much different than I was expecting. Within this story we get the leader of the group and his story with the therapist. Now what is different about this one is that they will be fighting not only the one that they have been hunting, and the one that has been alluding them but also will have to face up to the government agency who is trying to destroy them and split them apart and put the blame on Angus.
I just loved all the factors that went into this story and the way in which we see how this team really has to learn to rely on each other when its get worse than anything they have ever faced until now. I just couldn't get enough of seeing everything that comes together on this one. I would say that this is borderline romantic suspense with romantic thriller, because while there is definitely a romance present, its not the focus of the story. But I did love seeing the way in which our couple: Angus and Nari really come together in this one here.
Overall I found Driven to be such a stunning read and I can't wait for the next one!
