I actually really liked this book, it was a refreshing change from the angsty drama filled romances that seem to be all the rage these days. I think that was a huge reason why I liked it. I thought it rather weird that a stranger asked another stranger to bring his keys across the world, and that stranger actually did. Wouldn't an assistant or something have been better? I liked how it wasn't insta love, but a gradual type thing with him. So many stories out there are full of insta loves, and drama and all sorts of unnecessary things. This was a great change of pace.
Chloe flies to Europe to return a USB drive?
Chloe Weaver drives a vehicle for a ride share company to make ends meet until her artwork and comic made enough to pay the bills when a customer dropped a USB drive in her vehicle on the way to the airport. The owner asked her to bring it to Europe because he needed it immediately and thankfully she had a passport and that is where the adventure starts for Chloe with the owner Logan Weiss.
Drive Me Wild by Mia Carter has taken a what if somebody dropped a USB drive in a ride share car and what could possibly happen with it and that is a start to a meet cute story where two strangers that probably never have meet in the normal course of their lives but I liked it.

Lust rather than Love 3.5*.
I loved the humour in this book, especially in the online chat between the H and h and with the three sisters but I was disappointed that safe sex wasn’t practised (pregnancy is not the only risk) and I didn’t understand why a stranger was tasked to bring the H his thumb drive rather than his assistant or an employee. Each chapter is told from alternate POV but whilst their individual insecurities came across well, I didn’t really feel any emotional connection between the two of them.

I couldn't put this book down! Chloe was a fun heroine who I could see myself in and Logan was a handsome, driven guy who was different than your typical romance novel CEO.
The writing was witty, sweet, and engaging. Logan and Chloe's banter was fun and I loved them together. They connected so well I would forget at times that they hadn't known each other long.
My husband also works in tech, although not the same exact field as Logan. However, I did appreciate that the tech portion/details felt authentic versus made up or thrown together. I have heard of the type of work Logan does and everything made sense without it being too detailed and confusing for a non-techie.
I am looking forward to reading more from Mia Carter!
Mia Carter is a new to me author, but I thought this story looked really cute so I wanted to try it. The plot of the book is kinda of interesting. A ride-share driver picks a guy up, he leaves something important and something compels her to check who it belongs to. Which then turns into her going to Helsinki to meet the guy. I want to say I really did love that her sisters were like, "um...hello he might kill you, how about you don't go?" They were good sisters, but Chloe didn't listen. Which is good because if she did we wouldn't have this story.
If you like Billionaire Romances, this one might be for you. I don't think I've ever read a book that was set in Finland, but I was kind of obsessed with the country back in high school because I really liked the band HIM, so I was kind of about it.
I liked that the romance was kind of a slow-burn and it took a bit for them to make the move on each other. It was torture reading from their perspectives and watching them fight their attraction for each other because they were scared the other didn't feel the same. I mean torture in the best way because when they finally get together it was great. Chloe talks a lot in the book about her insecurities about her body and not being what me want, and oh my god, did I relate this the woman so much.
This one does have it's fair amount of sexy times in it. I thought the sex scenes were done well, but I do have a one beef with it. TALK ABOUT CONTRACEPTIVE! This is something that I have been noticing in romance books that is annoying. A couple I have read where the couple doesn't have the talk about should they use a condom, is the woman on the pill,etc. It comes up later in the post-sex like "oh, it's fine, I'm on the pill" or "oh, I have an IUD." It makes me so mad! Consent is important and talking about birth control should be too. It wasn't a dealbreaker with this book, but I think it's something the genre as a whole needs to think about.
It was a little annoying with the break-up in this one because why Chloe breaks up is kind of an invasion of Logan's privacy. Like, rude, girl. Also she just doesn't even try to talk to him, she just runs away. UGH! This was more annoying to be that the birth control thing. In the end it was okay because this book does have a HEA. Thank the hockey gods for patient men, is all I have to say.

An ok read for me. It was cute. Another billionaire story.
I liked it , but I didn't love it.
Entertaining read. The story of Chloe and Logan. They meet when he uses the ride share she is driving for.
He leaves an important usb in the car, and convinces her to fly to Finland to bring it to him. The more time they spend together the closer they get, but Chloe's insecurities see her fleeing back home, so will they have a chance?
Looking forward to reading more from this author.
Sometimes a story just hits you [right where it counts] and this one definitely did it for me. I loved Chloe and Logan - both were so full of self-doubt and feelings of wanting something just out of their reach, like they didn't deserve the happiness that they craved. I just really didn't want the story to end so obviously I felt the author did a great job of developing the characters. I'm not sure that I've ever read a story set in Helsinki, Finland and I really enjoyed the descriptions of the city through an artists' eye.
I received a free Advanced Reader's Copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion and I will definitely look for more books written by Mia Carter!
Driving Me Wild by Mia Carter a five-star read that would drive you round the world. This was such a good story, its one that you do need to drop reality for, Billionaire in a rideshare…. But do you know what I didn’t care, it was sweet and funny and honest in a surreal manner, honest in an emotional sense. I am excited to find a new author and will be looking out for more in the future. There was a realness to Chloe, an honesty that took my breath away, the description of her and her comic was so clear that I could see Chloe and her comic strip in my mind, imagining I was in the tower awaiting my Knight in White Satin. Talking of Knights Logan Weiss is everything a knight should be and so much more, he has his hidden vulnerabilities, in more than just his software. This is an easy read, that you would be sorry to miss.
