Before starting DRIVE IT DEEP, readers should know that this is a prequel novella between Miah and Raina. Now if you are a follower of the series, then you may already know what Raina already has a book and therefore, she has her HEA already. That being said, DRIVE IT DEEP does not have a HEA because Miah and Raina have broken up and this story actually occurs two years prior to the series.

Because I didn't know that going into the story, I was very confused and wondered if I missed something in the previous book. So as a little disclaimer, this book is not actually 2.5 in the series but a prequel or a story that occurs before all the others.

Now that that is out of the way, let me talk more about Miah and Raina. These two have known each other for a very long time. Having grown up together, Miah has always liked Raina but it isn't until now that he is acting upon it. Ever since their drunken kiss as kids, Miah wonders if they have a natural spark. As other events occur, Miah and Raina's relationship flares up quite quickly and at the same time, it burns out just as fast. I quite liked their romance. They have great chemistry but given the events that occurred, it just never stuck and I'm a little sad about it. However, despite not having a HEA I do believe this story is worth the read if only to get to know Miah better. I'm hoping he gets another chance at love because I truly enjoyed his character.

Apart from confusing me with the timeline and the no HEA, I still really enjoyed DRIVE IT DEEP. Sensual and alluring, Cara McKenna's writing will always spellbind readers no matter who she writes about.

SUMMARY

The author of Give It All and Lay It Down reveals how it all started in this prequel novella to the Desert Dog series...

Jeremiah Church and Raina Harper have been close since they were kids, back when life was all about hot Nevada summers spent running wild on the backs of their motorcycles with their friends. Now in their thirties, their lives are changing, and so is the way Miah looks at Raina—a sizzling tension has begun to smolder, impossible to ignore.

Miah is a man of simple pleasures—after a long day overseeing his family’s cattle ranch, a cool drink in his hand and a barstool under his backside are all he needs. Except lately, Miah’s begun looking at his bartender differently. Raina is Miah’s polar opposite—she’s as hot-headed as he is self- possessed, as wild as he is steady. And though they’re a recipe for disaster, the mutual attraction brewing between them is too tempting to deny.

But when bottled-up desires hit this hard, this fast, after so long, the results are positively explosive. And while the affair is hot enough set the badlands on fire, when the flames burn out, will their lifelong friendship survive, or go up in smoke?
