ABOUT THE BOOK
When Piper walks in on her boyfriend with another woman, she ends up alone, walking the highway leading into Fort McKay in Northern Alberta. Piper realizes how much she’s sacrificed for this relationship—her friends, her lifestyle, and most importantly, her career as a chef—and she determines to leave this small town behind and reclaim her independence. But when a semi-truck pulls up behind her and lurches to a stop, she fears her night is about to get worse.
Desperate for some respite from his gossip-worthy life, tech millionaire Brandon takes up long-haul trucking after a messy divorce. While driving into Fort McKay, he sees a woman walking on the side of the highway. Trying to be a gentleman, he pulls over and tries to offer her a ride. She refuses—yet the look in her eyes makes him feel protective of her at first sight. When Piper and Brandon have a chance encounter the next day, the chemistry between them is undeniable. Neither is looking for love, but they end up spending a hot afternoon together. Brandon’s awaiting business in Edmonton and Piper’s newly-single mindset allow both to say goodbye quickly and get on with their lives. But wildfires raging in the area force Brandon to stay in Fort McKay, leading to a smouldering week with Piper. Despite Piper’s reluctance to depend on another man and Brandon’s determination not to fall in love, they both start to realize how incredible they are together. Piper opens up in ways she never knew possible, and Brandon remembers how it feels to love someone. As the wildfires rage closer, evacuation orders pressure the lovers to decide on their future. Piper’s friend Danielle knows these two are falling in love and implores Piper to take a leap in this passionate relationship. But Piper has to make her own decision: Will she keep her promise to reclaim her independence, or will she follow Brandon back to his life in Edmonton?

REVIEWS
Making great life choices is a skill Piper Crawley feels she is greatly lacking. Finally dumping Chad and eventually getting out Fort McKay is a step in the right direction, but she knows it is only the beginning.
Driving a big rig in Northern Alberta is Brandon’s own personal therapy. After a nasty divorce and the ensuing loss of his half of their cyber security business, Brandon took to the road to recharge.
Leaving Chad feels like a weight off Piper’s shoulders, so getting involved with another man is probably the last thing she needs. Casual flings are not really her style, but with Brandon only passing through it could be a nice diversion. Optimistic by nature, Brandon is certain he has found something special with Piper. Surely it is only a matter of choosing the right time and the right words to get her to agree…right?
Piper and Brandon have an immediate connection, and it is easy to slip into the groove of their story. The threatening wild-fire helps to build a sense of urgency and intensity, which I feel totally fits with Piper and Brandon’s relationship. As the fires draw near it becomes evident some very hard choices are imminent.

First of all, this is Eden Rayna's debut novel and I have to say I am very impressed.
I very much loved that fact that that it takes place in Canada and that Eden is Canadian. I don't read so many books that take place in Canada so it was nice to be able to read something that takes place in my Country.
This erotic story is a very good one that I have already recommended to some friends and I do recommend to you all who love erotic romance. This book was one I could not put down because the story was so addicting. Such a very well written story. I will be reading this one again in the future.

Driven By Fire is a debut novel by Canadian writer Eden Rayna. I was asked if I would be interested in reading it for an honest review. I love discovering new, up and coming authors so I jumped at the chance.
Brandon and Piper’s characters were likable and well developed. It was a very realistic read and followed both their lives from the moment they met. It was quite a long read but very detailed.
I look forward to seeing Eden’s writing as she explores and develops her craft as she gets a few more books out in the world. Good job hun!

This is my first book by Eden Rayna and what a fantastic debut novel it is.
This book is an erotic romance novel featuring Piper and Brandon. It follows their love story and the choices they make whilst being evacuated during a wildfire.
Driven by fire has some great characters and I loved the relationship between Piper and her best friend Danielle. There are lots of obstacles in the way of Piper and Brandon being together so you will have to read this book to see if they can overcome everything to get their happily ever after.
