Same book as '[b:A Driven Hero|26141728|A Driven Hero (A Hero's Love Story, #1)|K.C. Falls|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1441897302s/26141728.jpg|46094448]'.

*Note#1: I had 'Surviving Me' on my GR shelf & in my kindle. When I opened it to read on my kindle it showed up on GR show more as 'A Driven Hero'. The books need to be merged on the author's GR page as one book & needs to be fixed on Amazon. See note 3 below.

Part 1 of a 3 part trilogy serial.
I liked it.

Review ⤵

The synopsis is a bit misleading & this story is better than what it portrays.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I truly enjoyed it. I don't normally care for serials but I will try to read the other 2 parts of this story in the near future.

I know for a lot of readers 150 or so pages is considered a short read. Well, this one is written so well and the pace is so perfect you will think you read a 50 page short. The characters are very interesting. The beginning truly setup Trina's life in such a way you connect with her very quickly.

It takes awhile for the hero to come in, but once he does the sparks are hot and the romance is sweet, sexy and steamy. They really connect, and you really like them both.

My problem was the angst brought in towards the end. Gotta have a reason to make a book 2 and probably a book 3. Really should just be a full novel of maybe 300 pages, but it's not. And while I don't like that, at least Ms. Falls gives us a HFN.
Hopefully the other books in this serial aren't ridiculously priced and I will be able to pick them up quickly.

*Note #2: My kindle notes & highlights show up under 'A Driven Hero'.

*Note #3: This book is listed on Amazon as 'Surviving Me', but when you open it on your kindle it changes to 'A Driven Hero' on GR. Yet, if you search for 'A Driven Hero' on Amazon 'Surviving Me' is what shows up. Very, VERY, confusing. This problem needs to be addressed by both sites. show less

Oh how I don't love a Rich, Hot, Domineering man! and too boot he has his eyes set on your everyday girl! At first I wasn't sure if Tristan was going to be a rich douchebag or not but turns out he's not but I think he could turn in a snap so I'm keeping my eye on him lol. He has swept in and became Raina's hero. Hot Steamy sex. Great ending but leaves you craving more since there are unanswered questions.

Quotes:

"Tristan King was the sexiest man I had ever been near and he was turning me on show more just by being."

"Very classy without being splashy."

"The man smelled better than any human being I'd ever smelled."

Finished Reading February 25, 2014

2.5 Stars
Slow paced
Various problems with this one.
Unnecessary cliffhanger. If so much unneeded and unwanted words that slowed the story down to a crawl hadn't been used, this could have easily been 1 book. Two at most.
I didn't understand the attraction to the H at all. He was an ass through most of the book. And not in an Alpha Man way. More like a spoiled playboy brat who would probably have MANY STD's.
Some editing errors.
Adult sex scenes, yes. show more Eventually.

I was curious about the next book but not enough to actually go there. So I did not continue with this series.
