The Hawke Family Complete Collection by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!!
