Off the Grid (Full Throttle #1) by K. Bromberg

“Victory is sweet.”


I’m sure if you know K. Bromberg’s name, you’ll most likely to know her for the incredible creation that is Colton Donovan. Her Driven series is the only racing books I have ever read, so when I saw she was releasing a new series in the motor-racing world, I knew I had to read it.

This one started off slowly for me (I’m not entirely sure if it’s just because of the kinds of books I’ve been reading though) I liked it, but I didn’t love it. But I knew Kristy would deliver and she absolutely did!

I really liked Camila—she’s funny, feisty and strong (even if she doesn’t think so at times) I adored her relationship with Elise. more than with her other girlfriends actually, and of course, I adored the relationship with her dad too. She really goes from strength to strength in this story and it’s such a great arc.


Now, what can I say about Riggs? I truly feel like he’s one of my favourites, one I’ll remember and read again. He’s delightfully cheeky, charming and so damn sexy. His compassion and kindness is wonderful and made me fall for him harder. I adored his sense of humour, it was absolutely my kind of humour. His journey is another emotional one with a lot of growth and I adored reading it.



I really like that the supporting characters didn’t overload the story. It really was about Camila and Riggs which I absolutely think it should be. I love stories where the couple are front and centre—it’s their story, I need them to be the plot, not the supporting characters. At 94% something happened and sealed the deal for me. I was absolutely in love with these characters, everything slotted into place and I gave it a big piece of my heart and it was well deserved I tell you.


I actually feel like this story could have been more than one book, there was enough in their story, BUT I’m really excited to see where Kristy takes this series. She’s incredible at writing books set in the motor-racing world and this one is no different.

As with all K Bromberg’s books, and despite it being a slow starter for me, I ended up loving it and often found myself chucking. That’s one of my favourite parts about her writing—she writes funny so incredibly well and I adore that. There needs to be more genuinely funny things in books.


This is a sexy, emotional and funny story that will give you all the feels and then some and it earned its rightful place on my book shelf.

I leave you with a quote— which for me—were one of the most memorable parts of Riggs and Camila …


I’m giving Off the Grid 4 stars.

*I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for this review and my review is 100% honest and true.

Driven (book one) by K. Bromberg

  You know when you discover something so fantastic you wish you'd known about it your whole life? This is one of those books. I discovered K.Bromberg early into her writing career and haven’t looked back since.   At first when I started reading I thought I knew what kind of book this was going to be. You meet Rylee and you learn pretty quickly she’s a force to be reckoned with. She’s fierce brave and strong and I love that. You get introduced to Colton very early and he appears to be like so many other alpha males in romance books. Oh, how wrong I was. As the story unfolds, you realise that for all his bluster and dirty talk, Colton is a damaged and deeply feeling guy who doesn’t know how to let anyone in. Their chemistry is insane and the push-pull of their relationship will have you longing for more. It’s a deeply emotional story and one that I have read a number of times and fall more in love with each time I read it. It is without a doubt one of the best trilogies out th...

Gabriel's Inferno (Gabriel's Inferno #1) by Sylvain Reynard

“If I have a soul, it's yours.” This is another re-read for me and one that I have absolutely loved. My love for The Professor started way back in 2013 when I read Gabriel’s Inferno for the first time, I’ve reread him many times since then, but as has happened with a lot of my rereads recently, I’ve rediscovered just how much I love them and have found I appreciate them on a much deeper level—perhaps it’s age? Perhaps it’s therapy? I don’t know but I adore it. It’s like discovering them for the first time again in a lot of ways and truly feels like a gift. There are so many reasons I love this series and it’s going to be really difficult to sufficiently put into words just how much this book means to me. You see, when a series has been with you through a really difficult time, for me anyway, it attaches itself to your soul. It becomes a part of you and this series is most definitely a part of me. Gabriel has, since the first time I met him, been one of my top five (possibly top t...

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by JK Rowling

As a ten year old girl in desperate need of escape, I first discovered the world of Harry Potter.   At the time, it was to my ten year old brain, exciting and very much a world I wanted to be a part of. It was packed full of everything I craved—friends, mischief and magic. As an adult, it’s remained   that but with a much more complex understanding of what all those things mean. When we meet Harry he doesn’t have a place. He’s bullied by his cousin, ignored by his aunt and uncle and desperate for someone to see him, to really see him and to listen. When strange letters begin to arrive his world gets turned upside down and finally, after a giant of a man named Hagrid, tells him he's a wizard, his life begins to fall into place. He heads off to Hogwarts and embarks on a journey of not only magical discovery, but a personal one too. There is layer upon layer of heartbreaking discovery for Harry. He learns not only about this new, exciting world but he also learns about himself an...
