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.
