Down Shift

Nice development of characters. They were people you could like and respect. Not sure I’ll read more in the series because I enjoyed these characters so much.

This couple who had to be roommates first were ignited in their “getting to know you” phase. I loved this story; both broken people who find peace and healing in each other.❤️

Started a little slow... then it flew by and I was so sad when it was over! Absolutely loved Zander... his heart was literally cut open and poured onto the pages throughout this story... the writer has such an amazing gift in creating moments in which I found tears falling from my eyes and laughter from my lips at the same time.... love, life challenges, forgiving yourself, allowing yourself to love and trust again, “just jump,” don’t forget to laugh, grand gestures, live fiercely, apologize, right the wrongs... and don’t live in regret of allowing yourself to love ... #worththeread

I loved this story! ❤️

My favorite author has done it again! This story will hook you from the beginning. I couldn’t put it down.

Zander, Zander, Zander.... became the man I hoped that little boy would grow up to be and more... Getty, such a brave and courageous woman, perfect in so many ways for Zander. What a story, filled with emotions, baggage and hope. Highly recommend reading this! Just Jump in and start reading!

Wow! When I read this book I didn't expect for it to be so emotional but it really was. Zander Donavan is the adopted son of Rylee and Colton Donavan and now he's all grown up! Zander is a race car driver just like his dad and is currently at the top of the standings. Too bad the life Zander is leading is getting in the way along with the guilt he has been carrying around for years. After a confrontation with Colton, which leads to being fired, Zander decides he needs to be on his own to sort some things out and takes off without telling anyone where he is going. Zander heads to Smitty's beach house to spend some time alone to deal with all his stuff. Imagine his surprise when a cute female comes walking in on him as he is just getting out of the shower. She is also buck naked! This scene was priceless! Anytime I see a mini-blind wand from now on I'll be laughing! Zander calls Smitty and realized that Smitty and his wife, Darcy both told different people they could stay there. Darcy won't be home for a few days so Zander will just have to deal with the situation. Enter Getty Caster. Getty has been staying at this house for the past 3 months after running from an abusive marriage. Getty came from a wealthy family but was tired of being told what she was allowed and not allowed to do. Zander and Getty both have things from their past that they are hiding from each other. I loved how these two decided to live in the same place and how they slowly broke down the other's walls. As Zander and Getty go through their journey to get over their pasts, they develop quite a friendship, which eventually leads to more. Both of these characters are so strong, yet so flawed because of their pasts but together they manage to move forward. I just adored the happy ending...it was perfect. Overall, this was a wonderful, emotional story with such great, developed characters. If you are an easy crier, keep the tissues close!

What a story! I loved Zander when he was a broken little boy in the Driven series. And I love him even more as a broken man. He and Getty are perfectly written. Their banter, fighting, and support for one another left me speechless. I felt every emotion that Kristy wrote in this book. The story left me whirling. Another great spin-off book. Kristy, your writing is truly beautiful.

I love Zander and Getty's story!! This book hit the feels! Just like all the other Driven series that I've read this past week, this one is by far my favorite. K. Bromberg did a great job with this book. Loved it!

I just finished reading Down Shift and all that immediately comes to mind is "WOW"!! Kristy has a way of pulling me in from the first few words and keeping me captivated until the very end, and then wanting more. Zander and Getty's amazing journey had me laughing, crying, tied up in knots and completely falling in love with them! I just don't have the proper words to describe how many feelings this book evoked in me. After I let all the feelings soak in I am going to do a re-read! It is just that good!! What an amazing ending to the Driven journey, Kristy!!
