In the harsh Northern Waste where human life is worth little, ice trucker Raina Bowen has learned to keep her eyes open and her knife close at hand. She's spent her life on the run, one step ahead of the megalomaniac who hunts her. All she wants is to stay out of trouble and haul her load of grain to Gladow Station—but trouble finds her in the form of a sexy stranger called Wizard. He has the trucking pass she needs, and she has to drag him out of a brawl with the very people she's trying to hide from in order to get it. She may have rescued him, but Raina's not foolish enough to see Wizard as anything close to helpless. He's hard and honed and full of secrets—secrets that may destroy them both.

As they race across the Waste, trying to outrun rival truckers, ice pirates, and the powerful man bent on their destruction, Raina's forced to admit that trouble's found her. And this time, there's nowhere left to run.

Critic reviews

"Edgy, steamy, action packed, and plotted with nail-biting tension." (Library Journal, starred review)

"Anyone looking for something different will find [Silver]'s steamy, sinewy universe great fun." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

"Eve [Silver] expertly fuses nonstop action and adventure; a cutting-edge, exceptionally inventive setting; and a terrific, take-charge, no-nonsense heroine in Driven, a fresh, fabulously fun futuristic romance." (John Charles, The Chicago Tribune)

This story follows Raina and Wizard, two very different people whose lives were shaped by a common enemy. They cross paths at first not realizing they share this enemy but in the battle to just survive they realize they must work together so they can both reach their goals. Wizard was such a unique and almost comical character.

When I selected this I did not realize that it was, what it was. I’m not a big fan of these type of stories. But this was engaging and I could be empathetic towards the characters. The romance between Raina and Wizard was unusual which is a plus in my book. I always love when there are two narrators. Mr. Grayson‘s performance was a little stiff but I think that was deliberate.

Futuristic, apocalyptic story

Ice Trucker Raina Bowen just wants to keep a low profile, be the first to deliver her load, collect her prize and get on with her life. It should have been simple. Then she met Wizard. Too bad Wizard doesn’t do simple. Driven is a futuristic thriller featuring a smart, sassy, kick a$$ heroine, a hero lacking in social graces, a cast of bawdy good guys, some evil not so good guys, rival truckers, and ice pirates! There is plenty of action, mystery, intrigue and oh yes delightful searing heat! The writing and narration are BRILLIANT! This story is set in the future, in a freezing, barren area of the planet. The writing is so clear, the narration so good, that I could both see AND understand the world the author created. The scene setting and dialogue, combined with the magnificent narration made me feel what the characters were feeling! The voicing and cadence used for the various characters really drove home certain aspects of the story. No spoilers, when you listen to the story, it will become very clear! It was stunning and really added authenticity to the overall feel of the story! My heart was in my throat as I got near the end, again no spoilers, but I had to really restrain myself from upping the speed to end my misery, I was THAT invested! I really loved this one! Five stars!

The perfect combination of brilliant writing and brilliant narration!

So this was an interesting listen. I got this book for free and chose to give my unbiased review.

Both the author and the narrator were new to me. I rarely listen to MF books anymore but this was a great palette cleanser.

I was engaged and it was suspenseful and I just really wanted to know how it would end.

Both narrators were good and I have no complaints.

All in all a great listen.

Hmm. Dystopian

Eve Silver wrote a sexy and exciting post-apocalyptic (waste) novel. Lillian Yves and Vincent Lee Grayson brought the story to life. Great job all around!

What a ride! Let's start with the things I loved:
Raina our FMC is a no-nonsense independent ice trucker
Wizard our mysterious MMC
Thrown together to make her delivery across treacherous land and bad guys after them. The two main characters have depth and chemistry and they made this book for me, especially Wizard ;)
What I love about books set in a post-apocalyptic world is that the possibilities are endless. This world had such a great premise, I want more, more, more. More worldbuilding and more details. That being said I think the next book will answer some of my questions.
If you want action, romance, and an interesting world to immerse yourself in, I recommend this audiobook.
I like Lillian Yves and Vincent Lee Grayson (narrators) but I had to listen at 1.25x as I found them a bit slow.

At first I was wondering what I was listening to but I keep going and so glad I did. Right when I thought I had the characters figured out a good ole twist came crashing my way lol. The romance in this book was def different because I kept picturing a robot but like no a human and I’m sure many others did to because of how Wizard started as just a number and beat all odds to feel emotion. Seeing how Raina felt about her family in the beginning then hearing some mind blowing info to make her way of thinking change along with my own was very intriguing. I will def be looking out for book 2 in this series to see what’s next on their journey.

I enjoyed this story. It starts out a little slow because the author has to set up the desolate wasteland of a setting. Though, it does pick up as the story goes on.
I thought the chemistry between Raina and Wizard was great and really enjoyed their scenes together. It was interesting having Raina be confused at why Wizard does what he does and how his thinking works.

I think the narrators did an excellent job! They really got into the characters (especially the male narrator, he got into the almost robotic voice of Wizard).

Interesting Futuristic Story

I think this is a decent book but at the beginning I almost noped out. The storyline keep me engaged but it took a moment to get into it. The characters were interesting, some were more so than others. There was ups and downs with the emotions. Narration was will done.
