When desire gets this hot, you'd better buckle up... Mary Daniels doesn't let anything get in the way of her job acquiring rare artifacts for her wealthy boss. But this particular obstacle—huge, hard-muscled, unashamedly masculine—is impossible to ignore. Stuck in a cramped car with Brodie Crews for hours en route to their new assignment, Mary feels her carefully crafted persona—and her trademark self-control—is slipping, and she won't allow it. Brodie can't imagine what secret in Mary's past has left her so buttoned-up, though he'd dearly love to find out. Maybe then she'd trust him enough to explore their explosive chemistry. But he needs this job, so he'll play by her rules and bide his time...until an enemy determined to outwit them strikes and he needs to get close—in every way—to protect her. Otherwise, they could lose much more than a precious collectible. They could lose it all.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

**I received a free kindle copy from the publisher Harlequin - Romance (U.S & Canada) via NetGalley in exchange for a review 

I started listening to Driven to Distraction the day I had dental surgery. I had 4 teeth extracted and I loved the banter between Brodie and Mary. She is a red-headed curvy broad who contracts Brodie to be the driver on a mission to recover some priceless artifact. Lori Foster's assessment of who and what Brodie looks like is pointedly correct. Let me just quote her about Brodie:
"He's a man who can swing a punch as hard as he can steal a heart, loves his family without question, does his utmost to understand women (especially the heroine) and never takes injustice lightly. He's also deliciously flawed, rugged in a most basic (very sexy) way, and he has this big-boned, slobbery, crazy-lazy dog that he rescued."

The characters were well defined and the plot was well done. The sex was also attractive and tasteful because Mary and Brodie fit together perfectly and I adored them.
