Handle With Care is the first book in the Chase Care Series by R.L Dunn. It’s a bit of a spin-off from the Chase Security series and is every bit as good as I had hoped it would be. A full-on, action-packed medical/romantic suspense- with danger, mystery, suspense, violence, thrills, agendas, secrets, intrigue, chemistry, sizzle, ….. and soooo much more. I really enjoyed this book as Ms. Dunn wove a complex plot that had me intrigued from the outset. This is a multi-layered story full of clever interconnected details which gives it an unpredictable quality that kept me guessing the whole way through. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Bring on Book #2! Happy Reading…

I so loved this book, it was filled with drama, self preservation, danger, undeniable attraction and explained secrets.
Stone is treated like the black sheep of the family because of his loyalty to Dom and his being irresponsible. When he is called back home to help Dom legally, he is forced into dangerous situations.
Nora, as we know, is Danika’s sister and is working at The Hawkeye Club. We still don’t know why Nora left med school and she isn’t about to tell anyone soon. When Nora finds out at a Hawke family dinner that Stone is the one watching her from afar, she tells herself the attraction she has for him will never work.

And an incredible night on the beach that would alter their lives forever.
After a one-night stand with a handsome stranger, Marley Halligan has accepted her life for what it is – a hot mess. Working as an event planner in New York City and being a single mother to her twins, Marley’s life was chaotic enough. She never imagined that she’d run into the father of her children in the small town of Quimby Grove, Pennsylvania.
Max Quinn had been determined to find the gorgeous blond that captured his attention on the beach all those years ago. She was sassy, beautiful, and lit something within him. He knew that she was the one. The only problem was, he didn’t know anything about her – not even her name. But everything changes whenever he spots her from across the room at his best friend’s wedding. Determined to get her to stay in town, he will do anything for another shot with the one that got away.
As if navigating parenthood together wasn’t difficult enough, an unusual string of crimes are committed in Quimby Grove, each worse than the one before it, with Marley landing smack dab in the middle of them all.
Will Marley and Max be able to reignite their spark and solidify their family roots before the town’s tragedies tear them apart? Or are they destined to go their separate ways?

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. I felt like I was getting more than one story in this book. Since I work in a hospital it was fun reading about this couple. These two had a great connection and learning about their pasts helped get to know them better. It was great seeing secondary characters from another series. I had some LOL moments along with being on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.

Dunn – Review by Michelle Austin
Charles, Jordan and Alex have a yearly tradition of spending month on beach every year where they can be the party playboys they want to be. However, this year is different because Charles has 4-month-old baby with him. His stepsister, through a series of unfortunate events, is hired as his nanny.
Stella wants nothing more than to make her dream come true to become a fashion designer. She just needs to make it through to the month so she can get the financial backing she needs. However, the three men at the house are very tempting. She soon finds herself in bed with Jordan and Alex, hoping Charles will want to join. But…there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that quite problematic. Can they make things work? Or will Stella be leaving after the month is over?
I really enjoyed these characters. I like how Stella believes in herself and is comfortable enough in her own skin to stand her ground when others are out to tear her down. She was going to chase her dream while maintaining her dignity. There were some hot scenes that had me fanning myself. I liked how the characters from other stories made cameos in this book. A fun and sexy read!

Operation Blackbird is the second book of the Brass Compass series by Ellen Butler. The reader is teleported straight back in time to 1952 with Mirriam as the female lead character whose mission is to help a scientist defect from communist Russia. Unfortunately, things go sideways, and she must find a way to save the family. I was fully immersed in the book from the beginning and could not put it down. I have never read a book that had me on the edge of my seat like Operation Blackbird. If you know someone who loves a thrilling spy book, this is the perfect read for them!

How have I never read a book by Gwyn McNamee until now? Let me just tell you this author is a master at filling her stories with strong, interesting characters along with tantalizing writing that packs an emotional punch and keeps you drawn into the story until the final page. I’m so excited I found this wonderful compilation of all six stories in the Hawke Family Series. You might think six stories is a long read, but as each one brings something completely different, then the next you will be forever engrossed in the lives of these characters. Though this series can be read as standalone books, I recommend reading them together, as some previous characters will make cameos in other books while other characters will even play major parts in their family and friends’ lives, helping us get backstory and connecting them all together nicely.
This complete collection of all six stories in The Hawke Family series includes:
-Savage Collision (Book #1) Danika & Savage’s story
-Tortured Skye (Book #2) Gabe & Skye’s story
-Stone Sober (Book #3) Stone & Nora’s story
-Building Storm (Book #4) Storm & Landon’s story
-Tainted Saint (Book #5) Caroline & Saint’s story
-Steele Resolve (Book #6) Luca & Byron’s story
The Hawke family have a lot going on in their lives which is to be expected as they hail from the never-sleeping city of New Orleans. These siblings and friends face challenges most wouldn’t dream of, especially having to deal with the mob, club dancers, and their own personal conflicts. I love how they cone together for each other no what they are facing and dealing with in their lives.
While I loved all the stories in this series Savage Collision (Book #1) Danika & Savage’s story was definitely my favorite by far. I love that Dani is a strong / confident woman who isn’t afraid of Savage and his need to control pretty much everything. It was nice to see Savage’s vulnerability with his heartbreaking story and how he developed from it. I would love to go into detail about each of these amazing books, but we would definitely be here all day, and I know I would give away too many spoilers. So I’ll just say pick up this series and watch these characters grow and face challenges as they experience passion, love, and hard choices in their lives. Before you start reading, though you want to find a comfy chair, because if your like me you won’t come up for air until several hours later, these stories are just that good and addictive.

This is a new author for me, and I’m wondering where I have been! I’ve been missing out on some great stories. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to read this collection. It was amazing! This author has a new fan. This collection was filled with so many emotions, and I felt everyone of them. I never wanted to put these books down, I lost many hours of sleep reading and I don’t regret a moment of it. I cannot wait to see what is in the future for this author and looking forward to going back and reading past books. Don’t miss out on this collection, be mischievous, stay up all night, read all the books. You’ll be hooked! Highly Recommend!
Where do I even start? This ebook contains the entire series of the Hawke family escapades: Savage Collision, Tortured Skye, Stone Sober, Building Storm, Tainted Saint, and Steele Resolve. Definitely a series you will want to take your time savoring!
The family is based out of New Orleans. So as you can imagine there is a ton going on for them. Between the entire family, Gwyn really develops each character line in such a splendid way you will not want to miss out (or close your book.) Their adventures include the family business, storms, interfamilial troubles, and of course plenty of dancing. But don’t take my word for it. Pick up either the entire collection, or one of the stories and sink your teeth in. You won’t be able to let it go!

We follow Sully through his journey as a demon hunter. He meets Mick and agrees to help her find her friend. Through his search he finds out things about himself that were hidden. His chemistry with Mick is very natural and fluid. Lots of action!!!! All in all this was a great read. If your a fan of the supernatural I think you should give it a try.

All I have to say to this series is OMG! I absolutely loved it! McNamee has a way of captivating her readers from the beginning to the very end. Each of the 6 book series involve themes of steamy romance, family relationships and connections, the Italian Mob, suspense and much more. In the past, I’ve shied away from books dealing with mob or mafia but after reading this book and enjoying McNamee’s stories has really changed my perspective. For those readers intrigued or curious about this series, there are some great revelations throughout that keep the readers glued to the book till the end.

The Hawke Family complete collection by Gwyn McNamee is a six book series all wrapped into one. I was really excited to read this series as I had heard such good things and it did not disappoint. Overall, I am completely blown away at how great these books are. There are so many surprises and so much action and the perfect amount of spicy moments. I cannot wait to read more from this author. Savage Collision – Being book one in this series was truly an awesome book. The story follows Savage and Danika and their crazy whirlwind romance. The pair do not get off on the right foot but neither can deny the underlying attraction between them. Savage Hawke is the owner of several bars, restaurants and also, a gentleman’s club. Danika finds out her baby sister is now working there and comes to give him you know what for employing her sweet little sis. Each of them have their own secrets and it’s possible the will wreck what they’ve both come to work for. I really liked Savage, Dani made me angry a few times but overall this was a solid start to the series! Tortured Skye – Book two follows Skye and Gabe. I have to admit, I was so extremely happy to see Gabe and get the know the hardened man. The bonus member of the Hawke family thanks to his best friend, Savage, Gabe has been crushing on Skye for quite some time. But because of her being his best friends sister, he has stayed away from her. He’s not trying to risk the only family that’s ever cared for him. Throughout the years, Gabe has been someone Skye can lean on. Someone who’s given her advice and understood her. But after sharing a steamy moment, she cannot get him out of her head. Each of them have been through more pain and suffering than one should have to go through and have been handling it in their own way. Will they be the thing that the other needs most? Stone Sober – Book three in this series follows Stone and Nora. We first meet Nora in book one as she is Danika’s sister. Which means she works for Stones brother as a dancer in the club. Nora is just trying to figure out what she truly wants in life. After leaving medical school, she found a job at the club and though she is a spicy dancer, she is one of the most innocent people ever. Stone on the other hand is pretty much the bad boy that you’ve been warned about. Though incredibly handsome, this lawyer is mixed up in some stuff. Phew the amount of action and suspense in this book was crazy. It was so steamy that I was reading it so fast. This book was definitely one that caught me off guard with the emotions I felt. Building Storm – Book four follows the relationship between Storm and Landon. Storm is broken, she has lost everything and has to navigate her life with her daughter. If it weren’t for her family she would have nothing. Landon has dealt with his own troubles. He isn’t quite sure what healing he needs to do but with Storm, it just happens. This book is full of so much pain and so many tears, it just breaks your heart. But it’s also full of so much strength, love and growth. It is incredibly how two people can heal one another and find the inner peace that they each need. Tainted Saint – Saint and Caroline are coming in to play in book five. This is a fast read but still a great read. As the bouncer for the Hawkeye club, Saint comes off as one scary dude. He just wants to protect Caroline when she starts some sort of dangerous investigation. This novella was a great addition to the Hawke family. The pair were incredibly hot together. They had some amazing spicy moments. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. Steele Resolve – Byron and Luca’s story brings the Hawke family series to an end. Another novella in the series, it brings so many of the other stories together. The passion between the two of them was so beautiful. The only problem is that they are supposed to be enemies. Luca’s family has tried to destroy the Hawkes but the two of them cannot stay apart. What a great wrap to the series.

The Hawke Family Collection is amazing! Every story has different characters that are each dealing with their own issues and have to figure out how to resolve them. This author knows exactly how to reel you in with the perfect amount of steamy hot sexy scenes, fun banter between the character an emotional connections. These are definitely a must read!

First off wow! This series is such a page turner I cannot rave about it enough. Gwyn has become a new favorite author. Each book in the series focuses on different people. So you get a different point of view with each one. There is plenty of steam, excitement, romance and drama to keep you reading. I highly recommend this series.
Savage collision features Savage Hawke and Danika Eriksson. The good girl and the bad boy. Their chemistry is on fire from their first encounter.
Tortured Skye features Skye Hawke and Gabe Anderson all I will say is the phrase “forbidden love”
******** Stone Sober features Stone Hawke and Nora Eriksson although Nora works at the club, she’s still has such an innocent take on the world.
Building Storm is my favorite installment. This one features Storm Hawke and Landon McCabe. It’s full of grief, healing, romance, steam, and the unexpected.

Tainted Saint is interesting because it’s the first story where a Hawke isn’t the center of it. Instead we focus on Solomon Clarke aka Saint a bouncer that works at the Hawkeye Club, and Caroline Brooks. This one is probably my second favorite!
Steele Resolve is the last installment in this series. It features Luca “Steele” Abello and Byron Harris. They shouldn’t be together but they cannot help themselves. If the others find out about it it can cost them their lives and hurt their loved ones.

Oh, what can I tell you about Savage Collision which is book 1 in this collection?! I can tell you that there are secrets and information being withheld for the purest of reasons. I can tell you this story will break your heart just a little and very nicely put it back together again. I can tell you this author can write a really good story! This story had me laughing, crying, and even panting! These two are super-hot together, but as with all good things, this too will end, right? With the secrets they each hide and the danger lurking around, can Danika and Savage really be it for each other? I, for one, have always said communication is the key to everything, this author has proven me wrong with this story. Some things really are on a need-to-know basis. I love being wrong, this time.
Book 2 in this collection is Tortured Skye and is about Savage’s little sister Skye, and Savage’s best friend Gabe. And even though Skye is all grown up, Savage is still an overprotective big brother. Gabe is Savage’s best friend, actually raised more like brothers. Skye and Gabe should be off limits to each other but you really can’t help who you lust after…or is it really love? Skye is determined to have Gabe. She’s loved him for as long as she can remember, even when he only thought of her as a little sister. Gabe is determined to hide his feelings for Skye. He feels like he will just drag her down with his war time nightmares, crazy father and with her being like a little sister to him. But hang on to your hats, there’s a hurricane a-coming! Not only the hurricane of feelings but the actual weather system itself. When things seem to go wrong what can make it right again? How about a little sex?!? The sex between these two is super-hot, which seems to be the way with the Hawke family. But they also ground each other, making everything feel right. And then there’s a little more unexpected crazy thrown in and maybe being together isn’t so bad. But then there’s Savage. His name is Savage for a reason!
Book one is Savage Collision. Book two is Tortured Skye. Book 3 is Stone Sober. This is my favorite story line so far but I am still #TeamSavage! I really loved this story and I still love the Hawke family! This book was easy to read with lines and thoughts as simple as: “Maybe in another world, another life, another time, things could be different.” Sounds like the same old story but this author is able to kick it up more than just a notch, she kicks it in high gear. This story is hot! Exciting! And oh my! those “large black lacquered wardrobes” and all the things they held inside! No wonder Nora was feeling a little confused.
Then comes Building Storm which is book 4. Storm is Savage’s other sister. And this is her story. Storm is suffering one of the biggest losses a person can suffer. How can she continue being a mom, a sister, even alive at all. What could possibly make breathing easier? Is mindless sex really the answer? Well, it couldn’t hurt to try. Enter Landon. At a sex party no less. Their eyes meet across a crowded room…well yeah that happened. But this connection is so much more. They both feel it but the timing is all wrong. Can these two overcome their pasts to enjoy their present and build a future, either alone or together? Another story by this author that is oh so hot, not safe for work and must be read in order.
This author’s stories never fail when it comes to making the characters ache and yearn for each other. Her stories never fail at making the reader sigh or want to continue reading. I love how these main characters, Caroline and Saint, have been watching each other, both thinking the other is out of their league and unattainable. I love when they finally realize their feelings. But of course, their story isn’t just as simple as that. There has to be a “bad guy” who tries to mess everything up.
The last story in this series is Steele Resolve. This story, in fact I think this whole series, proves my point of you can’t help who you love and I love that. In the stories that I read and in real life. Byron is part of the Hawke family, they trust him, they love him. Luca aka Steele not so much. When these two get together the pages sizzle and burn!! Wow! Trust and love are two key elements for happiness. But throw in a little bad blood and some misunderstandings and you have yourself a pretty good story!
The Hawke Family collection is one collection you do not want to miss! And to think there is a second generation on its way!!
Suspense, gripping, emotional roller coaster of a story. This is the first book of a new series plus this is also a new author to me.
Hunter and Selma are both doctors and totally in love….and the care they have for not only their patients but for each other really tug at my heart. Both Hunter and Selma have had trauma with past relationships and have to jump that hurdle to have love for each other. When Selma volunteers to travel to another county to help less fortunate patients at a refugee camp in another country…Hunter feels like Selma is running away. What is she running from? When a deadly outbreak of a virus is added to the mix….will Hunter be able to save Selma and her patients before it is to late?
This story had me at the edge of my seat….secrets, deadly viruses and also something more sinister and lurking behind the shadows personally against Hunter and Selma. Will they be able to figure out the puzzle to help save their patients……

Dunn – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
I love finding a great boxset of books and I could not put these books down! I was drawn in by the writing and was intrigued by the synopsis on the books. I found myself wanting to just sit and seclude myself in a room away from everyone wanting to read the books. It had everything that I wanted in a book, including action, romance, a great story line! I loved it all and I cannot wait to read more books by this author! I cannot wait to tell my friends about these books so that they can read them as well and we can all tallk about our favorite parts together!

This series I can say wothout a doubt, will instantly pull you in. It follows the Hawke family (and a few individuals close to them) as they navigate their oftentimes, complicated life. Although each book can be read separately, they build on each other and help significantly by starting from book one; which I highly recommend. The character development continues to grow with the series and each book brings on a new emotion.
Book One The books follows Savage and Danika and their unlikely romance. They find each other in the most unlikely of places and although neither was expecting to find love, they are perfect for each other. Dani is the perfect amount of spice that Savage needs and Savage is the calm that Dani needs. The action is just starting in this book.
Book Two Gabe and Skye should not work. They’ve known eachother since they were kids. Everyone sees them as family but the two have had feelings that they’re having a hard time denying. Only time will tell if this can work. You can definitely feel how each other souls are tortured but looking for that someone.
Book Three Stone has been strange until it’s revealed he’s been helping Uncle Dom. Nora is sweet with a hint of spice. Stone doesn’t think he’s good enough for Nora and Nora thinks Stone is a pig, and yet, they can’t seem to stay away from each other. Another book with hope, love, and heartache. This book has by far the most action so far in the series and makes you wanting more.
Book Four Storm has not had it easy and heartache has her trapped in her own head. Landon is desperately trying to escape his past. It the most unexpected ways they cross each other’s paths. This is by far the most emotional and heart wrenching book so far in the series. There could be several triggering moments but it is dealt with in a caring and heartfelt manner. This may be my favorite book so far.
Book Five Such a sweet short story of finding love where you least expect it. I love seeing stories of the background characters that played a role in the Hawke family. Caroline and Saint, although not major characters in the first four books, are very important to the family. Lot of detail packed in a small package.
Book Six This book brought the series full circle with a surprising ending. I really enjoyed the final conclusion being about Luca and Byron. Their relationship, i feel, was really important. There were hints of this conclusion in the last few books and you’ll find yourself saying “Oh, that makes sense now”. Great series.
This was such a great intense romance book. I truly had a hard time putting it down. The author did a great job with the thought process of the storyline, plot, characters etc. As soon as I read the first chapter it had my attention. This book was about how love can be found in unexpected ways. I highly recommend this book.
This collection of novels encompasses all of the novels in Gwyn Mcnamee’s first generation of the Hawke family series. All six books Savage Collison, Tainted Sky, Stone Sober, Building Storm, Tainted Saint, and Steele Resolve are all wonderful, well written books that will suck you in from the start and not let go. I wanted to devour all six books at once, but you know, life, so I had to pace myself but they are something you will want to spend a lot of time devouring because they are incredibly addicting, full of action, and lots of steamy romance from story to story. I have added this author to my auto buy list, I am looking forward to her next series concerning the second generation of the Hawke family series, and checking out her back log of books that have already been released.

Book 3 follows Stone, the younger brother and lawyer in the family. He’s smart, he’s handsome and he’s very arrogant. Nora should be off – limits but can they stay away from one another? Both have secrets and Stone is mixed up with some dangerous people. Another great read in this series

sinfully deliSharing His Nanny and it was HOT, Hot, hot! This is the second book in the Forever Our Girl series. I love that the main FMC was BBW comfortable in her own skin. This Erotica Rom Com has it all for one sexual, sensual, spicy, steamy story. Think Three Men and a Baby only with a super sexy nanny and erotica. The story is interesting and engaging and is plot driven and as we get to know the characters and follow their journey. They each have their own voice as told in their own POV giving a deeper insight into what is happening. I fell in love with each of them and felt for them when things were rough. This reverse harem story is chock-a-block full of everything – stepbrother/stepsister, brother’s best friends, age gap, bi, MM/FMM/MFM/FMMM, D/s and kink tropes then you will like this one. Some would say it is full of taboo themes but I think it is just the way it is meant to be. There is a lot going on and there is humour and a little angst. Some things annoyed me at times but hey they are only (fictional) human. She needs financial backing and he needs a nanny, simple right? All in all it was a sinfully delightful fun read and I look forward to reading more from this author.

This was a really good series. It follows the Hawke family siblings and their friends. Set in New Orleans, you get clubs, murder, mob, hurricanes and lots of family drama! Some very streamy scenes as well. Well written and you get to really know the characters as they develop.
