Hi!
I picked up this book because it was the BOM for the Goodreads SFR section and I needed to read more SFR for the challenge anyway.
This story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world of global climate change and fledgling genetic manipulation. The heroine, Raina, is a truck driver on a trans-world highway. Think Ice Truckers meets Road Warrior meets Dark Angel and you get the gist of the main elements of this story. There's romance of a sort, mild sex, and character growth. There's action, interesting secondary characters, and a heroine who saves herself.
On the downside I found the first half repetitive in respect to the heroine's isssues and I never really warmed up to the hero who spent the first half of the book as warm as an ice cube--but there were reasons for these issues, and they were resolved/explained later in the book.
The bad guy is really awful, if a bit two-dimensional. He was definitely creepy.
The ending is pretty good with lots of action and a happy for now.
Overall I think Driven was good enough for me to try more of Ms. Kenin's stories. She has potential in the SFR realm.
